  • Out of Baltimore lineup
    O'Hearn is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Toronto.

    Advice: Right-hander Trevor Richards is serving as an opener for the Blue Jays, but he's always had reverse splits. It's possible O'Hearn will pinch hit when Toronto goes to the bullpen (Bowden Francis is slated for bulk relief), but he'll begin the game on the bench. Rotowire.com Today, 12:37 pm

  • Vladdy Jr. playing third base again Tuesday
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is hitting third and playing third base Tuesday against the Orioles.

    Advice: That will make two of three games that Guerrero Jr. is playing third base. The infielder has been swinging the bat better as of late, and Toronto is giving him a chance to handle the hot corner. Justin Turner is playing first base and Daniel Vogelbach will operate as the designated hitter while hitting fourth. Rotoworld Today, 12:24 pm
     
  • Back up to bigs
    The Astros called up Cabbage on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Cabbage will see his second stint with Houston in 2024 and will likely provide some added depth in the outfield with Kyle Tucker (lower leg) nursing a minor injury. Rotowire.com Today, 11:52 am

  • Notches steal in win
    O'Hearn went 1-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: O'Hearn's steal was his first of the season, as the 30-year-old is not typically known for his speed. He has been fairly steady at the plate, going 9-for-33 (.273) with two extra-base hits over his last nine games. O'Hearn is at a .270/.335/.447 slash line with seven home runs, 18 RBI and 21 runs scored over 167 plate appearances. He continues to play in a strong-side platoon role, mainly as the Orioles' designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 10:07 am

  • Hits third homer
    Urias hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat in Monday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Urias started the game on the bench but entered in the seventh inning as a defensive replacement. While he hasn't seen steady playing time, Urias is 6-for-10 with two homers over his last five contests. With Jorge Mateo (concussion) on the injured list, it's likely to be Connor Norby in the lineup regularly, but Urias could feature more frequently off the bench due to his strong defense and versatility. Urias is slashing .239/.289/.394 with three homers, six RBI and 12 runs scored over 76 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 9:58 am

  • Lifts homer Monday
    Santander went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Santander has hit safely in nine of his last 11 games, going 12-for-41 (.293) with four homers and eight RBI in that span. He continues to dig himself out of a rough start to 2024, though he's still at a .223/.301/.450 slash line over 54 contests. Santander has added 11 homers, 33 RBI, 31 runs scored, 11 doubles and a triple while seeing steady playing time in right field. Rotowire.com Today, 9:54 am
     
  • Launches sixth homer
    Guerrero went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: The 25-year-old crushed a Grayson Rodriguez slider in the fourth inning, sending it over the fence in straightaway center field with an exit velocity of 109.2 mph. Guerrero is beginning to flash a little more power -- over his last 11 games, he has three doubles and two of his six homers on the year -- but he's been making plenty of hard contact, slashing .367/.452/.495 since the beginning of May with 16 RBI and 16 runs in 28 contests.

  • Starts at 1B again
    Duran started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a double in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: Duran was in the starting lineup at first base for a third straight game -- all against lefties -- as it appears primary starter Nathaniel Lowe is losing work against southpaws. Duran is batting .235/.304/.275 against lefties this season -- which is lower than Lowe's line of .250/.327/.292 --suggesting the platoon may not be a long-term solution. Rotowire.com Today, 5:27 am

  • Settling into groove at plate
    Steer went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 13-3 win over Colorado.

    Advice: After a rough May in which he posted a .176 average and .629 OPS, Steer has gotten off to a strong start to June. He's delivered multiple hits in all three games on the month, going 8-for-14. Steer's recent form is reminiscent of his body of work early in the season, when he hit .324/.435/.563 with 18 RBI over his first 20 games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:15 am
