• Out of lineup Monday
    Stubbs is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Stubbs has now made four starts to Rafael Marchan's three since J.T. Realmuto (knee) landed on the shelf after undergoing meniscus surgery. Marchan will handle the catching duties Monday, forming a battery with starting pitcher Cristopher Sanchez. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:14 pm
  • Pops third homer
    Torrens went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Sunday's win over the Padres.

    Advice: Facing the team he made his big-league debut with back in 2017, Torrens took Jeremiah Estrada deep in the eighth inning. The 28-year-old catcher has started his Mets tenure off with a bang, batting .318 (7-for-22) in his first eight games for the club with three homers, but he remains firmly in the backup role behind Francisco Alvarez.

  • Timely knock in rare start
    McCann went 1-for-4 with an RBI single during a loss to the Twins in the first game of a doubleheader Sunday.

    Advice: The rookie backstop drew a rare start and was able to tack on the final run of the matinee game for the Athletics with his ninth-inning single. McCann boasts an impressive .278/.358/.444 slash line across his first 81 career plate appearances, but Shea Langeliers has been an ironman behind the dish and is garnering the bulk of playing time at McCann's expense.

  • Drives in three
    Delay went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Delay drew his first start since being recalled Saturday and delivered a key three-RBI double in the sixth inning to put the Pirates up 6-0. He's likely to remain the backup catcher behind Yasmani Grandal while Henry Davis (concussion) is sidelined, but Delay could push for more regular at-bats with Grandal performing poorly.

  • Extends hit streak to nine games
    Wong went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple and three RBI in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

    Advice: Wong delivered a two-run triple in the seventh inning then singled in a run an inning later. The catcher upped his hit streak to nine games, during which he's 12-for-31 (.387) with six walks, six RBI, one steal and four runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:15 am
     
  • Provides offense in win
    Pages went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Pages has homered in two of his last three games, and his second-inning blast was all the run support Miles Mikolas needed in Sunday's win. It's been a challenging first season for Pages, who has a .132/.239/.316 slash line over 46 plate appearances, but he's received more playing time this week at the expense of Ivan Herrera.

  • Slugs eighth homer
    Trevino went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Trevino is tapping into his power lately with three homers over the last five games. The catcher is up to eight long balls on the year while slashing a strong .271/.317/.451 through 47 contests. He's added 25 RBI and 19 runs scored, but he hasn't hit a double or stolen a base all year. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:27 pm
     
  • Blasts homer Sunday
    Soderstrom went 4-for-8 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored as the Athletics were swept in Sunday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

    Advice: Soderstrom had three of his hits, including the homer, during the nightcap. He's hit safely in 10 of his last 11 games, going 13-for-38 (.342) in that span. The 22-year-old is up to a .250/.357/.464 slash line with five homers, 13 RBI, nine runs scored and three doubles over 31 contests. Soderstrom continues to see steady playing time at first base against right-handed pitchers, and he could push for closer to an everyday role if he continues to hit well.

  • Tyler Soderstrom homers again as A’s fall to Twins
    Tyler Soderstrom clubbed his fifth home run of the season on Sunday night as the Athletics dropped the nightcap of their doubleheader against the Twins.

    Advice: Soderstrom’s 421-foot (105.9 mph EV) solo shot off of Chris Paddack tied the game at 5-5 in the third inning and chased the Twins’ right-hander from the ballgame. The 22-year-old slugger added an RBI single in the seventh inning, finishing the night 3-for-4. He has been a pleasant surprise in the middle of the A’s lineup this season, slashing .250/.357/.464 with five long balls and 13 RBI in his first 98 plate appearances. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:44 pm
