    • On base five times in win
      Mullins went 2-for-2 with three walks, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Mullins has hit safely in five straight games, going 7-for-14 with six walks in that span. Prior to Wednesday, he had walked multiple times in a game just once this year. The outfielder is now slashing .227/.282/.400 with 11 home runs, 19 steals, 38 RBI and 45 runs scored through 99 contests. Mullins' walk rate of 6.7 percent is the lowest he's posted in his last four years, so any gains he can make in that area should help him hold the starting job in center field.

    • Smacks homer in win
      Cowser went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 10-4 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Cowser is riding a 13-game hitting streak, going 19-for-50 (.380) with four homers and 14 RBI in that span. The outfielder's surge has helped him take over the leadoff spot versus right-handed pitchers. He's also been in the lineup regularly versus southpaws, though the Orioles' additions of Eloy Jimenez and Austin Slater at the trade deadline give them a pair of right-handed-hitting outfielders. Cowser is up to a .245/.326/.458 slash line with 16 homers, 47 RBI, 45 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 347 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

    • Stays locked in Wednesday
      Bellinger went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 13-4 win over the Reds.

      Advice: In two games since returning from a finger injury, Bellinger has gone 5-for-9 with a home run and four RBI. The 29-year-old former MVP can heat up in a hurry, and it looks like he could be primed for a big finish to the season. Bellinger's counting stats could also benefit from the addition of Isaac Paredes to the Chicago lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 7:45 pm

    • Routed by Royals
      Thorpe (3-3) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up six runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings as the White Sox were downed 10-3 by the Royals. He failed to strike out a batter.

      Advice: The rookie right-hander got tagged for at least one run in each of the first three innings, with a two-run shot by Freddy Fermin in the second being the biggest blow. Thorpe reeled off five straight quality starts at one point, but over his last two outings he's been crushed for 14 runs in only 5.2 innings, sending his ERA soaring from 3.03 to 5.48. He'll try to turn things around in his next trip to the mound, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Oakland. Rotowire.com Today, 6:18 pm
       
    • Slugs sixth homer
      Wallner went 2-for-5 with a double, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Mets.

      Advice: The 26-year-old outfielder got hold of a Luis Severino changeup in the third inning and crushed it over the wall in right-center field, capping a five-run frame for the Twins. Wallner has gone yard three times in his last four starts, and since rejoining the big-league roster in early July he's batting .364 (16-for-44) in 15 contests with five of his six homers on the season.

    • Managing knee injury
      Polanco was removed from Wednesday's game due to knee issues, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

      Advice: Polanco went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts and a walk before Leo Rivas replaced him in the field during the eighth inning. Polanco's knee also forced him to make an early exit from Sunday's game against the White Sox, so it's possible the Mariners sit him down for a game or two as a precaution.

    • Jorge Polanco leaves early with knee issue
      Jorge Polanco was removed from Wednesday’s battle against the Red Sox in the eighth inning due to renewed soreness in his knee.

      Advice: It’s an issue that Polanco has been playing through for some time now, so unless they ultimately place him back on the injured list they’re going to have to continue to manage his workload with occasional days of rest and early exits when it flares up on him. He should once again be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 4:54 pm

    • Rafael Devers delivers walk-off hit vs. Mariners
      Rafael Devers went 3-for-5 with a walk-off double and an RBI as the Red Sox won 3-2 over the Mariners on Wednesday.

      Advice: Devers had a double and a base hit on the day before stepping up to bat in the bottom of the tenth inning with the game tied. He delivered for Boston, driving a double to the left field wall to score the runner on second for the walk-off win. The 27-year-old third baseman is slashing an outstanding .303/.382/.600 with 24 homers, 69 runs scored, and 68 RBI across 414 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 4:30 pm
       
    • Taking batting practice
      Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Betts (hand) is participating in batting practice and that a return in a couple weeks is "very realistic," Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Betts continues to ramp up his baseball work in his rehab from a fractured left hand, and the finish line may finally be in sight. The 31-year-old could soon progress to live batting practice, and that figures to be one of the final hurdles before being cleared for game action. It remains to be seen if Betts will require a rehab assignment before returning, but even if necessary, it may not be a lengthy stint in the minors. Rotowire.com Today, 4:06 pm
