  • Patrick Bailey homers in loss to Cardinals
    Patrick Bailey went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Advice: Bailey crushed a 425-foot shot off of Sonny Gray in the seventh inning at 104 mph for his sixth big fly of the year. Bailey is also slashing .292/.362/.444 and has been tremendous for the Giants when not on the IL as he battled concussion issues. He’s playing well enough and starting often enough that he can be rostered in one-catcher leagues far more regularly. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:16 pm

  • Knocks homer Saturday
    Higashioka went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win against the Brewers.

    Advice: Higashioka delivered what turned out to be a key long ball in the seventh inning, belting a two-run blast to left field. It was the catcher's fifth homer through 12 games in June after he went deep just once over 17 contests prior to the start of the month. The hot stretch has helped Higashioka earn more playing time, and he's slated to take over primary catching duties for San Diego for at least 10 days due to Luis Campusano (thumb) landing on the injured list Saturday.

  • Sitting Sunday
    Barnhart is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

    Advice: Barnhart came in for Gabriel Moreno (thumb) in the bottom of the sixth inning in Friday's contest. Barnhart started at catcher Saturday, going 1-for-3 with an RBI in a 12-1 loss, and he will serve as Arizona's primary catcher with Moreno on the injured list. Jose Herrera will start behind home plate Sunday and bat ninth against Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:01 am
     
  • Moves up depth chart
    Barnhart went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Saturday's 12-1 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Barnhart drove in Arizona's lone run and has RBI in three of his last four starts. He stepped in as the starting catcher Saturday after the Diamondbacks placed primary backstop Gabriel Moreno (thumb) on the 10-day injured list. Barnhart moves to the top of the depth chart with Jose Herrera called up from Triple-A Reno to serve as the backup. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:02 am
     
  • Kyle Higashioka goes deep in win over Brewers
    Kyle Higashioka filled in admirably for the injured Luis Campusano on Saturday, crushing a two-run homer and throwing out a pair of baserunners in a victory over the Brewers.

    Advice: Higashioka tagged right-hander Jakob Junis for his 413-foot (102.4 mph EV) two-run blast in the seventh inning that extended the Padres’ lead to 6-0. That would be his lone hit in three at-bats on the night. For the season, the 34-year-old backstop is now hitting .173/.212/.444 with six homers and 12 RBI. Rotoworld Saturday, 7:00 pm
