  • Gio Urshela starts rehab assignment on Thursday
    Gio Urshela (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A Toledo.

    Advice: Urshela has been on the shelf since late April due to a right hamstring strain. The 32-year-old veteran corner infielder will likely need a handful of rehab contests to ramp up before returning to Detroit’s lineup. Rotoworld Today, 2:17 pm

  • Jeimer Candelario swats solo homer in loss
    Jeimer Candelario hit a solo homer Thursday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Candelario got the Reds on the board with a solo blast off Slade Cecconi in the fifth inning. The 30-year-old has driven in just 12 runs over 36 games in 2024, and the homer is the fourth of the year. Better things should be ahead for Candelario in the coming months, if not sooner.

  • Paul Goldschmidt getting night off on Thursday
    Paul Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Thursday’s showdown against the Brewers.

    Advice: Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol is giving Goldschmidt another night off as he attempt to break out of an early-season slump at the dish. The 36-year-old veteran slugger is batting just .195 (26-for-133) with two homers, 11 RBI and one steal in 152 plate appearances over 35 contests. Rotoworld Today, 1:26 pm
     
  • Not in lineup Thursday
    Goldschmidt is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Milwaukee.

    Advice: Goldschmidt had been slated to sit out Wednesday versus the Mets before that game was rained out, and he is again absent from the lineup card a day later. The 36-year-old is hitless so far in six contests this month. Alec Burleson will fill in for Goldschmidt at first base Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:23 pm
     
  • Goes deep Wednesday
    Mountcastle went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Mountcastle is hitting .226 (7-for-31) over seven games in May, but four of those hits have gone for extra bases. He gave the Orioles a brief lead in the 11th inning of Wednesday's contest. The first baseman is slashing .277/.324/.485 with six long balls, 18 RBI, 20 runs scored, nine doubles and two stolen bases over 142 plate appearances. Mountcastle continues to hit well from the heart of the order in an everyday role. Rotowire.com Today, 10:17 am
     
  • Lifts homer in win
    Santander went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Santander is hitting just .227 over seven games in May and batting .215 on the year, but he has a homer in two of his last three contests. The outfielder has added a .737 OPS through 35 games this season, though that's still a decent margin behind last year's .797 mark. Santander is up to six homers, 24 RBI, 18 runs scored, nine doubles, one triple and no steals through 147 plate appearances while holding down a starting role in right field.

  • Hits game-tying homer
    Fry went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Fry went yard in the ninth inning off Andrew Chafin to tie the game at 4-4. This was Fry's second homer of the season. The versatile 28-year-old is batting .364 (8-for-22) over his last eight games. His ability to catch, play in the corner outfield and fill in at first base gives him multiple paths to playing time, and that versatility figures to be even more important as the Guardians weigh their options for left field with Steven Kwan (hamstring) out for likely four weeks. Fry is slashing .316/.438/.491 with two homers, one stolen base, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and four doubles over 73 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 10:07 am

  • Three hits in Wednesday's win
    Guerrero went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

    Advice: All three hits were singles, but two of them had exit velocities over 113 mph. Guerrero appears to be heating up, batting .350 (14-for-40) over the last 10 games with three doubles and a homer, but his .246/.344/.373 slash line on the season remains disappointing, Rotowire.com Today, 8:07 am
     
  • Not in Thursday's lineup
    France is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest in Minnesota.

    Advice: France is just 1-for-11 with seven strikeouts over his last three games, so he'll get a day off to regroup. Luke Raley will make just his third start of the season at first base while France sits. Rotowire.com Today, 7:40 am
