  • Grabs steal in win
    Siani went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Siani is batting just .207 (6-for-29) over 12 games in June, which is right in line with his .206 average for the season. He's added seven steals, one home run, nine RBI and 16 runs scored over 148 plate appearances. Siani has remained the Cardinals' primary center fielder over Dylan Carlson, and he should remain in that role with Lars Nootbaar (oblique) likely to be out for at least another week.

  • Andy Pages swats seventh homer in loss to Rangers
    Andy Pages connected on a solo homer in a loss to the Rangers for the Dodgers on Thursday.

    Advice: Pages took Michael Lorenzen deep for the Dodgers only run of the game. That gives Pages seven homers and 20 RBI, and the roundtripper along with a single sees the slash go up to .270/.320/.427. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:09 pm
     
  • Michael Lorenzen limits Dodgers to one over seven
    Michael Lorenzen held the Dodgers to just a run while firing seven innings to get a win Thursday.

    Advice: Lorenzen allowed just a solo homer to Andy Pages. The right-handed hurler wasn’t dominant with just two strikeouts, but he wasn’t challenged often while allowing four hits with one walk. Lorenzen has mostly been solid when available for the Rangers, and this outing lowers his ERA to 2.86. He gets the Mets on Tuesday, if Texas doesn’t make adjustments to the rotation.

  • Enters Thursday's lineup
    Jankowksi entered Thursday's lineup as the designated hitter and is hitting seventh, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Corey Seager (hamstring) was scratched with hamstring tightness, forcing Josh Smith to shortstop while opening a spot for Jankowski. Jankowski has now started four of the Rangers' last seven games, going 2-for-13 with stolen bases and two runs scored in that span. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:14 pm
     
  • Alek Thomas (hamstring) starts rehab assignment
    Alek Thomas (hamstring) started a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

    Advice: Thomas has been out since early April due to a left hamstring strain and an early-May setback that delayed his return even further. There’s a strong possibility he’s back before the end of June. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:37 pm

  • Out of lineup versus righty
    Hernandez isn't in the Dodgers' lineup versus the Rangers on Thursday.

    Advice: Hernandez is on the bench again with righty Michael Lorenzen on the mound for the Rangers. Recently acquired Cavan Biggio has the start at third and is batting eighth Thursday. Hernandez, who was serving as the primary third baseman in Max Muncy's absence, will now seem to just fill that role against lefties while Biggio will start against righties. For the season, Hernandez has a .724 OPS against lefties, but a .493 OPS against righties. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:25 pm

  • Not starting against southpaw
    Raley isn't in the Mariners' lineup Thursday against the White Sox.

    Advice: The left-handed bat of Raley will stay put in the dugout Thursday as left-handed starter Garrett Crochet toes the slab for Chicago. Victor Robles will fill the opening in left field while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:15 pm

  • Coming off injured list Friday
    Pham (ankle) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Friday's game in Arizona, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Pham played in three rehab games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League this week, going 3-for-11 with a home run. He's been out for most of this month with a sprained left ankle. Pham had been seeing most of his starts in center field for the White Sox prior to getting hurt, but with Luis Robert now back from the injured list, Pham should shift over to right field.
