  • Mashes another homer
    Santander went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 6-3 win over the Rays.

  • Swats pair of doubles Friday
    France went 2-for-3 with an RBI ground-rule double, another two-bagger, a walk, a hit-by-pitch and a run in a loss to the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: France made up for missing out on the Mariners' first-inning fun by lacing a ground-rule double in the fourth to plate J.P. Crawford and extend Seattle's lead to 8-0 at the time. The 29-year-old has dialed in his stroke since the latter part of May and is swinging with more authority, generating a .304 average and .950 OPS over the last 14 contests with six extra-base hits (four doubles, two home runs) and 10 RBI during that span.

  • Reaches three times in loss
    Busch went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Busch came into the contest in a bit of a slump, as he was just 1-for-10 over his previous six games. Overall, he's slowed down some after a strong start to the season, though he still has a solid .783 OPS and provides decent pop against righties. While Busch continues to generally sit against lefties, he has at least batted .304 (7-for-23) against them when given the opportunity. Rotowire.com Today, 7:32 am
  • Starts at third base
    Duran started at third base and went 2-for-3 an RBI in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Giants.

    Advice: Duran entered the lineup with Corey Seager (hamstring) on the bench. Josh Smith, the primary fill-in for Josh Jung (wrist) at third base, moved to shortstop, paving the way for Duran to make his eighth start of the season at the hot corner. He's hit safely in four consecutive games and 11 of the last 13. Seager's injury is not considered serious, but he could need a couple more days, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com.

  • Playing over McCormick
    Cabbage went 1-for-4 with a run scored Friday against the Angels.

    Advice: Cabbage started his second straight game in right field in the absence of Kyle Tucker (shin), notably appearing in the lineup over both Mauricio Dubon and Chas McCormick. Cabbage struggles to make consistent contact, but he has showcased a strong power-speed profile in the majors that could be intriguing if he continues to get consistent playing time.

  • Makes impact in Friday's start
    Toglia went 2-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored Friday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Toglia drew his second straight start in right field over Hunter Goodman since being recalled to the majors Thursday. The Rockies have rotated their outfield regularly this season, but Toglia appears to be the preferred option in right field for the time being. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:26 pm
