  • Sitting Thursday
    Bohm isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Thursday's game against Boston.

    Advice: Bohm will get a breather Thursday after going 3-for-19 with two RBI in his last five games, allowing Whit Merrifield to start at the hot corner while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:06 pm
     
  • Tallies three hits Wednesday
    Arenado went 3-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in a 4-2 win against the Pirates on Wednesday.

    Advice: Among Arenado's three hits was a third-inning RBI double that was St. Louis' only extra-base hit of the contest. The veteran third baseman batted .167 over his first seven contests in June but has perked up since, putting together a four-game hitting streak during which he has gone 8-for-16. The hot stretch has improved his season slash line to .264/.320/.386. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:00 pm
     
  • Moving into reserve role
    Newman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: He'll sit for the second day in a row and looks set to see a steep reduction in playing time moving forward after the Diamondbacks brought back top shortstop Geraldo Perdomo from the injured list Tuesday. Newman joined the Diamondbacks in the second week of the season following Perdomo's placement on the IL and hit .266 with two home runs and two stolen bases over 49 games.

  • Homer, three hits in win
    Lewis went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 17-9 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Lewis made his presence felt in Minnesota's 24-hit outburst -- he was one of eight Twins to record two or more hits, including a two-run homer off Angel Chivilli to extend the lead to 10-3. Since returning from a 10-week stint on the IL with a quad injury, Lewis has gone 9-for-28 (.321) with four homers and seven RBI across eight games. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:41 pm
     
  • Cavan Biggio starts at third base in Dodgers debut
    Cavan Biggio will start at third base and bat ninth in his Dodgers’ debut against the Rangers on Wednesday evening.

    Advice: It looks like Biggio could see strong-side platoon at-bats at third base — at least until Max Muncy returns from the injured list — as well as being utilized all over the diamond as a super-utility option. The 29-year-old was hitting a miserable .200/.323/.291 with a pair of homers in 131 plate appearances with the Blue Jays this season before getting designated for assignment and ultimately flipped to the Dodgers.

  • Sitting Wednesday
    Hernandez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Hernandez will sit for the second consecutive contest after starting the previous four games at third base. The 32-year-old has a .591 OPS in 155 plate appearances this season, and the acquisition of Cavan Biggio -- who is starting at the hot corner Wednesday -- could result in a reduced role for Hernandez.

  • Making Dodgers debut at third base
    Biggio is starting at third base and batting ninth Wednesday against the Rangers.

    Advice: The 29-year-old was officially acquired from Toronto earlier Wednesday and will immediately step into the starting nine for Los Angeles. Biggio struggled in 130 plate appearances for the Blue Jays this season with a .200/.323/.291 slash line and 32.3 percent strikeout rate, but he could see semi-regular playing time at the hot corner while Max Muncy (oblique) is sidelined. Enrique Hernandez has been operating as the Dodgers' primary third baseman but is on the bench Wednesday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:17 pm

  • Royce Lewis stays hot with fifth homer on Wednesday
    Royce Lewis went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer on Wednesday in the Twins’ blowout win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Lewis took Rockies reliever Angel Chivilli deep for a 424-foot dinger in the sixth inning for his fifth long ball of the year. The 25-year-old burgeoning slugger has launched four homers in eight games since returning from the injured list back on June 4. He has fantasy superstar potential, if he can somehow manage to stay on the field and avoid the injuries that have plagued him the last few years. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:04 pm
     
  • Gets first day off since call-up
    Malloy is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Malloy had started at designated hitter or in left field in each of the Tigers' seven games since his June 3 call-up, going 3-for-19 with a home run and a 5:8 BB:K. Though his .636 OPS thus far in his MLB career isn't anything special, the Tigers likely aren't ready to pull the plug on Malloy as an everyday player just yet. With Malloy on the bench Wednesday, the Tigers will give Riley Greene a day off in the outfield and have him serve as the team's DH. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:20 pm
