  • Goes deep again
    Arenado went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Arenado has homered in each of his last two games. The third baseman's power numbers are still way down -- he's at five homers and a .379 slugging percentage through 53 contests -- but his recent stretch could be a sign of him heating up. On the year, he's batting .257 with 26 RBI, 22 runs scored, 10 doubles and no stolen bases over 226 plate appearances. Not counting the COVID-shortened 2020 season, Arenado hasn't hit less than 26 home runs since 2014, but he needs to get going to hit that mark this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:03 pm
     
  • Mark Vientos goes 3-for-5 in start
    Mark Vientos went 3-for-5 with two RBI in a 10-5 win over the Diamondbacks on Friday.

    Advice: Vientos received a vote of confidence before this game with Brett Baty being sent down to the minor leagues. That gives Vientos full runway to be the Mets’ starting third baseman for the foreseeable future. He should firmly be on all fantasy radars with a .327/.377/.592 slash line in 49 at-bats this season.

  • Jake Burger goes 3-for-5 in win over Rangers
    Jake Burger went 3-for-5 with a couple of runs scored Friday in the win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Burger came into the night with a hideous .240 OBP, but the Marlins still had him hitting second in their lineup. Perhaps he’s starting to pull out of his slump; he has seven hits in his last three games, raising his average from .189 to .218. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:02 pm

  • Colt Keith blasts two-run homer in loss on Friday
    Colt Keith blasted a two-run homer on Friday night as the Tigers fell to the Red Sox in Boston.

    Advice: The 22-year-old second baseman made the final score look at least a bit closer with his 385-foot (101.4 mph EV) two-run shot off of Greg Weissert in the eighth inning. Keith finished the night 1-for-4 and is now hitting .238/.296/.311 with a pair of homers and 19 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:42 pm
     
  • Edmundo Sosa powers Phillies past Cardinals
    Edmundo Sosa clobbered a two-run homer on Friday night, powering the Phillies to a 4-2 victory over the visiting Cardinals.

    Advice: The 28-year-old shortstop capped off a three-run rally in the second inning with his mammoth 439-foot (110.0 mph EV) two-run blast on the first pitch that he saw from Miles Mikolas. That would be his only hit in three at-bats on the night. Sosa has been swinging a very hot stick for the Phillies — slashing .307/.378/.591 with four long balls and 15 RBI in his first 99 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:58 pm
     
  • Resting Friday
    LeMahieu is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: After being reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday, LeMahieu played three straight games against the Angels, going 2-for-9 with three runs and three walks. He'll begin Friday's contest in the dugout as Oswaldo Cabrera gets the start at third base and bats eighth against Giants right-hander Jordan Hicks. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:51 pm

  • Brewers option Owen Miller back to Triple-A
    Brewers optioned INF/OF Owen Miller to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: With Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) returning from the injured list on Friday, there was no longer room on the bench for Miller. He’ll return to an everyday role at Triple-A Nashville until his services are needed again at the big league level. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:51 pm

  • Sent back to Nashville
    The Brewers optioned Miller to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Advice: Miller was recalled from Nashville earlier in May to provide depth as Rhys Hoskins (hamstring) headed to the injured list. Now that Hoskins is back, Miller will be pushed back to Triple-A. The 27-year-old infielder has slashed .185/.185/.222 across 27 big-league plate appearances this season, but he figures to be on the shortlist for a return to Milwaukee should the Brewers run into more depth issues.

  • Recalled by San Francisco
    The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

    Advice: The move corresponds with Marco Luciano being placed on the injured list due to a right hamstring strain. Since being optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on May 17, Schmitt has gone 14-for-44 with 12 runs, four home runs and 12 RBI. With both Luciano and Nick Ahmed (wrist) on the IL, Schmitt will likely form a platoon at shortstop with the lefty-hitting Brett Wisely. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:41 pm
