  • Getting regular playing time at SS
    Luciano will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Luciano will pick up his fifth straight start after going 6-for-15 with two doubles, two walks, four runs and one RBI over the previous four contests. He should continue to hold down a regular role at shortstop while Nick Ahmed (wrist) is on the shelf, and Luciano may keep the job once Ahmed is healthy if he can continue to produce at the plate.

  • Exits starting nine Wednesday
    Mateo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: After playing the final three innings of Tuesday's suspended game earlier Wednesday and finishing 1-for-3 with an RBI double in Baltimore's 3-1 loss, Mateo will get a breather for the regularly scheduled game. Jordan Westburg will shift over from third base and man the keystone in place of Mateo, whose streak of seven consecutive starts comes to an end. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:33 am
     
  • Homers again Tuesday
    Seager went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Seager had a rough time against Phillies starter Ranger Suarez, going 0-for-4 with four strikeouts to start the day. However, he'd turn his night around with a solo home run off Jeff Hoffman in the eighth inning, cutting Texas' deficit to 3-2. The long ball extended Seager's hitting streak to six games -- he's gone 7-for-22 (.318) with three homers in that span. The 30-year-old shortstop is now slashing .246/.335/.383 with seven homers, 18 RBI and 20 runs scored through 200 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:13 am
     
  • Raps out four hits
    Garcia went 4-for-5 with two triples, one RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Garcia showcased his speed Tuesday with the pair of triples. The third baseman has gone 14-for-39 (.359) during his nine-game hitting streak, and he's added three steals, eight RBI and nine runs scored in that span. For the season, the leadoff hitter is slashing .263/.308/.429 with five home runs, 32 RBI, 28 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 48 games. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:20 pm
     
  • Corey Seager homers in loss to Phillies
    Corey Seager went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Phillies on Tuesday.

    Advice: Seager crushed an offering from Jeff Hoffman 103.3 mph off the bat and 380 feet for his seventh home run of the year. It was also his fifth home run in 18 games in May as the power is starting to show up. However, Seager also had four strike outs on Tuesday and is still hitting just .246/.335/.383 on the season. The power surge is encouraging and hopefully it will lead to a full-on hot streak in the coming weeks. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:05 pm
     
  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Sosa is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Rangers.

    Advice: Sosa has received most of the starts at shortstop since Trea Turner went down and boasts a .924 OPS over that time. However, the Phillies are going with Bryson Stott at shortstop and Kody Clemens at second base versus righty Jon Gray and the Rangers. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:02 pm
     
  • Missing from Tuesday's lineup
    Caballero is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

  • Hammers out four hits Monday
    Bichette went 4-for-4 with three doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Monday's win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Batting cleanup against righty Erick Fedde, Bichette scorched the ball all afternoon, and his final two doubles left his bat with exit velocities of 110.4 mph and 105.8 mph. After a tough start to 2024, the shortstop is catching fire at the plate, recording three multi-hit performances in his last six games and slashing .368/.429/.553 over his last 10 contests.

  • Carlos Correa blasts homer in loss to Nationals
    Carlos Correa clubbed a two-run homer on Monday in the Twins’ blowout loss to the Nationals.

    Advice: Correa walloped a two-run shot off Nationals starter Mitchell Parker in the sixth inning, but it did little to alter the outcome of Monday’s series opener. It was just his third round-tripper of the season. The 29-year-old shortstop is batting .267/.361/.419 with 16 runs scored, three homers and 12 RBI in 122 plate appearances. Rotoworld Monday, 6:47 pm
