  • Reaches double-digit steals
    Schuemann went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in a win over the Angels on Thursday.

    Advice: Several other teammates delivered bigger hits, but Schuemann was productive from the bottom of the order. The rookie now has authored five multi-hit efforts in the last 12 games, and he's reached safely in 11 of those contests on his way to a blistering .400 batting average and 1.003 OPS over his last 46 plate appearances.

  • Swipes fifth bag
    Edwards went 2-for-4 with a run scored, two RBI and a stolen base in Thurday's extra-inning loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Batting second against ace right-hander Corbin Burnes, Edwards delivered his ninth multi-hit performance in the last 15 games while stealing his fifth bag of the year. The 24-year-old shortstop is slashing a blistering .431/.500/.471 over that stretch with seven RBI, nine runs and a 9:7 BB:K, and the move to the top of the order is likely to stick as long as he keeps raking. If the trade rumors circling Jazz Chisholm pan out, Edwards seems likely to become the Marlins' leadoff hitter in August. Rotowire.com Today, 8:46 am
  • Another long ball in win
    Lindor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's extra-inning win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Lindor jumped on the first pitch he saw from Chris Sale in his second at-bat and crushed it into the stands in center field for a two-run shot, giving the Mets a 2-1 lead. It marked the shortstop's fifth homer in his last four games and his ninth homer in July. He's also hit safely in 10 straight contests, batting .385 (14-for-39) over that stretch with seven extra-base hits, 14 RBI and seven runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 4:58 am
  • Clubs first homer with LA
    Ahmed went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Thursday's 6-4 win over the Giants.

    Advice: Ahmed inked a major-league deal with the Dodgers on Wednesday and went 1-for-3 during his debut with Los Angeles. In his second game Thursday, Ahmed lifted a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning against his former team. Before being released by the Giants on July 11, Ahmed logged a .232 average with one homer, 15 RBI and 13 runs in 172 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:01 pm
  • Amed Rosario picks up three hits, steals two bases
    Amed Rosario stole two bases while going 3-for-6 with two runs scored in a blowout victory Thursday over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Rosario doubled and singled twice. The 28-year-old former top prospect has enjoyed a solid season with the Rays, and the pair of thefts bring his total to nine on the year over 13 attempts. There’s been almost no power for Rosario with two homers in 248 at-bats, but he’s been able to procure a .417 slugging mark thanks to 15 doubles and three triples. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:12 pm

  • Plates three runs Thursday
    Kim went 2-for-4 with a double and three RBI in Thursday's 3-0 win over Washington.

    Advice: Kim cleared the bases with a first-inning double to give San Diego a 3-0 lead. That ended up being the final score, as the Padres' offense went dormant the rest of the way and Dylan Cease shut down the Nationals with his first career no-hitter. For Kim, the performance snapped a string of 11 straight contests without a run batted in. In fact, his three RBI were as many as he had collected over his previous 21 games combined.

  • Officially placed on IL
    The Dodgers placed Taylor on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a left groin strain, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    Advice: Taylor exited Wednesday's contest with left groin tightness after legging out a double in the seventh inning, and an MRI revealed a strain that will officially keep him sidelined for at least 10 days. Enrique Hernandez is set to start at third base for Thursday's series finale against the Giants and may continue to do so while Taylor is out. Meanwhile, James Outman will come up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to fill the open roster spot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:51 pm

  • Reaches four times in loss
    Witt went 3-for-4 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 8-6 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Witt took a one-day break from cranking out three-hit efforts Tuesday, then got right back to it Wednesday with his fifth such game in six contests since the All-Star break. The shortstop entered the break hitting .323 on the year and has lifted that already stellar mark to .344 with his recent surge. He's posted a .983 OPS, 18 home runs, 23 stolen bases, 70 RBI, 83 runs scored, 28 doubles and 10 triples as one of the best five-category producers this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:36 am
  • Braves designate Zack Short for assignment
    Braves designated INF Zack Short for assignment.

    Advice: It’s a little surprising the Braves are keeping Luke Williams over Short, but then Short did make an ugly error yesterday. The light-hitting utilityman played in 30 games for the Braves and batted .148/.313/.204 in 69 plate appearances. He also served brief stints with the Mets (1-for-9) and Red Sox (0-for-7) earlier this season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:26 am
