    • Noelvi Marte tallies three hits in season debut
      Noelvi Marte tallied three hits on Thursday in his season debut against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Marte showed zero signs of rust in his season debut, which is impressive considering he struggled during his recent minor league rehab assignment, after serving an 80-game suspension following a positive test for a performance-enhancing substance to open the year. The 22-year-old top prospect, who went 3-for-5 with an RBI and three runs scored on Thursday evening, should be rostered in all fantasy formats as a potential four-category impact contributor. There aren’t a ton of questions regarding the talent and he has a clear path to everyday at-bats at the hot corner moving forward with Christian Encarnacion-Strand out for the season.

    • Sitting Thursday
      Canha is absent from Thursday's lineup against the Angels.

      Advice: Canha had started Detroit's last 22 games but hit only .211 in that span. He had a 15.9 percent strikeout rate in that span -- lessening the reason for concern -- though he'll still get a day of rest. Gio Urshela is sliding to first base, Matt Vierling to third, and Adkil Baddoo enters the lineup in left field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:40 pm
       
    • Brandon Drury out again Thursday due to illness
      Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Tigers.

      Advice: It’s honestly a total mystery why Drury hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet since he’s set to miss his seventh consecutive contest since last Wednesday due to an ongoing battle with a respiratory virus. At this point it’s unclear when he’ll be ready to return. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:55 pm

    • Not starting Thursday
      Drury (illness) isn't in the Angels' lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Drury will be missing his seventh consecutive game as he continues to fight off an upper-respiratory virus. There hasn't been any sort of indication from the Angels that they will place him on the injured list, so the 31-year-old should still be considered day-to-day. Luis Rengifo will start at second base Thursday with Miguel Sano at third. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:54 pm

    • Guardians recall prospect José Tena on Thursday
      Guardians recalled INF José Tena from Triple-A Columbus.

      Advice: Tena got a quick 18-game cup of coffee last year in the majors, batting .226 (7-for-31) with three RBI across 34 plate appearances. The 23-year-old infielder gets another look in the big leagues after batting .293/.341/.480 with 14 homers and 10 steals over 326 plate appearances for Triple-A Columbus. It’s unclear how long he’s going to stick around as part of Cleveland’s overcrowded infield mix. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:45 pm
       
    • Jeimer Candelario out Thursday with knee tendinitis
      Jeimer Candelario (knee) remains out of the lineup for Thursday’s contest against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Candelario will get another day off to rest and recover as he continues to manage right knee tendinitis. The expectation is that he’ll be able to manage the ongoing issue moving forward, but if he’s unable to return in a couple days, the Reds might not have a choice besides sending him to the injured list.

    • Not in Thursday's lineup
      Rocchio is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Kansas City.

      Advice: The Guardians are opting for Gabriel Arias at shortstop in their series opener against the Royals. Rocchio has been one of the lightest-hitting regulars in baseball this season, slashing an anemic .211/.312/.299. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:00 pm
       
    • Remaining out Thursday
      Candelario (hamstring) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Thursday's game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Manager David Bell said Wednesday that Candelario has been dealing with hamstring tendinitis for the past week, and while the team still doesn't plan on placing the 30-year-old on the injured list, the injury will cause him to miss a second consecutive game. Spencer Steer will get the nod at first base as a result, allowing Nick Martini to start in left field and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:59 pm
       
    • Reds activate prospect Noelvi Marte for ’24 debut
      Reds activated INF Noelvi Marte from the restricted list.

      Advice: Marte returns to Cincinnati’s lineup for Thursday’s game against the Cardinals after serving an 80-game suspension following a positive test for a performance-enhancing substance. The 22-year-old infielder will get the majority of his starts at third base for the Reds moving forward after emerging as one of the top prospects in the fantasy landscape last year before batting .316/.366/.456 with three homers and six steals over 35 contests in the majors. He struggled in a quick 12-game ramp up earlier this month with Triple-A Louisville, batting .151 (8-for-53) with just one extra-base hit, but some rust is to be expected on the heels of such a lengthy absence. It might take him a few weeks to get going, but he’s absolutely worthy of a speculative roster spot in all leagues based solely on his immense talent. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:53 pm
