  • Phillies add Rafael Marchán for London Series
    Rafael Marchán will serve as the Phillies’ extra player for this weekend’s London Series against the Mets.

    Advice: Marchán was activated from the injured list back in late May and has remained stationed at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 25-year-old backstop joins the Phillies overseas as their extra position player for the two-game London Series. Rotoworld Today, 6:38 am
     
  • Officially promoted
    The Phillies recalled Marchan from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

    Advice: Marchan will come up from the minors to serve as Philadelphia's 27th man during its two-game series with the Mets in London. Starter J.T. Realmuto has taken a beating behind the plate over the past several days, though it's still unlikely Marchan sees the field over the weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 6:35 am
     
  • Sitting again Saturday
    Nido isn't in the Mets' lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Nido will sit for the fourth time in five games Saturday as Luis Torrens draws the start behind the plate while batting ninth. Torrens has gone 3-for-10 with two homers in three games since joining the Mets on Sunday, and continued success from him could cause Nido to drop down the Mets' depth chart.

  • Agustin Ramirez socks three homers Friday at AA
    Yankees C prospect Agustin Ramirez walloped three homers on Friday for Double-A Somerset.

    Advice: Ramirez went 3-for-5 with six RBI on Friday evening as he’s up to 15 homers this season across just 49 games. The 22-year-old backstop has put together an extremely impressive breakthrough this year in the upper minors, batting .273/.372/.536 with 15 homers and 12 steals already. The biggest question for New York is how everything shakes out long-term with fellow top catching Ben Rice already at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Rotoworld Today, 6:15 am
     
  • Knocks in two in win
    Stephenson started at catcher, batted fifth and went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Stephenson, who had his hand checked out after getting hit by a pitch Thursday, was back in the starting lineup Friday at his usual catching position. He delivered a two-out, two-run double in the fourth inning to give the Reds a 2-0 lead. The double extended Stephenson's hit streak to eight games, during which he's 12-for-31 (.387) with five RBI and eight runs. Rotowire.com Today, 6:02 am
     
  • Cracks sixth homer
    Melendez went 1-for-3 with a homer, a walk and four RBI in Friday's win against the Mariners.

    Advice: Melendez blasted a 406-foot, three-run homer off Bryce Miller in the fourth inning before adding another RBI via a groundout in the sixth. This marks the 25-year-old's second four-RBI game of the season, with the first coming April 19. Hopefully Melendez can build upon this performance, as he entered the contest hitting a ghastly .111 (5-for-45) with 13 strikeouts over his last 15 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:47 pm
