  • Taking seat
    Soler is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Soler is hitless in his last 14 at-bats with four strikeouts and will get a day off Saturday to regroup. Trenton Brooks will be the Giants' designated hitter and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 2:49 pm
     
  • Records first steal Friday
    Andujar went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a loss to Atlanta on Friday.

    Advice: Andujar provided the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Athletics, who were mostly stymied by Reynaldo Lopez and three relievers. Andujar already has a trio of extra-base hits since making his delayed season debut May 24, and he's quickly cobbled together a .375 average and .943 OPS by hitting safely in five of his first six games of the campaign.

  • Steals 17th bag
    Young went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Atlanta.

    Advice: The 24-year-old center fielder has heated up again, batting .345 (10-for-29) over the last 10 games. Young remains limited as a fantasy asset -- he has yet to hit a homer this year and has a 4.5 percent walk rate -- but he tends to take full advantage when he does get on base. He's slashing .279/.338/.329 through 46 big-league games with 17 steals in 20 attempts, plus 14 RBI and 25 runs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:25 am

  • Matt Vierling will lead off for Tigers on Thursday
    Matt Vierling is leading off and playing right field for the Tigers on Thursday.

    Advice: Vierling continues to move around the field and hit in the top three spots in the lineup for the Tigers. The 27-year-old is hitting .312/.337/.610 in 22 games in May with five home runs and 21 RBI. He deserves to be picked up in most leagues while he’s hitting at the top of the lineup and swinging the bat this well. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:00 pm

  • Plates pair in multi-hit effort
    Andujar went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in a loss to the Rays on Wednesday.

    Advice: Andujar's torrid start after a delayed season debut continued in the one-run loss, with the multi-hit effort serving as his second in his first four starts. The veteran has already knocked in seven runs, carrying over the momentum he'd generated during a stellar spring training before suffering a knee injury. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:30 am
     
  • Two hits, stolen base in loss
    Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: Alvarez recorded a base hit in the top of the fourth before coming around to score Houston's only run of the contest on an RBI single from Jake Meyers. The outfielder would add another single in his next at-bat, giving him back-to-back multi-hit games, while also going on to swipe a bag for the second game in a row. Alvarez has now posted 10 multi-hit games this month and has nine extra-base hits in the stretch. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:22 am
     
  • Moves to field
    Langford started in left field and went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-1 win over Arizona.

    Advice: This was Langford's second game back from a stint on the injured list due to a hamstring injury. He played his first game in the field after returning as the DH on Tuesday. With Evan Carter (back) on the injured list, Langford is in line for near-everyday work in left field. Rotowire.com Thursday, 4:57 am
     
  • Miguel Andujar doubles, drives in two
    Miguel Andujar went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI on Wednesday against the Rays.

    Advice: Andujar has shown some impressive signs early since returning from a knee injury late in spring training. He’s already 6-for-17 since being activated and hitting clean-up for Oakland. He could be someone to watch in deeper leagues. Rotoworld Wednesday, 6:58 pm
     
  • Goes yard in both ends of twin bill
    Vierling went 4-for-8 with two home runs, three runs scored and five RBI across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Pirates.

    Advice: Getting the start in center field in the opener and at third base in the second contest, Vierling was locked in at the plate no matter where he was stationed on the diamond. The 27-year-old crushed a three-run homer off Jared Jones in the fifth inning of an 8-0 win to kick off the twin bill, then launched a solo shot off Paul Skenes in the sixth inning of a 10-2 loss later in the afternoon. Vierling has four long balls among eight hits over his last three games, boosting his slash line on the season to .289/.320/.503 with seven homers, 22 runs and 28 RBI. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:27 pm
