  • Spencer Steer goes 0-for-3 in loss to Dodgers
    Spencer Steer went 0-for-3 with a strikeout on Saturday in the Reds’ shutout loss at the hands of the Dodgers.

    Advice: It’s probably too early to panic, but Steer is batting just .165 (18-for-109) with one homer and eight steals over his last 30 games. The 26-year-old’s plate skills remain solid and his underlying Statcast batted ball metrics point, to some regression on the way. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago

  • Nearing return
    Jones (back) is expected to be recalled from his rehab assignment following Sunday's game with Triple-A Albuquerque, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Jones has appeared in three games with Albuquerque, starting twice in left field and once at designated hitter. He's lined up for a fourth appearance Sunday and will rejoin the big-league club as it travels to Oakland. Assuming all goes according to plan, it appears that Jones will be activated for the first game of the series on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:43 pm

  • Tuesday return likely
    Bryant (back) will remain with Triple-A Albuquerque on a rehab assignment through Sunday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bryant has appeared in four games with Albuquerque, appearing twice at first base, once in right field and once at designated hitter. He's expected to play a final game with the team Sunday before meeting up with the big-league club Tuesday in Oakland. The Rockies haven't made their intentions official, but it's expected that he'll be back in the lineup the same day. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:40 pm

  • First appearance as catcher
    Goodman went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Giants.

    Advice: Goodman has primarily been a bench bat for Colorado since being promoted April 24, though he made his first career start and appearance at catcher in Saturday's game. Elias Diaz (hand) remains out, which is giving Goodman the opportunity to back up Jacob Stallings. The injury to Diaz isn't projected to keep him out in the long term so Goodman may not have enough time to gain catcher eligibility, though he would become an intriguing option behind the dish if Diaz remains sidelined longer than anticipated.

  • Three hits out of leadoff spot
    Soler went 3-for-5 with two doubles, two RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 14-4 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: This was the second game in a row Soler's hit leadoff, though the Giants may try any number of players there to replace Jung Hoo Lee (shoulder). Soler has gone 4-for-9 with a walk over two games since he came off the injured list. The 32-year-old is slashing .219/.308/.383 with five home runs, 10 RBI, 16 runs scored and six doubles over 146 plate appearances. If he sticks at leadoff, Soler's RBI production could dip, though he may score more often if he can get on base at a healthy clip. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:26 pm
     
  • Collects three hits in loss
    Meyers went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: Meyers was the only Astro with multiple hits in the contest, and his fifth-inning solo homer plated one of the team's two runs. The outfielder has gone deep in back-to-back games and has gone 6-for-10 with four RBI over his past three contests. Meyers hit a career-high 10 long balls last season and is already halfway to that mark with five homers through 102 plate appearances this year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:09 pm
     
  • Third straight game with homer
    Ward went 2-for-6 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to the Rangers.

    Advice: Ward was the only Angel with multiple hits in the 13-inning marathon. He's logged three straight multi-hit games, swatting a homer in each of them to reach 10 long balls on the year. The outfielder is slashing .275/.320/.494 with 28 RBI, 27 runs scored, nine doubles and two stolen bases over 45 contests. Ward continues to hold down a near-everyday role in left field as one of the more productive players on the Angels' roster. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:05 pm
     
  • Productive in extra-innings loss
    Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-2 extra-innings loss to the Rangers.

    Advice: Adell has gone 9-for-36 (.250) with four homers, nine RBI and one steal over his last 10 contests. The outfielder is up to eight homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored, eight steals, four doubles, a triple and a .250/.320/.528 slash line through 122 plate appearances. Adell has had some brief successful stints in previous years, but he's finally sticking in a full-time role in right field in 2024 since the Angels have few better options available.

  • Clubs homer Saturday
    Garcia went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-2 extra-innings win over the Angels.

    Advice: This was Garcia's third homer in his last four games and his 11th long ball of the campaign. The outfielder is hitting just .190 (8-for-42) over his last 10 contests, but five of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. He's slashing .251/.297/.491 with 35 RBI, 24 runs scored, four stolen bases and nine doubles through 46 games as the Rangers' usual cleanup hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:50 pm
