Player Notes

  • Moves to bench Thursday
    Renfroe is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Renfroe will sit for the second time in three days while Kansas City opens up room in the outfield for Adam Frazier, who will occupy left field while MJ Melendez shifts over to right. Through 72 plate appearances this season, Renfroe is slashing just .149/.208/.284 with two home runs and 10 RBI. He could be in danger of fading into a part-time role in the Kansas City outfield.

  • Goes yard again Wednesday
    Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Yankees.

    Advice: The 34-year-old first baseman appears to be heating up. Rizzo has gone yard in back-to-back games after managing only one homer in his first 23 contests this season. His .242/.314/.358 slash line and 11 RBI remain below expectations, but after a tough, concussion-marred 2023 campaign, Rizzo's beginning to look more like the player who slugged 32 homers in 2022.

  • Four more hits Wednesday
    Bohm went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a walk in Wednesday's 7-4 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Bohm's been on a tear of late. He now has multiple hits in four straight contests while extending his hitting streak to eight games -- he's 16-for-30 with a 1.522 OPS in that span. The 27-year-old Bohm's now slashing .337/.430/.558 with three homers, 21 RBI and 11 runs scored through his first 25 games this season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:28 am
  • Phillies option Kody Clemens to Triple-A
    Phillies optioned INF Kody Clemens to Triple-A Lehigh.

    Advice: Clemens came up to the active roster while Bryce Harper was away on paternity leave. The 27-year-old made the most of his time up when he hit a three-run home run on Monday, but wasn’t in the lineup for Philly’s last two games. He’ll head down to the minors where he is slashing .270/.333/.508 with three homers and 11 RBI in 16 games this season. Rotoworld Today, 7:24 am
  • Reinstated from paternity leave
    The Phillies reinstated Harper (personal) from the paternity leave list Thursday.

    Advice: Harper missed the first three games of the series in Cincinnati after welcoming his third child into the world, but he's back for the series finale in Cincinnati. The two-time MVP will start at first base and bat third against the Reds. Rotowire.com Today, 7:16 am
  • Performance turning around
    Diaz went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday against the Tigers.

    Advice: Diaz got off to a slow start to the season, but he now has at least one hit in seven of his last eight starts. In that span, he also has four multi-hit performances and a .314 batting average. Counting stats haven't followed Diaz's turnaround at the plate, but as the locked-in leadoff hitter, that should also change as the season progresses. Rotowire.com Today, 7:07 am
  • Takes advantage of rare start
    Singleton went 2-for-4 with a run scored Wednesday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Singleton was in the lineup for the ninth time this season while filling in for Jose Abreu at first base and hitting seventh. He managed his second multi-hit performance of the campaign and is hitting .256 across 43 plate appearances. Even with Abreu's struggles this season, Singleton looks unlikely to pick up significant playing time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:24 pm
  • Luis Arraez posts three hits in loss to Braves
    Luis Arraez went 3-for-5 with a run scored on Wednesday in the Marlins’ extra-inning loss to the Braves.

    Advice: Just like that, Arraez is batting .299 (32-for-107) after notching his seventh multi-hit performance in the last two weeks. He sparked Miami’s ninth-inning rally against Braves stopper Raisel Iglesias with a leadoff single to cap off a three-hit effort. He’s in the midst of an extended hot streak at the moment and it wouldn’t be surprising at all if he were back in the batting title race in a few weeks. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:32 pm
  • Shut down for seven days
    LeMahieu is still dealing with swelling in his right foot and will be shut down from baseball activity for a week, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu had to make an early exit from his first rehab game at Double-A Somerset on Tuesday after his fractured right foot began bothering him in the first inning. After getting checked out by team doctors Wednesday, he will officially be pulled off his rehab assignment and shut down from all activity for the next seven days. Next steps for the 35-year-old infielder will be determined once his seven days are up, though it seems his target return date will be pushed back well into May. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:23 pm
