  • Idle against lefty
    Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: With lefty Framber Valdez on the hill for Houston, the lefty-hitting Soderstrom will retreat to the bench. Soderstrom appears to have settled into the strong side of a platoon at first base with the right-handed-hitting J.D. Davis, who will get the starting nod Wednesday.

  • Walks off Toronto
    Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a walk and a two-run homer in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: After Jordan Westburg led off the ninth with an infield hit, Rustchman launched a deep fly ball off Jordan Romano that just cleared the right-field fence, giving the Orioles a 3-2 walk-off victory. Rutschman's now homered in three straight games, totaling four long balls in that span. The 26-year-old backstop is slashing .314/.350/.509 with nine homers, 27 RBI and 24 runs scored through his first 40 games this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:20 pm
     
  • Sean Murphy (oblique) nearing rehab assignment
    Sean Murphy (oblique) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment next week.

    Advice: It’s been a very slow and methodical progression for Murphy, who was diagnosed with a Grade 1 oblique strain at the end of March. He should only need a couple of games in the minor leagues before he’s ready to return to the Braves’ lineup. If all goes well, it’s possible that he could be ready to return next weekend.

  • Moving to bench Wednesday
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Naylor will rest Wednesday after he was behind the plate for the first two games of the series, going 1-for-8 with a double, two RBI and a run scored between those contests. He'll cede catching duties to Austin Hedges in the series finale. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:57 pm
     
  • Heads to bench Wednesday
    Wells is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: With a .954 OPS in 11 games dating back to April 24, Wells is beginning to earn himself a larger portion of the work behind the plate, but he'll still be part of a timeshare with Jose Trevino. The Yankees will turn to Trevino to handle catching duties in Wednesday's contest, but expect Wells to return to the lineup for Thursday's series finale. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:54 pm
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Amaya is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Amaya will get a breather after he started at catcher in each of the past three games while going 1-for-9 at the dish. Yan Gomes will fill in for Amaya in Wednesday's series finale. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:45 pm
     
  • Korey Lee tallies three hits, steals base in win
    Korey Lee went 3-for-3 with an RBI and also stole a base on Wednesday, lifting the White Sox to a 2-0 win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Lee provided a key insurance run for the White Sox with a sixth-inning RBI single to center field off Nationals reliever Derek Law with two outs in the frame. The 25-year-old is quietly emerging as a reliable fantasy backstop in his first extended run with Chicago, batting .309 (25-for-81) with four homers and two steals through 29 games.

  • Returns to bench
    Jackson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Boston.

    Advice: Jackson had started at catcher in five of the past six games, but he went hitless with 11 strikeouts and one walk across 14 plate appearances during that stretch. Despite his hefty workload of late, Jackson still looks to be the No. 2 option at catcher behind Ben Rortvedt, who is back in the lineup Wednesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:21 pm
     
  • Adley Rutschman hits walkoff homer to down Jays
    Adley Rutschman hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to give the Orioles a 3-2 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

    Advice: It was a towering blast, but it traveled only 345 feet, and a fan interfered with the ball over the fence, though it was correctly decided that it would have been a homer anyway. Statcast said it would have left nine of the 30 ballparks. It was Rutschman’s second career walkoff homer. He has four homers in his last three games after totaling five in his first 37. His OPS has jumped from .781 to .859 as a result of those three games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:14 pm
