  • Braves option Forrest Wall to Triple-A
    Braves optioned OF Forrest Wall to Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: The 28-year-old will head down to the minors with the team bringing in Luke Williams. Wall’s only plate appearance with the Braves this season was a groundout during a 16-4 blowout loss to the Mets. He’ll join Triple-A Gwinnett where he slashed .280/.372/.427 with 43 RBI and 52 stolen bases last season. Rotoworld Today, 7:32 am
     
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    Wall was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett by Atlanta on Friday.

    Advice: Wall has been on Atlanta's roster since Opening Day but didn't make a start and received just one plate appearance. He's being replaced on the roster by Luke Williams, who offers some more defensive versatility. Rotowire.com Today, 7:13 am
     
  • Enters as pinch hitter
    Refsnyder entered Thursday's game as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 in a 5-4 loss to Cleveland.

    Advice: Refsnyder pinch hit for second baseman Enmanuel Valdez and stayed in the game to play left field. It was the season debut for Refsnyder, who opened the year on the 10-day injured list due to a toe injury. He was activated to take the roster spot of Tyler O'Neill, who landed on the 7-day concussion list. Refsnyder will likely be in the starting nine whenever the Red Sox face a left-hander.

  • Drives in two
    Yastrzemski went 1-for-4 with two runs batted in during Thursday's 5-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Yastrzemski stepped into the batter's box in the eighth inning with the bases loaded and delivered a two-RBI single off Kyle Nelson. It was just his second game of 2024 with an RBI as the outfielder has crawled to a .135/.238/.135 slash line through 14 games. He seems to be turning the corner on his sluggish start, going 4-for-17 (.235) over his last six appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 6:20 am
     
  • Heston Kjerstad connects for eighth homer at AAA
    Orioles OF prospect Heston Kjerstad went 3-for-3 with a solo homer and also stole a base on Thursday for Triple-A Norfolk.

    Advice: It’s early, but Kjerstad continues to tear the cover off the ball this season. The 25-year-old slugger is up to eight round-trippers through 18 games for Triple-A Norfolk and boasts a stratospheric 1.151 OPS to date. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:18 pm
     
  • Everson Pereira homers twice on Thursday at AAA
    Yankees OF prospect Everson Pereira went 3-for-4 with two homers and four RBI on Thursday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: Pereira struggled last year in a brief 14-game cameo with the Yankees, but has always flashed some big-time power upside. The 23-year-old outfielder still needs to curb his propensity to swing and miss if he’s going to make an impact at the highest level. He certainly looks like a Quad-A masher at the moment, but could easily make the leap into a quality big-league contributor if his plate skills take a step forward. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:16 pm
     
  • Triple, stolen base vs. Guardians
    Duran went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Cleveland.

    Advice: Duran drew a walk to lead off the home half of the first inning before swiping his seventh bag of the year. The speedy outfielder would then drive in a pair of runs with a triple in the sixth inning, his first three-bagger this season. Duran is now 5-for-17 with three extra-base hits in his last four contests. He's off to a nice start following a promising 2023 campaign, slashing .301/.366/.422 with a home run, 12 runs scored and nine RBI through his first 20 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:53 pm
     
  • Homers Thursday
    Garcia went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 9-7 win over Detroit.

    Advice: Garcia put the Rangers ahead 5-4 in the third inning, blasting a solo shot off Kenta Maeda, his fifth of the year. Garcia had cooled off a bit after a torrid start this season, going 2-for-12 in four games prior to Thursday's contest. The 31-year-old outfielder is now slashing .311/.361/.568 with 18 RBI, 14 runs scored and four steals through his first 20 games on the campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:45 pm
