  • Not starting Thursday
    Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest in Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Soderstrom has now started just two of the last eight games for the Athletics and is hitless across his last six contests, so the 22-year-old would seem to be in danger of a demotion. Aledmys Diaz will get the nod at first base for Oakland on Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:24 am

  • Pops fifth homer
    Lee went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Lee took Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano deep in the ninth inning, but the White Sox couldn't build off his big hit. The catcher opened May going 12-for-29 over eight games, then cooled off by going 7-for-36 (.194) over his last 12 contests. He's at a .274/.309/.427 slash line with five homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored, three stolen bases and three doubles over 123 plate appearances on the year. Lee still has an edge for playing time over the light-hitting Martin Maldonado. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:30 pm
     
  • Korey Lee homers in loss
    Korey Lee went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

    Advice: Lee took Jordan Romano deep in the ninth inning and has quietly been a solid producer for the lowly White Sox. He was their designated hitter in this one and quietly has five home runs, three stolen bases, and a .274 batting average on the season. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:54 pm
     
  • Connor Wong collects two hits in loss to Orioles
    Connor Wong went 2-for-4 and scored the Red Sox’ lone run in Wednesday night’s loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Wong smacked a one-out single off of Corbin Burnes in the opening inning and took second on a throwing error by Colton Cowser. He then went to third on an errant pickoff throw and scored the game’s first run on a ground ball off the bat of Dominic Smith. That would be the extent of the Red Sox’ offense though. With his two-hit attack, the 28-year-old backstop is now slashing .329/.368/.471 with five homers, 19 RBI and a stolen base on the season. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:09 pm

  • Sitting down Wednesday
    Wells isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Wells has gone 3-for-12 with an RBI and five strikeouts across his last three games, and he'll now take a seat versus Tyler Anderson and the Halos. Jose Trevino will get the nod to start behind the dish and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:26 pm
     
  • Idle against southpaw
    Naylor isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: The Rockies will send lefty Ty Blach to the mound to begin Wednesday's contest, so the left-handed bat of Naylor will retreat to the bench. Austin Hedges will step in to play catcher while batting eighth. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:18 pm

  • Catching while Lee serves as DH
    Maldonado will start at catcher and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Korey Lee remains the White Sox's No. 1 backstop, but he'll serve as the designated hitter Wednesday to open up a start behind the plate for Maldonado. The 37-year-old backstop has gone hitless in his last six starts and carries a lowly .083/.135/.131 slash line into Wednesday's contest. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:53 pm
     
  • Taking seat Wednesday
    Amaya is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Milwaukee.

    Advice: Amaya caught the last two games and six of the previous eight contests, but he'll receive some rest Wednesday. Yan Gomes will be behind the plate for the Cubs. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:47 pm

  • Not in lineup Wednesday
    Murphy is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Murphy started the first two games of the series against the Nationals in his return from the injured list, going 2-for-7 with an RBI. He will give way to Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:32 pm
