    • Shines in win
      Valdez (8-5) allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out 10 over seven innings to earn the win over the Marlins on Wednesday.

      Advice: This is the seventh time this season Valdez has gone at least seven innings, and he's allowed more than one run in just one of those outings. The southpaw has earned quality starts in four of his last five games, allowing 13 runs (10 earned) over 30.2 innings in that span. For the season, he's at a 3.66 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 82:32 K:BB across 98.1 innings through 16 starts. He's been giving up a lot of hits this season, but he's done a decent job at damage control and could have a strong second half if he can keep traffic off the bases.

    • Valdez Ks season-high 10 batters vs. Marlins
      Framber Valdez allowed one earned run on six hits while striking out 10 to earn the win on Wednesday against the Marlins.

      Advice: Valdez became the latest pitcher to benefit from starting against the lowly Marlins. The veteran lefty struck out a season-high 10 batters in this one, with all six of his hits coming on singles scattered across seven innings. Valdez has allowed three earned runs or less in his last five outings and carries an 8-5 record and 3.66 ERA into the all-star break. Rotoworld Today, 7:42 pm
       
    • Tallies two hits in win
      Hoerner went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Orioles.

      Advice: Hoerner extended his hitting streak to six games as he tries to build some momentum heading into the All-Star break. The infielder is batting just .248 for the season, though he's hitting .333 during the recent hot streak. Hoerner batted .281 or better each of the last three seasons, which provides some optimism that a big second half is in store. Rotowire.com Today, 7:39 pm

    • Mason Miller quiets Red Sox to net 15th save
      Mason Miller fired a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday against the Red Sox to record his 15th save of the season.

      Advice: Miller has been at the epicenter of trade rumors for weeks at this point and will make his first All-Star Game appearance next week as his breakthrough campaign continues to roll on. The 25-year-old former top prospect, who has evolved into one of the premier closers in the game, was called upon to protect a three-run lead on Wednesday night at Fenway Park and needed just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to slam the door. He’s converted 15 of 17 save opportunities this season to go along with a sparkling 2.33 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 68/14 K/BB ratio across 38 2/3 innings (32 appearances). Rotoworld Today, 7:39 pm
       
    • Brooks Lee homers in comeback win over White Sox
      Brooks Lee walloped a solo homer to power the Twins to a 3-2 victory over the White Sox in the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader.

      Advice: Lee’s sixth-inning homer off White Sox rookie Drew Thorpe, which barely cleared the right-field wall, was his second round-tripper in eight games since being called up last week from Triple-A St. Paul. It was his lone hit in five at-bats, but it wound up putting Minnesota on the board and jump-starting an eventual comeback victory. The 23-year-old top prospect is batting .364 (12-for-33) with two homers and nine RBI through eight games so far. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats at this juncture.

    • Could return shortly after break
      Reds manager David Bell said Wednesday that Friedl (hamstring) is trending toward a return from the 10-day injured list in 7-to-10 days after the All-Star break, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

      Advice: Friedl was cleared earlier this week to begin a running progression as he works his way back from a strained right hamstring. It's not clear yet whether he will require a rehab assignment before returning from the IL, but he'll most likely require some games in the minors because he's already missed more than two weeks of action. Friedl should regain his role as the Reds' regular center fielder upon his activation. Rotowire.com Today, 1:17 pm

    • On bench Wednesday
      Kjerstad is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Kjerstad had started both of the past two days while the Orioles faced left-handed starting pitchers, but he'll take a seat Wednesday with southpaw Shota Imanaga on the hill for the Cubs. Austin Hays will spell Kjerstad in left field. Rotowire.com Today, 12:27 pm
       
    • Idle against lefty
      Mullins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

      Advice: Lefty Shota Imanaga is on the hill for the Cubs, so Mullins and fellow left-handed hitter Heston Kjerstad will duck out of the Baltimore lineup. Austin Hays and Colton Cowser will pick up starts in left and center field, respectively. Rotowire.com Today, 12:25 pm
       
    • Gets aboard four times Tuesday
      Kwan went 3-for-5 with a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 9-8 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

      Advice: Kwan was one of three Guardians, along with Jose Ramirez and Josh Naylor, to log three hits Tuesday. That trio set the table for a potent offensive showing in the high-scoring game, just one day after Monday's 1-0 victory for the Tigers. Kwan is batting .324 (11-for-34) in July across eight games, and he's slashing .363/.418/.531 with nine home runs, 27 RBI, 54 runs scored and four stolen bases over 64 contests this season.
