  • William Contreras picks up three hits in easy win
    William Contreras picked up three hits and drove in a run in a win Friday over the White Sox.

    Advice: Contreras, 26, also scored twice. The Brewers were able to reach 23 times via hit and six times on walks, and somewhat amazingly none of those hits went over the fence. Contreras is one of the best hitting backstops in baseball with a .323 average, .896 OPS, eight homers and four stolen bases across 229 at-bats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:06 pm
  • MJ Melendez goes 0-for-4 in loss to Padres
    MJ Melendez finished 0-for-4 while his teammates were combining to score eight runs Friday against the Padres.

    Advice: Melendez will likely turn this around if the Royals stick with him long enough, but at this point, sending him down for 2-3 weeks would make sense. He’s sitting at .172/.233/.337 for the season. Drew Waters wouldn’t necessarily be a better bet, but at least he’d improve the defense in left if given a shot. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:00 pm
  • David Fry stays hot, homers again
    David Fry went 1-for-3 with a home run, three RBI, and a walk in a win over the Nationals on Friday.

    Advice: What else is there to say about Fry? This long ball was his third in six games and it’s getting more and more difficult to deny his blazing hot start. He’s slashing a remarkable .365/.485/.629 with the plate discipline and batted ball metrics to match his production. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:37 pm

  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    Reetz was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday after clearing waivers.

    Advice: Reetz has struggled in the majors this season, going 1-for-12 while striking out four times across five appearances. He'll remain with the Giants organization and look to find his swing again in the minors. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:57 pm
  • Giants send Jakson Reetz outright to Triple-A
    Giants sent C Jakson Reetz outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: As anticipated, the 28-year-old backstop passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to serve as extra catching depth for the Giants at the Triple-A level. Reetz went just 1-for-12 (.083) with a solo homer and four strikeouts during his time with the big league club. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:40 pm
  • Absent from lineup
    Langeliers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Langeliers will get a breather Friday after going 2-for-12 with a two-run home run during Oakland's three-game series with the Rays. Instead, Kyle McCann will bat sixth and fill in behind the dish. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:37 pm
  • Out against lefty
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With Washington sending southpaw Patrick Corbin to the mound for the series opener, the lefty-hitting Naylor will get a break. David Fry will fill in at catcher and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:40 am
  • Mets acquire catcher Luis Torrens from Yankees
    Mets acquired C Luis Torrens from the Yankees for cash considerations.

    Advice: Torrens will take the roster spot of Omar Narvaez, who was designated for assignment. He’s spent parts of the last five seasons in the majors, mostly with the Seattle Mariners. Torrens, 28, hit .243 with 15 home runs in 108 games in 2021 with Seattle. He figures to share catching duties with Tomas Nido until Francisco Alvarez returns. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:06 am
  • Mets designate Omar Narváez for assignment
    Mets designated C Omar Narváez for assignment.

    Advice: Narváez’s days on the Mets roster were likely numbered already with Francisco Alvarez on a rehab assignment. Instead the Mets are swapping him out for the newly acquired Luis Torrens. He batted just .154 in 28 games this season for the Mets. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:00 am
