  • Receiving Sunday off
    Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Astros.

    Advice: It's a well-deserved day off for Alvarez, who posted a .471/.558/.882 slash line with five doubles and three homers while starting the past 17 games. Luis Torrens will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Luis Severino on Sunday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:29 am
     
  • Slugs another clutch home run
    O'Hoppe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning win against Detroit.

    Advice: One day after belting a decisive three-run homer in the eighth inning, O'Hoppe tormented the Tigers again with a game-tying solo blast in the eighth frame. The budding star ranks fifth among MLB backstops with 12 long balls on the campaign while slashing a strong .273/.325/.478. O'Hoppe has knocked in at least one run in five of his past six contests and has collected seven total RBI during that span. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:07 am
     
  • Receiving rest day
    Grandal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: After starting behind the plate in five of the past six games, Grandal will get a breather in the series finale in Atlanta. The Pirates brought back Joey Bart (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Sunday and will put him to work right away, as he'll fill in at catcher while Grandal rests. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:50 am
     
  • Getting afternoon off
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Alex Jackson will draw the start behind the plate while Rortvedt hits the bench for the series finale. Rortvedt caught all nine innings of Saturday's 8-1 loss, going hitless in three at-bats. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:25 am
     
  • Getting afternoon off
    Wong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

    Advice: Wong will get the afternoon off after he started behind the plate both of the past two days, going 2-for-8 with an RBI between those contests. Reese McGuire will draw the start at catcher in the series finale. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:16 am
     
  • Collects three hits, three RBI
    Smith went 3-for-6 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's win over the Giants.

    Advice: Smith tied the game at five runs apiece with an infield single in the fifth and later added a two-run double in the 11th to put the Dodgers on top 9-7, marking his first multi-hit effort since June 11 against the Rangers. Despite his recent struggles at the plate, the catcher has still managed to post eight RBI over his last nine games and is now up to 50 RBI on the season. However, he's also struck out twice in three of his last five contests. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:37 am
     
  • Clubs homer Saturday
    Wells went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a double in a 9-3 loss to Toronto on Saturday.

    Advice: The Yankees got beat pretty soundly Saturday, so Wells' two-run blast in the ninth inning didn't make much of an impact on the outcome. However, it was a positive development for the catcher's stat line after he had gone just 3-for-18 at the plate over his previous nine games. Wells is slashing a modest .213/.304/.346 with three homers, 13 RBI, 18 runs and a stolen base on the campaign. Over New York's past six contests, Jose Trevino has started four times to Wells' two starts, but the tide may be shifting with Wells getting his second straight start Sunday.

  • Goes deep in loss
    Rogers went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and three total RBI in Saturday's 6-5, 10-inning loss to the Angels.

    Advice: Rogers delivered a key blast in the top of the sixth inning to put the Tigers up 5-2, but Los Angeles scored the final four runs of the contest to spoil his effort. The Detroit backstop is now up to six long balls this season in 51 games, which is a step back from last year's pace, when he swatted a career-high 21 homers in 107 contests. Rogers is still capable of getting hot quickly, though he's splitting time behind the plate with Carson Kelly, which impacts either player's ability to sustain much momentum.
