  • Bryce Harper out Tuesday vs. Mets due to migraine
    Bryce Harper has been scratched from the lineup Tuesday due to a migraine.

    Advice: Harper was slated to hit third for Tuesday’s game, but instead the two-time MVP will get Tuesday off while he recuperates. Alec Bohm moves over to first base with Whit Merrifield taking over at third. For now, Harper should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 9:54 am
  • Records second steal Monday
    Brown went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a loss to the Astros on Monday.

    Advice: Brown rapped out a single for the third time in the last four games, while the steal was his second of the season. The 31-year-old's power drought is increasingly concerning, however, considering he has just six extra-base hits in 113 plate appearances after averaging one every 10.2 trips to the batter's box over the previous three seasons.

  • Swats third homer
    Merrill went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's loss to Colorado.

    Advice: Merrill was the only Padre with multiple hits in the contest, and his seventh-inning solo shot brought the team to within one run, though it turned out to be the final tally of the game. The rookie has notched consecutive multi-hit performances and has multiple hits in four of his past eight contests overall, so he could be back on the rise following an eight-game stretch from late April to early May during which he went 1-for-23 at the plate. Merrill still has a strong .291/.342/.403 slash line along with three homers, 17 RBI, 18 runs and six stolen bases on the season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:42 am
  • Could return Friday
    Rengifo (illness) fielded grounders Monday and could return from the injured list when eligible Friday, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Rengifo came down with a viral infection in early May and landed on the IL when the illness caused painful blisters on his feet. His ability to take grounders Monday is a good indication that he's doing better, and there's a chance he could spend the minimum amount of time on the injured list. Upon his return, Rengifo should slide back into a starting role at third base -- Niko Goodrum, Luis Guillorme and Cole Tucker have been filling in at the hot corner in his stead.

  • More timely hitting Monday
    Bleday went 2-for-4 with an RBI double in a loss to the Astros on Monday. He was also caught stealing on his one attempt.

    Advice: Bleday plated the Athletics' second and final run of the night with his fifth-inning two-bagger, driving in Abraham Toro. The lefty-swinging slugger has been mostly clicking at the plate in May, producing a .286/.400/.524 slash line with a 15.7 percent walk rate, six extra-base hits and nine RBI over 51 plate appearances.

  • Hot hitting continues Monday
    Soderstrom went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a double in a loss to the Astros on Monday.

    Advice: Soderstrom delivered half the offense for the Athletics on the night with his fourth-inning knock, which plated Brent Rooker. The 22-year-old extended the red-hot start to his first big-league stint of 2024 with his multi-hit effort, as he's now reached safely in all four games he's appeared in and now has doubles in back-to-back contests.

  • Rowdy Tellez sitting Tuesday against Brewers
    Rowdy Tellez will be out of the starting lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Pirates manager Derek Shelton told 93.7 The Fan in Pittsburgh that Tellez will take a seat with Connor Joe instead getting the start at first base. Shelton cited the reverse splits against Ross with righties fairing better with lefties, so Tellez gets a break while being available off the bench. Rotoworld Today, 9:18 am
  • Playing outfield in rehab games
    McCormick (hamstring) is scheduled to play in the outfield for the next two games with Double-A Corpus Christi, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: McCormick served as the designated hitter with Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday in his first rehab appearance, and he'll now progress to playing full games in the outfield. Assuming that goes well, there's a strong chance he'll be activated for the Astros' weekend series against Milwaukee. Rotowire.com Today, 8:59 am
  • Five-game hitting streak
    Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a walk Monday against the Athletics.

    Advice: Alvarez extended his hitting streak to five games with the performance, four of which have multi-hit efforts. He's scored four runs in that span and also driven in two. The strong stretch has also brought his batting average up to .264 across 180 plate appearances on the season and that mark should continue to rise as the campaign progresses.
