  • Drives in four
    Gonzales went 2-for-3 with a two-RBI double, a sacrifice fly and an RBI single during Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Despite the Pirates putting up a 10-spot, Gonzales' two-RBI double in the second inning was Pittsburgh's lone extra-base hit on the day. His four RBI tied his career high, which was set May 24 against Atlanta. Before that, the 25-year-old hadn't generated more than two RBI in a game in his career. Wednesday's contest added to Gonzales' breakout campaign, as he's slashing .310/.355/.500 with 20 RBI, 12 runs and two stolen bases in 94 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:31 pm
     
  • Nick Gonzales knocks in four in win over Dodgers
    Nick Gonzales drove in four runs with a double, a single and a sac fly Wednesday as the Pirates bested the Dodgers 10-6.

    Advice: Gonzales is now tied for third on the Pirates with 20 RBI, even as he’s a distant 11th on the team with 90 plate appearances. The Pirates started him at shortstop for the second time tonight, as Oneil Cruz was sitting against a lefty. Gonzales definitely seems better off at second, but the versatility helps, especially since he probably isn’t going to keep up this pace offensively. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:00 pm
     
  • Beginning rehab assignment
    Diaz (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Brooklyn on Thursday.

    Advice: Diaz threw a successful bullpen session Tuesday and has now been cleared to test things out in a game setting. He is eligible for activation from the 15-day injured list on June 11 when the Mets return home from London. Barring a setback, Diaz should be ready to go that day. Whether he is used as the closer right away upon his return is unclear, as Diaz's struggles prior to getting hurt had led to him sharing save chances with others.

  • Taking seat against lefty
    Cruz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Cruz will move to the bench Wednesday while the Dodgers bring southpaw James Paxton to the hill. He'll cede his spot at shortstop to Nick Gonzales. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:48 am
     
  • Returns to majors
    The Brewers recalled Myers from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

    Advice: Myers should be available out of the bullpen beginning with Wednesday's game against the Phillies, but he might be needed to make some starts while the Brewers are without multiple rotation members. The rookie right-hander holds a 5.40 ERA and 27:10 K:BB over 26.2 innings for Milwaukee, covering six starts and one relief appearance. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:29 am
     
  • Brewers recall Tobias Myers from Triple-A
    Brewers recalled RHP Tobias Myers from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Myers has a 5.40 ERA in six starts and one relief appearance for the Brewers this season. He’ll be available to go long in relief if Aaron Ashby struggles today. Depending on what happens there, he could stick around and make a start next week. Rotoworld Wednesday, 10:11 am
     
  • Freddie Freeman has two hits in loss to Pirates
    Freddie Freeman went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Advice: Freeman had a first-inning single and smoked a 103.6 mph double off Jared Jones, finishing as the only Dodger with multiple hits on the day. The veteran has been his usual solid self all season and should add a bit more power as the weather heats up. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:46 pm
     
  • Throws bullpen session
    Diaz (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Diaz threw 21 pitches during his mound session, and manager Carlos Mendoza said afterward that there is a good chance the 30-year-old reliever begins a rehab assignment in the minors Thursday. It's unclear how many minor-league reps the Mets will give their star closer, but the fact Diaz is already able to begin an assignment likely signals that he will only require a minimum-length stint on the IL.

  • Edwin Díaz to start rehab assignment this week
    Edwin Díaz (shoulder) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday.

    Advice: Díaz threw a bullpen session on Tuesday without any issues and the Mets are hoping to have one of their primary closing options back on June 11, when first eligible to return. The electrifying 30-year-old righty hit the injured list back in late May with a right shoulder impingement. He’s struggled this season, but remains arguably the best option for New York manager Carlos Mendoza moving forward over Adam Ottavino, Jake Diekman and Reed Garrett. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:23 pm
