  • Correa has home run, three hits, three RBI vs. A’s
    Carlos Correa went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, three RBI, and a home run against the Athletics on Thursday.

    Advice: Correa has been absolutely on fire at the plate lately. He’s hitting 18-for-33 (.545) with two home runs and nine RBI in his last eight games. Correa’s average is suddenly up to .299 with 31 RBI on the season. Despite only having six home runs total this year, his fantasy value is undeniable. Rotoworld Today, 7:42 pm

  • Corey Seager scratched from Thursday’s lineup
    Corey Seager has been scratched from the lineup for Thursday’s series finale against the Dodgers due to left hamstring tightness.

    Advice: Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told reporters they’re exercising an abundance of caution after Seager experienced some left hamstring tightness during his pregame routine. The lingering issue has caused him to miss four of the previous five games. The 30-year-old fantasy superstar blasted a three-run homer on Wednesday in his return to the lineup at his old stomping ground in Los Angeles and the expectation is that he’ll be ready for Friday’s series opener against the division-rival Mariners. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 4:30 pm

  • Drives in two in loss
    Cruz went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: The 25-year-old shortstop tied up the game with a two-run single off Lance Lynn in the fifth inning, but that finished the scoring for Pittsburgh. Cruz now has eight RBI over his last seven games, and his batting average in June is a solid .286. He will carry a .248/.300/.432 slash line with nine home runs and 28 RBI into a weekend series at Colorado. Rotowire.com Today, 4:01 pm
     
  • Scratched from lineup
    Seager was scratched from the Rangers' lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Dodgers, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The reason for Seager's removal from the lineup is unknown, but the Rangers should offer an explanation relatively soon. In the meantime, Travis Jankowski will step in as Texas' designated hitter with Josh Smith starting at shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 3:39 pm

  • Out of lineup versus righty
    Hernandez isn't in the Dodgers' lineup versus the Rangers on Thursday.

    Advice: Hernandez is on the bench again with righty Michael Lorenzen on the mound for the Rangers. Recently acquired Cavan Biggio has the start at third and is batting eighth Thursday. Hernandez, who was serving as the primary third baseman in Max Muncy's absence, will now seem to just fill that role against lefties while Biggio will start against righties. For the season, Hernandez has a .724 OPS against lefties, but a .493 OPS against righties. Rotowire.com Today, 3:25 pm

  • Trea Turner (hamstring) running at 100 percent
    Trea Turner (hamstring) progressed to running at 100 percent on Thursday.

    Advice: Turner is trending towards making his long-awaited return to Philadelphia’s lineup at some point early next week. It sounds like the 30-year-old shortstop will skip a minor-league rehab assignment, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see him get in a couple at-bats over the weekend prior to returning.

  • Rips walk-off double
    Garcia went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run and walk in Thursday's 4-3 win versus the Yankees.

    Advice: Garcia came up with two on and two out in the ninth and took a Clay Holmes sinker down the left-field line to win it for Kansas City. The 24-year-old third baseman entered the game in a bit of a slump during June with just one RBI and a .159 average in 40 at-bats. Garcia continues to provide a spark for the Royals this season with his solid counting stats, as he now has 18 extra-base hits and 38 RBI with 16 stolen bases through 68 games.
