  • Wenceel Perez drives in four runs to lead Tigers
    Wenceel Perez smacked a pair of triples and drove in four runs on Saturday night, leading the Tigers to a come-from-behind 8-3 victory over the Diamondbacks in Arizona.

    Advice: The 24-year-old outfielder walloped a two-out triple off of Zac Gallen in the opening inning, but was left stranded at third. He then cleared the bases with a two-out, three-run triple off of Joe Mantiply in the seventh that gave the Tigers their first lead of the day. He also tacked on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning. Perez has been a revelation for the Tigers so far this season, slashing .300/.373/.533 with three homers, 12 RBI and three stolen bases in his first 102 plate appearances at the big league level.

  • Ketel Marte extends hitting streak to 17 in loss
    Ketel Marte smacked a run-scoring triple off of Jack Flaherty on Saturday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Diamondbacks to victory over the Tigers.

    Advice: The 30-year-old second baseman extended his hitting streak to 17 games and broke a scoreless tie with his run-scoring triple off of the Tigers’ right-hander in the sixth inning. He then scored on an RBI single off the bat of Joc Pederson. Marte finished the night 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts and is now hitting .287/.333/.525 with nine homers, 25 RBI and one stolen base on the season. Rotoworld Today, 8:04 pm
  • Nolan Gorman homers in win over Red Sox
    Nolan Gorman went 2-for4 with a homer and two RBI in a 7-2 win for the Cardinals over the Red Sox on Saturday.

    Advice: Gorman smashed a solo homer in the second inning of Kutter Crawford — the only run Crawford allowed in the outing — and he drove in his second run with a single in the eighth inning to give him 18 RBI and doubled the St. Louis lead to 4-2. Gorman now has seven homers on the season, but even with the two hits and two RBI, his .201/.293/.396 slash qualifies as a disappointment thus far. Rotoworld Today, 7:09 pm
  • Dylan Moore has two hits, RBI as M’s top O’s
    Dylan Moore went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, RBI and a run scored as the Mariners topped the Orioles 4-3 on Saturday night at Camden Yards.

    Advice: Moore was also hit by a pitch in the contest, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances. He smacked a double off of Danny Coulombe in the seventh inning and scored the tying run as Ty France ripped an RBI double into right field. The versatile 31-year-old then plated a run of his own with an RBI double off of Cionel Perez in the eighth that increased the M’s lead to 4-2. With his two-hit night, Moore is now slashing .234/.328/.458 with four homers, 15 RBI and six swipes on the season. Rotoworld Today, 6:50 pm
  • Jorge Mateo swipes base in loss to Mariners
    Jorge Mateo went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base as the Orioles fell to the Mariners on a rainy Saturday evening in Baltimore.

    Advice: Mateo led off the third inning with a double off of Mariners’ right-hander Luis Castillo, then raced around to score on a single off the bat of Ryan O’Hearn. He also singled in the second inning and swiped second base, but the Orioles were unable to cash him in. With his two-hit attack, Mateo is now hitting .260/.301/.468 on the season to go along with a pair of homers, five RBI and six stolen bases in 85 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 6:50 pm

    Bryson Stott went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Nationals on Saturday.

  • Freeman has four-hit game Saturday
    Tyler Freeman went 4-for-4 with a double, a walk, three runs scored, three RBI and a stolen base against the Twins on Saturday.



    Advice: Freeman continues to occupy the leadoff spot for Cleveland despite a .221 average. The stolen base was his sixth of the season. It was a huge game for Freeman, who remains merely a deep league option.

  • McNeil has two hits Saturday
    Jeff McNeil went 2-for-4 with a run scored, two RBI, a walk and a stolen base against the Marlins on Saturday.



    Advice: McNeil gave the Mets a sizable lead as his two-run single made it a 7-2 game in the fifth inning. It was a good game from the former batting champion, but he’s having a brutal season so far with a .239 average and only one home run.

  • Resting versus LHP
    Julien isn't in the Twins' lineup Saturday versus Cleveland.

    Advice: With lefty Logan Allen set to take the mound for the Guardians, Julien and his career .545 OPS against southpaws will stay put in Minnesota's dugout. Kyle Farmer will get the nod to start at second base instead and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:03 pm
