  • Launches grand slam Thursday
    Bart went 2-for-4 with a double and a grand slam in Thursday's 7-6 loss to the Giants.

    Advice: Bart made quite an impression on his former team, launching a 434-foot grand slam off Mason Black in the fourth inning to put the Pirates ahead 5-1. The 27-year-old Bart's been hot of late, going 9-for-23 (.391) with three extra-base hits in his last seven games on the heels of an 0-for-14 stretch. Overall, he's slashing .267/.362/.517 with four homers, 12 RBI and seven runs scored across 21 games. With Yasmani Grandal nursing a groin injury, Bart could be in line for a regular starting role in the short term. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago

  • Jose Trevino leaves game Thursday with illness
    Jose Trevino was removed from Thursday’s game against the Mariners due to illness.

    Advice: Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters afterwards that Trevino wasn’t feeling well, which led to him being lifted for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning of Thursday afternoon’s showdown. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 54 minutes ago

  • Pulled due to illness
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Trevino was removed from Thursday's game versus the Mariners due to illness, Bryan Hoch Bryan Hoch of MLB.com.

    Advice: Trevino was lifted in favor of pinch hitter Austin Wells in the bottom of the eighth inning after going 1-for-3 with a single in his first three plate appearances. Boone expects Trevino to be fine to travel with the team for its road trip beginning this weekend, so consider the catcher day-to-day. Rotowire.com Today, 12:48 pm

  • Joey Bart hits grand slam in loss to Giants
    Joey Bart hit a grand slam Thursday in a loss to the Giants.

    Advice: Bart was ejected late in this game, but before that dismissal, he did some damage against the team that drafted him with the second-overall pick in the 2017 MLB Draft. The backstop took Mason Black deep with the bases loaded to give Pittsburgh a 5-1 lead, but the Giants would end up coming back to win the contest. Bart also doubled, and appears to be having a breakout season with a .267/.362/.517 triple slash. Rotoworld Today, 12:44 pm

  • Sitting Thursday
    Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The Tigers seem content alternating between Rogers and Carson Kelly behind the plate, and Thursday will mark Kelly's turn to start while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 11:37 am
     
  • Getting rest Thursday
    Amaya is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Amaya will receive a breather as Chicago and Atlanta wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Yan Gomes will check in behind the dish to replace Amaya, who had started at catcher in five of the Cubs' previous six games. Rotowire.com Today, 10:30 am
     
  • Sitting against right-hander
    Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Soderstrom had started each of the previous six games against right-handers, but he'll begin Thursday's contest on the bench as the Athletics take on righty Ryan Feltner. Soderstrom sports a .689 OPS and 42.1 percent strikeout rate in 11 contests with the big club this season. J.D. Davis will cover first base Thursday in Soderstrom's stead.

  • Not in Thursday's lineup
    D'Arnaud is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: He started the first two contest of the series, but with Thursday's finale being a day game, d'Arnaud will get a breather. Atlanta will go with Chadwick Tromp as its catcher for starting pitcher AJ Smith-Shawver. Rotowire.com Today, 8:53 am
     
  • Raps out two hits in loss
    Sanchez went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Sanchez has seen a surge in playing time of late, though he's been aided by the Brewers facing three consecutive left-handed starting pitchers. At the very least, Sanchez seems to have carved out a short-side platoon role, with he and top backstop William Contreras starting at either catcher or designated hitter when the Brewers face a southpaw. After Wednesday's two-hit effort, Sanchez is now holding down a .764 OPS over 99 plate appearances on the season, making him one of the more productive No. 2 catchers in baseball.
