  • Coming off injured list Friday
    Pham (ankle) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game in Arizona, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Pham played in three rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League this week, going 3-for-11 with a home run. He's been out for most of this month with a sprained left ankle. Pham had been seeing most of his starts in center field for the White Sox prior to getting hurt, but with Luis Robert now back from the injured list, Pham should shift over to right field.

  • Out against left-hander
    Lowe is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Cubs.

    Advice: The Cubs are sending southpaw Justin Steele to the hill in the rubber match, so the left-handed hitting Lowe will begin the game on the bench. Jonny DeLuca is playing right field for the Rays. Rotowire.com Today, 12:21 pm

  • Gathers hit, RBI in win
    O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Phillies.

    Advice: O'Neill returned from a knee injury and served as Boston's designated hitter. He tried to stretch a single into a double in the first inning but was thrown out, which suggests O'Neill's knee is feeling better. He later plated a run on a sacrifice fly during the Red Sox's five-run fifth inning, which helped wipe out Philadelphia's early 4-0 lead. Rotowire.com Today, 5:54 am

  • Notches first steal of season
    Donovan went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Donovan extended his hitting streak to seven games. He's gone 9-for-27 (.333) in that span, but just one of those hits has gone for extra bases. The 27-year-old's steal Wednesday was his first of the season, and he's not much of a speed threat after logging just five thefts in 95 games a year ago. Donovan is up to a .247/.322/.368 slash line with four home runs, 28 RBI, 30 runs scored, 15 doubles and one triple over 270 plate appearances this season. He spent much of the first two months of the season batting leadoff versus right-handed pitchers, but Masyn Winn is now atop the order on a near-everyday basis, having hit there in all but two of 11 games in June. Donovan has hit no higher than sixth over the last week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:23 pm

  • Opens scoring with homer
    Raley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Raley opened the scoring with a seventh-inning blast, and he also scored the winning run in the 10th as Mitch Haniger's single knocked him in. Over 11 games in June, Raley has gone 9-for-32 (.281) with three homers and six RBI. The outfielder is at a .264/.310/.442 slash line with seven homers, 18 RBI, 22 runs scored and five stolen bases over 174 plate appearances this season. Raley is in a strong-side platoon role in left field, sharing the position with Victor Robles. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:46 pm

  • Luke Raley goes yard in win over White Sox
    Luke Raley went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Seattle’s 2-1 win against the White Sox on Wednesday.

    Advice: With the game still scoreless in the seventh inning, Raley gave the Mariners the lead with a solo homer to right field off Jonathan Cannon. After the White Sox tied the game in the ninth, Raley started the tenth inning on second and scored the game-winning run on a base hit by Mitch Haniger. The 29-year-old outfielder is hitting .264/.310/.442 with seven homers, 18 RBI, and five steals across 174 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:23 pm

  • Homers, steals in win
    Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in a 4-3 win over Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

    Advice: Suzuki singled in the first inning, hit a solo home run off Aaron Civale in the fourth then walked and stole second base in the seventh. After exiting last Friday's game with oblique tightness, Suzuki has collected five hits in three games and now has three homers and two steals in June. On the season, he is slashing .269/.332/.473 with eight home runs, 26 RBI and four steals in 187 plate appearances Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:42 pm
     
  • Cavan Biggio starts at third base in Dodgers debut
    Cavan Biggio will start at third base and bat ninth in his Dodgers’ debut against the Rangers on Wednesday evening.

    Advice: It looks like Biggio could see strong-side platoon at-bats at third base — at least until Max Muncy returns from the injured list — as well as being utilized all over the diamond as a super-utility option. The 29-year-old was hitting a miserable .200/.323/.291 with a pair of homers in 131 plate appearances with the Blue Jays this season before getting designated for assignment and ultimately flipped to the Dodgers.

  • Making Dodgers debut at third base
    Biggio is starting at third base and batting ninth Wednesday against the Rangers.

    Advice: The 29-year-old was officially acquired from Toronto earlier Wednesday and will immediately step into the starting nine for Los Angeles. Biggio struggled in 130 plate appearances for the Blue Jays this season with a .200/.323/.291 slash line and 32.3 percent strikeout rate, but he could see semi-regular playing time at the hot corner while Max Muncy (oblique) is sidelined. Enrique Hernandez has been operating as the Dodgers' primary third baseman but is on the bench Wednesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:17 pm
