  • Cal Raleigh tags three-run homer in loss
    Cal Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run on Wednesday in a loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: The Orioles offense was quiet all night besides Raleigh’s blast. He golfed a changeup from Luke Weaver, which has been one of the best individual pitches in baseball this season, just barely over the right-field fence for his 11th long ball of the season. It would’ve been a homer in fewer than half of the league’s stadiums, but this was the only one that mattered. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:12 pm
     
  • On bench versus southpaw
    Soderstrom is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game versus Colorado.

    Advice: Soderstrom started the previous three games but will sit Wednesday as lefty Austin Gomber pitches for the Rockies. J.D. Davis will handle first base and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:00 pm
     
  • Heads to bench Wednesday
    Trevino is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: After starting three straight games -- all against right-handed pitching -- from Saturday through Monday, Trevino now finds himself on the bench against a righty (Bryce Miller) for the second contest in a row. Trevino still holds a sizable edge over fellow catcher Austin Wells in OPS for the season (.776 to .620), but manager Aaron Boone doesn't appear ready to move Wells into a pure backup role just yet.

  • Notches first steal Tuesday
    Langeliers went 0-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in a win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Advice: The slugging backstop got it done a bit differently Tuesday, with Langeliers showing some solid plate discipline while recording his second multi-walk effort of the season, both which have come within the last week. Langeliers' steal was also his first of the campaign, and with the pair of free passes, he's now reached safely in six consecutive games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:56 am
     
  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Grandal (groin) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Giants.

    Advice: Grandal was removed late in Tuesday's 7-6 win with left groin soreness. He has avoided the injured list for the time being, though the Pirates have added catcher Grant Koch to their taxi squad as protection in case the team needs to move another backstop onto the 26-man active roster. Joey Bart will handle the catching duties Wednesday in Grandal's stead. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:02 am
     
  • Removed with groin injury
    Grandal was removed from Tuesday's game against the Giants due to left groin discomfort, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: After going hitless in his first three at-bats of the night, Grandal doubled and came around to score during Pittsburgh's ninth-inning rally, but he was unable to catch in the top of the 10th inning. The severity of his injury isn't immediately apparent, but the Pirates should have more information on the veteran backstop's injury before the start of Wednesday's game.

  • Yasmani Grandal leaves game with groin discomfort
    Yasmani Grandal was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Giants with left groin discomfort.

    Advice: Let’s check in on Henry Davis, folks. Grandal could wind up hitting the injured list in the coming days, if the issue winds up being serious. There should be an update on his status at some point prior to Wednesday’s contest. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:46 pm
     
  • Elias Díaz returns to lineup Tuesday vs. A’s
    Elias Díaz (hand) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Athletics.

    Advice: Díaz is back handling the catching duties for Colorado in Oakland following a four-game absence due to left hand soreness. The 33-year-old backstop was battling the ongoing issue for a couple weeks, so the hope here is that the extended layoff helps put the issue behind him. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:57 pm
     
  • Returns to lineup
    Diaz (hand) is in the Rockies' lineup Tuesday versus the Athletics.

    Advice: Diaz missed four consecutive games for the Rockies due to a hand injury, and he had an additional day to recover with the team day off Monday. Jacob Stallings was starting in his place, but the former will return to the bench Tuesday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:33 pm
