    • 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 24 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
       
    • 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

    • Knocks grand slam
      Haniger went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's win over Arizona.

      Advice: Haniger's blast in the sixth inning gave the Mariners enough cushion to pull away with a victory. It was his fourth homer of the season and first since April 15, snapping a seven-game drought. The veteran outfielder is 3-for-25 (.120) with 11 strikeouts and no walks over his last six contests. On the year, Haniger is slashing .244/.306/.422 through 98 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:09 pm
       
    • Mitch Haniger hits grand slam in victory over ARI
      Mitch Haniger hit a grand slam in the Mariners’ 6-1 win over the Diamondbacks on Friday.

      Advice: Haniger broke open the game with a grand slam to turn a 2-1 lead into a 6-1 cushion. The 33-year-old veteran has driven in 18 runs with the salami over 26 games — putting him at a triple-digit pace — and he’s swatted four homers on the young campaign. There will always be health concerns with Haniger, but he can be an effective option when he’s on the field. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:08 pm
       
    • Tyler O’Neill goes 2-for-4, homers against Cubs
      Tyler O’Neill went 2-for-4 and homered for Boston’s lone run against the Cubs on Friday.

      Advice: Drawing comparisons to Mike Trout, O’Neill has eight homers and nine RBI this year. It’s hardly all his fault, as 45 of his 74 plate appearances have come with the bases empty. They all did tonight, as Jarren Duran was 0-for-4 from the leadoff spot ahead of O’Neill batting second. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:25 pm
       
    • Not starting Friday
      Merrill (groin) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

      Advice: Merrill was taken out of the lineup ahead of Thursday's loss to the Rockies as a precaution, and he was expected to be back Friday, per Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune. It appears the groin injury is still lingering, however, and the rookie outfielder will not start for a second consecutive game. With Merrill out of the lineup, Jose Azocar will start in center field, Jurickson Profar will be in left field and Manny Machado will make his return from his paternity leave to start at third base.
