    • Tyler O’Neill blasts ninth homer against Cubs
      Tyler O’Neill went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and three runs scored against the Cubs on Saturday.

      Advice: O’Neill got the scoring started for the Red Sox, taking Ben Brown deep for a two-run homer in the first inning. He added a double to lead off the fifth and scored on a base hit. He singled in the eighth and crossed the plate for a third time on a double by Masataka Yoshida. The 28-year-old outfielder is off to a great start in Boston, slashing .333/.450/.758 with nine homers, 19 runs scored, and 11 RBI across 80 plate appearances. Rotoworld 50 minutes ago
       
    • Jackson Merrill (groin) returns to action Saturday
      Jackson Merrill (groin) returned to the Padres’ starting lineup on Saturday.

      Advice: Merrill missed each of the previous two games due to minor tightness in his right groin. He’s right back out there on Saturday though, starting in center field and batting eighth against Ranger Suarez and the Phillies. The 21-year-old rookie outfielder is hitting an impressive .318/.378/.409 with a homer, 12 RBI and four stolen bases in his first 27 games in the big leagues. Rotoworld Today, 2:20 pm
       
    • Back in action Saturday
      Merrill (groin) is starting in center field and batting eighth Saturday against the Phillies.

      Advice: Groin tightness has prevented Merrill from playing in the Padres' last two games, but he is seemingly feeling better heading into Saturday's contest. The 21-year-old is 5-for-18 with four RBI across his last five games, though all five of his hits in that span have been singles. Rotowire.com Today, 1:55 pm
       
    • D-backs optimistic Zac Gallen makes next start
      Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo expressed optimism late Friday that Zac Gallen (hamstring) will make his next start.

      Advice: Gallen was removed from Friday’s start against the Mariners in the sixth inning for precautionary reasons after experiencing right hamstring tightness. The 28-year-old righty has dealt with similar hamstring issues in the past, which is why Arizona didn’t want to take any chances. There should be some clarity on his status at some point in a few days when he throws his usual between-starts bullpen session, but for the moment, fantasy managers should plan on him taking the ball on Wednesday against the Dodgers at Chase Field.

    • Launches homer in loss
      O'Neill went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: O'Neill has hit safely in all three games since returning from the concussion list and five consecutive overall. His fourth-inning home run was his eighth of the season, leaving him tied for third in MLB. All eight of O'Neill's homers have been solo shots. Rotowire.com Today, 7:58 am
       
    • Goes deep in win
      Carter went 2-for-3 with a home run during Friday's 2-1 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Carter took Graham Ashcraft deep in the second inning to tie the game at 1-1, and his fourth-inning single gave him his third multi-hit performance in his last five games. In that span, the 21-year-old outfielder is 6-for-18 with three homers and four RBI, though he has also struck out seven times. Rotowire.com Today, 6:21 am

    • Punches out eight
      Eovaldi didn't factor into the decision during Friday's victory over Cincinnati, giving up one earned run on three hits and five walks while striking out eight batters across six innings.

      Advice: Coming off back-to-back losses, the 34-year-old righty found himself working from behind early after Elly De La Cruz walked and later stole home to score the first run of the game in the first inning. Eovaldi was able to regroup quickly and stifle the Reds' bats for the next five frames, though his struggles with limiting walks carried over from his previous start. He now owns a 3.00 ERA and 1.12 WHIP alongside a 36:17 K:BB through 36 innings in six games, and he'll look to pick up his second win of the season Thursday against the Nationals.

    • Quality start in no-decision
      Ashcraft allowed one earned run on seven hits and no walks while striking out three batters across 6.1 innings during Friday's loss against Texas. He didn't factor into the decision.

      Advice: Ashcraft needed to bounce back nicely Friday after giving up five runs to the Angels in five innings during his last start. He managed to do just that, as his lone blemish came in the second inning via an Evan Carter solo home run. A lack of production from the Reds' offense forced Ashcraft to settle for a no-decision, and he will carry a 4.40 ERA and 1.29 WHIP into his next start -- currently projected to come Wednesday in San Diego.

    • Nathan Eovaldi doesn’t let walks get him down
      Despite walking five, Nathan Eovaldi allowed just one run over six innings Friday against the Reds.

      Advice: All three hits Eovaldi allowed were singles, and he struck out eight. Eovaldi wasn’t involved in the decision, so he remains 1-2 with a 3.00 ERA through six starts. He’s due to face the Nationals next. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:22 pm
