  • Opportunity drying up
    Jankowski started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Cleveland.

    Advice: Jankowski made his third consecutive start and fourth in the last five games, but his opportunities may be coming to close. Evan Carter (lower back stiffness) is expected to return to the lineup Friday against the Angels, which is expected to move Jankowski back to a bench role. Additionally, the Angels' projected starter Friday is lefty Tyler Anderson, which would likely preclude Jankowski from making a fourth straight start. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Triples, scores in win
    Taveras went 1-for-4 with a triple and run scored in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Taveras scored the Rangers first (and winning) run when his fifth-inning triple immediately preceded a Marcus Semien home run.

  • Mike Yastrzemski slugs two-run homer in win
    Mike Yastrzemski went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer to lead the Giants to a 4-1 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.

    Advice: Yastrzemski put the Giants on the board with a two-run homer off Elieser Hernández in the third inning. He added a base hit in the seventh. The 33-year-old outfielder has hit leadoff for the last three games and could remain in the top spot against right-handed pitching. Yastrzemski is hitting .223/.286/.379 with four homers and 14 RBI across 113 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:17 pm
     
  • Mike Tauchman hits solo-shot in win over Braves
    Mike Tauchman went 2-for-5 with a home run against the Braves on Wednesday.

    Advice: Wednesday marked the third straight game Tauchman has led-off for the Cubs against a right-handed pitcher and he’s hit either first or second in every game against righties since April 23rd. It seems like the Cubs trust him at the top of their order while he stays hot. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:45 pm

  • Triples, steals base in win
    Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a triple, a run scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 7-1 win over Atlanta. He also stole a base.

    Advice: Crow-Armstrong continues to show off his speed, as he recorded his first triple and fourth stolen base across 21 games this season. The 22-year-old is in a crowded outfield with the likes of Ian Happ, Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki all healthy and commanding regular playing time. However, Crow-Armstrong has plenty of talent, and his future outlook is bright even if he mostly serves as a reserve in 2024. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:43 pm
     
  • Goes deep in Wednesday's win
    Tauchman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 7-1 win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Tauchman was effective from the leadoff spot as he delivered his fourth home run of the season and first since April 28. The veteran started in left field in this one with Ian Happ getting the night off, but the Cubs now have a crowded outfield that features Tauchman, Happ, Cody Bellinger, Seiya Suzuki and Pete Crow-Armstrong. This could push Tauchman to the bench on a frequent basis, though the team seems intent on getting him regular playing time, and he's earned it with a strong .821 OPS so far.

  • Homers again Wednesday
    Frelick went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: After going 39 games without a long ball to start the season, Frelick has now homered in back-to-back games. The 24-year-old outfielder also logged his first multi-hit game since May 4, boosting his slash line to .257/.331/.354with 20 runs scored, 10 RBI and five steals across 160 plate appearances this year.

  • Resting against lefty
    Bleday is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Bleday will retreat to the bench while southpaw Framber Valdez takes the hill for Houston. Esteury Ruiz will fill in for Bleday in center field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:59 pm

  • Regaining playing time in CF
    Siri will start in center field and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Siri has now started in four of the Rays' last five games and may have taken back primary duties in center field from Jonny DeLuca. Though Siri brings good defense in center field, his hold on a regular gig may still be tenuous, as he's provided little production at the plate this season (.244 wOBA, 60 wRC+ in 120 plate appearances).
