    • Willy Adames hits two homers versus former club
      Willy Adames hit a pair of homers to drive in four runs against his former team in a win over the Rays on Wednesday.

      Advice: Adames has three homers and eight RBI the last two days. It looked like he might bat lower in the order than usual this year, and he did hit fifth against the Mets on Opening Day. However, he’s hit fourth or higher every game since, and he’s now up to 21 RBI in 30 games for the season. Rotoworld Today, 1:49 pm
       
    • Cranks two more homers
      Adames went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Wednesday's 7-1 win over the Rays.

      Advice: Adames extended the Brewers' lead to 3-0 with a solo shot off Zach Eflin in the sixth inning before breaking the game open with a three-run blast off Erasmo Ramirez in the seventh. Adames now has three homers and eight RBI in his last two contests after going 16 games without a long ball. Overall, the 28-year-old shortstop is slashing .278/.373/.496 with six homers, 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and four steals through 30 games this season. Rotowire.com Today, 1:23 pm
       
    • Slugs fourth homer
      Adames went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, four RBI and a walk during Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Rays.

      Advice: Adames hit a sacrifice fly in the first inning to drive in William Contreras and put Milwaukee on the scoreboard, but his fifth-inning three-run shot off Jacob Lopez blew the game open and gave Milwaukee a 6-1 lead. The 28-year-old shortstop boasts a .270/.369/.441 slash line through 130 plate appearances this season, though his performance was trending downward prior to his outburst Tuesday.

    • Willy Adames homers, drives in four vs. Rays
      Willy Adames went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Rays.

      Advice: Adames put the Brewers on the board with a sacrifice fly in the first inning but sent a three-run blast into the stands in the fifth inning to give the Brewers a comfortable 6-1 advantage. It was a strong way for Adames to close out a month in which he slashed .270/.369/.441 while belting four homers and driving in 17 runs. He’s also scored 16 runs. He’s hitting for a solid average and providing plenty of runs scored and runs driven in, making for a solid player across multiple categories heading into May. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:51 pm
       
    • Tee work from both sides of plate
      Edman (wrist) took swings off a tee from both sides of the plate last week, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

      Advice: Edman had been limited to hitting only from the right side due to lingering concerns about his surgically repaired right wrist. However, he's now progressed to hitting from both sides of the dish and has done so without any soreness. Edman will continue a hitting progression as tolerated and appears far off from a return, but he's progressing. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:18 pm

    • Plates seven in monster game
      Rafaela went 4-for-4 with a home run and seven RBI in Saturday's 17-0 victory over the Cubs.

      Advice: There were big numbers throughout the Red Sox' lineup in this laugher, but Rafaela takes top billing. His home run came in the seventh inning off reliever Colten Brewer, and he also had a pair of doubles, one of which that cleared the bases in the fifth inning. As if that wasn't enough, Rafaela also stole his fourth base of the season and scored three runs. The 23-year-old had just 14 hits all season coming into Saturday's action, along with a 26.8 percent strikeout rate. While Saturday's performance was a peak at Rafaela's upside, he'll likely remain a volatile fantasy play. Rotowire.com Saturday, 5:31 pm

    • Ceddanne Rafaela drives in seven in blowout win
      Ceddanne Rafaela went 4-for-4 with a home run, three runs scored, seven RBI, and a stolen base to lead the Red Sox to a 17-0 blowout win over the Cubs on Saturday.

      Advice: Rafaela had an incredible day at the plate as the Red Sox offense exploded for 17 runs on Saturday against the Cubs. After knocking a base hit in the second inning, he plated a run on a sacrifice fly in the fourth. With the bases loaded in the fifth, he cleared them all with a double to break open the game, then stole third and scored on a groundout. Rafaela wasn’t done there. He took Colten Brewer deep for a two-run homer in seventh before adding another RBI-double in the eighth. The 23-year-old outfielder has struggled through the first month. He ends the day slashing .191/.225/.351 with two homers, 17 RBI, and four steals across 102 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:13 pm

    • Red Sox make Ceddanne Rafaela everyday shortstop
      Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed Thursday that Ceddanne Rafaela is their new everyday shortstop.

      Advice: There was some hesitation earlier this month from the Red Sox about potentially moving Rafaela back to shortstop in the wake of Trevor Story’s season-ending shoulder injury. However, they’ve officially made the move in part to shore up their lackluster middle infield defense and also get Wilyer Abreu’s hot bat into the lineup more often in a corner outfield spot. It’ll be Jarren Duran taking over in center field everyday until further notice. It’s a significant development for fantasy purposes as Rafaela gains middle infield eligibility, which gives him some additional appeal from a roster construction standpoint, even in shallow mixed leagues.

    • Declared everyday shortstop
      Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Thursday that Rafaela is viewed as the team's everyday shortstop at this point, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: Cora has said as much through his actions -- Rafaela will make his sixth straight start at shortstop Thursday versus the Guardians -- and now the skipper has confirmed it with his words. Rafaela has received high marks for his defense both at shortstop and in center field, and using him at shortstop with Trevor Story (shoulder) out for the season helps address the Red Sox's logjam in the outfield. With Rafaela settling in at shortstop, Wilyer Abreu has become an everyday player in the outfield, making 10 straight starts. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:55 am
