  • Taking seat against southpaw
    Canzone is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: With lefty Logan Allen on the hill for Cleveland, Canzone and fellow left-handed-hitting regulars Luke Raley and Josh Rojas will retreat to the bench. Mitch Haniger will cover right field in Canzone's stead. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

  • Pops fifth homer
    Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Astros.

    Advice: Benintendi has started in five games since being activated from the injured list June 12, and he's gone 4-for-12 with two of his knocks going for extra bases. Even with the positive stretch, he's hitting just .203 with 19 RBI and 15 runs scored across 56 games for the season. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
     
  • Still limited to small-side platoon
    McCormick went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the White Sox.

    Advice: McCormick was in the lineup because Houston was facing lefty Garret Crochet, though he remains on the small-side of a platoon with Trey Cabbage. As a result, McCormick has started only six of the team's last 10 games, during which he's hit .250 with one home run, five RBI and five runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 6:57 am
     
  • Out again versus lefty
    Pederson is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: As usual, Pederson is sitting against a left-hander, as the Nationals are starting southpaw MacKenzie Gore. Ketel Marte will get a day out of the field and serve as Arizona's designated hitter while Blaze Alexander starts at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 6:28 am
     
  • Swats seventh homer
    Winker went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Wednesday's 3-1 win over Arizona.

    Advice: He delivered what proved to be the game-winning hit in the sixth inning when he drove a Brandon Pfaadt splitter over the fence in left-center field. Winker snapped a 25-game homer drought with the blast, but he wasn't exactly slumping, batting .333 (25-for-75) over that stretch. On the season, the 30-year-old outfielder is slashing .266/.380/.406 with seven homers, 11 steals, 33 RBI and 34 runs in 70 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 6:26 am
     
  • Active in win
    Grossman started in left field and went 1-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

    Advice: Grossman ignited a rally in the bottom of the first inning when he drew the first of three two-out walks, stole a base (his third of the season), and eventually scored Texas' first run. He later raced home from first base on a double in the sixth. Grossman has recently become a fixture in the starting lineup against left-handers, usually batting third. He's batting .333 (9-for-27) with a home run, a double, six RBI, a stolen base and five additional runs scored during the month of June. Rotowire.com Today, 4:59 am
     
  • Remains at DH
    Smith started at designated hitter and 1-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Mets.

    Advice: Smith returned from a hamstring injury Tuesday but has been limited to DH duties in both games. The bat, however, still makes an impact. In the bottom of the sixth inning, he doubled in a run then scored a game-tying run. Smith is 3-for-7 with a home run, a double, four RBI and an additional run scored in the two games at DH.

  • 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 Today, 4:36 am
