  • Starts at first base, bats third
    Miranda will start at first base and bat third in Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Miranda has been the Twins' primary third baseman for the last few weeks, but that position will be unavailable most days now with Royce Lewis back from the injured list. However, it would appear to be a good sign for Miranda that he remains in the lineup in a prominent spot with Lewis back in the fold. Miranda has an .883 OPS with four home runs over his last 50 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Vladdy Jr. playing third base again Tuesday
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is hitting third and playing third base Tuesday against the Orioles.

    Advice: That will make two of three games that Guerrero Jr. is playing third base. The infielder has been swinging the bat better as of late, and Toronto is giving him a chance to handle the hot corner. Justin Turner is playing first base and Daniel Vogelbach will operate as the designated hitter while hitting fourth. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Back up to bigs
    The Astros called up Cabbage on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Cabbage will see his second stint with Houston in 2024 and will likely provide some added depth in the outfield with Kyle Tucker (lower leg) nursing a minor injury. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Pushed off MLB roster
    Kessinger was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Kessinger hasn't logged an at-bat since May 11 while operating as a reserve infielder for the Astros. Trey Cabbage will take Kessinger's spot on the 26-man roster. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago

  • Removed from 40-man roster
    The Mariners removed Urias from the 40-man roster and outrighted him to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

    Advice: The 27-year-old was optioned to Tacoma in late May and has now lost his place on the 40-man roster to make room for the signing of Victor Robles. Urias struggled in 34 games for the Mariners, posting a .152/.264/.316 slash line and 34.1 percent strikeout rate in 91 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 11:20 am

  • Mariners send Luis Urías outright to Triple-A
    Mariners sent INF Luis Urías outright to Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: Urías, 27, is now off the 40-man roster. The Mariners used that room to clear a spot for Victor Robles, with Robles signed to a one-year deal following his release from the Nationals. Assuming Urías accepts the assignment, he’ll remain with the Rainiers and provide organizational depth. Rotoworld Today, 11:14 am

  • Notches steal in win
    O'Hearn went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: O'Hearn's steal was his first of the season, as the 30-year-old is not typically known for his speed. He has been fairly steady at the plate, going 9-for-33 (.273) with two extra-base hits over his last nine games. O'Hearn is at a .270/.335/.447 slash line with seven home runs, 18 RBI and 21 runs scored over 167 plate appearances. He continues to play in a strong-side platoon role, mainly as the Orioles' designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 10:07 am

  • Records sixth steal
    Westburg went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Westburg has hit safely in his last eight games, going 12-for-31 (.387) in that span. The steal was his first since May 11 and his sixth on nine attempts this season. It's unlikely Westburg will be negatively impacted by the Orioles' promotion of Connor Norby to replace Jorge Mateo (concussion) on the 26-man roster -- Westburg should continue to see near-everyday playing time between third base and second base. The 25-year-old is slashing .292/.348/.510 with nine home runs, 36 RBI and 30 runs scored over 222 plate appearances as he enjoys a breakout in his second major-league campaign.

  • Hits third homer
    Urias hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat in Monday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Urias started the game on the bench but entered in the seventh inning as a defensive replacement. While he hasn't seen steady playing time, Urias is 6-for-10 with two homers over his last five contests. With Jorge Mateo (concussion) on the injured list, it's likely to be Connor Norby in the lineup regularly, but Urias could feature more frequently off the bench due to his strong defense and versatility. Urias is slashing .239/.289/.394 with three homers, six RBI and 12 runs scored over 76 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 9:58 am
