  • Swats solo shot Monday
    Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in Monday's 8-4 victory against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Smith padded the Dodgers' lead in the sixth inning with a 407-foot solo blast to center field. It was the backstop's second long ball in three games after he went deep just once over his first 23 contests of the campaign. Though he's been pretty quiet in the power department thus far, Smith is having an outstanding start to the season, slashing .363/.404/.539 with 22 RBI and 16 runs through 114 plate appearances.

  • Wins game with walk-off homer
    Garver went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday in a 2-1 win over Atlanta.

    Advice: It's been a rough season for Garver, as he's slashing just .150/.266/.313 through 94 plate appearances. However, Seattle has stuck with him as the team's primary DH, and that decision paid off Monday when he launched a two-run, ninth-inning shot to give the Mariners a come-from-behind win. Garver could be building a bit of momentum, as he's gone deep in two of his past four games. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
     
  • Out again Monday
    Stephenson (hand) didn't play in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Padres.

    Advice: Stephenson has now missed two consecutive matchups after being struck on the right hand by a pitch Saturday against the Rangers. Luke Maile drew the start behind the dish Monday and could continue to see playing time until Stephenson is cleared to return. Rotowire.com Today, 10:27 pm
     
  • Swats another homer
    Jansen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Jansen tagged Jonathan Bowlan for a solo homer in the third inning, marking the catcher's second home run in the last three games. After missing the first few weeks of the season with an injury, Jansen is slashing .269/.387/.615 with a 12.9 percent strikeout rate in 31 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 10:25 pm
     
  • Delivers first homer of 2024
    Fermin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Fermin started behind the dish due to Salvador Perez getting the day off. Fermin notched his second multi-hit game of the campaign and his eighth-inning solo home run off Erik Swanson marked Fermin's 10th career long ball. In 47 plate appearances, Fermin is slashing .227/.277/.318 and is striking out at a 10.6 percent clip. Rotowire.com Today, 10:22 pm
     
  • Mitch Garver hits walk-off homer to beat Atlanta
    Mitch Garver hit a walk-off two-run homer to give Seattle a 2-1 win over Atlanta on Monday.

    Advice: Garver has easily his biggest hit as a member of the Mariners. The 33-year-old DH took a 3-2 offering from AJ Minter deep into the left-field stands with the team trailing by a run in the bottom of the ninth to give Seattle an improbable victory. Garver has been awful in 2024 with a .150 average, but it didn’t matter tonight. It likely won’t matter as long as he can stay healthy; the offensive track-record suggests more good things are coming. Rotoworld Today, 9:15 pm
     
  • J.T. Realmuto not starting Sunday vs. Angels
    J.T. Realmuto is not in the lineup against the Angels on Monday.

    Advice: Realmuto gets a rest after hitting a homer and picking up three RBI Sunday against the Padres. Garrett Stubbs will start and hit eighth while Realmuto gets a chance to rest. Rotoworld Today, 3:07 pm
     
  • Beginning on bench Monday
    Trevino is not in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup against Baltimore.

    Advice: Trevino had a big game in New York's 15-5 rout of the Brewers on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a run and three RBI. However, he's ceding the start behind the plate to Austin Wells on Monday. Trevino has put up far better offensive numbers this season, but Wells continues to get slightly more playing time -- over New York's past eight games, Wells has started behind the plate on five occasions while Trevino has gotten three starts.

  • Scratched with back tightness
    Perez was scratched from Monday's lineup versus the Blue Jays due to back tightness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Perez had been slated to catch and bat cleanup, but now Freddy Fermin will be behind the plate and Nelson Velazquez will move up to the cleanup spot. Consider Perez day-to-day. Rotowire.com Today, 2:32 pm
