  • 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
     
  • Ty France (heel) likely to return next week
    Ty France (heel) has progressed to hitting without any limitations.

    Advice: France is pain-free at the moment and appears poised to return early next week when first eligible to be activated from the injured list. The big question for fantasy managers is whether top prospect Tyler Locklear will be shipped out to the minors once he’s ready to return. Rotoworld Thursday, 3:12 pm

  • Sitting Thursday
    Bohm isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Thursday's game against Boston.

    Advice: Bohm will get a breather Thursday after going 3-for-19 with two RBI in his last five games, allowing Whit Merrifield to start at the hot corner while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Thursday, 1:06 pm

  • Likely return when first eligible
    France (heel) has a good chance of returning from the injured list when first eligible Tuesday, or very shortly thereafter, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Advice: The positive news was delivered by general manager Justin Hollander before Wednesday's game against the White Sox, and it represents a more optimistic outlook than when France first went on the injured list Sunday with what was diagnosed as a hairline fracture of the heel. France had posted a .308 average and 1.013 OPS over the last 12 games he played before the injury, so the hope for fantasy managers is a brief IL stay will up the chances of him carrying over that momentum.

  • On base five times in loss
    Perez went 2-for-2 with three walks in Wednesday's 11-5 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Perez walked three times in a game for the first time in his career. The catcher has gone just 6-for-33 (.182) over 10 contests in June, but he's shown rare patience at the plate by drawing eight walks in that span. For the season, he's at a .302/.381/.488 slash line with 10 home runs, 42 RBI, 26 runs scored, 15 doubles and no stolen bases, and his 9.0 percent walk rate is double his previous career high, which was in a 39-game sample as a rookie in 2011.

  • Heading to bench Thursday
    Joe is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Joe will take a seat for the series finale along with two of the other Pirates' everyday players in Andrew McCutchen and Nick Gonzales. Though he's been one of the Pirates' better hitters for much of the season, Joe has fallen into a 2-for-27 skid at the plate over his last eight games. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:37 am

  • Goes yard twice in win
    Solano went 2-for-4 with two home run and three RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 win over the A's.

    Advice: All the Padres' offense came from long balls, with Solano supplying a solo shot off Hogan Harris in the second inning and a two-run homer off Lucas Erceg in the eighth. Solano's only other home run this season came May 27, but during that 16-game stretch he's slashing .315/.367/.519 with seven runs and nine RBI while filling in as the starting third baseman for a banged-up Manny Machado.

  • Donovan Solano homers twice in Padres’ victory
    Donovan Solano went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI on Wednesday in the Padres’ victory over the Athletics.

    Advice: Solano homered off Oakland starter Hogan Harris and reliever Lucas Erceg to turn in one of the most unlikely multi-homer performances of the entire 2024 campaign. It was 36-year-old veteran journeyman’s first two-homer effort since August 4, 2019. Rotoworld Wednesday, 5:26 pm
