  • Moving to second base
    Castro started at second base and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Yankees.

    Advice: Castro has played several positions this season and has moved frequently during games, but he's now set to start mostly at second base with Edouard Julien set to Triple-A. He'll likely soon accumulate enough games at second base (3 games played at second this season) to qualify at another position in most formats (he's already played more than ten games at third base, shortstop and outfield).

  • Swats pinch-hit home run
    Yastrzemski went 1-for-1 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's defeat to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Yastrzemski pinch hit for Luis Matos in the eighth and wound up taking Bryce Jarvis deep to right to make it an 8-5 deficit. The 33-year-old continues to be deployed in a strong-side platoon role against righties even though he's been struggling to produce for a large portion of the season. In 42 plate appearances since May 21, Yastrzemski is slashing just .154/.214/.410, though he does have 10 RBI on just six hits over that span and hasn't struck out in a game since May 28.

  • Six-month rehab timetable
    Lee underwent successful surgery Tuesday to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: The rehab for Lee is expected to take six months, so he should be ready for the start of spring training, barring any complications. Lee's first season with the Giants ended after just 145 plate appearances, with the center fielder finishing with a .262/.310/.331 line and two home runs. Rotowire.com Today, 6:12 am
     
  • Gets three ABs in rehab start
    O'Neill (knee) served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-3 while on rehab assignment for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

    Advice: O'Neill kicked off a rehab assignment and played six innings as the DH for the WooSox. The Red Sox are optimistic he'll need only the minimum 10 days while on the injured list. Wednesday represents O'Neill's earliest possible return. Rotowire.com Today, 4:58 am
     
  • Hitless in MLB debut
    Dunn started in left field and went 0-for-2 with a run scored in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Dunn was called up from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday and made his MLB debut. He batted eighth and was eventually pinch hit for by Will Benson in the sixth inning. Dunn gives the Reds a second right-handed bat off the bench to use against left-handers. Spencer Steer, who normally serves as the starting left fielder, has recently found himself at first base as the replacement for Christian Encarnacion-Strand (wrist).

  • Swipes fifth bag
    Reynolds went 2-for-4 with a stolen base Tuesday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Reynolds has enjoyed a productive stretch across his last 12 starts, collecting 14 hits across 52 at-bats. He's also tallied three home runs, 12 RBI and a stolen base in that span. Reynolds has hit second in every game this season and should remain a steady contributor across all five categories. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:29 pm
     
  • Collects hit in return
    Davis went 1-for-3 with a double Tuesday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Davis was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis and hit eighth while starting behind the plate. He tallied a double in the seventh inning, only his fourth extra-base hit across 86 plate appearances this season. Davis should find his way into Pittsburgh's lineup regularly so long as Joey Bart (thumb) is sidelined, likely splitting reps at catcher with Yasmani Grandal. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:23 pm
     
  • Homers in return to majors
    Suwinski went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Suwinski was recalled to the majors Tuesday after Ji Hwan Bae (wrist) was placed on the injured list and Michael Taylor on the paternity list. Suwinski immediately returned to the lineup, manning center field while hitting ninth. He accounted for the only run of the contest with a solo home run in the third inning, a positive sign after he managed only four homers across his first 49 games before being demoted to Triple-A Indianapolis on May 22.

  • Mike Yastrzemski hits three-run homer off bench
    Mike Yastrzemski delivered a three-run homer as a pinch-hitter Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Here’s the one player Bob Melvin wasn’t mad at after Tuesday’s loss. The homer was Yastrzemski’s sixth of the year. He might be challenged for playing time against righties with Michael Conforto back, but the Giants will likely stick with him unless both Luis Matos and Heliot Ramos can give them good reason not to. Yastrzemski didn’t start tonight because Arizona was throwing a lefty. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:51 pm
