  • Taking seat Thursday
    Gurriel is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: The Giants are sending right-hander Logan Webb to the hill, so it's not a bad time for a day off for Gurriel. Jake McCarthy and Randal Grichuk will occupy the corner outfield spots for the Diamondbacks. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • In Thursday's lineup
    Moreno (thumb) will catch and bat sixth in Thursday's game in San Francisco.

    Advice: Worth noting is that Moreno was initially in Wednesday's lineup, too, before being scratched for the second straight day with a right thumb bruise. He did appear as a pinch-hitter in that contest, and for now it appears he's slated for a full workload Thursday. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Amed Rosario triples in victory over Angels
    Amed Rosario went 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI against the Angels on Thursday.

    Advice: Rosario plated Richie Palacios with his triple in the first inning off Griffin Canning to give Tampa Bay a 1-0 cushion. The three-bagger cames a day after Rosario blasted a two-run homer, and the former top prospect has been swinging the bat well to begin the 2024 campaign as seen in his .339 average and .532 slugging mark. Rosario has been streaky throughout his career, and he appears to be on the right side of that line to begin 2024. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago

  • Mike Trout steals two bases in loss to Rays
    Mike Trout went 0-for-3 with a run scored while stealing two bases in a 2-1 loss to the Rays on Thursday.

    Advice: Both steals came in the sixth inning. It’s the first multi-steal game for Trout since May 20, 2018 and it’s a flashback to when the 32-year-old was one of the best producers of thefts in the sport. With those pair of swipes he’s up to five on the season, and it’s possible — but far from a guarantee — that Trout is going to be much more active on the bases than he has over the past few seasons. On top of those steals, Trout is now slashing .257/.357/.662 over the first 19 games of 2024. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees designate Kevin Smith for assignment
    Yankees designated INF Kevin Smith for assignment.

    Advice: To make room for Taylor Trammell, the Yankees waived Smith who joined the Yankees active roster last weekend to replace the injured Jon Berti. The 27-year-old infielder spent the past two seasons with Oakland where he slashed .182/.218/.314 across 297 plate appearances. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
     
  • Pushed off 40-man
    The Yankees designated Smith for assignment Thursday.

    Advice: Smith was selected from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, but the Yankees claiming Taylor Trammell off waivers from the Dodgers will leave Smith without a 40-man roster spot once again. The 27-year-old never appeared at the plate during his brief stint in New York, and a .516 OPS throughout his MLB career makes it likely he passes through waivers unclaimed.

  • Yankees claim Taylor Trammell off waivers
    Yankees claimed OF Taylor Trammell off waivers.

    Advice: Trammell was waived by the Dodgers earlier this week and it appears the Yankees had interest in the 26-year-old outfielder. Trammell went 0-for-6 with three strikeouts in Los Angeles and spent the previous three seasons with the Mariners where he slashed .168/.270/.368 across 351 plate appearances.

  • Claimed by Yankees
    The Yankees claimed Trammell off waivers from the Dodgers on Thursday.

    Advice: The Dodgers DFA'd Trammell on Tuesday, but he will retain a spot on a 40-man roster as he moves to New York. The 26-year-old doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, so he will take a spot on the Yankees' bench and add to the team's outfield depth. Kevin Smith was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Stands out in Wednesday's win
    Nevin went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a win over the Cardinals on Wednesday.

    Advice: Nevin drew the start in right field and delivered once again, pushing his average to .303 across 37 plate appearances. Nevin has now reached safely in five consecutive games, but Wednesday's two-bagger was his first extra-base hit of the campaign. Rotowire.com Today, 11:54 am
