  • Rays waiting on Josh Lowe (side) IL decision
    Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports the Rays will wait until Friday before making a decision whether Josh Lowe (side) will require a trip to the injured list.

    Advice: Topkin added that an injured list stint seems likely, but Tampa Bay wants to wait and see how he feels on Friday before making a final decision. Rays manager Kevin Cash delivered an ominous “not ideal” statement to reporters following Lowe’s early exit from Wednesday’s game against the Red Sox due to right side tightness. The 26-year-old five-category impact fantasy contributor dealt with a similar issue back in spring training and underwent an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of the issue. There should be an update on his status at some point prior to Friday’s series opener against the Royals. Rotoworld Today, 1:15 pm
  • Bryan Reynolds has three hits, homer in defeat
    Bryan Reynolds went 3-for-5 with a homer in a loss Thursday to the Giants.

    Advice: Reynolds hit one of three homer for the Pirates on Thursday. The 29-year-old also singled twice to push his average to .260 with a .772 OPS. Reynolds should continue to see those numbers climb as we get deeper into the season based on his track record. Rotoworld Today, 12:55 pm
  • Giancarlo Stanton scorches homer in win over Mariners
    Giancarlo Stanton swatted a solo homer and drew a walk in a win over the Mariners on Thursday.

    Advice: Stanton absolutely blistered a Luis Castillo offering into Monument Park to give New York a 1-0 lead. The 6-foot-6 power bat has gone deep 12 times in 2024, and he’s up to 27 RBI with the roundtripper. Rotoworld Today, 12:22 pm
  • Aaron Judge hits 15th homer in win over Mariners
    Aaron Judge hit a solo homer in a 5-0 win over the Mariners on Thursday.

    Advice: Judge also walked twice and scored after one of those free passes. The slugger slaughtered a Luis Castillo offering for his 15th homer of the season and it gave New York a 2-0 lead. Remember when Judge was scuffling? We don’t either. He remains as reliable a power threat as there is in the sport. Rotoworld Today, 12:22 pm

  • Getting breather Thursday
    Canha isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Thursday's game versus Toronto.

    Advice: Canha will get a day to regroup after going 0-for-15 with five strikeouts across his past four games. Matt Vierling, Wenceel Perez and Kerry Carpenter will start across the outfield while Riley Greene serves as Detroit's designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 11:40 am

  • Losing out on playing time
    Nevin is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Nevin seems to have lost hold of an everyday role in the Oakland outfield; he's now been on the bench in five consecutive matchups versus right-handed pitching. The 26-year-old should at least continue to see regular starts against left-handed pitching as a platoon mate for the lefty-hitting Seth Brown. Rotowire.com Today, 11:02 am

  • Gaining foothold in lineup
    Goodman will serve as the Rockies' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Goodman will make his fourth start in five games -- and his third at DH -- after going 4-for-12 with two doubles, an RBI, a run and a stolen base across his prior three contests. His inclusion in the lineup Thursday comes while the Rockies are resting four key regulars (Kris Bryant, Charlie Blackmon, Elias Diaz and Brendan Rodgers), but Goodman's recent usage suggests that he'll be a priority in the lineup over Elehuris Montero, who didn't start either of the past two days following Bryant's return from the injured list.

  • Receiving Thursday off
    Bryant is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Bryant will be joined on the bench by Elias Diaz, Charlie Blackmon and Brendan Rodgers as the Rockies rest four key regulars for the day game after a night game. After being activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Bryant started at first base in both of the first two games of the series in Oakland, going 1-for-8 with two walks between the contests. Elehuris Montero will replace Bryant at first base Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:44 am
  • Getting breather Thursday
    Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Blackmon will be joined on the bench by Elias Diaz, Kris Bryant and Brendan Rodgers as the Rockies rest four key regulars for the day game after a night game. Hunter Goodman will pick up the start at designated hitter in place of Blackmon. Rotowire.com Today, 10:42 am
