  • First big-league run
    DeLoach went 0-for-2 with two walks and a run scored Saturday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: DeLoach was recalled to the majors Tuesday and Saturday marked his second start since. He recorded his first big-league hit Thursday against the Red Sox and reached another milestone Saturday with his first run scored. Even with a number of injuries in the White Sox's outfield, DeLoach is likely to continue to see only sporadic playing time. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

  • First start since activation
    Taylor went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base Saturday against the Twins.

    Advice: Taylor was away from the team from Tuesday to Thursday while on paternity leave, with Saturday marking his first start since being activated. It was a productive effort, but he figures to serve in a short-side platoon role behind Jack Suwinski in center field. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Homers in Saturday's win
    Kwan went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run, two walks and two total runs scored in Saturday's 8-0 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Kwan has received fairly regular rest since returning from a hamstring injury, but he's been money when in the lineup. Over five games since his return, he's gone 9-for-18 (.500) with three RBI and eight runs scored. The outfielder is up to a .371/.431/.523 slash line with four homers, 14 RBI, 36 runs scored and three stolen bases across 37 contests this season. Kwan is likely to remain cautious on the basepaths given his history of hamstring injuries, but it's his bat-to-ball skills that drive his production. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Feeling better, could hit Sunday
    Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Soto (forearm) will "probably" take swings Sunday, Jorge Castillo of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Boone said earlier Saturday that it would likely be a few more days before Soto would re-enter the Yankees' lineup. On top of being a candidate to hit Sunday, Soto went through a significant amount of his pregame prep Saturday, per Brendan Kuty of The Athletic, which is yet another encouraging sign for Soto after the injury scare Thursday. While the Yankees will almost certainly err on the side of caution with the three-time All-Star, pressure could be mounting for Soto to return after dropping two straight to the Dodgers and having the division lead slimmed to 2.5 games.

  • Two hits, stolen base in loss
    Bellinger went 2-for-5 with a run and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Bellinger reached on a two-out single in the first inning, and he then stole second and came around to score on a Dansby Swanson double. It was just Bellinger's third stolen base of the season after he swiped a career-best 20 bags last season. The 28-year-old is heating up at the dish with seven multi-hit efforts over his last 14 games, and he's accounted for all three of his steals over that stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 6:57 pm
     
  • Blasts third homer, steals base
    Friedl went 1-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Friedl drove in three of the Reds' four runs on a two-run homer off Ben Brown in the third and an RBI groundout in the fifth. Friedl reached base again on a walk in the eighth and added his fifth stolen base of the season. The 28-year-old has struggled to stay healthy this season, but he's now started in 10 straight games since his latest IL stint. The center fielder has three homers, 13 RBI and five stolen bases in just 16 games this year. Rotowire.com Today, 6:25 pm
     
  • Belts first career slam
    Sheets went 3-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: The 28-year-old slugger took Brayan Bello deep in the fifth inning, breaking a 1-1 tie and giving Sheets the first grand slam of his career. He's gone yard in back-to-back games and has four of his seven homers this season in the last 11 contests, a stretch in which Sheets is batting .282 (11-for-39) with 10 RBI.

  • Pilfers two bags in loss
    Duran went 0-for-3 with two walks and two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: The 27-year-old did his job as the leadoff man, but the hitters in the three spots behind him in the order went a combined 0-for-11 on the afternoon. Duran came into this series in Chicago having failed to steal a bag in 14 straight games, but he's swiped three in the last two contests to give him 14 on the season. He's also slashing .263/.331/.451 on the year with five homers, 27 RBI and 39 runs in 65 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 6:06 pm
     
  • Swats ninth homer
    O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 win against the Rays.

    Advice: O'Hearn produced Baltimore's only run against opposing starter Taj Bradley, belting a solo homer to right field in the fourth inning. After Bradley departed, O'Hearn scored his team's second run when he singled and stole second base in the eighth frame before coming home on a Jordan Westburg triple. O'Hearn has homered twice in his past three games and is up to nine long balls on the campaign, putting him well on pace to surpass his career high of 14 homers, which he established in 2019 and tied last season.
