    • Smacks go-ahead homer
      Winker hit a solo home run in his only at-bat in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Mets.

      Advice: He did not start with the lefty Jose Quintana pitching, but Winker provided the only spark of the contest when he took Adrian Houser deep in the eighth. It was Winker's 10th homer of the season, his fifth career pinch-hit blast and first pinch-hit homer since 2019 with the Reds. The 30-year-old will often sit against lefties, but he's been very good in his first year with the Nationals, slashing .263/.377/.425 with 39 RBI and 12 stolen bases. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:05 am

    • Jesse Winker hits pinch-hit game-winning HR
      Jesse Winker propelled the Nationals to a 1-0 win over the Mets with a pinch-hit home run in the eighth inning.

      Advice: Winker was not in the starting lineup with left-hander Jose Quintana on the mound, but he entered the lineup to face Adrian Houser in the eighth and clobbered a 407-foot home run for the eventual game-winner. It was Winker’s 10th of the season to go along with 39 RBIs. He figures to be a popular name at the trade deadline for a contender looking for a left-handed bat. That could potentially lead to a loss of fantasy value if he is not traded into a starting role, so fantasy managers will cross their fingers. Rotoworld Thursday, 10:56 am

    • X-rays negative, but MRI coming
      Rengifo is not in the lineup Thursday in Oakland after X-rays on his right wrist came back negative, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

      Advice: Rengifo is set to undergo an MRI on Friday to check for structural damage. The super utility player was injured during Wednesday's loss to the Athletics while taking a swing in the ninth inning. Miguel Sano is playing third base for the Angels on Thursday.

    • Slugs 19th homer Wednesday
      Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to Arizona on Wednesday.

      Advice: The Dodgers scored all their runs in the first inning, and their final tally came on Hernandez's solo shot. The long ball was his 19th of the campaign, putting the veteran outfielder one home run away from reaching the 20-homer mark for the sixth straight full season (he hit 16 during the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign). Hernandez is on pace to challenge his career-best marks of 32 home runs and 116 RBI, which he established with Toronto in 2021. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:35 am

    • Taking seat Thursday
      Cronenworth is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Rangers.

      Advice: It's a routine day of rest after Cronenworth started each of the previous 12 games for the Padres. Tyler Wade will receive a start at second base. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:06 am

    • Exits starting nine
      Wong is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Miami.

      Advice: Wong extended his hit streak to 17 games in Wednesday's win over the Marlins, but he'll take a seat for Thursday's matinee. Reese McGuire will be behind the plate for Nick Pivetta. Rotowire.com Thursday, 6:56 am
       
    • Absent from lineup
      Buxton is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

      Advice: Buxton started each of the previous four contests but will begin Thursday's festivities on the bench. The Twins are going with Austin Martin in center field in the rubber match of the series. Rotowire.com Thursday, 6:19 am

    • Sitting versus southpaw
      Winker is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

      Advice: Lefty Jose Quintana is taking the mound Thursday for New York, so Winker will hit the bench for the third time in four games. Harold Ramirez will receive another start at designated hitter as the pair continues to platoon the position. Rotowire.com Thursday, 6:15 am

    • Hit streak at 17 games
      Wong went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 7-2 win over the Marlins.

      Advice: The backstop continued his breakout campaign, hitting safely in his 17th straight game while swiping his fourth bag of the year. Wong is slashing .333/.405/.470 during his hit streak, the longest by a Boston catcher since Victor Martinez put together a 25-game streak in 2009. The only other catcher in Red Sox history with a hitting streak of 17 games or longer is Hall of Famer Carlton Fisk, who reached that number twice between the 1975 and 1976 seasons.
