  • Yandy Díaz triples, drives in three in loss
    Yandy Díaz went 1-for-4 with a triple and three RBI against the Orioles on Saturday.

    Advice: Díaz brought two runs in to score with a line drive off the right field wall as he legged out a triple in the second inning. He was credited with a third RBI after drawing a bases-loaded walk in the third. The 32-year-old first baseman is slashing .243/.320/.350 with four homers and 28 RBI across 253 plate appearances.

  • Yandy Diaz moves down to second spot vs. A’s
    Yandy Diaz is hitting second and playing first base versus the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Advice: Diaz has 231 plate appearances thus far in 2024, and 223 of those have come in the leadoff spot. He’s hit just .254 with a .686 from that spot, however, so Tampa Bay will move the 32-year-old down a spot in the lineup. Richie Palacios is leading off and playing right field against Mitch Spence and the A’s on Tuesday. Rotoworld Tuesday, 12:16 pm
     
  • Lands on IL with hamstring strain
    The Mariners placed Polanco on the 10-day injured list Monday due to a right hamstring strain.

    Advice: Polanco was replaced by Josh Rojas in the sixth inning of Sunday's 9-5 win over the Nationals, with the former going 1-for-2 with an RBI before exiting. Polanco missed seven games earlier in May due to a right hamstring issue, and the 30-year-old will spend time on the injured list this time around. General manager Justin Hollander said Monday that while Polanco has not yet undergone an MRI, he is not expected to be sidelined long, per Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM. The Mariners selected Ryan Bliss from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move, and he will start at second base Monday and bat eighth against Astros southpaw Framber Valdez.

  • Jorge Polanco (hamstring) goes on IL for Mariners
    Mariners placed INF Jorge Polanco on the 10-day injured list with a strained right hamstring.

    Advice: Polanco aggravated the hamstring Sunday in his fifth appearance back after an eight-day absence due to the same injury. He’s hitting just .195/.293/.302 this season, so the break might be best for everyone. The Mariners will use Dylan Moore and Ryan Bliss at second base for now. The injury should also open up some playing time for Mitch Haniger, who has been sitting against righties with Moore seeing starts in the outfield. Rotoworld Monday, 3:12 pm

  • Jorge Polanco (hamstring) to undergo MRI on Monday
    Jorge Polanco will undergo an MRI exam on his injured left hamstring on Monday.

    Advice: Mariners’ manager Scott Servais told reporters after Sunday’s game that the club will have a better idea on his availability after that exam. The Mariners would probably be best served putting him on the injured list this time around and giving him the proper time to heal, but that’s not the path that they took while allowing him to sit out most of last week on a day-to-day basis. Expect the M’s to provide more information after Monday’s exam. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:56 pm

An update on his availability should be available before Monday’s game against Houston in Seattle. Rotoworld Sunday, 12:40 pm

  • Getting breather Saturday
    Diaz isn't in the Rays' lineup Saturday against the Royals.

    Advice: Diaz will get a day off Saturday after going 1-for-4 during a loss in Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Jonathan Aranda to start at first base, moving Isaac Paredes into the DH spot while Amed Rosario starts at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Saturday, 12:47 pm
