  • Giancarlo Stanton carries Yankees against Orioles
    Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-4 with a home run, walk, and four RBI against the Orioles on Wednesday.

    Advice: Stanton single-handedly brought the Yankees back in this one. First, his three-run home run off Yennier Cano cut the Orioles’ lead to 5-4 and then his ninth inning single off Craig Kimbrel sent this game to extra innings. The homer was his 18th in what’s been a tremendous bounce back season for the aging power hitter. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:14 pm
     
  • Goes deep in win
    De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over St. Louis.

    Advice: De La Cruz led off the contest with a 429-foot solo shot off Matthew Liberatore. The 27-year-old outfielder has gone 4-for-14 with a pair of homers in his last three games -- De La Cruz is up to 13 long balls this year, putting him well on pace to surpass his career high of 19. Overall, he's slashing .245/.296/.424 with 34 RBI and 34 runs scored across 314 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:43 pm
     
  • Nolan Jones scratched due to illness on Wednesday
    Nolan Jones was scratched from the Rockies’ starting lineup on Wednesday night due to illness.

    Advice: Fortunately, he’s not dealing with any serious ailments and should be able to return to action in a day or two. Sean Bouchard will start in his place in left field and will bat sixth for the Rockies against Bobby Miller and the Dodgers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:27 pm

  • Scratched Wednesday
    Jones was scratched from the Rockies' lineup before Wednesday's game against the Dodgers due to illness, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Jones was reportedly feeling unwell ahead of Wednesday's contest, so he'll step out of the lineup and use the day to recover. Sean Bouchard will instead serve as Colorado's left fielder and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:21 pm

  • Resting Wednesday
    Calhoun isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game versus Milwaukee, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Calhoun was held hitless in seven at-bats through the first two games of the series, and he'll now sit down for Wednesday's series finale. His absence will move Logan O'Hoppe into the DH role while Matt Thaiss starts behind the plate. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:04 pm
     
  • Nolan Jones scratched from Rockies’ lineup
    Nolan Jones was scratched from the Rockies’ starting lineup on Wednesday.

    Advice: No word given yet on the reason for the late scratch, but it could simply be that they wanted to get Sean Bouchard in there after he was activated from the injured list on Wednesday. Stay tuned, as the Rockies should have an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:04 pm

  • Idle Wednesday
    Adell isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: After starting the series 0-for-6, Adell will receive a day off for Wednesday's rubber match. Kevin Pillar will instead get the nod to start in right field while batting fourth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:02 pm
     
  • Jo Adell absent from Angels’ lineup on Wednesday
    Jo Adell is absent from the Angels’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Brewers.

    Advice: The streaky 25-year-old outfielder has been more cold than hot as of late — slashing a cringe-inducing .118/.193/.196 with one homer, six RBI and a 23/4 K/BB ratio over 57 plate appearances in 16 games since the calendar flipped to June. He has still provided fantasy managers with power and speed, but eventually something is going to have to give if he can’t make consistent contact. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:59 pm
     
  • Sitting again Wednesday
    Perkins isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Although the Angels will start Wednesday's game with southpaw Tyler Anderson on the mound, the Brewers will put the lefty-hitting Sal Frelick in center field rather than the switch-hitting Perkins, who is just 1-for-16 in his last five games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:58 pm
