  • Running less
    Duran has attempted five steals over the last 35 games, after he opened the season with six steals in the first six games.

    Advice: There are a few factors that explain the drop in attempts, per Alex Speier of The Boston Globe. Opposing teams became aware of Duran's potential impact, and the Red Sox have been more judicious after running into several outs early in the season. Additionally, manager Alex Cora asked Duran to run less given that he plays every day. Rotowire.com Today, 7:03 pm
     
  • Fine after freak accident
    Soler (shoulder/head) didn't suffer any significant injuries after getting hit in the head while hitting on the field Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Soler took swings on the field before Tuesday's game against the Dodgers as the next step in rehabbing his strained right shoulder, but he was removed by a trainer after a foul ball hit off the top of the cage and struck him in the head. However, it appears the outfielder managed to escape the incident with minimal damage. He will be eligible to come off the injured list Wednesday, though there is no telling whether or not he'll be ready to play then. Rotowire.com Today, 6:56 pm

  • Michael Harris II homers in win over Cubs
    Michael Harris II went 1-for-3 with a home run and a walk in a win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

    Advice: Harris hit a solo shot off of Jameson Taillon in the fourth inning that traveled 426 feet and left the bat at 106.7 mph. It was his fourth home run and 15th RBI of the season. The 23-year-old is one of quite a few Braves hitters who aren’t living up to their typical production early in the season. Still, there is nothing under the hood that suggests Harris is struggling, and he should be in for a solid summer ahead. Rotoworld Today, 6:49 pm
     
  • Jesús Sánchez drives in game-winning run on Tueday
    Jesús Sánchez went 1-for-4 with a game-winning groundout in the Marlins win over the Tigers on Tuesday.

    Advice: Not exactly a thrilling way to earn a victory, but Sánchez had a hard-hit groundball in the top of the 10th inning that drove in a run and gave Miami a 1-0 lead. The 26-year-old is hitting just .237 on the season, but he’s making a lot of hard contact and his name was all over the Statcast bat speed and short swing leaderboards that came out this week. He’s a talented hitter, but he’s simply hitting too many groundballs right now. Still, he plays every game against right-handed pitching and hits in the middle of the Marlins’ lineup, so he’s a name you should keep an eye on. A slight approach change could lead to big results.

  • Wenceel Pérez has two hits in loss to Marlins
    Wenceel Pérez went 2-for-4 in Tuesday’s loss to the Marlins. Both of Pérez’s hits were singles, but he had three batted balls of at least 95 mph on the day and has been solid in his rookie campaign, slashing .304/.375/.506. His ability to play multiple positions around the diamond will likely help him remain in the lineup as the Tigers get healthier, and he’s certainly worth an add in deeper formats while he’s swinging the bat well.

  • Resting against southpaw
    Sheets isn't in the White Sox's lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

    Advice: With southpaw Mitchell Parker set to start on the mound for Washington, the lefty-hitting Sheets will take a seat for the nightcap. Andrew Benintendi, Rafael Ortega and Tommy Pham will start across the outfield while Sheets rests. Rotowire.com Today, 5:08 pm

  • Miguel Andujar starting rehab assignment Thursday
    Miguel Andujar (knee) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: Andujar will presumably need a couple weeks of games to get back up to speed before making it back to Oakland. The 29-year-old has been out since late March recovering from right knee surgery. Rotoworld Today, 5:05 pm

  • Sitting for nightcap
    Robles is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Tuesday's doubleheader with the White Sox.

    Advice: Robles will take a seat after he went 1-for-2 with an RBI sacrifice fly in the Nationals' 6-3 win over Chicago in Tuesday's matinee. Eddie Rosario will slide over to right field while Ildemaro Vargas enters the lineup in left field and bats eighth against the White Sox. Rotowire.com Today, 5:00 pm
