  • Back in lineup
    Candelario is batting third and the designated hitter for Friday's game against Boston.

    Advice: Candelario had been battling unspecified tendinitis the past few days and missed the Reds' most recent game. However, he'll be back in action Friday, claiming DH duties. Rotowire.com Today, 12:24 pm
  • Out against left-hander
    Busch is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Mets.

    Advice: The Mets are sending southpaw Jose Quintana to the bump, which means Busch will begin this one on the bench. Patrick Wisdom is getting the start at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 8:44 am
  • Slugs seventh homer
    Machado went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Thursday's win over Milwaukee.

    Advice: Machado jumped on a four-seamer from Bryse Wilson with two outs in the bottom of the first inning and sent it into the stands in right field to put San Diego up 3-1. The third baseman would also add a single, giving him his third multi-hit performance in his last four games. Machado is now up to seven homers on the season, though Thursday's long ball was only his second since May 3. Rotowire.com Today, 7:50 am
  • Three hits, three RBI in win
    Donovan went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Giants.

    Advice: Donovan continued to rake Thursday, posting his fourth three-hit game of the campaign and his third multi-hit performance in his last four contests. The outfielder's two-run blast in the first inning gave the Cardinals an early 3-0 lead, while his two-out, RBI single in the fifth added what would prove to be a pivotal insurance run. Donovan is up to seven long balls on the season, with three coming this month and two coming over his last three games. He's batting .299 in June with 11 RBI and seven runs scored.

  • Tallies two thefts Thursday
    Taylor went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: It's been a brutal season for Taylor, as evidenced by the fact that this was his first multi-hit game. The utility man capitalized on reaching base three times by swiping two bags after entering Thursday with just one steal this season. Taylor is still slashing a putrid .131/.230/.192 on the campaign, but he's at least shown some signs of life of late, going 5-for-15 over his past six contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:34 pm

  • Brendan Donovan leads Cardinals to win over Giants
    Brendan Donovan went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBI on Thursday, powering the Cardinals to a 6-5 victory over the Giants at historic Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama.

    Advice: Donovan served as the Cardinals’ primary offensive catalyst in this one as the Alabama native took Giants starter Keaton Winn deep in the opening frame for his seventh big fly of the season. He also plated a key insurance run with a fifth-inning RBI single against Giants lefty reliever Taylor Rogers. The three-hit effort raises his batting average to a solid .258 mark to go along with 33 runs scored, seven homers, 36 RBI and one steal over 69 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:08 pm

  • Noelvi Marte batting .194 at Triple-A Louisville
    Reds 3B prospect Noelvi Marte went 0-for-5 with a pair of strikeouts on Thursday for Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Marte is batting .194 through eight games at Triple-A Louisville as he continues to knock off some of the rust following a lengthy layoff due to a league-issued 80-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:40 pm

  • Brett Baty homers again on Thursday at Triple-A
    Brett Baty launched a two-run homer on Thursday for Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Baty went deep for the second consecutive contest and is up to five round-trippers in just 11 games since June 1. The 24-year-old former top prospect is batting .370 (17-for-46). It feels like only a matter of time before he gets another look in the big leagues for New York. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:19 pm
  • Tyler Black at first base on Thursday vs. Padres
    Tyler Black is at first base and batting seventh on Thursday against the Giants.

    Advice: Black is making his first appearance back in the majors since early May when he batted .227 (5-for-22) with zero homers and two steals in a brief seven-game cameo. The 23-year-old possesses exemplary plate skills and ultra-rare stolen base prowess for a first base-eligible fantasy option. The 23-year-old top prospect is going to make a significant impact for fantasy managers, if he can carve out an everyday role for Milwaukee. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:03 pm
