  • First career start at 1B
    Gonzalez started at first base and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-0 loss to Atlanta.

    Advice: Gonzalez was activated off the injured list Wednesday and was in the starting lineup against left-hander Chris Sale. It was Gonzalez's first career start at first base. The versatile infielder is expected to see significant playing time against southpaws, and the Red Sox will see two lefties in the upcoming three-game set against Washington. Boston manager Alex Cora told Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe that Gonzalez swings the bat well and feels he can lengthen the lineup from the seventh spot in the order. Nos. 7-9 in Boston's lineup were batting just .209 entering Wednesday's game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:35 pm

    Advice: The 27-year-old hit a solo shot off George Kirby in the second inning to break an 0-for-11 stretch at the plate, and Castro's RBI triple in the fourth gave the Twins some extra insurance, making it a 4-1 ballgame. Castro is now slashing .346/.370/.692 with three RBI and three stolen bases across his last seven games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:23 pm

    Semien went a combined 6-for-10 with a home run and three additional runs scored in Wednesday's doubleheader against Oakland.

    Advice: Semien, who had identical 3-for-5 lines in each end of the doubleheader, homered for a second straight game in the matinee. It's been a productive two days for Semien, who had four hits and a homer Tuesday; the second baseman raised his average 38 points after going 10-for-15 over the last three games.

  • Scores, drives in two Wednesday
    Keith went 1-for-4 with a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 5-4, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: It's not a huge stat line but it is a small step forward for Keith, who's batting just .162 with a .414 OPS this season. The rookie now has hits in consecutive games, which is the first time he's done that since the middle of April. Keith may endure some more struggles as he gets used to the MLB level, though he's a talented prospect and should figure things out at some point. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:22 pm
     
  • Isaac Paredes plates lone run in loss to White Sox
    Isaac Paredes went 1-for-3 with a double and drove in the Rays’ lone run in Wednesday evening’s loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: The hard-hitting 25-year-old infielder got the Rays on the board first with a run-scoring double off of Chris Flexen in the fourth inning. That would wind up being their only tally in the contest though. Paredes also drew a walk in the ballgame, reaching base safely in two of his four plate appearances. For the season, he’s now hitting .300/.387/.523 with eight homers and 20 RBI. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:07 pm
     
  • Another start in center
    Castro is starting in center field and batting seventh for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: It's the 21st staight start for Castro, who has also been in the lineup at shortstop, third base and in left field during that stretch. Third base and center field will likely be Castro's primary homes for the foreseeable future while Royce Lewis (quadricep) and Byron Buxton (knee) remain on the injured list.

  • Red Sox activate Romy Gonzalez from 10-day IL
    Red Sox activated INF/OF Romy Gonzalez from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The versatile 27-year-old has been shelved since April 11 due to a left wrist sprain. Before he was sidelined, Gonzalez had been just 1-for-4 (.250) with a walk and a strikeout in two games played with the Red Sox. He’ll add depth and versatility to the team’s bench and can safely be ignored for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:07 pm
