  • Out of Friday's lineup
    McGuire is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Manager Alex Cora continue to split playing time behind the plate relatively evenly, with Connor Wong receiving the start Friday. McGuire has scuffled offensively over his past six games, going 3-for-16 with six strikeouts. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat Friday
    Gomes is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Marlins.

    Advice: It's a routine day off for the veteran backstop. Miguel Amaya will do the catching for Jameson Taillon while Gomes takes a seat. Rotowire.com Today, 8:45 am
     
  • Launches homer in win
    Heim went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 9-7 win over Detroit.

    Advice: Heim extended a hit streak to six games with a second-inning homer to put the Rangers up 4-0. The catcher has launched three home runs with 15 RBI (third on team) over 17 games. Heim is batting .348 (8-for-23) with runners in scoring position. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:19 pm
     
  • Gabriel Moreno returns to lineup on Thursday
    Gabriel Moreno (thumb) has returned to the lineup for Thursday’s series opener against the Giants.

    Advice: Moreno returns to Arizona’s lineup for Thursday’s series opener following a brief two-game absence due to a right thumb contusion that he suffered earlier this week when he attempted to block a wild pitch with his bare hand. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:51 pm
     
  • In Thursday's lineup
    Moreno (thumb) will start at catcher and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Moreno hadn't started either of the Diamondbacks' previous two games due to a bruised right thumb, but he had been included in the initial lineup Wednesday before being scratched. He ended up appearing as a pinch hitter in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Cubs, and he now looks like he'll be ready to not only hit but also play defense in Thursday's series opener.

  • Hits go-ahead homer in Game 1
    Perez (groin) went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 win over the White Sox in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: Perez returned from a Grade 1 left groin strain Wednesday and delivered the key hit in the Royals' matinee win. He also went 0-for-2 with two walks in the nightcap while serving as the designated hitter. He appears good to go moving forward after the injury scare. The veteran catcher is off to a hot start with five homers, 17 RBI, nine runs scored and two doubles while slashing .324/.370/.574 over 18 contests this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:27 am
     
  • Picks up first steal
    Bailey went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Wednesday's 3-1 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Bailey's steal was his first of 2024, matching his total from 97 contests in 2023. As a catcher, speed is often not high on the list of priorities. He's cooled off after posting three multi-hit efforts over his first five games this season, but Bailey is still batting .286 with a .765 OPS, one home run, four RBI, three runs scored and two doubles over 51 plate appearances.

  • Picks up first steal of 2024
    Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

    Advice: The 22-year-old doesn't run much, but he's never been caught stealing in the majors, going 3-for-3 in 143 MLB games. Alvarez is struggling to get going at the plate this year, slashing .241/.293/.370 through 15 games with a homer, a steal, seven runs and eight RBI, but he remains locked in as the Mets' near-everyday catcher.

  • Sits against righty
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels, Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com reports.

    Advice: Rortvedt has started in just one of the Rays' last five games. The first three of those absences came against left-handed starting pitchers, but the lefty-hitting Rortvedt will give way to the right-handed-hitting Rene Pinto on Thursday even while right-hander Griffin Canning takes the hill for the Angels.
