  • Starts against right-hander
    Fairchild started in center field and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Pirates.

    Advice: Fairchild filled in for the injured TJ Friedl (hamstring), getting a rare start against a right-hander. Fairchild is 4-for-44 against righties this season and owns a career .205 mark off them. The Reds are off Thursday, giving Friedl one more recovery day before they kick off a home series against Boston on Friday. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Gets another start
    Espinal started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Espinal received a second consecutive start at the hot corner, as Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) was unavailable. This could be a situation where manager David Bell is giving Candelario multiple days off, including an off day Thursday, so that he can ready to go Friday when the Reds open a home series against the suddenly hot Red Sox.

  • Frist hitless game
    Perdomo went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Washington.

    Advice: Perdomo, who was given a rest day after two games following his activation off the injured list last week, has started five consecutive since then. Wednesday's 0-fer was his first after hitting safely in his first six contests (8-for-22). Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Lifts fourth homer
    Urias went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

    Advice: Urias went deep in the fifth inning for his first homer since June 3. The infielder has hit safely in his last six games, going 8-for-23 (.348) in that span. He had to settle for a utility role early in the year, but he's been staking a larger claim with strong hitting in June. For the season, Urias is slashing .252/.298/.421 with four homers, 10 RBI, 15 runs scored and no stolen bases over 114 plate appearances. He may be set for a short-term bump in playing time if Jordan Westburg (hip) has to sit out more games following his injury Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:12 pm
     
  • Picks up first steal
    Schneemann went 0-for-3 with a walk, one stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Mariners.

    Advice: Schneemann has gained traction in the lineup as a utility player -- Wednesday marked his fifth straight start. He got the nod at shortstop over Brayan Rocchio for this contest. Schneemann has done his part to stay in the lineup by hitting .333 through his first 12 major-league games. He's added four extra-base hits, six RBI, five runs scored, and his steal Wednesday was the first of his career. He also has a 7:9 BB:K so far, with his good plate discipline being a perfect fit for a Guardians team that prioritizes getting on base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:57 pm
     
  • Two thefts in loss
    Siani went 0-for-2 with two stolen bases in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Siani twice got aboard on fielder's choices, and he was able to notch a steal each time. He's picked up three thefts over his last six games and now has nine steals on 12 attempts this year. The outfielder is slashing a middling .214/.258/.290 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 18 runs scored, three doubles and one triple over 164 plate appearances. Siani has maintained his place in the Cardinals' lineup primarily for his defense, and his speed is a positive even though he doesn't get on base frequently. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:49 pm
     
  • Racks up three hits in win
    Andujar went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Andujar has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, and he has multiple hits in six of those contests. During the hot stretch, he's batting .381 (16-for-42) with two extra-base hits. The outfielder is up to a .330/.340/.440 slash line with two home runs, one stolen base, 14 RBI, 12 runs scored and four doubles over 94 plate appearances, which has been more than enough for him to see steady playing time in left field since his season debut May 24.

  • Homers again in win
    Gelof went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Gelof has homered in back-to-back games and has hit four of his seven long balls this year in June. The second baseman has gone 8-for-29 (.276) over his last eight contests. For the season, he's at a .196/.250/.348 slash line with 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and eight stolen bases, though hitting at or near the bottom of a weak lineup is unlikely to do any favors for his counting stats.

  • Miguel Andujar collects three hits as A’s top Royals
    Miguel Andujar went 3-for-5 with one RBI and a run scored in the A’s 5-1 win over the Royals on Wednesday.

    Advice: Andujar remains red-hot at the plate, with his sixth multi-hit game in 10 days. He knocked a base hit in the first inning, then drove in a run with a single in the third. Andujar reached for a third time with a single in the seventh and cross home plate to score on a base hit by Tyler Nevin. The 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .330/.340/.440 with two homers and 14 RBI across 94 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:25 pm
