  • 33-35-2 7th Place
    • Drives in go-ahead run
      Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a walk and one RBI in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the Mets.

      Advice: Rodriguez went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in his major-league debut Tuesday. He was in the lineup again Wednesday and delivered his first hit, an RBI single, in the seventh inning to put the Guardians ahead 4-3. The outfield prospect slashed .276/.389/.449 with seven homers and 28 RBI over 43 games at Triple-A Columbus prior to his call-up. Rodriguez has started the last two games in right field, pushing Estevan Florial and Will Brennan to left field. The Guardians' outfield remains crowded, but Rodriguez at least has a chance to make an impression before Steven Kwan (hamstring) returns. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:48 pm
       
    • Sparks rally Wednesday
      Schneider went 1-for-4 with a walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 9-2 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Schneider's two-run single sparked a seven-run rally for the Blue Jays in the second inning. The second baseman is up to three steals on the year, all of which have come since May 5. He's added .246/.345/.451 slash line with five home runs, 19 RBI, 20 runs scored and 10 doubles across 142 plate appearances. Schneider has hit leadoff in five straight games, with four of those games against a right-handed starting pitcher. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:54 pm
       
    • Returns to starting nine
      Steer (ankle) will start at first base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Padres.

      Advice: Steer didn't start in either of the last two games while managing a sore ankle, though he felt well enough to make a pinch-hitting appearance in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers. Monday's team off day plus an absence from the lineup in Tuesday's 2-0 win over San Diego appears to have provided sufficient time for Steer to move past the ankle issue. He'll likely continue to see the bulk of his starts at first base rather than in the corner outfield for the duration of Christian Encarnacion-Strand's (wrist) stint on the injured list.

    • Lars Nootbaar ejected from Tuesday’s game
      Lars Nootbaar was ejected from Tuesday’s game against the Orioles for arguing balls and strikes.

      Advice: Nootbaar didn’t agree with a called third strike in his first-inning at-bat and was tossed from the contest after returning to the dugout and continuing to voice his displeasure. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:00 pm
       
    • Luis Matos batting third on Tuesday vs. Pirates
      Luis Matos is batting third on Tuesday against the Pirates.

      Advice: Giants manager Bob Melvin has bumped a sizzling-hot Matos up to the heart of the order for the first time this season. The 22-year-old former top prospect has batted a sublime .385 (10-for-26) with two homers and a staggering 16 RBI in seven contests since returning to the majors back on May 12. He’s absolutely worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats, despite some lackluster underlying quality of contact metrics. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:01 pm
       
    • Making MLB debut Tuesday
      Rodriguez is starting in right field and batting seventh Tuesday against the Mets.

      Advice: The 24-year-old was called up from Triple-A Columbus on Monday and will make his MLB debut for Cleveland a day later. Rodriguez posted a .276/.389/.449 slash line with seven homers through 43 games for Columbus this season, and he could carve out a regular role given the Guardians' lack of offensive production from their outfield this year.

    • Spencer Steer (ankle) remains out Tuesday vs. SD
      Spencer Steer (ankle) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Padres.

      Advice: Steer will miss back-to-back games while dealing with his ankle injury. The 26-year-old will sit with Santiago Espinal at third and Jeimer Candelario again handling duties at first base. Rotoworld Tuesday, 11:40 am

    • Out again Tuesday
      Steer (ankle) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

      Advice: Steer was held out of Sunday's game with an ankle injury and remains out of action after Monday's off day. The good news is Steer said Tuesday that he's feeling better and expects to be available off the bench, just as he was Sunday when he served in a pinch-hit capacity, per Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer.

    • Guardians promoting OF Jonathan Rodriguez from AAA
      Guardians recalled OF Johnathan Rodriguez from Triple-A Columbus.

      Advice: The 24-year-old Rodriguez was off to a strong start in Triple-A, slashing .276/.389/.449 in 43 games with seven home runs, 30 runs, 28 RBI, and four steals. While he still sports a 25 percent strikeout rate, it’s an improvement on the 33 percent rate he posted in Triple-A last year, and Rodriguez is also posting a 16 percent walk rate. He hit 29 home runs across two levels of the minors last year, so he could bring some solid power to the middle of the Guardians’ order. Ramon Laureano was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Monday, 11:43 am
