Player Notes

  • Inserted into lineup
    Cruz was placed back into the Pirates' lineup versus the Mets on Tuesday after a lineup adjustment.

    Advice: Cruz was initially not in the lineup Tuesday. With southpaw Jose Quintana on the mound for the Mets, Pirates manager Derek Shelton thought that it was a good time to give the left-handed hitting Cruz a breather. The shortstop's insertion into the lineup corresponds with Ke'Bryan Hayes's late scratch. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
  • Braves summon David Fletcher to active roster
    Braves selected the contract of INF David Fletcher from Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: Fletcher has been added to Atlanta’s infield mix with fantasy superstar Ozzie Albies landing on the 10-day injured list with a fractured toe. The 29-year-old infielder slashed .247/.302/.326 across 97 plate appearances with the Angels last season and was traded to the Braves in December. He won’t be able to replace Albies in fantasy lineups but he’ll be in a lineup filled with some of the best talent in baseball. Rotoworld Today, 1:15 pm
  • On base three times Monday
    Lindor went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Monday's win over the Pirates.

    Advice: It's been a tough start to the campaign for the shortstop, but Lindor is beginning to come around. He's delivered back-to-back two-hit games, and over the last eight contests he's batting .257 (9-for-35) with two doubles, a homer, four RBI, six runs and a sharp 4:1 BB:K.

  • Defense becomes issue
    Alexander leads all shortstops with minus-6 outs above average, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

    Advice: Geraldo Perdomo's knee injury presented an opportunity for Alexander, and while the infielder has hit well, his fielding could cost him starts. He had miscues during the team's road trip in Atlanta, which prompted a meeting with manager Torey Lovullo, who reassured the shortstop that he loves his game but there's work to do. Infield coach Tony Perezchica is confident in Alexander's range but emphasized the need to make the routine plays. Thus far, Alexander hasn't let the defense affect his offense (.286/.359/.457).

  • Goes deep in win
    Abrams went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional run and a double in Monday's 6-4 victory against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Abrams led off the game with a double, reached third base on a groundout and scored on a Tyler Glasnow wild pitch. He added a solo homer off Tyler Glasnow in the third inning to round out a productive night. Abrams has gone 5-for-13 over his past three games, with all five of his hits during that span going for extra bases. On the season, he has an impressive 1.004 OPS with four homers, three doubles, two triples, 10 RBI, nine runs and three stolen bases over 60 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:58 pm
