  • Trea Turner a triple short of a cycle Wednesday
    Trea Turner went 3-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored on Wednesday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Turner followed Kyle Schwarber’s first-inning leadoff homer with one of his own, taking Ryan Feltner deep for his second home run of the season. He added a base hit in the second inning and doubled to lead off the fifth before scoring on a groundout. The 30-year-old shortstop is slashing .333/.390/.493 with the pair of homers, four steals, and 12 runs scored across 82 plate appearances. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago

  • Ezequiel Tovar collects three hits versus Phillies
    Ezequiel Tovar went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI on Wednesday against the Phillies.

    Advice: Tovar came into this one with just one hit over his last four games. He broke through with a three-hit day, getting on base with a single in the first inning before scoring on a groundout. He had to more base hits in the game, including a two-run single in the eighth to make it a one-run game. The 22-year-old shortstop is batting .306/.363/.486 with three homers and two steals across 80 plate appearances. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Elly De La Cruz homers again in loss to D’Backs
    Elly De La Cruz clobbered his fifth home run of the season on Wednesday, accounting for the entirety of the Reds’ offense in a loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: The dynamic 22-year-old victimized Mariners’ right-hander Bryce Miller for his 391-foot (103.8 mph EV) solo shot in the second inning to give the Reds an early 1-0 advantage. It would be short-lived. De La Cruz struck out in each of his other two plate appearances on the day, finishing the afternoon 1-for-3. For the season, the budding superstar is now hitting .277/.356/.600 to go along with five homers, 11 RBI and seven stolen bases through his first 18 games. Rotoworld Today, 4:18 pm
     
  • Rewarded with fifth straight start
    Arias will start in center field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: After making just four starts in the Guardians' first 13 games, Arias now finds himself in the lineup for a fifth straight contest. Though he doesn't have a direct path to a starting role at any one spot while the Guardians are seemingly committed to Brayan Rocchio as their primary shortstop, Arias has made it tough for manager Stephen Vogt to take him out of the lineup while he's wielding a hot bat. Over his last four games, Arias has gone 8-for-16 with five extra-base hits (three doubles, one triple and one home run) and one walk. Rotowire.com Today, 2:46 pm

  • Resting Wednesday
    Freeman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Freeman started each of the past three games in center field while going 2-for-10 with a home run and a double across those contests. He'll give way to Gabriel Arias on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:36 pm

  • CJ Abrams blasts fifth homer, Nats edge Dodgers
    CJ Abrams belted a leadoff homer on Wednesday, propelling the Nationals to a 2-0 victory over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Abrams welcomed Dodgers rookie Logan Knack to the majors with a 392-foot leadoff blast to right-center field. The 23-year-old rapidly emerging five-category fantasy superstar has gone deep in two of his last three games. He’s batting .295 (18-for-60) with 10 runs scored, five homers, 11 RBI and three steals through 15 contests. Rotoworld Today, 2:32 pm

  • Josh Smith’s pinch-hit double leads Rangers
    Pinch-hitter Josh Smith doubled in Ezequiel Duran in the top of the ninth as the Rangers edged the Tigers 5-4 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Davis Wendzel got the nod over Smith at third base against a lefty today, but after going 0-for-3 — leaving him 0-for-8 to start his big-league career — the Rangers turned to Smith a chance in the ninth and he took advantage of it with a double to the gap off Shelby Miller. Smith is batting .319/.418/.404 in 55 at-bats (raising his career average from .191 to .204), and he’ll continue to get plenty of time at third while Josh Jung is out. Rotoworld Today, 2:24 pm

  • Gets breather for Game 2
    Garcia isn't in the Royals' lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the White Sox, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Garcia turned in an 0-for-4 performance during Wednesday's early game, so he'll remain in the dugout for the nightcap. Nick Loftin will fill in at the hot corner and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:13 pm

  • Shifts to 60-day IL
    The Guardians transferred Martinez (foot) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday due to a fractured hamate bone in his left hand, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Martinez opened the season on the IL with what the Guardians listed as a right foot contusion, but he appears to have been diagnosed with the broken hand upon being lifted early in his third rehab game with Triple-A Columbus this past Saturday. As a result of the move to the 60-day IL, Martinez won't be eligible for activation until late May. Martinez has two minor-league options remaining and is likely to be assigned to Columbus once he completes a rehab assignment and is ready for activation. Rotowire.com Today, 1:52 pm
