• Andrew Vaughn homers again in rout of D-Backs
    Andrew Vaughn went 2-for-5 with a homer and three RBI Saturday in a win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: It’s been a fantastic June for Vaughn, even with the White Sox playing at an absolutely abhorrent level. The 26-year-old hit a two-run blast off Bryce Jarvis in the fifth, and the first baseman drove in another run with a single two innings earlier. Vaughn ended May with a .577 OPS, and the current slash of .227/.283/.386 helps tell the story of how good he’s been since. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:08 pm
  • Late addition to lineup
    Montero will play first base and bat cleanup Saturday against Pittsburgh, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: Brenton Doyle (knee) was scratched from the lineup Saturday, and as a result Jake Cave will move to center field as Michael Toglia moves to right, opening up first base for Montero. Montero has just two hits in his last 23 at-bats and owns a .546 OPS on the year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:03 pm

  • Sitting against LHP
    Tellez is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Colorado.

    Advice: Tellez will dodge a matchup with southpaw Ty Blach on Saturday, yielding to Connor Joe at first base. After a slow start to 2024, Tellez has come to life in June, hitting .385 with three extra-base hits and seven RBI in nine games played. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:26 pm
     
  • Idle Saturday
    Sheets is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against Arizona.

    Advice: Sheets will get a day to recoup after going hitless in his last 15 at-bats. Korey Lee will shift to DH while Martin Maldonado fills in behind the dish. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:11 pm
     
  • Sitting versus southpaw
    Brooks is not in the starting lineup against the Angels on Saturday.

    Advice: Brooks will remain on the bench for a third consecutive game as the Giants face another left-hander (Patrick Sandoval) on the mound. Wilmer Flores will draw another start at first base and bat third versus Los Angeles. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:08 am
     
  • Alec Bohm delivers decisive two-run double
    Alec Bohm went 3-for-5 with double and two RBI on Friday in the Phillies’ dramatic 5-3 win over the Orioles.

    Advice: Bohm’s eleventh inning double put a stamp on what was maybe the game of the year so far with the Orioles and Phillies going back and forth all night with a long rain delay in between. It was his third hit of the night and second batted ball over 100 MPH. He continues to be a force in the middle of the Phillies’ lineup. Rotoworld Friday, 8:53 pm

  • Serving as DH on Friday
    Montero is starting as the designated hitter and batting eighth for Friday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Montero was initially slated to begin Friday's game on the bench, but he was inserted into the starting lineup after Jake Cave (undisclosed) was hit in the head by a line drive during batting practice. Montero will face off against Pirates opener Carmen Mlodzinski. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:18 pm

  • Not starting versus LHP
    Brooks isn't in the Giants' lineup for Friday's game against the Angels, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Brooks will take a seat Friday as lefty Tyler Anderson toes the slab for the Angels. Wilmer Flores will get the nod at first base while batting fifth. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:16 pm
     
  • Notches first big-league homer
    Locklear went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in an extra-inning loss to the White Sox on Thursday.

    Advice: Garrett Crochet dominated Seattle with 13 punchouts over seven frames, and Locklear accounted for the only run against the hurler with a solo blast in the fifth inning. The long ball was Locklear's first as a major-leaguer and just his second extra-base hit of any type. Locklear has started four of five games since being called up June 9 and has hit .250 (4-for-16) with two runs and two RBI. He's struggled to make contact with a 35.3 percent strikeout rate thus far, and he could head back to the minors when Ty France (heel) is cleared to return, which could happen early next week.
