  • Racks up three hits Thursday
    Solano went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run and an RBI against the Rangers in Thursday's 3-1 victory.

    Advice: Solano opened the scoring in the contest with an RBI double in the fourth inning. He finished with his second three-hit performance of the campaign, and he's collected multiple knocks in five of his past nine games. Solano is slashing a robust .382/.417/.471 with five RBI and six runs over that stretch. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:33 am
  • Luis Rengifo lands on IL with wrist inflammation
    Angels placed 2B Luis Rengifo on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 4, with right wrist inflammation.

    Advice: While recent X-rays on Rengifo’s wrist came back negative, the second baseman was still dealing with soreness in his right wrist, and now finds himself on the injured list. This is a tough loss for fantasy managers as Rengifo was hitting .315 with 22 stolen bases this season. The timetable for his return is unclear. Rotoworld Friday, 11:10 am

  • Begins rehab assignment
    Anderson (illness) was sent to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Advice: Anderson has been out since late June with a bacterial infection but is feeling well enough to play in games again. He shouldn't require many rehab at-bats before being activated. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:48 am

  • Drawing start at third base
    Mastrobuoni will start at third base and bat eighth in Friday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Christopher Morel is getting a second straight day in the designated hitter spot, so Mastrobuoni will be tasked with handling the hot corner. It's his first start since he was recalled from Triple-A Iowa back on June 18. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:56 am

  • Stays red hot
    Sosa went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single during Thursday's 8-4 loss to Cleveland.

    Advice: Sosa logged multiple hits for a fifth straight outing, saving the streak with a solo homer in the ninth inning off Nick Sandlin. The 24-year-old Sosa had gone yard only twice in his first 38 games, but he has matched that number during the hit streak. Sosa is slashing .252/.287/.392 over 151 plate appearances this season.

  • Pops solo shot
    Westburg went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-3 loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: Westburg has hit safely in 11 of his last 13 games, going 16-for-54 (.296) with three homers and seven RBI in that span. The infielder is up to 14 homers this season while adding 49 RBI, 42 runs scored, six stolen bases and a .280/.329/.508 slash line across 80 contests. He continues to split time between second base and third base, but he's firmly in the middle of the Orioles' lineup on a near-everyday basis, and he has the production to match that role.

  • Resting Thursday
    Rojas isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday's game against Arizona.

    Advice: After going 1-for-7 through the first two games of the series, Rojas will ride the pine for the series finale Thursday. His absence will allow Enrique Hernandez to start at shortstop, batting eighth. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:10 pm

  • Sitting Thursday
    Garcia isn't in the Royals' lineup Thursday against the Rays.

    Advice: Garcia will get a day to rest Thursday after going 1-for-7 with a walk and a run scored through the first two games of the series. His absence will move Michael Massey into second base while Vinnie Pasquantino serves as the DH, putting Salvador Perez at first with Freddy Fermin behind the plate. Rotowire.com Thursday, 1:12 pm

  • Rangers option Davis Wendzel back to Triple-A
    Rangers optioned INF Davis Wendzel to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Wendzel was optioned back to the minors ahead of Thursday’s game against the Padres. The 27-year-old rookie infielder has gotten into 27 games this season in the big leagues. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:09 pm
