    • Swats homer in victory
      Pena went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run and a walk in Thursday's 5-3 victory against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Houston and Toronto combined for 19 hits in the contest, but only two went for extra bases, and Pena notched the lone long ball with his solo shot to left field in the seventh inning. The shortstop has hit two homers and two doubles during his current four-game hitting streak, and he's driven in three runs while scoring four times during that span. The recent upswing in power is a welcome sign for Pena's fantasy managers after he went deep just five times across his first 80 contests of the campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:16 pm
       
    • Zac Gallen lasts just four innings versus Dodgers
      Zac Gallen allowed three runs over four innings Thursday in his start versus the Dodgers.

      Advice: The results weren’t great, but Gallen’s velocity tonight was even better in his first start back from the IL; he averaged 95.9 mph on his fastball, up from 95.2 mph last time out and 92.9 mph in the 11 starts before he went on the IL. Because of the diminished velocity, we were a bit down on him before his hamstring injury. He seems like a better bet now, though. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:29 pm
       
    • Trio of hits, homer
      Kwan went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and walked in a run during Thursday's 8-4 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Kwan reached base four times Thursday and tagged Jared Shuster for a homer in the second inning. The outing was Kwan's first three-hit game since June 16 and his 12th of the season. MLB's leader in batting average, Kwan is slashing .367/.424/.538 with 50 runs across 265 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:12 pm

    • Lowe has three hits, home run in win over Royals
      Brandon Lowe went 3-for-5 with a walk, a double, a home run and three runs scored against the Royals on Thursday.

      Advice: Lowe’s home run was his eighth of the season and third in his last four games. He took Will Smith deep for a solo shot in the sixth inning. It hasn’t been Lowe’s best season, but he’s showing signs of life lately. He’s hitting .229 with an .810 OPS and 25 RBI on the year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:46 pm
       
    • Not in lineup Thursday
      Siri isn't in the Rays' lineup Thursday versus the Royals.

      Advice: Siri has just one hit and a walk in his last 15 plate appearances. The center fielder will get to reset on the bench, while Jonny DeLuca will start in his spot and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:33 pm
       
    • Steven Kwan homers, reaches four times in win
      Steven Kwan went 3-for-4 with a homer in an 8-4 win over the White Sox on Thursday.

      Advice: Kwan hit a solo homer off Jared Shuster in the third inning to give Cleveland a 2-1 lead. That’s the eighth homer of the season for the 26-year-old, who is enjoying a sensational 2024 season to put it mildly. On top of the homer and two more hits, he also walked, and the slash is now a robust .367/.424/.539. It’s very likely this isn’t sustainable — at least to this level — but Kwan has been a difference maker in the first half of 2024 for fantasy managers and the Guardians. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:59 pm

    • Jeremy Peña homers, reaches thrice in victory
      Jeremy Peña went 2-for-4 with a homer in a 5-3 win over the Blue Jays on Thursday.

      Advice: Peña extended Houston’s lead to 5-3 with a homer in the seventh inning off Trevor Richards. The 26-year-old shortstop has homered seven times in 2024, and a three-reach game helps improve his slash to .280/.327/.400 over 325 at-bats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:52 pm
       
    • Marcus Semien getting a day off on Thursday
      Marcus Semien is not in the Rangers’ lineup on Thursday.

      Advice: It’s a rare off day for Semien, who has played all 162 games in three of the last four non-COVID seasons and played 161 games in the other year. However, the day off might be needed as Semien has been struggling at the dish of late. Jonathan Ornelas still start at second and bat ninth. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:00 am
       
    • Rare day off amidst slump
      Semien is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

      Advice: It's just the second day off of the season for Semien, who has managed just two hits over his last 36 at-bats. Jonathan Ornelas will handle second base for the Rangers on Thursday while Semien receives some much-needed rest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:53 am
