  • First career start at 1B
    Gonzalez started at first base and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-0 loss to Atlanta.

    Advice: Gonzalez was activated off the injured list Wednesday and was in the starting lineup against left-hander Chris Sale. It was Gonzalez's first career start at first base. The versatile infielder is expected to see significant playing time against southpaws, and the Red Sox will see two lefties in the upcoming three-game set against Washington. Boston manager Alex Cora told Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe that Gonzalez swings the bat well and feels he can lengthen the lineup from the seventh spot in the order. Nos. 7-9 in Boston's lineup were batting just .209 entering Wednesday's game. Rotowire.com Today, 8:35 pm
     
  • Peter Lambert hit for seven runs in loss to Giants
    Peter Lambert allowed seven runs over three innings in a loss to the Giants on Wednesday.

    Advice: Lambert’s outing lasted just three innings as he was hit for seven runs. Six of those runs came in the second, starting with a solo homer by Michael Conforto to lead off the frame. The Giants would bat around the order before Lambert could escape the inning. Two hits in the third would bring in a seventh run. Lambert ends the day with a 7.61 ERA, 1.69 WHIP, and a 20/9 K/BB ratio across 23 2/3 innings. He lines up for a start against the Padres in San Diego on Monday. Rotoworld Today, 8:29 pm

  • Decent showing against LAD
    Weathers (2-4) took the loss Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over six innings against the Dodgers. He struck out three.

    Advice: Weathers submitted his second straight quality start; however, he was stuck with the loss as the Marlins could only muster up one run off Gavin Stone and the Dodgers' bullpen. He gave up a two-run home run in the sixth to Teoscar Hernandez, marking Weathers' fifth consecutive start allowing a long ball. The southpaw has been serviceable for Miami this season, having allowed more than three runs once in eight starts with a 1.32 WHIP. Rotowire.com Today, 8:11 pm
     
  • Goes yard again
    Sanchez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 6-4 loss to Kansas City.

    Advice: Sanchez notched his second home run of the series Wednesday, tagging Nick Anderson for a solo homer in the seventh inning. The 31-year-old has slowly been climbing out of his early season slump, collecting eight hits in his last 23 at-bats, with four home runs during that stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 pm
     
  • Jacob Webb nails down second save in 12th inning
    Jacob Webb nailed down his second save of the season on Wednesday night, allowing just an unearned run to score in the 12th inning against the Nationals.

    Advice: In a wild back-and-forth affair, Webb was the one who finally calmed things down and put an end to it in the 12th. He allowed a leadoff double to Luis Garcia Jr. that played the inherited runner, then retired the next three hitters in succession to end it. On the season, Webb now holds a 1.65 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and a 20/5 K/BB ratio over 16 1/3 innings. With Craig Kimbrel on the ropes, Webb doesn’t look like a bad speculative add in deeper formats until the O’s get their bullpen straightened out. Rotoworld Today, 7:41 pm
     
  • Eddie Rosario leaves the yard in loss to Orioles
    Eddie Rosario belted his third home run of the season on Wednesday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Nationals to victory over the Orioles.

    Advice: With the Nationals trailing by two runs and down to their final out in the ninth inning, Rosario started an uprising with a solo shot off of Orioles’ closer Craig Kimbrel. He also drew a walk in the 11th inning and scored the tying run on a sacrifice fly by Jacob Young. Rosario finished the night 2-for-4 and is now hitting .143/.207/.274 with three homers, seven RBI and four stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Today, 7:41 pm
     
  • Mitchell Parker pitches well in no-decision vs O’s
    Mitchell Parker pitched well in a no-decision against the Orioles on Wednesday night, allowing just two runs on five hits over his 5 2/3 innings of work.

    Advice: The 24-year-old hurler punched out three batters on the night while issuing one free pass. All of the damage done against him came via the long ball, with Anthony Santander blasting a solo homer in the fourth inning and Gunnar Henderson adding a solo shot in the sixth. Parker got seven swings and misses on 77 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 26 percent. He’ll look to get back in the win column as he brings a 2.67 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 22/5 K/BB ratio (27 innings) into Tuesday’s matchup against the White Sox in Chicago. Rotoworld Today, 7:41 pm
     
  • Picks up first RBI, steal in loss
    Friedl went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and an RBI in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Friedl, playing his second game back from nearly two months on the injured list, drove in his first run of the season in the bottom of the ninth to make things interesting. He then stole his first base of the season, putting two runners in scoring position before Joe Mantiply escaped with the save for Arizona. Friedl, who batted leadoff Tuesday against a right-hander, slotted in at eighth in the order Wednesday against left-hander Jordan Montgomery. Rotowire.com Today, 7:32 pm

  • Doubles twice, scores in loss
    Carpenter went 2-for-4 with two doubles and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-4, 10-inning loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: Carpenter continued his solid play this season, as he's now batting .269 with an .801 OPS. He's collected eight doubles so far but only three home runs across 36 games. After breaking out for 20 long balls last year, Carpenter could dial up the power soon, which would only further enhance his fantasy value. Rotowire.com Today, 7:28 pm
