  • Zach DeLoach picks up first career hit in blowout
    Zach DeLoach hit an RBI double on Thursday in the White Sox’ lopsided defeat at the hands of the Red Sox.

    Advice: DeLoach picked up his first career hit and RBI with a sixth-inning double off Red Sox starter Tanner Houck. The 25-year-old outfielder had been 0-for-5 in three games this season in the majors. He figures to continue playing regularly for the rebuilding White Sox, who set a franchise record on Thursday evening with their 14th consecutive loss. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:53 pm
     
  • Ceddanne Rafaela has four hits, plates four in win
    Ceddanne Rafaela went 4-for-6 with four RBI on Thursday in the Red Sox’ win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Rafaela matched a season-high with four hits in this one as Boston drubbed Chicago’s pitching staff for 14 runs on 24 hits in a lopsided affair. The 23-year-old defensive wizard continues to make an impact for the Red Sox, but remains a bit of a work in progress from an offensive standpoint. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:53 pm
     
  • Goes deep in loss
    Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Suzuki took Hunter Greene deep in the third inning for his seventh home run of the season. The outfielder now has three of those long balls over his last seven games, and he's batting a solid .308 during that span. Suzuki's numbers don't always jump off the page, but he's a fairly consistent contributor who gets plenty of playing time, which allows him to make an impact in most fantasy formats.

  • Duvall hits sixth home run in win Thursday
    Adam Duvall went 1-for-4 with a two-run home against the Nationals on Thursday.

    Advice: The home run was Duvall’s sixth of the season. He’s still hitting just .195 on the year. Duvall was in a deep slump before his game-tying home run in the seventh inning. He still needs to show more at the plate if he’s going to be the everyday right fielder for the Braves in the wake of Ronald Acuna Jr.'s season-ending injury. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:07 pm
     
  • Eloy Jiménez to start rehab assignment next week
    Eloy Jiménez (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment next week.

    Advice: The oft-injured slugger has been out since mid-May with a left hamstring strain and is expected to be sidelined for at least a couple additional weeks. The 27-year-old has struggled to a .668 OPS with five homers in 146 plate appearances this season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:30 pm
     
  • Tommy Edman progresses to hitting from both sides
    Tommy Edman (wrist) has been cleared to take batting practice from both sides of the plate.

    Advice: Edman continues to work his way back from offseason surgery on his right wrist and remains without a definitive timetable to return to St. Louis at the moment. The versatile switch-hitting 29-year-old figures to be ready around the All-Star break, but he’s going to need a couple weeks of at-bats in the minors to get back up to speed in the wake of such an extended layoff.

  • Rehab assignment on tap
    Manager Pedro Grifol said Thursday that Jimenez (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment next week, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Advice: Jimenez was initially given a one-month return timeline when he landed on the IL on May 22 with a left hamstring strain, but he appears to already be approaching a return to game action. It's unclear exactly when the 27-year-old will head to the minors or how long he'll remain there, but the White Sox will likely be eager to return him to their lineup as soon as possible given their offense's poor performance to start the year.

  • Set to run Thursday
    Manager Pedro Grifol said Thursday that Benintendi (Achilles) will begin a running program Thursday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Grifol also said that Benintendi will take batting practice Thursday in addition to running. The 29-year-old outfielder landed on the injured list Sunday due to left Achilles tendinitis, and how he feels after Thursday could help determine his chances of returning when eligible June 12.

  • White Sox outright Zach Remillard to Triple-A
    White Sox sent INF Zach Remillard outright to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Remillard passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment earlier this week. The 30-year-old infielder will likely stick around as extra organizational depth back at Triple-A Charlotte rather than elect free agency. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:20 pm
