  • Jesús Sánchez drives in game-winning run on Tueday
    Jesús Sánchez went 1-for-4 with a game-winning groundout in the Marlins win over the Tigers on Tuesday.

    Advice: Not exactly a thrilling way to earn a victory, but Sánchez had a hard-hit groundball in the top of the 10th inning that drove in a run and gave Miami a 1-0 lead. The 26-year-old is hitting just .237 on the season, but he’s making a lot of hard contact and his name was all over the Statcast bat speed and short swing leaderboards that came out this week. He’s a talented hitter, but he’s simply hitting too many groundballs right now. Still, he plays every game against right-handed pitching and hits in the middle of the Marlins’ lineup, so he’s a name you should keep an eye on. A slight approach change could lead to big results.

  • Wenceel Pérez has two hits in loss to Marlins
    Wenceel Pérez went 2-for-4 in Tuesday’s loss to the Marlins. Both of Pérez’s hits were singles, but he had three batted balls of at least 95 mph on the day and has been solid in his rookie campaign, slashing .304/.375/.506. His ability to play multiple positions around the diamond will likely help him remain in the lineup as the Tigers get healthier, and he’s certainly worth an add in deeper formats while he’s swinging the bat well.

  • Resting against southpaw
    Sheets isn't in the White Sox's lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

    Advice: With southpaw Mitchell Parker set to start on the mound for Washington, the lefty-hitting Sheets will take a seat for the nightcap. Andrew Benintendi, Rafael Ortega and Tommy Pham will start across the outfield while Sheets rests. Rotowire.com Today, 5:08 pm

  • Miguel Andujar starting rehab assignment Thursday
    Miguel Andujar (knee) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: Andujar will presumably need a couple weeks of games to get back up to speed before making it back to Oakland. The 29-year-old has been out since late March recovering from right knee surgery. Rotoworld Today, 5:05 pm

  • Sitting for nightcap
    Robles is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader with the White Sox.

    Advice: Robles will take a seat after he went 1-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly in the Nationals' 6-3 win over Chicago in Tuesday's matinee. Eddie Rosario will slide over to right field while Ildemaro Vargas enters the lineup in left field and bats eighth against the White Sox. Rotowire.com Today, 5:00 pm

  • Hit in head during BP
    Soler (shoulder) hit on the field Tuesday but walked off with a trainer after suffering an apparent injury, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Tuesday marked the first time Soler has hit off the field since landing on the IL, but his session came to an abrupt end when he fouled off a ball that ricocheted off the top of the cage and hit him in the head. It's unclear how severe the damage is, but the 32-year-old was at least shaken up enough for him to be shut down for the day. The Giants will take a closer look at him and may offer more information on his status in the near future. Rotowire.com Today, 4:55 pm

  • Jorge Soler leaves BP on Tuesday with trainer
    Jorge Soler (shoulder) left batting practice on Tuesday with a trainer.

    Advice: It’s not what you want to see. Soler was hitting on the field at Oracle Park for the first time since landing on the injured list last week with a right shoulder strain when he fouled a ball off the top of the cage that ricochetted back and struck him in the head.

  • Beginning assignment Thursday
    Andujar (knee) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Las Vegas on Thursday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Andujar has been going through workouts with the Aviators over the past few days, and he is now scheduled to get back into game action soon. The A's haven't indicated how long they intend on keeping the 29-year-old in the minors, but he will likely need to see a good amount of at-bats after spending the past two months recovering from knee surgery.
