  • Four-hit night
    Heim went 4-for-4 with two RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 15-8 win over Oakland.

    Advice: Heim extended a hit streak to five games, during which he's 10-for-17 with four walks, four RBI and eight runs scored. The catcher ranks third on the team with 22 RBI and fifth in runs (16) over 31 contests. With a doubleheader coming up Wednesday, Heim will likely sit out the matinee.

  • Launches homer in loss
    Stephenson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Stephenson's ninth-inning home run was way too late for the Reds, which logged just three hits and lost its sixth consecutive contest. Cincinnati's middle-of-the-order bats have not produced of late, which has prompted manager David Bell to move Stephenson to cleanup in the three starts since he returned from a hand injury last week.

  • Willson Contreras (forearm) to miss 6-8 weeks
    Willson Contreras will miss 6-8 weeks after undergoing surgery later this week on his fractured left forearm.

    Advice: It’s a significant development for the Cardinals as Contreras will wind up requiring surgery to repair a fractured left forearm that he suffered during Tuesday’s game against the Mets when he was struck by a swing from J.D. Martinez. The 31-year-old backstop should be ready to return sometime around the All-Star break, barring any setbacks. It’ll be Iván Herrera and Pedro Pagés handling the catching duties in his absence. Rotoworld Today, 3:05 am
