    • Another three-hit day
      Rojas went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Astros.

      Advice: Rojas delivered his second consecutive three-hit game, falling a home run short of hitting for the cycle. On the year, Rojas is slashing .360/.442/.587 with three home runs and three steals while striking out at a 13.9 percent clip. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:13 pm
       
    • Sits in fourth straight
      Ortiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

      Advice: Ortiz finds himself on the bench for the fourth game in a row, a surprising development considering that he's maintaining an excellent .388 on-base percentage and .827 OPS through 80 plate appearances on the season. According to Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Ortiz's benching isn't disciplinary in nature or due to any dissatisfaction of his performance. Instead, manager Pat Murphy expressed a desire to take a longer look at rookie Oliver Dunn, who hadn't gotten to play much over the past few weeks once Ortiz emerged as the superior option at third base. Dunn will start his fourth straight game Sunday, and Murphy said the Brewers are using the run of extended action to evaluate whether it's worthwhile to keep Dunn in a utility role with the big club or to have him play more frequently in the minors.

    • Joey Ortiz gets Sunday off vs. Cubs
      Joey Ortiz is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Cubs.

      Advice: Ortiz also was out Saturday, so the infielder stays on the bench to begin at least one more game. Oliver Dunn is starting at third base in Ortiz’s place. This is something to keep an eye on moving forward. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:24 am
       
    • Idle versus LHP
      Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Saturday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: Left-hander Framber Valdez will take the mound Saturday for Houston, sending the left-handed bat of Rojas to the bench for the beginning of the game. Luis Urias will cover the hot corner instead and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 1:58 pm
       
    • Josh Rojas has three hits in loss to Astros
      Josh Rojas picked up three hits in a loss Friday to the Astros.

      Advice: Rojas singled all three times. It’s been an outstanding beginning to the 2024 campaign for the long-time Diamondback, as the three-hit game sees his average jump up to .338. Rojas is hitting at the top of the lineup while J.P. Crawford is out, and if he is still available in fantasy leagues, he’s more than worthy of consideration. Rotoworld Friday, 8:05 pm
       
    • Takes seat Friday
      Ortiz is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

      Advice: It's the second straight game on the bench for Ortiz after making five consecutive starts, and he went 5-for-15 with five walks, three doubles, a homer and five RBI during that stretch. Oliver Dunn will receive another start at the hot corner Friday in Chicago. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:34 am
       
    • Three hits, steal in win
      Castro went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple, an RBI, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 10-5 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Castro wound up a homer shy of a cycle Wednesday while recording his fifth multi-hit game during his current eight-game hitting streak. He's gone 16-for-35 (.457) over the course of the streak, boosting his slash line to .270/.339/.450 through 30 games this year. The 27-year-old Castro added two homers, 13 runs scored, 12 RBI and three stolen bases while serving as the Twins' primary third baseman in the absence of Royce Lewis (quadriceps).

    • Willi Castro goes 3-for-5, steals base
      Willi Castro went 3-for-5 with a triple, a double and a stolen base Wednesday as the Twins took down the White Sox 10-5.

      Advice: Castro has really warmed up, going 16-for-35 with eight RBI in his last eight games. That’s raised his OPS from .538 to 789. He was in line to lose playing time due to Carlos Correa’s return, but the hot streak has changed that, and now that Byron Buxton is down, there’s little doubt that Castro will stay in the lineup for a while. He’s an option for teams in need of steals. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:27 pm

    • Sits against lefty
      Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: With southpaw Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Rojas will retreat to the bench. Luis Urias will draw the start at third base in the series finale. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:19 am
