    • Kyle Tucker goes deep as Astros top Rockies
      Kyle Tucker smacked his sixth home run of the season on Saturday night as the Astros topped the Rockies in Mexico City.

      Advice: Tucker went back-to-back with teammate Yordan Alvarez in the third inning, with Tucker’s 409-foot (97.4 mph EV) solo shot off of Cal Quantrill increasing the Astros’ lead to 4-2. He also singled, walked and scored a total of three runs in the ballgame, finishing the night 2-for-4. He’s having another terrific all-around season at the plate, slashing a robust .291/.402/.534 with six long balls, 18 RBI and five stolen bases through his first 27 games. Rotoworld Today, 7:30 pm

    • Swats grand slam Saturday
      Winker went 2-for-5 with a grand slam in Saturday's 11-4 victory over the Marlins.

      Advice: After walking CJ Abrams to load the bases in the top of the fifth inning, Edward Cabrera hung a curveball to Winker, who deposited it over the right-field wall to break the game open. Winker also had a single, giving him his first multi-hit game since April 16. He's now slashing .291/.404/.465 on the season for the Nationals. Rotowire.com Today, 6:23 pm
       
    • Four hits in return to lineup
      Yoshida went 4-for-5 with an RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's victory over the Cubs.

      Advice: Yoshida did not start the previous five games, as the Red Sox utilized Rafael Devers and Tyler O'Neill at designated hitter as they returned from injuries. He did his best to make up for lost time Saturday, doubling in a run while also adding three singles. While he has been used very little this week, the expectation is that Yoshida will remain the team's primary DH moving forward. Rotowire.com Today, 5:57 pm
       
    • Shuts down champs for first win
      Greene (1-2) picked up the win in Saturday's 8-4 victory over the Rangers, allowing only one hit and one walk over seven scoreless innings while striking out six.

      Advice: The Reds' bullpen made things a little more interesting, but Greene was in total control while he was on the mound, firing 63 of 98 pitches for strikes and letting only one runner even get to third base. The right-hander has two quality starts through his first six outings this season, and he'll take a 3.63 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 42:12 K:BB through 34.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Orioles.

    • Pete Alonso blasts eighth homer in loss to Cardinals
      Pete Alonso went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in a 7-4 win over the Cardinals on Saturday.

      Advice: Alonso cut the Cardinals lead to two runs with a two-run blast off Sonny Gray in the fifth inning. It was the eighth homer of the season for the 29-year-old slugger. He’s slashing .252/325/.515 with 14 RBI across 114 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 4:36 pm

    • Jesse Winker hits grand slam in victory over MIA
      Jesse Winker hit a grand slam in the Nationals’ 11-4 victory over the Marlins on Saturday.

      Advice: Winker continues his offensive resurgence, and his grand slam in the fifth inning extended Washington’s lead to 6-1. The 30-year-old is now slashing .291/.404/.465 over the first month of the season; a vast improvement on the offensive numbers he was posting with Seattle and Milwaukee over the last two years. It’s a small sample, but there’s no denying what Winker has done is encouraging. Rotoworld Today, 4:22 pm
       
    • Bryon Buxton absent from Twins lineup Saturday
      Byron Buxton is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s showdown against the Angels.

      Advice: The oft-injured outfielder will get a breather against Angels’ right-hander Jose Soriano on Saturday evening in Los Angeles. Austin Martin will start in his place in center field and will bat ninth for the Twins on Saturday. Rotoworld Today, 4:11 pm
       
    • Hunter Greene blanks Rangers over seven in win
      Hunter Greene tossed seven shutout innings with six strikeouts in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.

      Advice: Greene put together his best start of the season on Saturday, spinning a gem against a tough Rangers lineup. He allowed just two baserunners on the day, walking a batter in the fourth and giving up a double in the fifth. Greene induced just six whiffs, but tossed 63-of-98 pitches for strikes to strike out six. The 24-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 3.63 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and a 42/12 K/BB ratio across 34 2/3 innings. He’ll take on the Orioles in Cincinnati on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 3:54 pm
       
    • Resting Saturday
      Buxton isn't in the Twins' lineup Saturday against the Angels.

      Advice: Buxton will sit down for the start of Saturday's contest after going 1-for-5 with an RBI during Friday's series opener. Alex Kirilloff, Austin Martin and Max Kepler will start across the outfield in his absence, and Trevor Larnach will serve as the Twins' designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 3:50 pm
