    Matt Carpenter went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and a solo home run against the Rockies on Saturday.

  • Diaz has two-hit game Saturday
    Yandy Diaz went 2-for-4 against the Orioles on Saturday.

    Advice: It was a quiet afternoon for the Rays as they were shutout. Diaz had the only two hits for Tampa Bay. After wining the batting title in the American League last year, he’s hitting just .245 so far this season. Diaz’ .273 BABIP this year is well below his .320 career BABIP. That doesn’t explain his lack of power this year as his .105 ISO is way down from his .192 ISO last season. Rotoworld Today, 4:25 pm

    Ryan O’Hearn went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a solo home run against the Rays on Saturday.

    Advice: O’Hearn’s home run was his ninth of the year. He’s been a decent source of power in deeper formats. O’Hearn hits in the middle of one of the best lineups in the league against right-handed pitching. He’s hitting .285 with nine home runs and 21 RBI this year. Rotoworld Today, 4:20 pm

  • Potentially significant injury
    Manager Scott Servais said postgame that he was "concerned" about the heel injury that held France out of Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Royals, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

    Advice: France was scratched from Saturday's lineup with what was initially deemed a foot injury. However, Servais shared that France is actually dealing with a heel injury that stems from the first baseman being hit by a pitch Friday. France will continue to be evaluated and a status update is expected to be delivered sometime Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:57 pm

    Harper went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Mets.

    Advice: After doubling in the first inning, Harper got the Phillies on the board in the fourth with a solo shot off Sean Manaea, his 15th homer this year.

Overall, the 31-year-old Harper is slashing .276/.384/.535 on the year with 45 RBI and 36 runs scored across 258 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:11 pm
