• On base three times Thursday
    Chisholm went 1-for-3 with a double, two walks and two runs scored in Thursday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Pirates on Opening Day.

    Advice: Batting fourth for the Marlins, Chisholm scored the game's first run in the second inning before crossing the plate again in the third to give his team a 4-2 lead. The 26-year-old's main goal in 2024 is just to stay healthy -- in 157 games over the last two seasons combined, Chisholm has slashed .251/.312/.487 with 33 homers, 34 steals, 89 runs and 96 RBI.

  • Swipes first bag of 2024
    Sanchez went 0-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Pirates on Opening Day.

    Advice: He hit into fielder's choices in his first two at-bats, but the first brought home Jazz Chisholm for the game's first run, and Sanchez swiped second base after the second. The 26-year-old outfielder had only four steals on six attempts in his career prior to Thursday and recorded an average sprint speed in the 54th percentile last season, so a sudden breakout in that category seems unlikely, but Sanchez will be looking to take another step forward as a hitter after producing a .253/.327/.450 slash line with 14 homers and 52 RBI over 402 plate appearances in 2023.

  • Starting in center field
    Perkins is starting in center field and batting sixth in Friday's opener against the Mets.

    Advice: Most of Perkins' playing time this season will probably come versus lefties, and he's in there for Opening Day versus southpaw Jose Quintana. The switch-hitting Perkins was not great against left-handers in a 58-plate appearance sample last season with just a .603 OPS. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Belts second homer
    Betts went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, two walks and three total runs in Thursday's 7-1 win over St. Louis.

    Advice: Betts had a big two-game series against the Padres in Seoul, Korea, to kick off the regular season, and he carried his hot bat over to the Dodgers' domestic home opener. The outfielder-turned-shortstop launched a solo shot off Miles Mikolas in the third inning and reached base two additional times via walks. Through three contests, Betts is slashing a scorching .636/.733/1.273 with two homers, eight RBI, four walks and five runs. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Hits shelf with fractured toe
    The Red Sox placed Refsnyder (toe) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Refsnyder is likely to miss most or all of the first month of the season while he recovers from a fractured left pinkie toe. According to MLB.com, Refsnyder isn't being shut down from activity entirely while he recovers from the injury, as he's been able to play catch and take batting practice in recent days.

  • Batting leadoff in debut
    Chourio is starting in right field and batting leadoff for Friday's opener against the Mets.

    Advice: He will surely bat lower in the order against right-handers, but with lefty Jose Quintana on the bump for the Mets, Chourio gets the call at the top of the lineup in his major-league debut. The 20-year-old will also play some center field for the Brewers but will be in right field for this one. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
  • Jackson Chourio to leadoff in MIL season opener
    Jackson Chourio will leadoff in his MLB debut for Friday’s Opening Day matchup against the Mets.

    Advice: Chourio enters the majors as the second-ranked overall prospect and is expected to make an immediate impact for Milwaukee and fantasy managers. He signed an eight-year, $82 million long-term extension back in December, and looks to be the face of the Brewers franchise for years to come. Here’s the Brewers’ Opening Day lineup: Jackson Chourio RF, William Contreras C, Christian Yelich LF, Rhys Hoskins 1B, Willy Adames SS, Blake Perkins CF, Joey Ortiz 2B, Gary Sánchez DH, Andruw Monasterio 3B, Freddy Peralta SP Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
  • On bench vs. lefty in opener
    Frelick is out of the lineup for Friday's season opener against the Mets.

    Advice: The 23-year-old will begin the season as Milwaukee's primary center fielder against right-handed pitching, but he's on the bench for Opening Day with southpaw Jose Quintana on the mound for New York. Blake Perkins is starting in center field and batting sixth in Frelick's place. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
