    • Hits go-ahead home run
      Donovan went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 win versus the Pirates.

      Advice: The 27-year-old took Mitch Keller deep in the sixth inning for what turned out to be the game-deciding run. Donovan extended his hitting streak to eight contests and snapped a streak of 26 games without a homer in the process. He has gone 10-for-30 (.333) during his hitting streak and now carries a .248/.325/.380 slash line with five home runs and 29 RBI for the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:46 pm

    • Blasts homer in win
      Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's win against the Pirates.

      Advice: He plated the first runs of the game, taking Mitch Keller deep in the third inning. With the long ball Goldschmidt snapped a 14-game homerless drought. The veteran now has a hit in 11 of his last 12 games, but he still has just five RBI over his last 15 contests. The first baseman has a .226/.299/.354 slash line with eight home runs and 27 RBI through 65 games this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:28 pm
       
    • Brendan Donovan homers in Cardinals’ win
      Brendan Donovan hit his fifth homer Thursday to help the Cardinals edge the Pirates 4-3.

      Advice: Donovan has been dropped in the lineup, even against righties, but he’s making a case for another opportunity hitting first or second with his current eight-game hitting streak. He’s back up to .248/.325/.380 overall, even though his .271 BABIP is 50 points lower this his career mark. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:57 pm

    • Nolan Gorman goes 0-for-4 against Pirates
      Nolan Gorman finished 0-for-4 as the Cardinals’ cleanup man Thursday against the Pirates.

      Advice: Gorman is 3-for-31 in his last eight games, putting him back down to .215/.297/.463 for the season. That’s still a pretty good line in the current offensive climate, but he’d be better cast as a No. 6 hitter. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:57 pm

    • Raisel Iglesias gets 17th save against Orioles
      Raisel Iglesias picked up his 17th save with a scoreless ninth against the Orioles on Thursday.

      Advice: Even though the Braves are struggling to score, Iglesias has had easier save chances than most closers; this was the ninth of his 19 save chances (17 successful) in which he’s come in with a three-run lead and the bases empty. He’s entered with a one-run lead just three times. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:01 pm
       
    • Collects 17th save
      Iglesias allowed one hit while tossing a scoreless ninth inning to collect the save Thursday against the Orioles.

      Advice: Iglesias hit the first batter he faced, then allowed a one-out single but settled down to record the final two outs and pick up his 17th save in 19 attempts. Iglesias has only allowed one run over his last nine outings since May 17, with each appearance lasting exactly one inning. He's gone 7-for-7 in save opportunities over that span.

    • Absent from lineup
      Swanson is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Tampa Bay.

      Advice: It looks to be a simple day of rest for Swanson, who had started each of the previous 20 contests. Nico Hoerner will shift over to shortstop and Michael Busch will handle second base for the Cubs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:28 pm
       
    • Belts another long ball
      Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's loss to Texas.

      Advice: Ohtani gave the Dodgers an early lead with a 424-foot solo shot in the first inning, but Los Angeles managed only one run the rest of the game. The homer was the second in as many days for the slugger, and he's up to 17 on the campaign, tied for sixth-most in the majors. Ohtani has added 44 RBI, 51 runs, 15 stolen bases and a .311/.383/.587 slash line through 298 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:37 am
       
    • Could start rehab games Tuesday
      Contreras (forearm) is hoping to begin a rehab assignment around June 18, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

      Advice: Contreras is just five weeks into a projected 10-week timetable following surgery to repair a fractured left forearm, but Goold writes that the catcher is "eager to push the timetable for his return." He took batting practice in the cage Thursday and has been catching bullpen sessions without issue. If Contreras is indeed able to start a rehab assignment by Tuesday, he could be just a week or so away from activation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:26 am
