  • Gio Urshela has three hits in victory over D’Backs
    Gio Urshela went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles and an RBI in a lopsided victory over the Diamondbacks on Saturday night in Arizona.

    Advice: Urshela started a six-run uprising in the seventh inning with a leadoff double off of Zac Gallen. He scored the team’s first run on an RBI double off the bat of Javier Báez. The 32-year-old infielder then came to bat again later in the inning and delivered an RBI single that increased the Tigers’ lead to 6-2. With his three-hit evening, Urshela is now hitting .290/.300/.348 with zero homers and seven RBI in 71 plate appearances on the year. Rotoworld 50 minutes ago
  • Lowe gets plunked in 13th to give Rangers win
    Nathaniel Lowe drove in two runs including a walk-off hit-by-pitch in the 13th inning against the Angels on Saturday.

    Advice: The Angels decided to load the bases with an intentional walk to Corey Seager. It didn’t work out, as Carson Fulmer plunked Lowe to give the Rangers the win. Baseball strategy is a cruel enigma sometimes. Lowe has gotten on at a .391 clip since returning from injury, and he’s driven in 14 runs in 25 games. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago
  • Brown leaves the yard Saturday
    Seth Brown went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run against the Royals on Saturday.



    Advice: It was Brown’s fourth home run of the season. He’s not on the fantasy radar right now given his .179 average and .546 OPS. It was just two years ago that he hit 25 home runs with 11 stolen bases and a .230 average. It’s unlikely we even see that level of production from Brown again, though.

  • Perez drives in two on Saturday
    Salvador Perez went 1-for-4 with two RBI against the Athletics on Saturday.



    Advice: Perez had a two-run single in the first inning that opened the scoring. The 34-year-old backstop has been great this year as he’s hitting .333 with a .949 OPS. His walk percentage is nearly double what it usually is at 7.8 percent and his strikeout percentage of 15 percent would be his lowest since 2015. Still, we can’t expect Perez to keep up this average as his .368 BABIP is 77 points higher than his career .291 BABIP.

  • Big homer off Diaz in comeback win
    Bell went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 10-9 victory over the Mets.

    Advice: Bell had two singles -- including one that drove in a run -- when he strolled to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning to face Edwin Diaz as the tying run. He then swatted one 428 feet for a three-run home run to knot things up before the Marlins eventually won in the 10th. Bell's home run -- which was his sixth of the season -- was measured at 107.9 mph off the bat. The first baseman is 10-for-25 with two long balls over his last six tilts. Rotowire.com Today, 5:56 pm
  • Vientos has two-hit game Saturday
    Mark Vientos went 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, a run scored, and an RBI against the Marlins on Saturday.



    Advice: Vientos had an RBI single in the first inning and later scored on a Harrison Bader single. He has started back-to-back games, but he’s in a platoon with the left-handed Brett Baty at third base. Neither one is more than a deep league option as long as they continue to share playing time.

  • Hunter Goodman collects two hits in loss to Giants
    Hunter Goodman went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored, one RBI, and a stolen base against the Giants on Saturday.

    Advice: With Elias Díaz sidelined with a hand injury, Goodman made his first start at catcher against the Giants. He doubled to lead off the third inning and scored on a single by Ezequiel Tovar. Goodman later drove in a run with a base hit in the sixth and stole second for his first steal of the season. The 24-year-old is 4-for-25 with two homers and five RBI with the Rockies.

  • Yandy Díaz reaches five times in win vs. Toronto
    Yandy Díaz went 3-for-3 with a run scored and two walks against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

    Advice: Díaz started his day with a single to lead off the first inning. He added a base hit in the third and led off the sixth with his third hit before scoring on a single by Amed Rosario. Dìaz reached again in the seventh on a walk and drew another walk in the eighth to reach base in all five plate appearances. The 32-year-old first baseman ends the day hitting .263/.330/.360 with three homers and 23 RBI across 206 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 3:00 pm
  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr. collects three hits Saturday
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored, and an RBI against the Rays on Saturday.

    Advice: Guerrero Jr. doubled to lead off the fourth inning against Zach Eflin and came around to score on a single by George Springer. He added a run to the board for Toronto with an RBI-single in the fifth and led off the bottom of the eighth with his third hit of the day. The 25-year-old first baseman is hitting .280/.373/.393 with four homers and 20 RBI across 193 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 2:59 pm
