    • Swats homer Saturday
      McCormick went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 13-5 loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: McCormick didn't start Saturday against right-hander Jack Flaherty, but he homered in the seventh inning after replacing Yordan Alvarez in left field. The long ball was McCormick's first of the season, though he's managed three extra-base hits over his last five contests. The 29-year-old is slashing .209/.273/.291 with 12 RBI, 10 runs scored and three stolen bases over 121 plate appearances, and he's unlikely to make a consistent impact while occupying a short-side platoon role.

    • Goes deep in win
      Vierling went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-5 win over the Astros.

      Advice: Vierling has homered twice over his last four contests, though both were solo shots that represent his only RBI since May 29. The outfielder is batting a modest .196 (10-for-51) over 12 contests in June, though he's still often hitting in the top third of the Tigers' lineup. Vierling is at a .266/.305/.468 slash line with nine homers, 30 RBI, 30 runs scored, nine doubles, four triples and no stolen bases through 63 games this year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:29 pm
       
    • Four hits in blowout win
      Perez went 4-for-6 with two RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 13-5 win over the Astros.

      Advice: Perez has been an all-or-nothing player in June, posting four multi-hit efforts and eight hitless games this month. While the lack of consistency is concerning, a four-hit game is a positive spot for the 24-year-old to build from. On the year, he's slashing .260/.320/.401 with three home runs, five steals, 17 RBI and 27 runs scored across 195 plate appearances. Perez also hit atop the order Saturday for the first time in five games, though he is usually somewhere in the top third of the lineup against right-handers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:20 pm
       
    • Homers, drives in three in loss
      Ramos went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in a 4-3 loss to the Angels on Saturday.

      Advice: Ramos did all the damage for the Giants on Saturday, hitting a two-run home run off Patrick Sandoval in the first inning and adding an RBI double in the fifth. He later doubled again in the seventh. Ramos has been absolutely raking in June, hitting .392 with six home runs, 17 RBI and eight multi-hit games. He has been one of this season's best early surprises, hitting .325 with 8 home runs and 30 RBI in 126 at-bats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:14 pm
       
    • Brandon Nimmo has two hits, two RBI in win
      Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in a win over the Padres.

      Advice: Nimmo got the scoring going with an RBI double in the fourth inning and then tacked on an extra run with an RBI single in the eighth. It’s been a tough year for the 31-year-old, but he has two hits in each of the two games against the Padres, so perhaps he can turn it into a much better summer. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:36 pm
       
    • Swats seventh homer
      Happ went 2-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals.

      Advice: The 29-year-old outfielder took John King deep in the seventh inning, Happ's first homer in June. The performance snapped a 1-for-24 slump over his prior seven games, and on the season he's slashing .218/.328/.376 over 65 contests with seven homers, five steals, 32 runs and 33 RBI.

    • Chas McCormick hits HR in loss to Tigers
      Chas McCormick went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Tigers on Saturday.

      Advice: McCormick didn’t start this game, but all five Astros’ runs were driven in by players who were on the bench for the first pitch. The home run was McCormick’s first of the season but was a no-doubted, hit 428 feet at 106.5 mph. He’s battled through injuries this year and is hitting just .209 on the season, but Jake Meyers has also started to struggle, so there is a chance that McCormick could push for more playing time if he can start swinging the bat well.

    • Alek Thomas moving rehab to Triple-A on Monday
      Alek Thomas (hamstring) will have his minor league rehab assignment shifted to Triple-A Reno on Monday.

      Advice: The 24-year-old outfielder has been playing games in the Rookie-level Arizona Complex League over the weekend, so he’ll step up the competition level for a few games at Triple-A before he’s cleared to return to the Diamondbacks’ outfield. If all goes according to plan, he should return before the end of next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:33 pm

    • Jake Cave (head) returns to action on Saturday
      Jake Cave (head) returned to the Rockies’ starting lineup on Saturday.

      Advice: Cave was scratched from Friday night’s lineup after he was hit in the head by a line drive during batting practice. Fortunately, he sustained just a minor cut to his forehead and is able to return to action the following evening. The 31-year-old outfielder will bat seventh against Jared Jones and the Pirates on Saturday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:27 pm
