  • Pops homer, scores three times
    Sheets went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, three runs scored and two walks in Friday's win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Sheets walked and scored in the fourth and eighth innings Friday, sandwiched around his solo shot in the sixth. He was recently stuck in a 33-game skid without a home run but he's gone deep three times over his last 10 games. He bumped his season slash line up to .235/.341/.417 with 21 extra-base hits and 19 runs scored through 220 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • Goes deep in win
    Vaughn went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Friday's win over Boston.

    Advice: Vaughn singled and scored in the fourth inning before knocking a solo blast in the sixth. After a 36-game homerless drought to begin the year, he's gone deep six times over his last 22 appearances, including two straight games. During that span, he's boosted his season OPS from .507 to .633 through 237 total plate appearances. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Gavin Sheets homers, scores three runs in win
    Gavin Sheets homered, walked twice and scored three runs Friday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Major league players had scored three runs in a game 159 times this season coming into the night, but this is the first time a White Sox player had done so. It’s also the first time Sheets has reached the mark in his 354 career games. It actually puts him at exactly 100 runs scored for his career. He’s been perfectly solid in hitting .235/.341/.417 for the White Sox. It’s just a mistake to ever ask him to play the outfield, something that will again become an issue once Eloy Jiménez gets healthy. Rotoworld 54 minutes ago

  • Toglia gets Little League grand slam against STL
    Michael Toglia hit a three-run triple in a loss Friday to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Ah, the ole Little League grand slam. Toglia tripled with the bases loaded and came around to score on a Nolan Gorman error. The 25-year-old has shown some pop with a .407 slugging mark, but his .148 average and .179 on-base mark answer any questions about whether he’s worthy of fantasy consideration.

  • Swats two homers
    Flores went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Friday's win over Texas.

    Advice: Flores opened the game's scoring with a solo blast in the second inning before going deep again in the fourth. He's knocked three home runs while driving in seven runs over his last two games. Before that, he was stuck in a 21-game homerless drought, during which he produced a .490 OPS. Flores is now slashing .224/.298/.353 with four home runs and 21 RBI through 52 appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:59 pm
     
  • Anthony Rizzo goes 0-for-5 in loss to Dodgers
    Anthony Rizzo popped out with the tying run on base to conclude a Yankees loss and an 0-for-5 game against the Dodgers on Friday.

    Advice: The Yankees might want to give one of their outfielders a crash course at first base with Rizzo showing no sign of turning things around and Jasson Domínguez making strides in his return from Tommy John. Rizzo has opened June 1-for-25, putting him at .228/.289/.344 for the season. Rotoworld Today, 7:55 pm
     
  • Santander crushes 13th home run in win Friday
    Anthony Santander went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run against the Rays on Friday.

    Advice: The home run was Santander’s 13th of the season and came against Rays starter Aaron Civale. While his average is a little lower than he’d like it to be this year at .227, the power is still there for Santander. Rotoworld Today, 6:50 pm
     
  • Patrick Wisdom goes hitless as leadoff man
    Patrick Wisdom went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts as the Cubs’ leadoff man Friday against the Reds.

    Advice: Wisdom had never before led off a game until this season. The Cubs have tried it three times versus southpaws and watched him go 2-for-12 with seven strikeouts and no runs scored. He’s been rather productive the rest of the time, but he hasn’t been able to earn many starts against righties. Rotoworld Today, 6:43 pm

  • Joe hits seventh home run Friday
    Connor Joe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Twins on Friday.

    Advice: The home run was Joe’s seventh of the year. He’s up to .270 with a .792 OPS on the season. While he’s seen regular playing time this year, he’s certainly proven to be better against left-handed pitching once again. Joe has a .288/.356/.500 line in 90 plate appearances against southpaws this season. Rotoworld Today, 6:20 pm
