  • Records steal as pinch runner
    Bliss entered Tuesday's win over the Athletics as a pinch runner in the top of the eighth inning and recorded a steal of second base. He did not record a subsequent plate appearance.

    Advice: The speedy rookie is already up to three swipes over his first six big-league games, with those numbers coming on the heels of a 28-for-34 showing in the steals department at Triple-A Tacoma. Bliss has seen only one ball drop in thus far over his 15 plate appearances, but he's maintained a presence on the basepaths and set himself up for stolen-base opportunities by also drawing four walks in that span.

  • Pops fifth homer
    Torres went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Twins.

    Advice: He took Bailey Ober deep in the second inning to get the Yankees on the board, giving Torres his fifth long ball of the year. The second baseman has hit safely in five straight games and 10 of the last 11 as he shows signs of emerging from his season-long slump -- over that 11-game stretch he's slashing .297/.372/.514 with two doubles and two homers.

  • On base three times
    Rengifo went 2-for-3 with a walk, a steal and an RBI in Tuesday's win over the Padres.

    Advice: Rengifo plated the Angels first run with a base hit in the third and wound up being stranded on second after notching his 14th steal and second in as many games. He now has at least a hit in four straight games and is slashing .390/.419/.512 with three RBI, eight runs and a 2:4 BB:K in 43 plate appearances since May 24. Rotowire.com Today, 7:33 am

  • Records ninth steal Tuesday
    Moore went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Advice: Moore didn't log one of his trademark extra-base hits, but he still found a way to make an impact by working himself into scoring position after his fourth-inning single with the help of his ninth steal. The 31-year-old remains in a multi-game funk, however, as he's just 3-for-25 over the last seven contests, a span during which he's reached via a trio of singles, one walk and three hit-by-pitches.

  • Three-hit night in win
    Rojas went 3-for-5 with an RBI infield single, a double and a run in a win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Advice: Rojas brought home Dylan Moore with his fourth-inning knock to extend the Mariners' lead to 4-1 at the time, marking only his second RBI in the last 15 games. In contrast, the two-bagger was Rojas' fifth during that same stretch, although those are his only extra-base hits dating back to May 5. Despite the overall lack of pop recently, Rojas is still one of the Mariners' more consistent bats with a .288 average and .781 OPS across 177 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:17 am
  • Moving to second base
    Castro started at second base and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Yankees.

    Advice: Castro has played several positions this season and has moved frequently during games, but he's now set to start mostly at second base with Edouard Julien sent to Triple-A. He'll likely soon accumulate enough games at second base (3 games played at second this season) to qualify at another position in most formats (he's already played more than ten games at third base, shortstop and outfield).

  • On base four times in win
    Marte went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Tuesday's win over the Giants.

    Advice: Marte notched three hits for the second time over his last three games and for the seventh time this season. He now has at least a hit in five of his last six games and boasts a 4:3 BB:K over that span as well. For the year, the 30-year-old is slashing .278/.337/.502 with 12 homers, 32 RBI, 40 runs and a 21:51 BB:K in 270 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 6:59 am
  • Hits in four straight
    Alexander started at designated hitter and went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Giants.

    Advice: Alexander was in the starting lineup for a fourth consecutive game -- all against left-handers -- and has hit safely in all four, going 8-for-16 with a stolen base, three RBI, two doubles and four runs. He's hit southpaws well, posting a .362/.422/.552 line against them. However, his stay in the majors could be ending soon. With news that Geraldo Perdomo (knee) will transfer his rehab to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday, Alexander's roster spot appears to have a shelf life. Rotowire.com Today, 3:40 am
  • Six-game hitting streak
    Paredes went 2-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored Tuesday against the Marlins.

    Advice: Paredes delivered a two-RBI single in the fifth inning and came around to score in the same frame. He extended his hitting streak to six games with the performance, driving in five and scoring four runs in that span. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:47 pm
