  • Zach Neto with two hits, drives in three runs
    Zach Neto went 2-for-4 with a double, run scored, and three RBI in the Angels’ 5-1 win over the Athletics on Wednesday.

    Advice: Neto’s three-run double in the sixth inning put the Angels ahead after being stifled all afternoon by Joey Estes. He’s had a sneaky solid season, with 10 homers, 10 steals, and 18 doubles. Hopefully Ron Washington decides to move him up in the batting order soon. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:51 pm
     
  • Sitting Game 2
    Arcia (head) is out of the lineup for Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    Advice: The 29-year-old exited Monday's contest due to dizziness and won't start the night game of Wednesday's twin bill. Luke Williams will start at shortstop in place of Arcia for the nightcap. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:14 pm
     
  • Maikel Garcia goes 0-for-4 out of leadoff spot
    Maikel Garcia went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts on Wednesday in the Royals’ win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Yikes. Garcia’s latest hitless effort leaves him with a .174 (21-for-121) batting average with zero homers and six steals over his last 30 games. It’s fair to wonder how much longer Kansas City can afford to stick with him anywhere near the top of their lineup moving forward. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:24 pm
     
  • Scores three times, swipes bag
    Stott went 1-for-3 with a double, three runs scored, a stolen base and a walk in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Stott came around to score every time he reached base in Wednesday's win. The three runs tied a career high, and he added his 20th stolen base of the season. His 20 swipes are the third most stolen bases in the National League behind Elly De La Cruz and Brice Turang. Stott's slash line of .242/.337/.363 isn't overly impressive, but he makes up for it with the solid counting stats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:37 pm

  • Bryson Stott scores three times in win over Tigers
    Bryson Stott doubled, walked, stole a base and scored three runs on Wednesday afternoon as the Phillies triumphed over the Tigers.

    Advice: Stott started the fourth inning by working Keider Montero for a walk and then rode home on Brandon Marsh’s two-run blast. He then doubled the following inning and scored on a two-run single off the bat of Marsh. Stott also reached on a fielder’s choice in the eighth, swiped second base and scored on a sacrifice fly by David Dahl. The 26-year-old second baseman finished the afternoon 1-for-3 and is now slashing .242/.337/.363 to go along with five homers, 36 RBI and 20 stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:42 pm

  • Zach Neto dropped to eighth in Angels lineup
    Zach Neto has been dropped to eighth in the Angels lineup Wednesday against the A’s.

    Advice: Neto has been the Angels’ best player since the end of April, but good luck convincing manager Ron Washington of that. Neto had mostly hit sixth of late. He’s batting .274/.326/.500 since Apr. 29, and he leads the Angels with four homers and 14 RBI in June. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:25 am
     
  • Reaches double-digit steals
    Neto went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-5 win against Oakland.

    Advice: Neto was also hit by a pitch in the fourth inning, and he came around to score when the next batter (Mickey Moniak) belted a grand slam. Neto's eighth-inning theft was his 10th of the campaign through 76 contests; as a rookie last year, he stole a modest five bases in 84 games. The shortstop also has 10 homers this season, making him one of 14 big-leaguers to have reached double-digit home runs and stolen bases so far in 2024. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:37 am
     
  • Orlando Arcia (dizziness) absent for Game 1
    Orlando Arcia, who left Monday’s game with dizziness, is not in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    Advice: We’re guessing we’ll see him in game two, but no official word yet if that’s the plan. Arcia was also slated to sit last night before the game was rained out. Zack Short is playing shortstop. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:35 am
     
  • Out for Game 1 of twin bill
    Arcia (head) is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.

    Advice: Before Tuesday's game was rained out, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker disclosed that Arcia still wasn't feeling well after exiting Monday's 4-3 loss due to dizziness. Snitker didn't entirely rule Arcia out for both games of the twin bill, but it wouldn't be surprising if Atlanta opted to give the veteran shortstop the full day off to recover. Zack Short will cover shortstop in Arcia's stead in the first game of the day. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:20 am
