Player Notes

  • Blue Jays activate Danny Jansen for Monday return
    Blue Jays activated C Danny Jansen from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Jansen suffered a fracture of his right wrist back in early March but has already worked his way back to full health. Alejandro Kirk is still behind the plate on Monday and with Justin Turner seeing most of his starts at DH, it’s unclear just how much playing time Jansen will get. Brian Serven has been optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Today, 12:33 pm
  • Clubs first homer Sunday
    Trevino went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday in an extra-inning loss to Cleveland.

    Advice: Trevino crushed a 406-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning to give the Yankees a 4-2 lead. It was both his first long ball and his first extra-base hit of any kind on the campaign. Trevino and Austin Wells have been splitting time behind the plate pretty evenly early in the season, as the former has 29 plate appearances and the latter 34. Neither backstop has hit well, but Trevino has a slightly better slash line at .200/.310/.320 to Wells' .115/.265/.115. Rotowire.com Today, 12:14 pm
  • On base four times Sunday
    Kirk went 2-for-2 with two walks in Sunday's win over the Rockies.

    Advice: The big performance at the plate didn't produce any runs, but Kirk continues to show a penchant for reaching base. The 25-year-old has a .355 OBP over his last last eight games, but all six of his hits during that stretch have been singles and he's managed to score zero runs. With Danny Jansen (wrist) about to rejoin the 26-man roster, Kirk's stint as Toronto's starting backstop will end, but a smaller workload might allow him to refocus at the plate as he searches for his first extra-base hit of 2024.

  • Makes most of rare start
    Bart went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run Sunday against the Phillies.

    Advice: Bart made only his third start with the Pirates and first since Monday. While his playing time has been limited to giving Henry Davis breathers, Bart has made the most of his chances by going 4-for-12 with a pair of home runs and a double since joining Pittsburgh. Due to the lack of playing time, Bart is difficult to roster in most formats, though he is a player to monitor given Davis' early-season struggles. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:19 pm
  • Belts two homers
    Pinto went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Sunday's win over San Francisco.

    Advice: Pinto drilled a three-run shot in the fourth inning and later tacked on a solo blast. They were his first two home runs of 2024, as well as his first multi-hit performance. The 27-year-old catcher boosted his OPS to .863 with four extra-base hits through 28 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:22 pm
  • Christian Vázquez smacks first home run in loss
    Christian Vázquez smacked his first home run of the 2024 season on Sunday, but it wasn’t enough to power the Twins past the Tigers in Motown.

    Advice: The light-hitting backstop turned around a first-pitch slider from Jack Flaherty in the fourth inning, clubbing a 381-foot (97.8 mph EV) solo shot that extended the Twins’ lead to 3-0. That would be the extent of their scoring in the ballgame. The 33-year-old catcher finished the day 1-for-3 and is now slashing a horrendous .130/.160/.261 with one home run and three RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:49 pm
  • Resting Sunday
    Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Moreno looks to be getting a routine day off after he caught the first two games of the series while recording a pair of base hits across seven at-bats. Tucker Barnhart will take on the catching duties in the series finale. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:29 am
  • Resting Sunday
    Maldonado is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Maldonado will get a breather in the series finale after he caught both of the previous two days while going hitless across six at-bats. Korey Lee gets the nod behind the dish Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:42 am
  • Heads to bench Sunday
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Rortvedt will retreat to the bench after he started behind the plate in each of the Rays' last three games while going 2-for-9 with a walk. Though the 26-year-old may still be in a timeshare at catcher with Rene Pinto, the playing time has been tilting in Rortvedt's favor of late. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:01 am
