  • Bangs out triple in 2024 debut
    Myers went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

    Advice: Getting the start in right field and batting seventh in his season debut with the Marlins, Myers ripped a three-bagger off Patrick Corbin in the first inning and came around to score on Vidal Brujan's own triple in the very next at-bat. While he's in the majors, Myers will likely be deployed primarily against southpaws behind Miami's outfield trio of Jazz Chisholm, Jesus Sanchez and Nick Gordon, all of whom hit left-handed. If he gets hot at the plate though, the offense-starved Marlins could give Myers more playing time than expected. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Crosses plate twice in loss
    De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

    Advice: It was the 27-year-old's first multi-hit performance since April 17. De La Cruz has cooled down significantly, batting .205 (8-for-39) over the last 10 games, but he remains entrenched as the No. 2 hitter for a Miami team struggling to find consistent offense. On the season, he's slashing .261/.294/.437 with five homers, a steal, 13 runs and 14 RBI in 29 contests. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Integral in win
    Duran went 1-for-4 with a walk, triple and two RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Duran tripled in two runs in the sixth inning then drew a leadoff walk in the bottom of the ninth before scoring the winning run on Tyler O'Neill's walk-off single. Duran has started all 29 games thus far, including 27 of them as the team's leadoff batter. He's second on the Red Sox with 17 runs and leads the club in triples with three. Because of Ceddanne Rafaela moving from center field to shortstop, Duran is locked in as Boston's starting center fielder. Rotowire.com Today, 5:47 am
     
  • Walks it off
    O'Neill went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: O'Neill delivered a walk-off single after the Red Sox squandered a 4-0 lead. His blooper to left against an infield playing in plated Jarren Duran with the winning run. For O'Neil, who was 0-for-3 at the time, the single extended hit streak to seven games, during which he's 11-for-27 with three home runs, five RBI and six runs scored.

  • Provides clutch three-run homer
    Tauchman went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Tauchman instilled some life in the Cubs, as he was able to tie the game up with a three-run homer in the eighth off of Chris Martin. The 33-year-old has been the Cubs' best hitter over the last week and a half, slashing .400/.500/.743 with three homers, nine RBI, eight runs and a 6:8 BB:K over 11 games since April 17. The Cubs will have a crowded outfield once they get the likes of Cody Bellinger (ribs) and Seiya Suzuki (oblique) back from their respective injuries, but for now Tauchman is seizing his opportunity as an everyday player.

  • Heading back to Tacoma
    Clase is expected to be optioned back to Triple-A Tacoma before Monday's series opener against Atlanta, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The speedy rookie reached safely in his first four games after being called up April 15, but Clase had seen his playing time evaporate over the last three games. He'll head back to Tacoma to continue getting regular at-bats, and veteran utility man Sam Haggerty is expected to be promoted to the big-league club in a corresponding move.

  • On the way back to majors
    Haggerty is expected to be called up from Triple-A Tacoma ahead of Monday's series opener against Atlanta, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The move isn't yet official, but during his time at Tacoma, Haggerty has worked off any rust he may have accumulated during a multi-week absence due to a personal medical issue. The veteran utility man has generated a .344 average and .417 on-base percentage during his 16 games with the Rainiers, and as he's done in past seasons, he's expected to fill a super-utility role with the big club. In a corresponding move, rookie Jonatan Clase is expected to be optioned back to the Rainiers after a two-week stay with the Mariners. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:02 pm

  • Early exit Sunday
    Jones was forced to exit Sunday's game against the Rockies in the seventh inning due to back stiffness, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Jones has battled back stiffness since Tuesday and was forced to miss two games with the issue. After managing to play the entirety of Saturday's contest, Jones was back in the starting lineup Sunday but was forced to exit early after going 1-for-2 with a double and a run scored. The team has not yet decided whether Jones will require a stint on the injured list, but manager Bud Black did say that he is concerned that the issue is recurring.

  • Three-hit effort in win
    Fitzgerald went 3-for-3 with a double and one run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Fitzgerald has recorded three multi-hit games this season, and he's batting .313 with a .915 OPS over 34 plate appearances. He remains in a utility role, but he's done well when in the lineup, posting one home run, three RBI, six runs scored, two doubles, a triple and four stolen bases. Fitzgerald's lack of an everyday role limits his fantasy viability, and his best chance at playing time is at shortstop, though Nick Ahmed has held his own there by batting .262 over 27 contests. Fitzgerald has also played in center field occasionally versus southpaws when Jung Hoo Lee is out of the lineup, though that has not been a strict platoon situation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:30 pm
