  • Swipes first big-league bag
    Barger went 2-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, Barger stole the first bag of his MLB career after he led off the second inning with a single. The 24-year-old has started two straight games since his latest promotion, one in right and one at third base, and he's gone 3-for-7 with two RBI and a 1:2 BB:K. Barger could be in line for consistent playing time against right-handed pitching as the Jays look for an offensive spark. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Productive in Sunday's win
    Raley went 1-for-3 with an RBI double, a walk and a run in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.

    Advice: Raley's fourth-inning two-bagger plated Mitch Haniger with the first run of the afternoon and snapped a brief 0-for-7 skid that had encompassed Raley's three previous games. Despite Sunday's production, the offseason addition has tailed off at the plate after a hot start to June, posting a .182 average and .562 OPS with a massive 42.9 percent strikeout rate in his last 12 games.

  • Gets surgery on left thumb
    Lukes underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: The Blue Jays haven't yet established a return timeline for Lukes, who is a member of the 40-man roster. He was up with the big club for one day in early May but has otherwise spent the entire season at Triple-A Buffalo. Lukes had slashed .333/.406/.480 with six home runs and four stolen bases in 192 plate appearances for Buffalo prior to being placed on the 7-day injured list. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • First three-hit game of season
    Jones went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Sunday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Jones started in his second straight game since returning from the injured list and has hit fifth and sixth in the order. He delivered his first three-hit effort and only sixth multi-knock performance of the campaign in 29 starts. That provides some hope that he's now fully healthy and prepared to improve upon his .196 average and .587 OPS. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

    Kelenic went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Rays.

Kelenic has six long balls on the season, but three of them have come in the last seven games, and he's slashing .293/.341/.561 through 44 plate appearances in June. Rotowire.com Today, 8:16 am

  • Receives promotion
    Atlanta recalled Wall from Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

    Advice: It's possible the left-handed-hitting Wall could get some regular looks in the outfield if Atlanta prefers to limit Adam Duvall's and Ramon Laureano's exposure to right-handed pitching. If that happens, Wall would make for an interesting deep-league addition in fantasy leagues given his speed, as he's stolen 11 bases this season at Gwinnett and swiped 52 bags in 2023. He's capable of handling all three outfield spots. Rotowire.com Today, 7:58 am
     
  • Sent back to minors
    Atlanta optioned Martinez to Triple-A Gwinnett on Monday.

    Advice: Even with Atlanta battling multiple injuries in its outfield, Martinez has hardly played, making just one start and receiving only 10 plate appearances during his three weeks in the majors. Forrest Wall was called up from Gwinnett to replace Martinez on the 26-man active roster. Rotowire.com Today, 7:53 am
