    • Third straight two-steal game
      De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

      Advice: De La Cruz stole a base after each of his hits, no doubt taking advantage of the Giants starting their fourth-string catcher, Jakson Reetz, in this contest. This was De La Cruz's third straight game with multiple steals, and he's achieved that seven times this season. The speedy infielder is up to 25 thefts on 29 attempts in 2024 while maintaining a .271/.370/.519 slash line through 38 games. He's added eight home runs, 20 RBI, 28 runs scored, seven doubles and a triple while serving as the Reds' No. 2 hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:05 pm
       
    • Elly De La Cruz steals two bags in win over Giants
      Elly De La Cruz stole two bases and went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in a 4-2 win over the Giants on Friday.

      Advice: With those two steals, De La Cruz is already up to 25 on the season. The speedy infielder also helped turn a terrific double play and remains must-see television anytime there’s a chance to watch. De La Cruz has absolutely lived up to the hype in the early portion of 2024, and then some. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:49 pm
       
    • Idle Friday
      O'Hoppe isn't in the Angels' lineup Friday versus the Royals.

      Advice: O'Hoppe will get a breather Friday after tallying six hits across his last three games. While he rests, Matt Thaiss will fill in as Los Angeles' backstop and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:11 pm
       
    • Wilyer Abreu sits against southpaw on Friday
      Wilyer Abreu is not in the Red Sox’ starting lineup for Friday night’s tilt against the Nationals.

      Advice: While Abreu did draw a start against a left-hander on Thursday, he’s not in the lineup for a matchup against Patrick Corbin and the Nationals on Friday evening. Rob Refsnyder will start as the team’s designated hitter on Friday night and will bat second for the Red Sox. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:22 pm
       
    • Not starting against Nats
      Abreu is not in the starting lineup for Friday's outing against Washington, FantasyLabs MLB reports.

      Advice: The rookie outfielder will start from the dugout as Boston takes on left-hander Patrick Corbin. Abreu is slashing .276/.368/.439 with 13 RBI and five stolen bases on the year. Tyler O'Neill will move from his normal left field spot to fill in for Abreu in right. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:45 pm
       
    • Two RBI in loss
      Steer went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Arizona.

      Advice: Steer delivered two runs on a two-out single in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game before the Diamondbacks went ahead an inning later. He continues to produce with runners in scoring position, posting a .359 batting average and 1.022 OPS in such situations. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:44 am

    • Halts skid, steals two bags in loss
      De La Cruz went 2-for-3 with a walk, an RBI, two steals, a run scored and was caught stealing in Thursday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Once again, De La Cruz filled up the box score. His fourth-inning single snapped an 0-for-17 slide, and he later delivered a run as part of the Reds' three-run seventh inning to tie the game at 4-4. His aggressiveness on the bases was also on display as he swiped his 22nd and 23rd bags; however, that aggression may have cost Cincinnati. After leading off the sixth with a walk and a steal, De La Cruz was caught trying to take third base and was not in scoring position when Jake Fraley singled later in the frame. That aggressiveness is something manger David Bell tolerates from De La Cruz, as he told Mark Sheldon of MLB.com. "Right there, he did have more time, but we've also seen him get to third with no outs and lead to a run," Bell said. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:34 am
       
    • Delivers winning run
      Carroll went 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Carroll delivered the go-ahead run on a two-out single in the top of the eighth inning, a half inning after the Reds plated three runs to tie the game. The outfielder returned to the top of the order this week after a season-opening slump dropped him to the lower third in late April. He's worked through the slow start, which he attributed to a flat swing, per Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. Carroll has a pop-up rate of 15.2 percent on the season, more than double than what it was in 2023 (7.3 percent). Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:43 am
       
    • Slugs fourth homer
      Doyle went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a double in Thursday's 9-1 win against the Giants.

      Advice: Doyle keyed a seven-run fourth inning for Colorado with a 430-foot, three-run blast to center field. The long ball ended a 21-game homerless stretch for the outfielder, and he had notched just one RBI over that span. Doyle has been one of the most productive hitters for Colorado this season, though, slashing .276/.317/.455 with four home runs and a team-leading 22 runs and four stolen bases.
