  • Steals 34th base in win
    De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cubs

    Advice: De La Cruz reached on a single in the fifth and proceeded to swipe his MLB-leading 34th bag. After going six straight games without a steal, he now has a swipe in back-to-back games as he continues his torrid pace on the base paths. The 22-year-old leads MLB with 87 strikeouts but he continues to make up for it with great counting stats. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

  • Blasts third homer, steals base
    Friedl went 1-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win vs the Cubs

    Advice: Friedl drove in three of the Reds four runs on a two-run homer of Ben Brown in the third, and later on an RBI groundout in the fifth. Friedl reached base again on a walk in the eighth and added his fifth stolen base of the season. The 28-year-old has struggled to stay healthy this season but he's now started in 10 straight games since his latest IL stint. The center-fielder has three homers, 13 RBI and five stolen bases in just 16 games this year. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Belts first career slam
    Sheets went 3-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: The 28-year-old slugger took Brayan Bello deep in the fifth inning, breaking a 1-1 tie and giving Sheets the first grand slam of his career. He's gone yard in back-to-back games and has four of his seven homers this season in the last 11 contests, a stretch in which Sheets is batting .282 (11-for-39) with 10 RBI.

  • Reaches 20 homers
    Henderson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and a walk in a 5-0 win against Tampa Bay on Saturday.

    Advice: Henderson iced the game for Baltimore in the ninth inning, swatting a three-run shot to right field to give the team a 5-0 lead. The long ball was his 20th of the campaign, second-most in the majors behind Aaron Judge. Henderson has reached base safely via hit or walk in 17 straight games and is batting .258 with four home runs, 11 RBI, 14 runs, a stolen base and an 18:20 BB:K during that span.

  • Won't play Sunday
    Devers was removed from Saturday's 6-1 loss to the White Sox with left knee soreness and won't play in Sunday's series finale, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports. He went 0-for-2 with a walk before exiting.

    Advice: Manager Alex Cora said post game that Devers reported soreness in his left knee -- the same knee that forced Devers to miss nearly a week in late April -- which led to Devers' removal in the eighth inning. Cora will play it safe with the stud third baseman, giving him a day off Sunday. The Red Sox have a team day off Monday, so Devers' return to the lineup should come Tuesday against Philadelphia.

  • Swats first homer of 2024
    Dalbec went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: Getting the start in right field and batting seventh, the 28-year-old took Nick Nastrini deep in the fifth inning for Boston's only offense, and Dalbec's first long ball in the majors this season. He's flashed plenty of power in the minors -- in his last 140 games for Triple-A Worcester, he's slugged 41 homers -- but that hasn't yet translated to the game's highest level with any consistency. He'll lose playing time, and likely his spot on the 26-man roster, when players like Tyler O'Neill (knee), Wilyer Abreu (ankle) and Masataka Yoshida (thumb) are back in action, as Dalbec's .159/.243/.238 slash line in 28 games for the Red Sox makes a poor case to keep him around.

  • Pilfers two bags in loss
    Duran went 0-for-3 with two walks and two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: The 27-year-old did his job as the leadoff man, but the hitters in the three spots behind him in the order went a combined 0-for-11 on the afternoon. Duran came into this series in Chicago having failed to steal a bag in 14 straight games, but he's swiped three in the last two contests to give him 14 on the season. He's also slashing .263/.331/.451 on the year with five homers, 27 RBI and 39 runs in 65 contests. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
     
  • Swats ninth homer
    O'Hearn went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 win against the Rays.

    Advice: O'Hearn produced Baltimore's only run against opposing starter Taj Bradley, belting a solo homer to right field in the fourth inning. After Bradley departed, O'Hearn scored his team's second run when he singled and stole second base in the eighth frame before coming home on a Jordan Westburg triple. O'Hearn has homered twice in his past three games and is up to nine long balls on the campaign, putting him well on pace to surpass his career high of 14 homers, which he established in 2019 and tied last season.

  • Reaches three times, steals base
    Turang went 2-for-4 with a walk, stolen base and two runs in Saturday's win vs the Tigers.

    Advice: The Brewers leadoff man started off the game with a walk, then moved to second and scored on a single by Christian Yelich. Turang would reach on hits in his next two at-bats and scored again in the third, giving him his seventh game with at least two runs this season. The second-baseman also added his 23rd stolen base of the season which is behind Elly De La Cruz for most in MLB. Turang's batting average sits at .307 for the year and he remains a lock for the top of the Brewers lineup. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
