  • Notches fifth steal
    Ortiz went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Padres.

    Advice: Ortiz logged his second multi-hit effort in a row after going 11 contests without one. The infielder has maintained a strong .278/.383/.449 slash line with six home runs, five steals, 27 RBI, 31 runs scored, 13 doubles and two triples over 244 plate appearances this season. While the overall numbers are good, he has just three extra-base hits across 20 games in June. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:41 pm

  • Goes deep again
    Westburg went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-1 loss to the Astros.

    Advice: The Orioles' offense went from hot to cold in a hurry -- Westburg's home runs in back-to-back games are their only scoring plays in those contests. The infielder is still warm, going 16-for-57 (.280) over his last 14 games with four homers, four doubles, two triples and nine RBI in that span. For the season, he's up to 13 long balls, 45 RBI, 40 runs scored and six stolen bases with an .843 OPS over 71 contests. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:15 pm
     
  • Jordan Westburg homers (again) in loss
    Jordan Westburg went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Astros on Sunday.

    Advice: Just like on Saturday, Westburg homered but the Orioles offense couldn’t do much else. Westburg now has 13 home runs and 45 RBI so far on the season; however, he did also strike out twice on Sunday and his batting average is down to .277 on the season. Westburg swings often so it doesn’t always matter that he swings and misses a lot, but he will have stretches where those whiffs drag the batting average down a bit. Even with that said, he should remain in all fantasy lineups. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:42 pm
     
  • Sitting Sunday
    Gonzales isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Gonzales will get a chance to regroup Sunday after going 1-for-17 with five strikeouts over his last five games. In his place, Jared Triolo will get the nod at the keystone and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:58 am
     
  • Swipes 11th bag
    Palacios went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Pirates.

    Advice: The 27-year-old began the day on the bench, but when Amed Rosario (face) got hit by a 99.6 mph Jared Jones fastball in the first inning, Palacios entered the lineup and ended up being the only Ray with multiple hits in the game. Brandon Lowe (toe) also went down Saturday and figures to miss some time, so Palacios could move into a full-time role in the short term -- Tampa Bay isn't scheduled to face a left-handed starter until it begins a series against the Nationals next weekend. On the season, Palacios is slashing .237/.332/.333 with four homers, 14 RBI, 31 runs and 11 steals in 64 contests. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:58 am
     
  • Back in startling lineup
    Marte started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 12-1 loss to Philadelphia.

    Advice: Marte hadn't played the field since Wednesday; he served as the designated hitter Thursday then was held out of the starting lineup Friday. All appears to be fine for Marte, who was merely given a two-game respite from playing the field. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:13 am
     
  • Accounts for lone run in loss
    Westburg went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Westburg opened the scoring in the second inning, but that was the extent of the Orioles' run production. The team had just four hits, and Westburg struck out in his other three at-bats. He's been solid lately, going 15-for-53 (.283) over his last 13 contests with nine extra-base hits in that span, though he's also struck out 15 times. The infielder has a .277/.331/.506 slash line with 12 homers, 44 RBI, 39 runs scored and six steals through 70 contests. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:13 pm
     
  • Idle Saturday
    Drury (illness) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Drury had been scratched from the starting lineup on back-to-back nights, but he won't be listed as a starter for Saturday's series finale due to illness. He'll have a team day off Sunday to recover before Monday's matchup with Oakland. Luis Guillorme will play second base and bat ninth Saturday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:36 pm

  • Brandon Drury remains out of lineup on Saturday
    Brandon Drury (illness) remained out of the Angels’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s battle against the Dodgers.

    Advice: It’s the third straight game that Drury has missed due to illness. With the Angels off on Sunday, he’ll have plenty of time to rest up in time for Monday’s series opener against the Athletics. Luis Guillorme will start in his place at second base and bat ninth against Tyler Glasnow and the Dodgers on Saturday night. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:31 pm
