  • Tracking toward Tuesday return
    Lowe (oblique) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's game in Miami after he completed a rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham over the weekend, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Lowe went 4-for-12 with a triple, three runs and two RBI over the three-game rehab assignment and played all nine innings in right field in Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old has made a swift recovery from his right oblique strain, a recurrence of a previous injury that had kept him on the shelf for the first five weeks of the season. Once activated, Lowe will likely move between center field, right field and designated hitter while occupying a prominent spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching. Lowe's impending return could result in the likes of Jose Siri and Richie Palacios losing out on playing time. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
     
  • Will play against lefties
    Westbrook is expected to start at second base against lefties, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: The Red Sox placed a pair of infielders on the injured list Sunday -- Vaughn Grissom and Romy Gonzalez each hit the IL with hamstring injuries. That opens a path to playing time for Westbrook (against lefties) and Enmanuel Valdez (righties). Westbrook, 28, made his MLB debut Sunday as a pinch hitter -- he walked for Wilyer Abreu. After a day off Monday, Boston resumes its scheduled Tuesday against Atlanta, which is scheduled to throw left-hander Max Fried. Rotowire.com Today, 6:09 am
     
  • Josh Lowe (oblique) likely to rejoin Rays Tuesday
    Josh Lowe (oblique) is expected to rejoin the Rays for Tuesday’s series opener against the Marlins in Miami.

    Advice: The dynamic 26-year-old outfielder played three games with Triple-A Durham over the weekend and Rays’ skipper Kevin Cash was “very encouraged” by how he looked. Lowe has been sidelined since May 23 due to a right oblique strain. Before he was shelved, he had been hitting .240/.296/.440 with a pair of homers and three RBI in his first 50 at-bats on the season. Rotoworld Today, 5:39 am
     
  • Runs streak to seven games
    Fraley went 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Fraley's double triggered a four-run second inning, putting the Reds on a path to win. He's hit in seven straight games, going 10-for-26 (.385) with two steals, two doubles, one RBI and three runs scored during the streak. While many of his teammates have slumped early in the season -- the Reds' .220 average ranks 29th in MLB -- Fraley leads the club at .295. Rotowire.com Today, 5:32 am
     
  • Slugs homer in easy win
    Garcia went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBI during Sunday's 6-0 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Garcia snapped a five-game hitless streak Sunday, delivering two hits and pushing his RBI total to 40 this season. He also notched his 13th long ball of 2024, taking Trevor Rogers yard in the sixth frame. Garcia ranks top 15 in homers and RBI this year and is slashing .231/.285/.462 through 212 plate appearances.

  • Knocks three hits in loss
    Soler went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: This was Soler's first multi-hit effort since May 22, and he went just 4-for-27 over the eight contests in between. The 32-year-old briefly got a look at leadoff in May, but he's since returned to the middle of the Giants' order. He's yet to find a groove for any extended period in 2024, slashing .215/.294/.372 with six home runs, 16 RBI, 22 runs scored and eight doubles over 48 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:04 pm
     
  • Snaps slump with homer
    Burleson went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Phillies.

    Advice: Burleson entered Sunday 0-for-17 over his last four games. He ended the drought -- his longest of the season -- with a third-inning blast to put the Cardinals ahead 4-2. Burleson has been forced into a larger role with the Cardinals lacking several starters, including Lars Nootbaar (oblique), who is expected to be out for nearly all of June. Burleson is slashing .273/.302/.418 with six homers, 20 RBI, 15 runs scored and two stolen bases over 50 contests and should have a chance to continue playing on a near-everyday basis for the foreseeable future.

  • Knocks sixth homer
    Chourio went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Chourio belted a three-run shot during Milwaukee's four-run second inning. It was his first long ball since May 15, snapping a 12-game drought. During that stretch, he was 6-for-36 (.167) with just two extra-base hits. The highly-touted prospect is still trying to find his footing at the MLB level; he's slashing .214/.257/.345 with 10 extra-base hits and a 10:49 BB:K through 52 games.

  • Drives in three runs
    Ramos went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Ramos went deep for a solo blast in the third inning and later knocked a two-run single in the sixth. It was his first career three-RBI performance at the MLB level and he snapped an eight-game homerless drought. Ramos boosted his slash line to .286/.355/.400 with 16 RBI and seven extra-base hits through 93 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:40 pm
