Player Notes

  • Hits grand slam in six RBI day
    Smith went 2-for-5 with a grand slam, a double, two additional RBI and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 14-1 win over St. Louis.

    Advice: After opening the season in Triple-A, Smith failed to log a hit in his first three games with the D-Backs. He made up for the slow start Tuesday, tagging reliever Zack Thompson for a two-RBI double in the fifth and a grand slam in the sixth. Smith's six runs batted in marked a career high, topping his previous best of four RBI. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
  • Cody Bellinger doing OK after wall collision
    Cody Bellinger said after Tuesday’s game that he should be OK following his collision with the wall.

    Advice: X-rays were negative on Bellinger’s right rib contusion, and it’s possible he’ll be ready to go Wednesday. “We’re going to have to check on the wall, see if the wall’s OK first and then be careful around it next time,” he said. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
  • Heating up at plate
    Buxton went 3-for-4 with a double and a game-tying home run in the ninth inning in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Buxton has started to heat up as he's hitting .333 (9-for-27) with four doubles, a triple and home run over his last seven games. More importantly, he's healthy and playing regularly in center field. He's getting a day at DH and and a day of rest each week, but otherwise is full speed. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
  • Swipes bag, scores twice
    Freeman went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Freeman's RBI single in the seventh inning got the Guardians on the board, and he came around to score on a sacrifice fly. He's started to separate himself in a crowded battle for playing time, going 7-for-19 (.368) with two home runs and five RBI over his last six games. Freeman is slashing .222/.296/.413 with three homers, 12 RBI, three steals and 12 runs scored through 71 plate appearances as Cleveland's primary center fielder. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago

  • Clubs pair of homers
    Tauchman went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a solo home run during Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

    Advice: Tauchman entered Tuesday's game homerless on the year, a surprising fact considering his monstrous performance. He tagged J.P. France for a three-run shot in the first frame and followed up the long ball with a solo shot in the eighth inning. Tauchman has collected multiple hits in three of his last six games, batting .450 with six RBI and five runs scored during that stretch. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
