  • Tallies two thefts Thursday
    Taylor went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: It's been a brutal season for Taylor, as evidenced by the fact that this was his first multi-hit game. The utility man capitalized on reaching base three times by swiping two bags after entering Thursday with just one steal this season. Taylor is still slashing a putrid .131/.230/.192 on the campaign, but he's at least shown some signs of life of late, going 5-for-15 over his past six contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:34 pm

  • Adael Amador dealing with ‘mild’ oblique strain
    Adael Amador was removed from Thursday’s game against the Dodgers due to a “mild” oblique strain.

    Advice: Rockies manager Bud Black characterized it as a mild strain that’s similar to one he was dealing with earlier this year at Double-A Hartford. We’ll see. Amador went 1-for-3 with a single prior to being lifted from Thursday’s contest against the Dodgers in the eighth inning and could wind up requiring a trip to the injured list if he’s unable to play through the injury. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:34 pm

  • Suffers oblique strain
    Manager Bud Black said Amador was removed from Thursday's game against the Dodgers due to a "mild oblique strain," Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Amador appeared to be wincing after his at-bat in the seventh inning and was replaced in the field before the eighth frame. The 21-year-old suffered a similar injury earlier in the season while with Double-A Hartford, and it remains to be seen whether he'll require a trip to the injured list.

  • Tyler Fitzgerald serving as 27th man on Thursday
    Tyler Fitzgerald will serve as the 27th man for Thursday’s game against the Cardinals at Rickwood Field in Alabama.

    Advice: Fitzgerald has gotten into a career-high 27 contests this season for San Francisco and provides the club with a versatile bench option for Thursday’s showdown against the Cardinals at historic Rickwood Field in Alabama. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:37 pm
     
  • Dylan Moore homers and steals base in loss
    Dylan Moore homered and stole a base Thursday in a loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: Moore shellacked a Logan Allen pitch in the first inning to give Seattle a 2-0 lead. The steal gives the 31-year-old 13 on the season, and it’s the eighth homer of the season. Moore has scuffled in June with a .512 OPS, but he has homered in two of his last three games, and his power/speed combo will always be intriguing. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:41 pm

  • Absent from lineup
    Mateo is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Yankees.

    Advice: Mateo had a couple hits and a run scored in Wednesday's extra-inning victory over the Yankees, but he'll nonetheless begin Thursday's festivities on the bench. Jordan Westburg is at second base and Ramon Urias will play third. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:42 am
     
  • Begins hitting progression
    Hernaiz (ankle) has begun a hitting progression, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Hernaiz was able to shed his walking boot in the first half of June, and he's now graduated to baseball work from the strength and fitness program. The infielder will likely progress to full baseball activities after the hitting progression before eventually embarking on what could be a fairly robust rehab assignment.

  • Added as 27th man
    The Giants recalled Fitzgerald from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

    Advice: Fitzgerald will serve as the team's 27th man during Thursday's game against the Cardinals at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Ala. The utility player is likely to be sent back to Sacramento following the contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:11 am
     
  • Reaches three times in win
    Schuemann went 0-for-2 with three walks and a run in a win over the Royals on Wednesday.

    Advice: Schuemann's busy night on the basepaths surprisingly led to only one run, but it did push his OBP back up to an improving .318. The rookie has hit safely in three of the last four games, and his walk rate has now hit double digits (10.1 percent) after also sitting at that threshold in each of the last six minor-league stops before his promotion.
