    • Juan Soto homers and walks in loss to Reds
      Juan Soto homered and walked in a loss to the Reds on Thursday.

      Advice: Soto swatted a two-run dinger in the eighth inning to cut Cincinnati’s lead to 8-4, but the Yankees got no closer. The homer and walk improves the All-Star’s slash to .300/.438/.568 with 21 blasts and 63 RBI. Rotoworld Today, 1:11 pm

    • Fraley plates three as Reds defeat Yankees
      Jake Fraley drove in three runs while going 2-for-4 with a triple Thursday against the Yankees.

      Advice: All three runs were driven in on the triple, and it extended the Cincinnati lead to 8-2 in the seventh inning. The 29-year-old hasn’t shown much power in 2024 with just a .356 slugging mark, but his .278 average and .333 on-base percentage are nothing to sneeze at. Expect more pop from Fraley in the second half of the season. Rotoworld Today, 1:11 pm
       
    • Bo Naylor drives in two, steals base in victory
      Bo Naylor went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base Thursday in a victory over the White Sox.

      Advice: It’s the second steal of the season for Naylor. The 24-year-old drove in two with a single in the third to extend Cleveland’s lead to 5-1. Naylor has long-term appeal, but a .210/.277/.333 slash helps tell the story that it’s just theory at this stage of his career. Rotoworld Today, 12:59 pm

    • Paul DeJong hits 16th homer in loss to Cleveland
      Paul DeJong homered while driving in two runs in a loss to the Guardians on Thursday.

      Advice: DeJong took Ben Lively deep with a runner on to pick up his 16th homer of the season and cut the Cleveland lead to 7-3. The power has been there for DeJong for the majority of 2024 with those roundtrippers and a .456 slugging mark. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he’s playing for a new team by the end of the month.

    • 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 Today, 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 Today, 12:52 pm
       
    • Ben Rice leading off for Yankees on Thursday
      Ben Rice is playing first base and batting leadoff for the Yankees on Thursday.

      Advice: It will be the first time that Anthony Volpe is in the lineup and not leading off since April 10th, so this is a big opportunity for Rice. The rookie has a .378 on-base percentage in his 14 games since being called up from Triple-A and Volpe has struggled to get on base. Considering the Yankees’ leadoff hitter gets to bat in front of Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, this would be huge for Rice’s fantasy value if he can take advantage of this opportunity.

    • Elevated to leadoff spot
      Rice will start at first base and bat leadoff in Thursday's game versus the Reds.

      Advice: The Yankees have dropped the struggling Anthony Volpe down to the No. 6 spot in the batting order and Rice will receive the first opportunity in Volpe's old slot. Rice is slashing .270/.378/.351 with a 6:7 K:BB in his first 14 contests in the majors. Certainly, it would be a major boost for his fantasy prospects if he can manage to stick at the top of the Yankees' lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 7:15 am

    • Loving Dodger Stadium
      Walker went 4-for-5 with a walk, a double, two home runs, four RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 12-4 win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Walker, who homered in the first game of the series Tuesday, gave Arizona the lead with a two-run homer in the fourth inning then finished off the Dodgers with a two-run shot in the ninth. The first baseman has five home runs in Dodger Stadium this season and 17 in 41 career games at Chavez Ravine. Walker leads the Diamondbacks with 20 homers and 59 RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 4:36 am
