  • 46-58-6 6th Place
    • 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.

    • 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 Today, 4:12 am
       
    • 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
       
    • Homer, triple in win
      Toglia went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, a triple and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Toglia is finding a rhythm at the plate, going 13-for-47 (.277) over 13 games since he was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on June 6. Five of his 13 hits in that span have gone for extra bases. The 25-year-old is up to a .191/.239/.436 slash line with six homers, 20 RBI, 14 runs scored, one stolen base, two triples and one double through 101 plate appearances this season. Toglia is playing on a near-everyday basis, splitting his time between first base and right field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:03 pm
       
    • Michael Toglia slugs three-run homer vs. Dodgers
      Michael Toglia went 2-for-4 with a home run, triple, and three RBI in a 7-6 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.

      Advice: Toglia got the scoring started for the Rockies in the first inning with a three-run blast off Bobby Miller. He then led off the fourth with a triple before scoring on a groundout. The 25-year-old first baseman is slashing .191/.238/.436 with six homers and 20 RBI across 101 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:26 pm
       
    • Spencer Horwitz with two hits out of lead-off spot
      Spencer Horwitz went 2-for-4 with a walk on Wednesday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: The Blue Jays are giving Horwitz an opportunity at the top of their lineup as he’s hit first or second in all 10 of his starts since being called-up. He’s done well there, too with more walks than strikeouts and a .353/.450/.412 slash line so far. There isn’t much power, but getting on base at the top of any lineup is valuable.

    • Abraham Toro (shoulder) not in lineup Wednesday
      Abraham Toro (shoulder) is not in the Athletics’ starting lineup on Wednesday.

      Advice: Toro has apparently been battling a sore shoulder since Sunday’s doubleheader. The Athletics are hopeful that he’ll be able to avoid a stint on the injured list, but if this goes on for another couple of days they may need to change their stance. Tyler Nevin will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat fifth for the A’s against Cole Ragans and the Royals on Wednesday evening. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:15 pm

    • Brandon Drury scratched with illness on Wednesday
      Brandon Drury was scratched from the Angels’ starting lineup on Wednesday night due to illness.

      Advice: The 31-year-old infielder had just returned from the injured list on Monday, so it’s encouraging to hear that it’s just an illness keeping him out of action and not a recurrence of his hamstring issue. He should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:43 pm
