  • Makes splash in big-league return
    Hernaiz went 2-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run in a 3-1 win over the Yankees on Thursday.

    Advice: Hernaiz, who was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, made an impact at the bottom of the order for an offense-starved Oakland team. He had significant trouble mastering big-league arms during his initial tenure with the Athletics to open the season, but he should have a chance for some additional valuable reps while Zack Gelof (oblique) is on the 10-day injured list.

  • Belts second homer Thursday
    Urias went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Rangers on Thursday.

    Advice: Urias made some noise near the bottom of the order, snapping a 2-2 tie via a 398-foot fifth-inning shot to left center with Dylan Moore aboard. The offseason addition had last left the park way back on April 6, and despite the timely long ball Thursday, Urias is sitting on just a .179 average and .303 OBP across his first 33 plate appearances. However, he's also carrying a .500 slugging percentage, thanks to the fact all five of his hits have gone for extra bases (three doubles, two homers). Rotowire.com Today, 9:33 am
  • Swipes second bag
    Clement went 1-for-1 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's rain-shortened loss to the Royals.

    Advice: Getting the start at third base and batting sixth, Clement did what he could with his opportunities, dropping a sacrifice bunt in the second inning before singling home the Jays' only run of the game in the fourth. The 28-year-old has a four-game RBI streak going despite sporadic playing time, and while he sports an impressive .292/.300/.479 slash line on the season with two homers, two steals, six RBI and nine runs in 51 plate appearances, Clement is one of five utility players currently on the big-league roster -- along with Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Cavan Biggio, Davis Schneider and the recently promoted Addison Barger -- who are splitting time between second base, third base and left field. Unless that logjam gets cleared a little, it will be tough for Clement or any of that cohort to provide consistent fantasy value. Rotowire.com Today, 9:30 am
  • Picking up more playing time
    Rosario went 1-for-2 with a walk, a run and an RBI in Thursday's 10-9 loss to the Rockies.

    Advice: Rosario made his third start at third base in four games, with Thursday's assignment being particularly notable since it came with the Padres facing a right-handed hurler in Colorado's Dakota Hudson. Tyler Wade had been starting at the hot corner against right-handers in the early part of the season, but Rosario could end up unseating him as the preferred option at the position, at least until Manny Machado is able to play the field once he completes his recovery from offseason elbow surgery. Rosario has been more productive at the dish than Wade this season with a .282/.333/.564 slash line, two home runs, five doubles and five RBI over 43 plate appearances, and the 24-year-old might have earned himself more opportunities against right-handed pitching as a result.

  • Makes start in left field
    Wade was the Padres' starting left fielder in Thursday's loss against Colorado and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base.

    Advice: Wade got his first look in the outfield this season -- previously, all of his defensive work came at either third or second base. The veteran has played in the outfield plenty throughout his career, logging at least a handful of games there in every campaign except 2020. Wade's versatility could help him continue to start semi-regularly even as Eguy Rosario gets more reps at third base. Rosario has started at the hot corner in three of San Diego's past four contests, with Thursday's game being particularly notable since the Rockies started a right-handed pitcher.
