  • Records first career steal
    Pages went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

    Advice: The steal was the first of Pages' young career, and Sunday also saw the rookie catcher log his first multi-hit effort. He's hit safely in six of his last 10 games, going 7-for-33 (.212) in that span to lift his season slash line to .155/.227/.276 over 66 plate appearances. Pages has seen a majority of the playing time at catcher lately, as Ivan Herrera was battling back tightness that ultimately landed him on the injured list. Pages is expected to slip back into a backup role when Willson Contreras (forearm) returns, though it's possible Pages maintains some steady playing time since the Cardinals value his defensive skills.

  • Clubs homer
    Bailey went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Bailey got the Giants on the scoreboard in the seventh inning, breaking up Sonny Gray's perfect game with a two-out solo home run. The long ball was Bailey's sixth of the season, and his second in the last five games. The 25-year-old is batting 10-for-26 (.385) with four runs and two RBI in his last six games.

  • Drives in three runs
    Diaz went 3-for-3 with three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's victory against the Orioles.

    Advice: Diaz knocked an RBI single in the first inning and later brought home two more runs with a pair of sacrifice flies. After hitting .200 in May, the 25-year-old has gone 18-for-57 (.316) in 15 June contests. Diaz owns a .704 OPS with 37 RBI and 31 runs scored in 67 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:29 pm
     
  • David Fry (elbow) considered day-to-day
    David Fry is considered day-to-day after exiting Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays with inflammation in his right elbow.

    Advice: It sounds like it’s just a minor issue and the 28-year-old slugger won’t require a trip to the injured list. While his pace has cooled over the last few weeks, Fry has still been a force in the middle of the Guardians’ lineup this season — slashing .312/.429/.526 with eight homers, 31 RBI and four stolen bases in only 189 plate appearances.

  • 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 Yesterday, 3:16 pm
     
  • Yainer Diaz has three hits, three RBI in win
    Yainer Diaz went 3-for-3 with three RBI and two runs scored in a win over the Orioles on Sunday.

    Advice: All three of Diaz’s hits were singles, but one of them drove in a run and then he tacked on two more RBI with two sacrifice flies. It hasn’t quite been the breakout season that many expected for the catcher, but he is hitting .264/.292/.412 with 37 RBIs which is contributing more than enough for you from the catcher position.

  • Ben Rice with two hits in loss
    Ben Rice went 2-for-3 on Sunday against the Braves.

    Advice: Rice has been totally fine in his first week of play with a .294 average and the same number of walks as strikeouts. He’s yet to find his first extra-base hit yet but does not seem over-matched by major league pitching. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:07 pm
     
  • Out up to four weeks
    Astros general manager Dana Brown said Sunday that Caratini (hip) could be out for up to four weeks, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Caratini landed on the 10-day injured list Friday after sustaining a left hip flexor strain June 19 against the White Sox. A four-week timeline would put Caratini's return after the All-Star break, potentially during the weekend series against the Mariners starting July 19. Prior to the injury, the 30-year-old catcher was slashing .248/.287/.429 with four home runs and 17 RBI over 115 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:20 pm
     
  • Battling elbow inflammation
    Fry was removed from Sunday's game against Toronto due to right elbow inflammation, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Fry ripped an RBI single during the first inning of Sunday's contest before being replaced behind the plate by Bo Naylor in the third. The Guardians are currently viewing Fry as day-to-day, though he will likely undergo further testing to determine the extent of his injury. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:16 pm
