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

    Advice: The 24-year-old homered for the second straight game since moving into the leadoff spot.

    Advice: Wall gets the call to rejoin Atlanta’s bench mix ahead of Monday’s series opener against the Tigers with J.P. Martinez heading back to the minors.

  • Braves option J.P. Martinez to Triple-A
    Braves optioned OF J.P. Martinez to Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: Martinez heads back to the minors after going 2-for-10 with a double and one stolen base across seven games in a brief stint with the Braves. The 28-year-old figures to be up-and-down over the next few months as emergency outifield depth for Atlanta. Rotoworld Today, 8:11 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
     
  • Two hits in return
    Cruz went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Cruz returned from a two-game absence caused by ankle soreness but showed no ill effects. He has five multi-hit performances across 11 games in June while maintaining a .300 average with eight RBI and eight runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 7:48 am
     
  • Productive in Sunday's win
    Triolo went 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored Sunday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Triolo drew his fourth straight start, though two of those came with Oneil Cruz briefly sidelined. He went only 3-for-14 with seven strikeouts in that span, and he's likely to return to a reserve role so long as Cruz, Nick Gonzales and Ke'Bryan Hayes remain healthy. Rotowire.com Today, 7:43 am

  • Drives in three
    Delay went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Delay drew his first start since being recalled Saturday and delivered a key three-RBI double in the sixth inning to put the Pirates up 6-0. He's likely to remain the backup catcher behind Yasmani Grandal while Henry Davis (concussion) is sidelined, but Delay could push for more regular at-bats with Grandal performing poorly.
