  • Three homers in nine games
    Siri went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored Sunday against Atlanta.

    Advice: Siri slugged his third home run in his last nine starts, bringing his total on the season to eight. He's also maintained a .261 average with eight RBI and nine runs scored across 13 games in June, though his 36.7 percent strikeout rate in that span suggests his average will dip. Nevertheless, Siri is providing solid production across four categories for the time being. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Gets aboard four times
    Slater went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run, a walk, a hit-by-pitch and two total runs scored in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Mike Yastrzemski started in right field, but he exited the game after drawing a walk in his lone plate appearance. Slater finished it off in right field, and despite facing right-handed pitchers in all but one of his four plate appearances, the outfielder put together an excellent game. He's hitting .409 (9-for-22) with three walks and five RBI over seven games in June in a short-side platoon role. Slater is up to a .230/.373/.279 slash line with a homer, two steals, six RBI and 10 runs scored through 75 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:04 pm
     
  • Homers in loss
    Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-3 loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Judge had a bit of a quiet week, going a modest 6-for-25 (.240) with two homers and five RBI over six contests against the Royals and Red Sox. He also struck out nine times, including thrice in Sunday's game. It's likely just the natural ebb and flow of offense in a long season, as the outfielder is still leading the majors with 26 long balls while adding 64 RBI, 56 runs scored, five stolen bases and a .299/.425/.686 slash line over 73 contests.

  • Three more hits in win
    Rafaela went 3-for-4 with two RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

    Advice: Rafaela has multiple hits in four of the last five games, including three hits in each of the last two contests. The steal was his first since June 1, though he's up to nine thefts on 14 attempts this year. The 23-year-old is up to a .238/.264/.383 slash line through 263 plate appearances this season, though his performance in June has seen him trend upward in everything but power.

  • Swipes two bags
    Duran went 2-for-4 with a walk, two stolen bases and one run scored in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

    Advice: Duran extended his hitting streak to seven games, a span in which he's gone 12-for-29 (.414) with five extra-base hits. The outfielder has added six steals over his last nine contests as he continues to provide speed atop the order for a Red Sox team that has little hesitation to run. Duran is up to 17 thefts in 20 attempts while slashing .278/.348/.468 with five home runs, 31 RBI and 48 runs scored across 72 games this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:45 pm
     
  • Six hits across doubleheader
    Bleday went 6-for-9 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored as the Athletics lost both games of Sunday's doubleheader versus the Twins.

    Advice: Bleday's best performance was in the nightcap, when he went 4-for-5 with his homer. The outfielder had been warming up after a slow start to June -- he now has multiple hits in four of his last six games. He's at a .254/.337/.462 slash line with 10 homers, 25 RBI, 31 runs scored and no stolen bases through 74 contests this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:23 pm

  • Two doubles in nightcap
    Castro went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored in an 8-7 win over the Athletics in Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader.

    Advice: Castro went 0-for-3 with a walk in the day game, but he redeemed himself with a strong showing in the nightcap. This was his third multi-hit effort in his last five contests. The 27-year-old is up to a .261/.350/.416 slash line with five home runs, eight stolen bases, 18 RBI, 40 runs scored, 15 doubles and four triples over 71 games this season. Between his speed and his defensive versatility, Castro can provide some quality depth for fantasy managers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:02 pm

  • Ready for live at-bats
    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Sunday that Edman (wrist) is expected to report to the rookie-level Florida Complex League or Single-A Palm Beach this week to take some at-bats and get in some defensive reps, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Mamol didn't explicitly say that Edman will begin a formal rehab assignment, so the 29-year-old may just be participating in simulated games this week at the Cardinals' spring facility in Florida. In any case, the activity marks another important step in the recovery process for Edman, who has been out all season while he ramps back up from October wrist surgery. Edman won a Gold Glove at second base in 2021 and logged 46 starts at shortstop in 2023, but the outfield might represent his clearest path to consistent playing time once he returns from the 60-day injured list.

  • Plates three, swipes bag
    McCarthy went 1-for-3 with three RBI and a stolen base during Sunday's 12-5 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: McCarthy was productive despite generating only one hit. He stole second after walking in the first inning, scored Joc Pederson on a fielder's choice in the third frame and plated Pederson again in the fourth on a sacrifice fly before hitting an RBI triple in the sixth. McCarthy's pilfer was his 10th of the campaign, and his fifth of June. He's slashing .279/.365/.409 through 180 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:21 pm
