  • Getting start in right field
    Wisdom will start in right field and bat second in Friday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Fresh off the injured list, the right-handed hitting Wisdom will be thrown right into the mix against left-hander A.J. Puk. Most of the 32-year-old's playing time figures to come against southpaws. Wisdom has a career .813 OPS versus lefties. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • Braves option Forrest Wall to Triple-A
    Braves optioned OF Forrest Wall to Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: The 28-year-old will head down to the minors with the team bringing in Luke Williams. Wall’s only plate appearance with the Braves this season was a groundout during a 16-4 blowout loss to the Mets. He’ll join Triple-A Gwinnett where he slashed .280/.372/.427 with 43 RBI and 52 stolen bases last season. Rotoworld Today, 7:32 am
     
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    Wall was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Friday.

    Advice: Wall has been on Atlanta's roster since Opening Day but didn't make a start and received just one plate appearance. He's being replaced on the roster by Luke Williams, who offers some more defensive versatility. Rotowire.com Today, 7:13 am
     
  • Enters as pinch hitter
    Refsnyder entered Thursday's game as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 in a 5-4 loss to Cleveland.

    Advice: Refsnyder pinch hit for second baseman Enmanuel Valdez and stayed in the game to play left field. It was the season debut for Refsnyder, who opened the year on the 10-day injured list due to a toe injury. He was activated to take the roster spot of Tyler O'Neill, who landed on the 7-day concussion list. Refsnyder will likely be in the starting nine whenever the Red Sox face a left-hander.

  • Starts at third base
    Reyes started at third base and went 0-for-4 in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Cleveland.

    Advice: Reyes filled in for the injured Rafael Devers (knee) and committed a costly error that allowed one of three unearned runs to score. Reyes also couldn't get a ball out of his glove quick enough to start a 5-4-3 double, which scored another run. Per Ian Browne of MLB.com, the Red Sox are hoping to avoid having to put Devers on the injured list, which suggests a fill-in need for more than just Thursday's contest. Reyes and Bobby Dalbec are the primary candidates to play third base should Devers need an stint on the IL. Rotowire.com Today, 6:55 am
     
  • Drives in two
    Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with two runs batted in during Thursday's 5-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Yastrzemski stepped into the batter's box in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and delivered a two-RBI single off Kyle Nelson. It was just his second game of 2024 with an RBI as the outfielder has crawled to a .135/.238/.135 slash line through 14 games. He seems to be turning the corner on his sluggish start, going 4-for-17 (.235) over his last six appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 6:20 am
     
  • Makes rare start
    Peterson started at shortstop and went 0-for-3 in Thursday's 5-0 loss to the Giants.

    Advice: Peterson, who extended a hitless run to 18 at-bats, made just his fourth start of the season. The lack of opportunities may explain his .045 batting average. At the time of shortstop Geraldo Perdomo's knee injury earlier this month, the lefty-hitting Peterson was in position to fill a strong side of a platoon but that never materialized. Both Kevin Newman and Blaze Alexander continue to get work against right-handers. Rotowire.com Today, 5:58 am
