  • Not starting Tuesday
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in an interview on Jomboy Media's "Talkin' Yanks" podcast that Trevino will not be in the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Angels.

    Advice: He's started 12 games to Austin Wells' 13 starts at catcher this month, although Wells' start Tuesday will be his fifth in the last seven contests. Wells also holds a slight edge on playing time overall this season, with 30 starts to Trevino's 26 starts. Rotowire.com Today, 10:08 am
     
  • Looking good in batting practice
    Alvarez (thumb) was reaching exit velocities over 100 miles per hour during batting practice over the weekend, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The 22-year-old catcher is still wearing a splint on his surgically repaired thumb, however, and the Mets aren't going to rush him back from the 10-day injured list. The team may also use his recovery period to have him work on his positioning behind the plate, as Alvarez has a tendency to be overeager reaching for pitches and is susceptible to getting his glove hand smacked by a swing. Alvarez was batting .236 (13-for-55) with one home run and eight RBI through 16 games when he was injured in mid-April. Rotowire.com Today, 7:43 am

  • Drives in run in return
    Murphy went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Monday's loss to the Nationals.

    Advice: Seeing his first MLB action since Opening Day, Murphy hit fifth in the order and brought home Marcell Ozuna with a groundout in the seventh inning. With Ronald Acuna (knee) lost for the season, Atlanta needs Murphy to quickly regain the form that saw him set career highs with 21 homers and an .843 OPS in 2023. Rotowire.com Today, 6:45 am
     
  • Bailey has two-hit game against the Phillies Monday
    Patrick Bailey went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI against the Phillies on Monday.



    Advice: Bailey continues his hot hitting. He’s now 10-for-25 (.400) with six runs and nine RBI over his last eight games. The catcher is up to .308 with a .846 OPS on the season. Bailey is well worth using in two-catcher formats at this point.

  • Absent from lineup
    Diaz is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest in Seattle.

    Advice: Victor Caratini will do the catching for Framber Valdez. Diaz -- who had started the last three games and five of the last six -- has just a .501 OPS in May. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:10 pm

  • Moving rehab up to Triple-A
    Delay (knee) has been transferred to Triple-A Indianapolis to continue his rehab assignment, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Delay had been at Single-A Bradenton, where he was hitless with one walk in his lone game. The 29-year-old is coming back from meniscus surgery on his right knee and could be need by the big club, depending on the status of Joey Bart (thumb). Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:57 pm

  • MJ Melendez singles in Royals’ loss to Twins
    MJ Melendez went 1-for-3 with a single on Monday in the Royals’ loss to the Twins.

    Advice: It’s been a struggle this season at the dish for Melendez as he’s batting just .179 (27-for-151) with four homers and two steals through 47 games. Perhaps the biggest concern here is that he hasn’t connected for a home run since back on April 19. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:41 pm
     
  • Adley Rutschman plates two in O’s victory
    Adley Rutschman went 1-for-4 with a pair of RBI on Monday in the Orioles’ lopsided win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Rutschman has been overshadowed a bit by the surreal exploits of Milwaukee’s burgeoning superstar, William Contreras, but he remains in the mix as one of the premier backstops in the fantasy landscape. The 26-year-old franchise cornerstone delivered an RBI sacrifice fly in the third inning before adding an RBI double in the seventh inning of Monday afternoon’s one-sided affair at Fenway Park. He’s hitting .300 (62-for-207) with 10 homers, 37 RBI and one steal across 50 contests. That’ll work. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:42 pm
     
  • Slugs homer Sunday
    Thaiss went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in Sunday's loss to Cleveland.

    Advice: Thaiss made the most of just his second start behind the plate over the past week, walloping a 446-foot two-run shot in the fifth inning for his first homer of the campaign. The veteran is firmly behind 24-year-old backstop Logan O'Hoppe on the catching depth chart -- Thaiss has only 46 plate appearances on the season to O'Hoppe's 172. When he has played, Thaiss has mostly struggled, slashing .200/.304/.350 with a 32.6 percent strikeout rate. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:31 am
