  • Earns three walks across twin bill
    Jimenez went 0-for-5 with three walks and a run scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals.

    Advice: Jimenez was in the lineup for the first time since being activated from the injured list, and he served as the designated hitter in both contests while batting cleanup. It's also possible that Jimenez will see time in the outfield, though the team may be cautious with his usage given his lengthy injury history. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:14 pm
     
  • Forcing outfield rotation
    Sheets went 1-for-7 with a walk and a solo home run across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals.

    Advice: Sheets had been serving as the White Sox's primary designated hitter in the absence of Eloy Jimenez, while also picking up some playing time at first base. With Jimenez back in the mix, Sheets started both of Wednesday's games in right field, forcing Andrew Benintendi to the bench in one contest and Gavin Sheets in the other. It will take some additional time to see how playing time sorts out in the team's outfield, particularly if Tommy Pham also reaches the big-league roster. For now, it appears that Dominic Fletcher may be the only full-time starter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:08 pm
     
  • Cooling off
    Joe went 0-for-3 with a walk Wednesday against the Mets.

    Advice: Joe got off to an excellent start to the season, which has helped him earn more playing time than expected while splitting time between right field and first base. He's been in the lineup for six of Pittsburgh's last seven games but has now gone just 4-for-22 in that span. Joe will likely need to turn things around quickly to maintain his playing time against righties, with Edward Olivares being his primary competition for plate appearances.

  • Blasts third home run
    Carpenter went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.

    Advice: Carpenter has been playing well lately, recording a .321 batting average and four extra-base hits across his last 10 games. While he generally sits against southpaws, Carpenter feasts on righties, and that should allow him to remain a solid fantasy asset moving forward. The 26-year-old broke out a bit last year with 20 home runs, 64 RBI and an .811 OPS, and he could surpass all of those numbers in 2024. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:41 pm
     
  • Goes yard again
    Rosario went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored Wednesday against the Angels.

    Advice: Rosario generated his second homer of the campaign -- each coming in the past four games -- tagging Hunter Strickland for a two-run shot in the eighth inning to bring the Rays to within one run. The outing marked Rosario's fourth multi-hit performance of his last five games, a stretch in which he's batting .455 with six RBI and four runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:18 pm

  • Three hits, homer in win
    Soto went 3-for-3 with a homer, a double, two total RBI and a pair of walks in Wednesday's 6-4 comeback victory over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Soto got the Yankees on the board with a two-out double in the fifth inning, cutting Toronto's lead to 2-1, before smacking a solo homer off Genesis Cabrera in the eighth for the 500th RBI of his career. The 25-year-old Soto has gotten off to a great start in New York -- he's now batting .352 with a 1.055 OPS, four homers and 17 RBI through his first 90 plate appearances this season.

  • Amed Rosario blasts second homer vs. Angels
    Amed Rosario went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer on Wednesday against the Angels.

    Advice: Rosario knocked a base hit in the second inning and scored on a sacrifice fly. He later came up in a big spot in the eighth with a runner on and gave the Rays the lead with a two-run blast off Hunter Strickland. The versatile 28-year-old making plenty of loud contact in the early going, slashing .328/.339/.500 with two homers, nine RBI, and a steal across 59 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:42 pm

  • Big day in Wednesday's start
    Taylor went 3-for-4 with a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-1 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, Taylor reeled off his second multi-hit performance of the season while swiping his second base. The 30-year-old has been outstanding so far as the Mets' fourth outfielder, batting .341 (14-for-41) through 15 appearances with a homer, three runs and 10 RBI, and manager Carlos Mendoza hasn't hesitated to give Taylor consistent playing time in the early part of the season.

  • Tyler O’Neill (concussion) may not return Thursday
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora noted Wednesday that Tyler O’Neill (concussion) may not return to the lineup on Thursday.

    Advice: The 28-year-old outfielder is doing okay according to Cora, and while he has passed all of his concussion tests, he has yet to do any baseball activities. It’s possible that he could wake up on Thursday feeling great, have a good workout and talk his way into the lineup, but it sounds like he may wind up missing another couple of games. It’s a situation that fantasy managers should continue to monitor. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:03 pm
