  • Not in Sunday's lineup
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Rortvedt started four of the previous five games but will receive Sunday off after he went 3-for-12 with four strikeouts during that stretch. Alex Jackson will step in behind the plate to catch for Ryan Pepiot on Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 7:56 am
     
  • Not starting Sunday
    O'Hoppe (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: As expected, O'Hoppe will be on the bench for the day game to close out the series in Cleveland after he exited Saturday's 7-1 loss with a right hand contusion. Matt Thaiss will step in behind the plate for O'Hoppe, who should be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Pittsburgh. Rotowire.com Today, 7:50 am
     
  • On bench in second straight
    Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: After sitting against Tigers right-hander Casey Mize in Saturday's 5-3 win, the lefty-hitting Wells will remain on the bench Sunday with southpaw Tarik Skubal on the hill for Detroit. The Yankees may be opting for more of a timeshare at catcher between Wells and the right-handed-hitting Jose Trevino rather than a true platoon, given that Trevino has been the better performer of the two this season. Trevino heads into Sunday's game with a .719 OPS, more than 100 points higher than Wells' mark (.592). Rotowire.com Today, 7:23 am
     
  • One hit in Pittsburgh debut
    Grandal went 1-for-4 Saturday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Grandal made his first start since joining the Pirates this offseason, as he was sidelined by a foot injury for the first month of the campaign. He reached base in his first plate appearance on a single. Grandal is expected to serve as Pittsburgh's primary catcher, though he may be pushed for playing time by Joey Bart.

  • Swats seventh homer
    Raleigh went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Astros.

    Advice: Raleigh sent Houston starter Framber Valdez to the showers with a two-run blast in the sixth inning. The homer was a much-needed positive outcome for the backstop, as he entered the contest having gone 1-for-26 with 13 strikeouts over his previous eight games. Raleigh's .210/.292/.420 season slash line isn't great, but he is tied for second among MLB catchers with seven homers while adding 15 RBI and 13 runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:40 pm
     
  • Swats first homer
    Hedges went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Saturday in a 7-1 victory versus the Angels.

    Advice: Hedges put the Guardians on the board in the second inning, plating two runs with a blast to left field. The long ball was the veteran catcher's first of the season and just his fourth hit overall through 31 plate appearances. Both Hedges and fellow backstop Bo Naylor (who played DH on Saturday) have struggled mightily in the early part of the campaign, though each went deep Saturday as the duo combined to drive in six of Cleveland's seven runs.

  • Blows game open with grand slam
    Naylor went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 7-1 victory against the Angels.

    Advice: The contest was relatively close heading into the bottom of the sixth frame, as Cleveland held a narrow 3-1 lead. However, Angels starter Reid Detmers walked three batters in the inning, and Naylor made him pay for the wildness by crushing a two-out grand slam. The homer nearly doubled Naylor's season RBI total from five to nine, and it snapped a 15-game stretch without a long ball. Aside from Saturday's big blast, it's been a pretty rough season for the backstop, as he's slashing just .183/.280/.305 with a massive 38.7 percent strikeout rate through 93 plate appearances.

  • Cal Raleigh slugs two-run homer in M’s victory
    Cal Raleigh belted a two-run homer on Saturday, propelling the Mariners to a 5-0 victory over the Astros.

    Advice: Raleigh’s sixth-inning shot off Astros starter Framber Valdez provided more than enough run support for Mariners ace Logan Gilbert, who reeled off eight scoreless frames to open the contest. It was his seventh big fly of the season and first time he’s gone deep since April 23. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:17 pm
     
  • Bo Naylor crushes grand slam, Guardians rout Angels
    Bo Naylor walloped a grand slam on Saturday, leading the Guardians to a decisive 7-1 victory over the Angels.

    Advice: Naylor’s first career grand slam came off Angels starter Reid Detmers in the sixth inning and wound up putting the contest away for good. It was his third big fly of the season and first time he’s left the yard since April 10. The 24-year-old former top prospect has gotten off to an extremely slow start this season at the plate, but continues to play regularly as Cleveland’s backstop of the future.
