  • Blasts three-run shot
    Bart went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and two runs scored in Thursday's loss to the Brewers while also drawing a walk.

    Advice: Bart put the Pirates ahead with a three-run shot in the bottom of the first, giving the catcher his third home run in just seven games this season. He also drew a two-out walk in the fifth before coming around to score the tying run on a Jack Suwinski double, marking Bart's first game this season with two runs scored. Furthermore, the backstop has now hit safely in six of his seven games and continues to make a strong case for more playing time with Yasmani Grandal (foot) sitting on the 10-day injured list.

  • Goes yard, scores three times
    Contreras went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, three runs scored and a stolen base while also drawing a walk in Thursday's win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Contreras launched a solo homer off Mitch Keller in the top of the first to give Milwaukee an early lead and then came around to score the team's third run on a Rhys Hoskins single in the third after drawing a walk. He then added a single in the fifth before going on to steal his second base of the season. The catcher scored three runs in the contest, a mark he's hit three times now in the early season, while also recording multiple hits for the second consecutive game. Contreras is now batting .373 in April with five homers, 20 RBI and 21 runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 4:01 am
     
  • Goes deep for team's lone run
    Trevino went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: Trevino plated an early run for New York with his solo blast in the second inning, but the team's offense did not score again. Still, the homer continued a strong recent stretch of offense by the backstop, as he's built an eight-game hitting streak during which he's batting .423/.464/.654. The hot span hasn't moved Trevino out of a timeshare behind the plate, however -- both he and Austin Wells have played three games over New York's past six contests.

  • Clobbers first-inning homer
    Perez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Although Thursday's game was called after five innings due to poor weather, Perez managed to make an impact, swatting a two-run shot off Jose Berrios in the first frame. Over the Royals last two series', Perez is batting .435 with eight RBI and one strikeout across 27 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:49 pm
     
  • Jose Trevino homers in Yankees’ loss to Athletics
    Jose Trevino went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Thursday in the Yankees’ loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: New York’s offense mustered only one run despite 11 hits in this one as they went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 men on-base. Trevino was responsible for their lone run with a second-inning homer off Athletics starter Alex Wood. It was his second long ball of the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:43 pm
     
  • Salvador Perez powers Royals past Blue Jays
    Salvador Perez blasted a two-run homer on Thursday, powering the Royals to a 2-1 win over the Blue Jays in a rain-shortened five-inning affair.

    Advice: Perez’s two-run blast off Toronto starter José Berríos wound up being enough for Kansas City as the two teams waited out a nearly four-hour rain delay before the contest was finally called. The 33-year-old ironman is up to seven round-trippers on the season already and figures to cross the 30-homer threshold, if he can stay healthy. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:21 pm
     
  • Bart continues to swing hot bat with Pirates
    Joey Bart went 1-for-4 with a walk and a three-run homer in a loss to the Brewers on Thursday.

    Advice: Bart has been on fire since joining the Pirates, going 7-for-23 with three home runs, eight RBI, and four runs scored in seven games. That comes with an OPS over 1.200. With Henry Davis struggling, Bart has also started four of the last six games behind the plate and has a chance to take over this job if he keeps swinging the bat well. Remember that Bart was once a trendy catching prospect before Davis became a trendy catching prospect. Just 27 years old, it’s possible that Bart just needed a change of scenery. He’s worth taking a gamble on in all two-catcher leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:16 pm
     
  • Set to lose work with Ruiz back
    Adams is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: With Keibert Ruiz (illness) returning from the 10-day injured list Thursday and starting behind the plate in his first game back, Adams' time as the Nationals' No. 1 backstop appears to have ended. He had started in 10 of the Nationals' 11 games while Ruiz was out, going 8-for-33 (.242 average) with four extra-base hits (one home run, three doubles), three runs and two RBI.

  • Draws starting nod Thursday
    Barnes will start at catcher and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Barnes will pick up his sixth start of the season while top backstop Will Smith gets a breather as the Dodgers and Nationals close their series with a day game after a night game. Over 19 plate appearances to date, Barnes has batted .250 with no extra-base hits, one RBI and one run. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:53 am
