  • Hitting streak reaches 19
    Volpe went 1-for-3 with a walk, a steal and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Volpe extended his hitting streak to 19 games with a single in the sixth inning. He would then steal second and come around to score off a Juan Soto double to open up the scoring and force Joe Musgrove out of the game. His hit streak is the longest by a Yankee since Derek Jeter in 2012. Volpe is currently tied for sixth in the American League with 61 hits and tied for fifth with 11 steals. The 23-year-old has been thriving in the leadoff spot for the majority of the season and is now slashing .282/.355/.435 with 18 extra-base hits, 23 RBI, 36 runs and a 22:52 BB:K in 244 plate appearances.

  • Stays hot Sunday
    Witt went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Rays.

    Advice: Witt took reliever Shawn Armstrong deep in the sixth inning to open the scoring. The homer was Witt's fourth over his last five games, and he's gone 14-for-38 (.368) during his nine-game hitting streak. The shortstop continues to cruises with a stellar .307/.366/.561 slash line while adding nine homers, 36 RBI, a major-league-leading 48 runs scored, 16 stolen bases, 15 doubles and six triples over 54 contests this season.

  • Bobby Witt Jr. stays hot, homers in win
    Bobby Witt Jr. went 2-for-5 with a home run on Sunday against the Rays.

    Advice: Both of Witt’s hits in this one had at least a 110 MPH exit velocity as he continued to hit the ball with imposing authority. Few hitters in baseball are swinging it better than Witt who has four home runs and 13 RBI in his last seven games. He’s fully ascended into super-stardom and has an argument for the most valuable hitter in fantasy baseball. Rotoworld May 26, 1:59 pm
     
  • Homers, steals base in win
    Turang went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and a stolen base Saturday in Boston.

    Advice: His third home run of the season came in the eighth inning off reliever Zack Kelly. Turang had drawn a walk and notched his 19th stolen base of the season earlier in the contest. After going 26-for-30 in stolen base attempts as a rookie, Turang is now a perfect 19-for-19 in 2024. Only Elly De La Cruz has more this season with 31. Rotowire.com May 25, 7:45 pm

  • Brice Turang homers, steals bag in win over Boston
    Brice Turang homered and stole a base while helping the Brewers to a 6-3 win Saturday over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Turang hit his third homer of the season off Zack Kelly to extend Milwaukee’s lead to 6-2. The speedy infielder also swiped his 19th bag of the season in the victory. Turang is enjoying a strong 2024 campaign, and fantasy managers have to be thrilled with a .301/.356/.429 slash with the aforementioned swipes. Rotoworld May 25, 4:02 pm

  • Lifts homer in win
    Witt went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-1 win over the Rays.

    Advice: The long ball was his third during his current seven-game hitting streak. In that span, Witt is 11-for-29 (.379) with eight extra-base hits and 11 RBI. The shortstop is having another excellent year, slashing .305/.361/.557 with eight homers, 16 steals, 34 RBI and 47 runs scored over 52 contests. Rotowire.com May 25, 9:55 am
     
  • Bobby Witt Jr. socks solo homer in win over Rays
    Bobby Witt Jr. socked his eighth home run of the season on Friday, helping to power the Royals to a lopsided victory over the Rays.

    Advice: The 23-year-old superstar crushed his 433-foot (107.5 mph EV) solo shot off of Tyler Alexander in the seventh inning — increasing the Royals’ lead to 7-1. That would be his only hit in five at-bats on the night. He’s having another outstanding season across the board, slashing .305/.361/.557 with eight homers, 34 RBI and 16 stolen bases.

  • Reaches double-digit steals
    Volpe went 2-for-5 with a double, a run and a stolen base against the Mariners in Thursday's 5-0 victory.

    Advice: Volpe led off the seventh inning with a double, stole third base and subsequently scored on a Juan Soto single. It was the 10th theft in 12 tries for Volpe, who has now reached double-digit steals in each of his first two MLB campaigns. The shortstop is on pace to exceed last year's numbers in most categories except power -- he has six homers through 51 contests after going deep 21 times in 159 games last season -- and his .278/.349/.429 slash line highlights his substantial growth at the plate.
