  • Belts grand slam
    Harper went 3-for-3 with a grand slam, scored twice and drew a walk during Tuesday's 10-1 victory over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The 31-year-old slugger singled and later scored on a Nick Castellanos double to get Philadelphia on the board in the first inning, and his fourth-inning grand slam gave the Phillies a massive 8-0 lead. Harper has now hit a home run in each of his las three contests, recording six total hits and 10 RBI in that span. Rotowire.com Today, 10:57 am
     
  • Runs bases Wednesday
    Diaz (calf) ran the bases at Oakland Coliseum on Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Diaz has been out since late February, first with a groin injury and more recently a calf strain. That he's been cleared to run the bases signals that he shouldn't be too far off from a rehab assignment. Diaz is on the 60-day injured list, so he won't be eligible for activation until late May.

  • Loses out on regular role
    Rivera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Rivera started in eight consecutive games from April 27 through this past Saturday, but he appears to have lost hold of a regular role in the wake of Jake Burger's recent return from the injured list. He'll be on the bench Wednesday for the fourth consecutive contest. Rotowire.com Today, 10:48 am
     
  • Sitting in third straight
    Wisdom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Wisdom is on the bench for the third straight game and looks to be the odd man out of the Cubs' regular lineup following Cody Bellinger's return from the 10-day injured list. The 32-year-old could still play regularly against left-handed pitching. Rotowire.com Today, 10:14 am

  • Retreats to bench Wednesday
    Hoskins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

  • Lifts another homer
    Naylor went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 11-7 loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: Naylor has gone 6-for-24 with three homers and seven RBI over his last seven contests. He was swinging a hot bat earlier in the season, but he's traded a bit of contact for more power in recent weeks. Naylor is slashing .276/.364/.553 with nine homers, 28 RBI, 18 runs scored, seven doubles and two steals over 34 games. With top prospect Kyle Manzardo slumping to begin his major-league career, Naylor should continue to play on a near-everyday basis between first base and designated hitter.

  • Mark Canha still out with illness Wednesday
    Mark Canha is out of Wednesday’s lineup with an upper respiratory infection.

    Advice: This appears to be why the 35-year-old was out of the lineup Tuesday as well. “He’s not feeling well,” manager AJ Hinch said. “It hasn’t been a great road trip health-wise (for the team), so we’re kind of quarantining him at this point to get him away from the rest of us until further notice.” If this is the case, Canha could be out a couple more games. The Tigers finish up their road trip at Cleveland and head back home for a weekend series against with the Astros. Rotoworld Today, 9:00 am
