  • Sits in second straight game
    Maldonado is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Maldonado finds himself on the bench for a second straight day, ending a stretch of eight consecutive contests in which he and Korey Lee alternated turns behind the dish. With the White Sox sitting on a 3-21 record and the 37-year-old Maldonado having recorded just two hits in 42 at-bats on the season, it's possible that the organization will begin to start phasing him out to open up more opportunities for the 25-year-old Lee.

  • Slugs second homer
    Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Padres on Wednesday.

    Advice: Diaz accounted for half of the Rockies' runs in the contest with his solo shot to center field in the eighth inning. The blast snapped a 19-game homerless drought for the backstop, who belted 14 long balls last season. Despite the modest power output thus far, Diaz has had a nice start to the campaign with a .312/.357/.429 slash line and 11 RBI. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:52 pm
  • Clubs solo homer
    Lee went 1-for-2 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Lee reached safely in two of his three plate appearances Wednesday, tagging Joe Ryan for a solo home run in the third and being walked on in the fifth inning. He stole second after being walked on, marking his first-career big-league steal. After batting .077 in 2023 and .160 in 2022, Lee is off to a much better start to 2024, slashing .256/.310/.462 with five RBI and five runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:54 pm
  • Four hits, two homers in win
    Wong went 4-for-4 with a pair of homers and three total RBI in Wednesday's 8-0 victory over the Guardians.

    Advice: It's the second two-homer game of Wong's career while his four hits matched a personal best. The 27-year-old catcher has been on fire lately, going 13-for-31 with four home runs in his last eight games while taking over the primary catching job in Boston. Wong's now slashing a solid .320/.327/.520 with three home runs (six shy of a career high), eight RBI and five runs scored across 51 plate appearances to open the campaign.

  • Resumes catching work
    Murphy (oblique) was able to catch bullpen sessions Tuesday and Wednesday but has yet to resume swinging a bat, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: Murphy's ability to throw at full strength while donning his full catching equipment represents a positive step forward in his recovery from a Grade 1 left oblique strain, but until he starts swinging the bat again, his return from the 10-day injured list shouldn't be viewed as imminent. The backstop has been on the shelf since March 30 with the injury. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:35 pm
