  • X-rays negative on Nico Hoerner’s hand after HBP
    X-rays came back negative on Nico Hoerner’s hand after being hit by a pitch during Thursday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: Hoerner remained in the contest and appears to have avoided serious injury after being plunked on the hand by a 96.5 mph fastball from Reds starter Hunter Greene during the early stages of the game. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to wind up missing any time. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:44 pm
  • Blasts 12th home run
    Morel went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Morel can be streaky with his power production, but he appears to be locked in right now, as he has two home runs across his last three games and three bombs in his last seven contests. The surge has pushed him up to 12 long balls for the season. Morel popped 26 home runs last year, and he certainly could reach or surpass that figure in 2024 if he stays healthy.

  • India drives in two in win against Cubs Thursday
    Jonathan India went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI against the Cubs on Thursday.

    Advice: India had an RBI single in the sixth inning and walked with the bases loaded in the seventh inning. He was dropped in the order after a slow start to the season, but India has picked it up going 22-for-76 (.289) with 16 walks in his last 24 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:00 pm
  • Morel hits 12th home run in loss Thursday
    Christopher Morel went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run against the Reds on Thursday.

    Advice: The home run was Morel’s 12th of the year. He’s hitting just .205 on the season, but his .212 BABIP is well below his career .287 BABIP. His 21 percent strikeout percentage is much improved from his career 29 percent strikeout percentage. Even if he goes back to striking out more, his average should improve over the rest of the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:54 pm
  • Mookie Betts homers to lead Dodgers past Pirates
    Mookie Betts went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer on Thursday, powering the Dodgers to an 11-7 victory over the Pirates.

    Advice: Betts capped off Los Angeles’ six-run explosion in the fifth inning with his 10th round-tripper of the season, taking Pirates reliever Ben Heller deep to center field. It was his second big fly in his last four games and first multi-hit effort since May 28. He also walked twice in this one. The 31-year-old fantasy superstar is batting .312/.411/.512 with 46 runs scored, 10 homers, 35 RBI and nine stolen bases through 292 plate appearances over 63 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:54 pm

  • Nick Gonzales hits fourth homer Thursday in loss
    Nick Gonzales went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer on Thursday in the Pirates’ loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Gonzales took Dodgers starter Walker Buehler deep in the early stages of the contest for his fourth long ball of the season. The 25-year-old infielder has been an unexpected revelation for Pittsburgh, batting .315 (28-for-89) with four homers and two steals in 24 games since arriving back in the majors last month.

  • Nick Yorke delivers three hits Thursday for Triple-A
    Red Sox 2B prospect Nick Yorke went 3-for-5 with an RBI on Thursday for Triple-A Worcester.

    Advice: Yorke hasn’t skipped a beat since arriving in Worcester earlier this week with four hits in nine at-bats through a pair of games so far. The 22-year-old second baseman, who was Boston’s first-round pick from the 2020 MLB Draft, has watched his stock take a hit over the last few years as he hasn’t exactly hit for a ton of power in the upper minors. Still, there’s a chance he’s able to finally ascend to the big leagues at some point later this summer. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:29 pm
  • Tommy Edman progresses to hitting from both sides
    Tommy Edman (wrist) has been cleared to take batting practice from both sides of the plate.

    Advice: Edman continues to work his way back from offseason surgery on his right wrist and remains without a definitive timetable to return to St. Louis at the moment. The versatile switch-hitting 29-year-old figures to be ready around the All-Star break, but he’s going to need a couple weeks of at-bats in the minors to get back up to speed in the wake of such an extended layoff.
