Player Notes

  • 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 first homer Thursday
    Allen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Yankees on Thursday.

    Advice: The normally light-hitting shortstop squared up on a Nelson Cortes offering in the third inning to erase an early 1-0 deficit for Oakland. Allen's round tripper was his first of the season, and his first extra-base hit since March 31. The 25-year-old's season slash line is still a miserable .171/.216/.229, but Allen has now hit safely in four of his last five games. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
  • 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 23 minutes ago
  • 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.

  • Working as reserve infielder
    Williams went 1-for-4 with a stolen base Thursday against the Brewers.

    Advice: The 25-year-old was in the lineup for the 10th time this season, as he stepped in at second base while Jared Triolo shifted to third in place of a resting Ke'Bryan Hayes. Williams has at least one hit in all but one of his starts this season, but he remains a bench option for Pittsburgh despite hitting .323 (10-for-31). Rotowire.com Today, 8:16 am
