    • Records ninth steal
      Winn went 1-for-6 with a stolen base and two runs scored in Friday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Nationals.

      Advice: Winn hadn't recorded a steal since June 4, though he has nine thefts on 12 attempts this season. The shortstop is hitting .279 (17-for-61) over his last 14 games, a slight dip from his .291 batting average overall. He's added a .756 OPS, four home runs, 29 RBI, 35 runs scored, 18 doubles and three triples over 79 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:16 am
       
    • Oneil Cruz batting eighth Saturday vs. southpaw
      Oneil Cruz is batting eighth on Saturday against the Mets.

      Advice: It’s the lowest Cruz has batted in Pittsburgh’s lineup in quite some time as he’s been dropped down with lefty David Peterson on the mound for New York on Saturday afternoon. The 25-year-old shortstop has shown some signs of life lately, batting .292 (7-for-24) with one homer and one steal over his last seven games. Rotoworld Today, 9:00 am

    • Swipes seventh base Friday
      Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

      Advice: The Athletics strung together three singles as part of their five hits on the night, and Schuemann was able to parlay his one knock into his seventh stolen base of the season. The rookie has reached safely in seven of his last eight games, including four straight, a stretch that's resulted in a slight boost for his .229/.321/.330 slash line across the board and includes three of his steals for the campaign.

    • Belts third homer Friday
      Andujar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Orioles on Friday.

      Advice: Andujar had last left the yard way back on June 1, but he ended a 28-game power drought with a 402-foot shot in the first to quickly erase a 1-0 deficit. The veteran has now hit safely in three straight games, and Friday's homer coaxed his slugging percentage back over the .400 mark (.403). Rotowire.com Today, 8:14 am
       
    • Brooks Lee batting ninth on Saturday vs. Astros
      Brooks Lee is at designated hitter and batting ninth for Saturday’s game against the Astros.

      Advice: Lee is batting .545 (6-for-11) with four RBI in three games since being called up earlier this week from Triple-A St. Paul. The 23-year-old top prospect figures to continue batting near the bottom of Minnesota’s suddenly formidable lineup as he acclimates to everyday life in the big leagues. However, that decision feels temporary, especially if he keeps producing at the dish. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats at this point. The big question for the remainder of the season is whether Lee sticks around once oft-injured offensive force Royce Lewis (groin) is ready to return after the All-Star break.

    • Jose Miranda notches hits in 10 straight at-bats
      Jose Miranda finished 4-for-4 with a homer, a double and three runs scored Friday against the Astros.

      Advice: Incredibly, the Twins pinch-hit for Miranda in the ninth, even though he had delivered hits in 10 consecutive at-bats, and it worked, as Austin Martin singled off Luis Contreras. Still, the Twins went on to lose anyway, Miranda is 25-for-50 in his last 13 games, raising his average from .277 to .324 and his OPS from .778 to .893. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:53 pm

    • Pummels three homers
      Smith went 3-for-3 with three solo home runs, two walks and four total runs scored in Friday's 8-5 win over the Brewers.

      Advice: Smith hit just two homers in June, so he's already off to a fantastic start in July. The catcher went to the opposite field for his first-inning blast before pulling his solo shots in the third and seventh innings. Smith is up to a .276/.349/.502 slash line with 14 homers, 53 RBI, 45 runs scored, 18 doubles and one triple over 73 contests this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:24 pm

    • Alek Thomas hits grand slam in close loss to Padres
      Alek Thomas hit a pinch-hit grand slam in a loss to the Padres on Friday.

      Advice: Thomas came in with the bases loaded in a 7-2 game, and he turned that into a 7-6 nailbiter with one swing of the bat. The 24-year-old has just his second homer of the season, but keep in mind he missed three months while a hamstring strain. A friendly reminder of the talent, but Thomas is a tough recommend in redraft formats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:59 pm
       
    • Alex Verdugo goes 0-for-5 in defeat
      Alex Verdugo went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts as the Yankees’ cleanup hitter Friday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Verdugo homered in his first game against his former team last month, but that’s the only homer he’s hit in five weeks since May 29. He’s hitting a modest .244/.301/.392 for the season, and he’s fortunate Jasson Dominguez’s oblique injury has left the Yankees with no quality replacements for him in left field.
