Player Notes

  • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. getting night off on Thursday
    Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is not in the lineup for Thursday’s series opener against the Giants.

    Advice: It appears to be a routine off day for Gurriel with Jake McCarthy getting the nod in left field to face Giants ace Logan Webb. The 30-year-old slugger is batting .263 (20-for-76) with five homers, 20 RBI and two steals across 84 plate appearances through 18 games. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
  • Tyler O’Neill (concussion) targets Tuesday return
    Tyler O’Neill (concussion) is hoping to return for next Tuesday’s series opener against the Guardians.

    Advice: O’Neill confirmed Thursday to reporters that he’s been diagnosed with a concussion and has been dealing with some dizziness and lightheadedness. He added that he was feeling a bit better on Thursday a few days after a brutal on-field collision with teammate Rafael Devers. He’ll travel with the team this weekend, despite being on the 7-day concussion injured list, and is hoping to be ready to return when first eligible next week. There should be some clarity on his status at some point this weekend or early next week. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
  • Adolis García swats fifth homer of year vs. Tigers
    Adolis García went 2-for-5 while homering in a victory over the Tigers on Thursday.

    Advice: García swatted a solo homer in the third inning of Kenta Maeda to give the Rangers a 5-4 lead. The 31-year-old has had no trouble depositing baseballs over the fence in 2024, as he’s up to five homers with the roundtripper and is now slugging .568 over 74 at-bats. Those betting on regression from García have been sorely mistaken over the first month of the year. Rotoworld Today, 1:21 pm
  • Jarren Duran triples, steals base against CLE
    Jarren Duran went 1-for-2 with a two-run triple and a stolen base against the Guardians on Thursday.

    Advice: Duran showed off his speed in a couple different ways Thursday. The 27-year-old plated two with his first triple of the season, and the steal already gives the outfielder seven on the young campaign. Duran has gone through some lulls in his short MLB career, but the highs have been awfully exciting. It’s certainly possible 2024 is the year he puts it all together. Rotoworld Today, 1:20 pm
  • Amed Rosario triples in victory over Angels
    Amed Rosario went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI against the Angels on Thursday.

    Advice: Rosario plated Richie Palacios with his triple in the first inning off Griffin Canning to give Tampa Bay a 1-0 cushion. The three-bagger cames a day after Rosario blasted a two-run homer, and the former top prospect has been swinging the bat well to begin the 2024 campaign as seen in his .339 average and .532 slugging mark. Rosario has been streaky throughout his career, and he appears to be on the right side of that line to begin 2024. Rotoworld Today, 12:37 pm
