  • 70-33-7 1st Place
    • Best game of season
      McCormick went 3-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs, a stolen base and three total runs scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Orioles.

      Advice: McCormick got a rare start versus a right-hander -- his second in the last three games -- and he made it count by taking Corbin Burnes deep in the fifth inning. All three of McCormick's homers this year have come within his last five games, and he's added six RBI and six runs scored in that span. Overall, he's posted a mediocre .225/.286/.358 slash line with 15 RBI, 15 runs scored and three stolen bases across 133 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
       
    • Castellanos belts 11th home run in win Saturday
      Nick Castellanos went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

      Advice: Castellanos’ home run was his 11th of the season and went so far he started removing his protective elbow pad before he even exited the batter’s box. In all, he had a sacrifice fly, two-run home run and two-run double. Castellanos has struggled this season with a .225 average and .672 OPS, but the Phillies lineup still provides opportunities to drive in runs as he now has 37 RBI on the year.

    • Chas McCormick homers twice in win over Orioles
      Chas McCormick homered twice to help the Astros to a 5-1 win over the Orioles on Saturday.

      Advice: McCormick also singled and scored three times in the contest. His last homer may have earned the ire of those who roster Josh Hader, as it made it a 5-1 game and took away a save chance for Hader. McCormick has dealt with injuries, but more games like this will (obviously) give him a good chance of getting more playing time going forward. Rotoworld Today, 3:30 pm
       
    • Yu Darvish (groin) expected to return on Tuesday
      Yu Darvish (groin) is expected to rejoin the Padres’ rotation on Tuesday.

      Advice: The 37-year-old right-hander made it through a minor league rehab start at High-A Fort Wayne without any issues on Wednesday and will square off with the Nationals at home on Tuesday night. Before landing on the injured list in late May with a strained groin, Darvish had posted a 3.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 53/15 K/BB ratio over 56 1/3 innings through his first 11 starts on the season.

    • Expected to start Tuesday
      Darvish (groin) is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Nationals, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Darvish is set to make his first start since May 29 after an IL stint due to left groin soreness. The 37-year-old made a minor-league rehab start at High-A on Wednesday but only got up to 49 pitches and will likely be under some sort of pitch count against the Nationals. Across 11 starts, Darvish owns a 3.20 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP with 53 strikeouts. Rotowire.com Today, 2:49 pm

    • Next start will be with Padres
      Darvish (groin) is expected to come off the injured list to make his next start with San Diego, per MLB.com.

      Advice: Darvish struggled in a minor-league rehab start with High-A Fort Wayne on Wednesday, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three batters over 3.1 innings. He threw only 49 pitches in that outing, but the Padres nonetheless appear intent on moving him back into the rotation for his next appearance. It hasn't yet been announced when Darvish will make that start, but given the typical time between outings, it's logical to expect Monday or Tuesday versus Washington to be the target date.

    • Notches 17th save
      Diaz gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 17th save of the season in a 5-2 win over the Red Sox.

      Advice: The right-hander has mostly put his rough start to the season behind him. Diaz has converted 10 straight save chances over his last 12 appearances, posting a 2.31 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB through 11.2 innings during that stretch. Despite his 5.08 ERA and 1.48 WHIP on the season, he has a firm grip on Cincinnati's closer job. Rotowire.com Today, 6:56 am
       
    • Racks up four hits in win
      Machado went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 9-5 win over the Brewers.

      Advice: Machado has multiple hits in four of his last five games, going 10-for-21 in that span. The third baseman was batting just .240 at the start of June, but he's pushed that up to .263 with a .704 OPS, seven home runs, five stolen bases, 37 RBI and 32 runs scored across 72 contests this season. While his power production has been a career low, the 31-year-old could still put together a surge over the second half of the campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:30 pm
       
    • Alexiz Díaz converts 11th straight save chanceg
      Alexis Díaz worked a scoreless ninth for his 17th save Friday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Díaz has converted 10 straight save chances, even though he’s had a few hiccups during the run. His 5.08 ERA and 29/19 K/BB ratio in 28 1/3 innings still don’t inspire a ton of confidence, but things are certainly looking up from a few weeks ago. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:41 pm
