Player Notes

  • Orelvis Martinez continues mashing at Triple-A
    Blue Jays INF prospect Orelvis Martinez launched a three-run homer on Thursday for Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: Martinez has homered seven times in his last nine games and continues to make a compelling case to get the call to Toronto. The 22-year-old slugger is batting .325 (27-for-83) with a 1.060 OPS through 21 games so far. Rotoworld Today, 7:24 pm
  • Tyler Nevin homers to lift A’s past Yankees
    Tyler Nevin walloped a two-run homer on Thursday, powering the Athletics to a 3-1 victory over the Yankees.

    Advice: Nevin went deep off Yankees southpaw Nestor Cortes in the third inning for his first round-tripper of the season. It wound up being enough run support for Oakland starter Alex Wood and a quartet of relievers, who combined to limit New York’s lineup to just one run in an impressive victory.

  • Heating up
    Devers went 3-for-5 with a run scored in Thursday's 6-4 loss to Cleveland.

    Advice: Devers produced a second consecutive three-hit effort after missing five games with a knee injury. He's 6-for-9 with a double, home run, two RBI and two runs scored in his two games back. The downtime appears to have given the balky shoulder he was dealing with during Boston's homestand last week time to heal. Rotowire.com Today, 6:29 pm
  • Junior Caminero exits AAA game early on Thursday
    Rays 3B/SS prospect Junior Caminero made an early exit from Thursday’s game at Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Caminero returned to minor league game action last week from a left quad strain, so his departure is a bit concerning since it came immediately following a fourth-inning double. There should be an update on the 20-year-old top prospect’s status at some point in the coming days. Rotoworld Today, 6:12 pm
  • Homers in loss
    Smith started at shortstop and went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Seattle.

    Advice: Smith launched his first homer of the season in the fourth inning, which tied the game momentarily before the Mariners plated two a half-inning later. He got the start at shortstop while primary starter Corey Seager served as DH a day after he left a game with a bruised shin. If Seager is limited to DH for a bit, Smith will be the primary fill-in at short. If Seager is ready for a defensive role, then Smith will go back to sharing third base with Ezequiel Duran. Smith is batting .292/.393/.417 over 84 plate appearances, much better than his previous two MLB seasons would indicate. Rotowire.com Today, 5:59 pm
