  • Returns to Triple-A
    The Twins optioned Henriquez to Triple-A St. Paul on Thursday.

    Advice: Henriquez will head back to the minors as the Twins clear a spot on the 26-man active roster for right-hander David Festa, who was called up from St. Paul to start Thursday's game in Arizona. During his two-day stay with the Twins, Henriquez made one appearance, tossing a scoreless inning and striking out a batter in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

  • David Villar launches first homer vs. Cubs
    David Villar went 1-for-3 with a solo homer against the Cubs on Wednesday.

    Advice: Villar got a chance with the big league club after slugging 12 homers across 58 Triple-A games. He took Hayden Wesneski deep for a solo homer in the second inning for his first homer of the season. The 27-year-old first baseman will likely see sporadic playing time with too much of a volatile profile to garner any mixed-league relevance. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:16 pm

  • Connor Wong (paternity) expected back on Friday
    Red Sox’ manager Alex Cora said Wednesday that Connor Wong is expected to return from the paternity list on Friday.

    Advice: The hard-hitting backstop missed the first half of the week to attend the birth of his child, but expect him to be right back behind the dish for Friday’s series opener against the Padres. The 28-year-old backstop has been a force at the plate this season, slashing .330/.390/.480 with seven homers, 29 RBI and three stolen bases in 223 plate appearances.

  • Third homer of June
    Benintendi went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run Tuesday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Benintendi helped the White Sox get off to a hot start, as he delivered his home run in the first inning. He has been limited to 11 games in June due to an Achilles injury, but Benintendi has enjoyed a productive month by homering three times, driving in five and scoring five runs while also maintaining a .286 batting average. Despite the productive stretch, he still has just a .249 wOBA and 58 wRC+ across 233 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:23 pm
     
  • Brett Wisely finishes 2-for-4 in Giants’ victory
    Brett Wisely went 2-for-4 with a run scored from the leadoff spot in the Giants’ 5-1 defeat of the Cubs on Tuesday.

    Advice: Wisely’s second hit, a 403-foot double to left-center, would have been a homer in 29 of 30 ballparks and really a no-doubter in most of them. Oracle Park isn’t built that way, though. Wisely, who has turned into the Giants’ shortstop versus righties, is batting an impressive .301/.333/.441 in 99 plate appearances. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:43 pm

  • Benintendi homers as White Sox fall to Dodgers
    Andrew Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Dodgers



    Advice: Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the first after a leadoff homer by Shohei Ohtani, Benintendi put the White Sox on top when he smacked a two-run homer to deep right field to score Tommy Pham and give the White Sox a 2-1 lead. That lead didn’t prove to be enough, as the Dodgers bounced back courtesy of a two-run homer by Freddie Freeman and an RBI single by Ohtani. Benintendi is batting just .203 on the season with six home runs and 22 RBI. He’s well off the fantasy radar at this time. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:38 pm
     
  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Twins recalled Henriquez from Triple-A St. Paul on Tuesday.

    Advice: Henriquez tossed two scoreless frames in his lone appearance with the Twins earlier this season and boasts a 3.52 ERA and 37:10 K:BB across 38.1 innings with St. Paul. He's likely to be deployed in the middle of games. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:45 am
     
  • Twins recall Ronny Henriquez from Triple-A
    Twins recalled RHP Ronny Henriquez from Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: Henriquez, 24, will take the roster spot of Chris Paddack with Paddack placed on the injured list with right arm fatigue. The right-hander will be a fresh bullpen arm, but Minnesota will need to make another transaction to replace Paddack when his turn in the rotation comes up. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:33 am
     
  • Yency Almonte to seek second opinion on shoulder
    Yency Almonte is struggling to progress in his recovery from a shoulder strain and is going for another opinion on the injury.

    Advice: Almonte started throwing bullpens a couple of weeks ago, but his arm wasn’t responding as hoped and he’s been shut down again now. The right-hander has been sidelined since May 8 because of the injury. Rotoworld Monday, 5:57 pm
