Player Notes

  • Called up Sunday
    The Marlins recalled Myers from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

    Advice: The 28-year-old was unable to earn a place on Miami's Opening Day roster but will join the big club a month into the season. Myers had a poor start to the campaign at Jacksonville with a .659 OPS and 31.8 percent strikeout rate in 25 games. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
  • Homers in win
    Benson went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Benson homered and donned the celebratory Viking helmet for the fourth time this season. He's scuffled since the middle of the month and entered Saturday's contest on a 3-for-32 (.094) stretch. Despite the struggles, Benson was recently elevated to leadoff against right-handers, but it's unclear if the experiment will continue. The lefty-hitting outfielder is 4-for-21 (.190) with a .227 on-base percentage in five games as the leadoff hitter. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
  • Clubs sixth homer
    Stanton went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run during Saturday's 15-3 win at Milwaukee.

    Advice: The veteran slugger entered Saturday without a homer in eight straight games, but he went deep in the ninth inning against position player Owen Miller. Stanton also had an infield single in the opening frame but struck out in his other three plate appearances, which is his second game this season with three strikeouts. Even including Saturday's homer, Stanton has a .214/.290/.393 slash line over his past nine games. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
  • Season-high three RBI in loss
    Adell went 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Saturday's loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Adell launched a two-out, two-run homer in his first trip to the plate to bring the Angels back within two runs of Minnesota before adding an RBI single in his next at-bat, giving him a season-high three RBI in the contest. It also marked the outfielder's first three-hit performance of the campaign and he's now tallied multiple hits in three of his last six games. He's now batting .350 in April with three homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
  • Back in lineup
    McCarthy started in right field, batted leadoff and went 1-for-3 with a walk, triple and an RBI in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: McCarthy was back in the starting lineup after sitting out the previous two games and tripled home the Diamondbacks' lone run in the eighth inning. This was his first time batting atop the order, as primary leadoff hitter Ketel Marte was moved to third. With the triple, McCarthy extended a hit streak to six games, going 8-for-18 with three walks, two RBI and four runs. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
  • Drives in four runs
    Verdugo went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI and two runs in Saturday's 15-3 win against the Brewers.

    Advice: The Yankees offense came alive Saturday, and Verdugo led the way with a three-run homer in the opening inning. It was the outfielder's second straight game with a homer and his fourth long ball of the campaign. Verdugo started slow over the first couple weeks of the season with a .454 OPS through 10 games, but over the past three weeks he has a .350/.446/.600 slash line with six doubles, three homers and an 11:7 BB:K in 74 plate appearances.

  • Launches first homer
    Kepler went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Saturday's win over the Angels.

    Advice: Kepler drew a bases-loaded walk in the first to send home the Twins' first run of the game and added a leadoff single in his next at-bat before coming around to score on a Carlos Santana double. The outfielder then launched his first homer of the season in the sixth to increase Minnesota's lead, giving him just his third multi-hit performance of the campaign. However, all three of those performances have come over his last six games, raising his batting average from .125 to .231 over that stretch. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
  • Launches two massive homers
    Alvarez went 3-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI during Saturday's 12-4 win at Colorado.

    Advice: The Houston slugger busted out of a 5-for-25 slump Saturday with two homers that each went 461 feet. Alvarez is off to a bit of a slow start in 2024 with what would be a career-worst .867 OPS, but he's still been plenty productive with seven homers, 17 RBI and 18 runs through 27 games.

  • Hits go-ahead homer in extras
    Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Giants.

    Advice: Reynolds went down on strikes in his first two trips to the plate before eventually adding a single in the top of the eighth. He then jumped on the first pitch he saw from Tyler Rogers in the 10th and sent it into the stands in left field for a two-run shot, putting the Pirates up 3-1. It marked the ninth multi-hit effort this season for Reynolds, who's now homered in two of his last four contests. On the downside, he's also struck out twice in three of those four games.
