  • Registers steal Friday
    Winn went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 11-2 loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: Winn appears to be finding his swing again -- he's gone 4-for-14 (.286) over his last five contests. He's still gone 20 games without a multi-hit effort after having seven of them in his first 15 contests this season. The shortstop is 6-for-7 on stolen base attempts and is batting .267 with a .683 OPS through 120 plate appearances on the year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:37 pm
     
  • Homers off bench Friday
    Gorman hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat in Friday's 11-2 loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: Gorman entered the game as a defensive replacement after the Brewers turned it into a rout. Gorman's ninth-inning blasted ended his 0-for-14 skid that spanned all of May prior to Friday. The second baseman is slashing a meager .179/.262/.350 with five homers, 13 RBI, nine runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases over 130 plate appearances. Gorman began the year in a near-everyday role at the keystone, but he's now sat out against the last three southpaws the Cardinals have faced, with Jose Fermin picking up the playing time. Gorman had reverse splits last season and that has carried over into 2024, but he's simply not hitting well enough overall to justify a full-time role at this point of the season.

  • Swats fourth homer
    Freeman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: Freeman hasn't been able to turn his hitting around in May -- he's gone 4-for-26 (.154) through nine games this month and is batting just .193 on the year. His homer Friday was his first since April 19, and two of his hits in May have gone for extra bases. The 24-year-old has four homers, 13 RBI, 18 runs scored and four steals through 126 plate appearances. It's fair to question whether Freeman has earned his near-everyday role, but the Guardians are unlikely to shake things up too dramatically while Steven Kwan (hamstring) is out.

  • Goes yard again Friday
    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-3 loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: Ramirez has gone 8-for-23 (.348) over his last six games, and half of his hits in that span have left the yard. He started the year slowly from a power standpoint, but the third baseman is up to nine homers, 33 RBI and a .471 slugging percentage through 38 contests thanks to his recent surge. He's still a little light for batting average (.245), but that's nothing to be concerned about while he's squaring up well. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:26 pm
     
  • Homers in Friday's loss
    Estrada went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Estrada is enjoying a strong start to May, hitting safely in eight of his 10 games this month. He's gone 12-for-40 (.300) in that span, adding two homers and eight RBI. The second baseman is at a .248/.276/.434 slash line with six homers, 21 RBI, 17 runs scored and one stolen base through 39 contests overall. Estrada is on pace for a career year in homers, but his overall performance is down and the Giants' weak offense hasn't helped him rack up more counting stats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:17 pm
     
  • Inside-the-park homer in win
    Fairchild hit an inside-the-park home run in his lone at-bat in Friday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

    Advice: Fairchild pinch hit for Jake Fraley in the eighth inning and delivered an insurance run. It was just Fairchild's second homer of the campaign, both of which have come in May. The outfielder is slashing .197/.260/.296 with eight RBI, eight runs scored, five stolen bases and a double through 78 plate appearances this season. Fairchild remains the Reds' fourth outfielder, primarily drawing into the lineup versus southpaws. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:08 pm
     
  • Third straight two-steal game
    De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

    Advice: De La Cruz stole a base after each of his hits, no doubt taking advantage of the Giants starting their fourth-string catcher, Jakson Reetz, in this contest. This was De La Cruz's third straight game with multiple steals, and he's achieved that seven times this season. The speedy infielder is up to 25 thefts on 29 attempts in 2024 while maintaining a .271/.370/.519 slash line through 38 games. He's added eight home runs, 20 RBI, 28 runs scored, seven doubles and a triple while serving as the Reds' No. 2 hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:05 pm
     
  • Notches fourth steal
    Rojas went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Friday's 8-1 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: Rojas has five multi-hit efforts over eight games in May, going 13-for-31 (.419) with two steals and two extra-base hits in that span. The light-hitting 29-year-old is playing well atop the Mariners' lineup versus right-handed pitchers while splitting time between third base and left field. Friday's effort has him at a .351/.417/.526 slash line with three home runs, four steals, eight RBI and 12 runs scored over 108 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:54 pm

  • Three hits, five RBI in win
    Moore went 3-for-4 with a home run and five RBI in Friday's 8-1 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: Moore hit a two-run home run in the fifth inning, then added a two-run single in the fifth and an RBI single in the seventh. He had recorded just one multi-hit effort and a total of four RBI over his previous 12 contests. The 31-year-old lifted his slash line to .226/.333/.429 with three homers, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored and five stolen bases through 99 plate appearances. Moore continues to operate as the Mariners' top shortstop while J.P. Crawford (oblique) is on the mend. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:51 pm
