  • Blasts first homer
    Miranda went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI during the Twins' 7-4 loss to the Orioles

    Advice: Miranda came into the game with just two hits in 13 at-bats but topped that mark with three hits Monday to go along with a 411-foot blast to left center that represented his first home run of the season. The 26-year-old Miranda was recalled on April 8 with Monday's game representing his fifth start and seventh appearance since the rejoining the big club. He followed up a strong rookie campaign in 2022 by struggling significantly last season and failing to make the club out of camp this season. However, until Royce Lewis (quad) returns, Miranda should continue to see a decent amount of playing time. Rotowire.com Today, 8:41 pm

  • Flores’ go-ahead single lifts Giants over Marlins
    Wilmer Flores’ pinch hit in the seventh inning helped lift the Giants to a 4-3 win over the Marlins on Monday.

    Advice: Flores was not in the starting lineup on Monday, but delivered a clutch RBI single in the seventh inning to score. The 32-year-old came is coming back from a shoulder injury that he suffered at the end of March, but he’s likely to stay in a platoon role as a pinch hitter and at first base. Flores is slashing .250/317/.278 with three RBI in his first 11 games this season Rotoworld Today, 7:13 pm
  • J.D. Davis placed on injured list by A’s
    Athletics placed INF J.D. Davis on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain.

    Advice: Davis will hit the shelf, and the A’s are recalling Esteury Ruiz from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace Davis on the roster. It sounds like this is more precautionary than a significant injury, so there’s a good chance Davis will be back with the A’s by the end of April. Rotoworld Today, 6:52 pm
