  • Goes deep again
    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Ramirez is 12-for-33 (.364) with six homers and 14 RBI over his last eight games. He's also leading the majors with 51 RBI thanks to his recent surge. The third baseman hasn't reached the 30-homer mark in either of the last two seasons, but he's halfway there now with 15 through 51 contests, to go with a hearty .267/.314/.539 slash line, 35 runs scored, seven stolen bases, nine doubles and a triple.

  • Three hits including homer
    Westburg went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: The O's did all their scoring in the eighth inning, and Westburg slugged the last of three Baltimore homers in the frame when he took Michael Kopech deep. It was the 25-year-old infielder's first multi-hit performance since May 15, snapping a 4-for-29 (.138) swoon. Despite the mini-slump, Westburg sports a .285/.342/.508 slash line on the season with eight homers, five steals, 26 runs and 31 RBI in 48 contests. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:41 am

  • Connects for first homer of 2024
    Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Duran finally got on the board with his first long ball of the season, though that wasn't enough to save him from being lifted for a defensive replacement (Travis Jankowski) later in the game. While Duran now has a .284 batting average, he has just a .683 OPS and his playing time has been trending downward. The 25-year-old had been in the starting lineup for just two of the Rangers' last six games entering Saturday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:37 pm

  • Ramirez blasts 15th home run Saturday
    Jose Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Angels on Saturday.

    Advice: Ramirez now has 10 home runs, 26 RBI and only eight strikeouts in his last 19 games. He’s the first player to reach 50 RBI overall this season. Ramirez’s average is up to .267 and the home run was his 15th on the year. After getting off to a slow start, he’s come on strong lately and is on pace for another great season.

  • Rafael Devers scores twice in loss to Brewers
    Rafael Devers went 2-for-4 with two runs scored Saturday in a loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: One of the hits was a double. The 27-year-old saw his six-game homer streak come to an end last week and went hitless over his last two games, but it’d be hard to complain about a slash of .276/.372/.538. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:02 pm
     
  • Ezequiel Duran launches first homer vs. Twins
    Ezequiel Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo homer against the Twins on Saturday.

    Advice: Duran hadn’t hit a home run over 34 games to start the season going into Saturday’s contest against the Twins. He finally got on the board with a solo shot off Chris Paddack in the fifth inning. The 25-year-old utility man is getting sporadic playing time around the diamond. He’s hitting 284/.346/.337 with eight runs and six RBI across 104 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 2:11 pm

  • Selected from Triple-A
    The Yankees selected Smith's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

    Advice: Smith spent time with the Yankees for a short stint in mid-April, though he never registered a plate appearance while in New York. He has slashed .204/.270/.286 across 111 plate appearances in the minors this season, and his time with the Yankees will likely be short-lived again due to DJ LeMahieu (foot) trending toward a return during the upcoming series against the Angels.

  • Swipes third bag
    Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: Getting the start at second base and batting seventh, Kiner-Falefa was the only Blue Jay to record multiple hits on an afternoon when offense was at a premium. The 29-year-old utility player has seven hits in the last four games, but that comes on the heels of an 0-for-20 swoon. On the season, Kiner-Falefa is slashing .264/.305/.382 with three homers, three steals, 13 RBI and 14 runs in 50 contests. Rotowire.com Saturday, 1:26 pm

  • Yankees promote Kevin Smith from Triple-A
    Yankees selected the contract of INF Kevin Smith from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: With Jon Berti (calf) heading to the injured list, Smith will provide infield depth for the Bombers for at least the remainder of the weekend until DJ LeMahieu is ready to return from the injured list. Smith, 27, has hit just .173/.215/.301 with eight homers and 25 RBI over 333 plate appearances in his career at the big league level. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.
