  • Cal Raleigh homers, plates two to lead Mariners
    Cal Raleigh homered and drove in a pair of runs on Wednesday afternoon, powering the Mariners to a 5-1 victory over the Reds in Seattle.

    Advice: Raleigh tied the game at one run apiece with a 384-foot (104.0 mph EV) solo shot off of left-hander Andrew Abbott in the home half of the second inning. He also capped off the scoring in the ballgame as he worked a bases-loaded walk in the seventh inning. The hard-hitting backstop finished the day 1-for-2 officially and is now hitting .208/.311/.377 with three long balls and six RBI on the season. Rotoworld Today, 4:39 pm
  • Mitch Garver belts first home run in win over Reds
    Mitch Garver belted his first home run as a member of the Mariners in Wednesday afternoon’s victory over the Reds.

    Advice: The 33-year-old slugger belted a go-ahead 393-foot (105.4 mph EV) solo shot off of left-hander Andrew Abbott in the sixth inning, putting the Mariners ahead to stay. That was his only hit in three at-bats on the day, though he did draw a walk as well. The first couple of weeks of the season have been a real struggle for Garver, who is still hitting just .160/.283/.280 with a homer and four RBI. Rotoworld Today, 4:33 pm
  • Sitting Wednesday
    McGuire isn't in Boston's lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: McGuire is just 2-for-13 across his last five games, so he'll sit out Wednesday while Connor Wong starts behind the plate and bats sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:04 pm
  • Sitting for nightcap
    Maldonado isn't in the White Sox's lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals.

    Advice: Maldonado went 0-for-2 with two strikeouts during Game 1, lowering his batting average down to .061. He'll be replaced behind the dish by Korey Lee, who will bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:08 pm
  • Salvador Perez clobbers go-ahead homer in return
    Salvador Perez walloped a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning to power the Royals to a 4-2 victory over the White Sox in the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader.

    Advice: Kansas City’s captain clobbered a no-doubter to left field off White Sox burgeoning relief ace Michael Kopech in the eighth inning to put the Royals ahead for good in the opening contest of Wednesday’s twin bill. It’s an even more impressive feat considering the 33-year-old veteran backstop is playing through a Grade 1 left groin strain that he suffered earlier this week. He’s off to a remarkable start at the plate so far, posting a .953 OPS with nine runs scored, five homers and 17 RBI through 17 contests. Rotoworld Today, 1:48 pm
  • Takes seat against southpaw
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Rortvedt will give way to the righty-hitting Rene Pinto behind the plate while southpaw Reid Detmers takes the hill for the Angels. Rortvedt appears to have secured a strong-side platoon role at catcher after posting an .852 OPS through his first 31 plate appearances of the season. Rotowire.com Today, 1:17 pm
  • Sitting out Wednesday
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.

    Advice: Naylor caught the previous two games for the Guardians but will give way to Austin Hedges on Wednesday. The young catcher is slashing .186/.327/.326 with two home runs and a 20:9 K:BB over his first 52 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 1:13 pm
  • May have concussion symptoms
    Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Bart was scratched from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's 9-1 loss to the Mets after the catcher wasn't feeling well leading up to game time, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: While elaborating on the matter, Shelton noted that Bart was hit in the head by a ball during batting practice a few days ago, but the Pirates had fully expected the 27-year-old to be ready to catch for Wednesday's series finale. However, in light of Bart being scratched prior to first pitch a few days after taking the hit to the head, it's possible that the catcher is dealing with symptoms of a concussion. The Pirates haven't explicitly said that Bart is in concussion protocol at this time, so he'll be considered day-to-day heading into this weekend's three-game series with the Red Sox.
