    • Homers in extra-inning loss
      Melendez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss versus the Mariners.

      Advice: Melendez has just three hits over his last 10 games, but all of them have been homers. His blast Sunday tied the game at 3-3 in the ninth inning. Melendez is up to seven homers this season, but he's taken a step back overall with a .165/.228/.346 slash line through 197 plate appearances on the year. He's added 19 RBI, 17 runs scored and two stolen bases, and he's still seeing a majority of the playing time in left field despite his poor hitting. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:20 pm
       
    • MJ Melendez hits game-tying homer in ninth
      MJ Melendez hit a game-tying two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth Sunday against the Royals.

      Advice: Melendez also had a two-run homer as part of a four-RBI game Friday. He’d seem to be in desperate need of the surge, though really, we’d argue that the Royals should have sent him down weeks ago. That’s not to say that he can’t turn things around in the majors — maybe he’s starting to do so — but he’s batting .165 and hasn’t had a multi-hit game since May 10.

    • Yordan Alvarez powers Astros to win over Angels
      Yordan Alvarez went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer on Saturday, leading the Astros to a 6-1 victory over the Angels.

      Advice: Alvarez is seeing the ball exceptionally well of late, slashing .367/.430/.633 with six homers and 15 RBI over his last 28 games to raise his batting average from .239 to .296 during that period. The 26-year-old fantasy superstar took Angels starter Tyler Anderson deep in the fifth inning for his 13th round-tripper of the season as part of an impressive three-hit performance.

    • Three extra-base hits in win
      Alvarez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two doubles and two total runs scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Angels.

      Advice: Alvarez is seeing the ball well lately, going 19-for-43 (.442) with four homers, five doubles, 11 RBI and just three strikeouts over his last 11 contests. He's even chipped in a pair of stolen bases in that span. Alvarez is up to 13 homers, 33 RBI, 37 runs scored, 15 doubles and three steals while slashing .296/.369/.514 over 64 contests. He's picked up more time in left field recently with Chas McCormick sliding over to right to cover for the absence of Kyle Tucker (lower leg). Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:31 pm
       
    • Luis Robert Jr. gets day off Saturday vs. Red Sox
      Luis Robert Jr. is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: It appears to be a routine maintenance day for Robert, who has started four consecutive games for the White Sox since returning earlier this week from a lengthy stay on the injured list. There’s no reason for Chicago to push it from a health standpoint following an extended layoff, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see Robert get some extra days off over the next few weeks to keep him fresh.

    • Not starting Saturday
      Robert is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Boston.

      Advice: Oscar Colas will shift to center field Saturday, while Zach DeLoach will start in right field against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello. In four games since returning from the injured list, Robert has gone 3-for-16 with a pair of homers and eight strikeouts. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:12 am
       
    • Continues to mash
      Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run in Friday's 10-3 win over Arizona.

      Advice: Tatis set the tone for a big offensive game by the Padres with his first-inning solo homer. The long ball extended his hitting streak to 13 games, during which he has slashed .434/.474/.660 with three home runs, seven RBI, nine runs and a stolen base. Tatis leads San Diego with 11 homers on the campaign and has driven in 33 runs while slashing .282/.357/.458 and swiping seven bags overall. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:24 am
       
    • Fernando Tatis Jr. goes deep in lopsided victory
      Fernando Tatis Jr. crushed his 11th homer of the season on Friday in the Padres’ blowout win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Tatis delivered a tone-setting 415-foot solo shot off Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt in the opening frame, which led to a 10-run, 14-hit explosion for San Diego’s struggling lineup. The 25-year-old fantasy superstar is batting .282 with 43 runs scored, 11 homers, 33 RBI and seven steals across 67 contests so far. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:31 am
       
    • Cracks sixth homer
      Melendez went 1-for-3 with a homer, a walk and four RBI in Friday's win against the Mariners.

      Advice: Melendez blasted a 406-foot, three-run homer off Bryce Miller in the fourth inning before adding another RBI via a groundout in the sixth. This marks the 25-year-old's second four-RBI game of the season, with the first coming April 19. Melendez will try to build upon this performance, as he entered the contest hitting a ghastly .111 (5-for-45) with 13 strikeouts over his last 15 games. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:47 pm
