  • Turns game around with homer
    Estrada went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and three total runs scored in Friday's 10-5 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Estrada's fifth-inning blast put the Giants ahead for the first time in the contest, and they held the lead the rest of the way. The second baseman had gone 4-for-22 (.182) over his previous six contests, though he had a pair of extra-base hits in that span. Estrada is up to an acceptable .250/.274/.435 slash line with seven homers, 24 RBI, 21 runs scored, eight doubles, one triple and one stolen base through 175 plate appearances in a starting role this season.

  • Michael Massey goes 3-for-4, homers versus A’s
    Michael Massey finished 3-for-4 and hit a two-run homer versus the A’s on Friday.

    Advice: Massey lifted his OPS from .633 to .708 tonight. That he’s walked just once in 85 plate appearances isn’t great, but his strikeout rate is down and his exit velocity numbers are fine. It’s doubtful he’ll be of use in shallow mixed leagues anytime soon, but he’s definitely doing enough to stick in the lineup. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Thairo Estrada picks up three hits, homer vs. COL
    Thairo Estrada homered while going 3-for-5 and scoring three runs against the Giants on Friday.

    Advice: Estrada swatted his seventh homer of the season with a three-run homer in the fifth inning that also gave San Francisco a 5-4 lead. The 28-year-old also singled twice and scored three runs in a massive fantasy effort for the veteran infielder. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago

  • Belts another leadoff homer
    Betts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 7-3 win over the Reds.

    Advice: Betts' last two homers have been of the leadoff variety, and they're his only two long balls in May. He's hitting .283 this month, though that's dropped his season-long average to a still-stunning .341 through 47 contests. Betts has added eight homers, 29 RBI, 40 runs scored, eight stolen bases, 11 doubles and three triples over 218 plate appearances while serving as the everyday leadoff hitter.

  • Xander Bogaerts swipes two bases against Braves
    Xander Bogaerts collected two singles and two steals versus the Braves on Friday.

    Advice: The least struggling hitters can do is steal a few bases for those rostering them in fantasy leagues. Bogaerts doubled his steal total for the season tonight, collecting two in a game for the first time since last May 5. He now has 12 two-steal games in his career, which is kind of impressive because he has just 81 career steals. He has only eight two-homer games, though he’s totaled 179 homers in his 12 seasons.

  • Swats homer in win
    Gorman went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 10-6 win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Gorman's bat is coming around -- he's 6-for-19 (.316) with two homers and four RBI over his last six games. The second baseman took Boston starter Brayan Bello deep in the second inning of this contest. Gorman is up to a .193/.288/.370 slash line with six homers, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored, no stolen bases and six doubles through 153 plate appearances, and he's not helping his cause to remain in an everyday role with a 34.6 percent strikeout rate. While the threat isn't immediate, Gorman could be one of the players to see a reduced role once Tommy Edman (wrist) is able to return to action. Rotowire.com Today, 9:43 pm

  • Tallies hit in return
    India went 1-for-4 and scored a run during Friday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: India had missed the last two games due to a migraine, but the issue subsided ahead of Friday's contest, allowing him to return to the leadoff spot in Cincinnati's lineup. During his first game back, the 27-year-old infielder singled in the fourth inning and came around to score the Reds' first run of the game, though Cincinnati's offense was ultimately unable to keep up with the Dodgers'. India is now 11-for-48 (.229) with one RBI since the beginning of May. Rotowire.com Today, 9:42 pm
     
  • Colt Keith picks up four hits in victory over ARI
    Colt Keith went 4-for-5 while scoring three runs and driving in two Friday against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: It’s the first four-hit game of Keith’s career, and also the first time the rookie has scored multiple runs in a contest. The 22-year-old has mostly been ineffective thus far, but perhaps this is the contest that gets Keith going for the remainder of 2024. Weirder things have happened. Rotoworld Today, 9:23 pm

  • Four hits in blowout win
    Keith went 4-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 13-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: While all four hits were singles, it was still a big game for the infielder, who entered Friday hitting .171 on the year. That's up to .197 after this contest, and he's batting .391 (9-for-23) over his last seven games. Keith has a .477 OPS, no home runs, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored, three stolen bases and three doubles through 133 plate appearances. He should continue to play in a strong-side platoon role at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 9:16 pm
