  • Continues to mash
    Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run in Friday's 10-3 win over Arizona.

    Advice: Tatis set the tone for a big offensive game by the Padres with his first-inning solo homer. The long ball extended his hitting streak to 13 games, during which he was slashed .434/.474/.660 with three home runs, seven RBI, nine runs and a stolen base. Tatis leads San Diego with 11 homers on the campaign and has driven in 33 runs while slashing .282/.357/.458 and swiping seven bags overall. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
     
  • Knocks first career homer
    Bliss went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: The rookie had made minimal impact at the plate at the big-league level thus far until Friday's blast, a 421-foot shot to left center with Victor Robles aboard to close out the Mariners' seven-run first inning. Bliss has now hit safely in three of his last five games, including two straight, after opening his major-league career by going 0-for-7 in his first three contests. Meanwhile, the homer marked his first extra-base hit since his May 27 debut. Rotowire.com Today, 8:20 am
     
  • Swats pair of doubles Friday
    France went 2-for-3 with an RBI ground-rule double, another two-bagger, a walk, a hit-by-pitch and a run in a loss to the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: France made up for missing out on the Mariners' first-inning fun by lacing a ground-rule double in the fourth to plate J.P. Crawford and extend Seattle's lead to 8-0 at the time. The 29-year-old has dialed in his stroke since the latter part of May and is swinging with more authority, generating a .304 average and .950 OPS over the last 14 contests with six extra-base hits (four doubles, two home runs) and 10 RBI during that span.

  • Brandon Marsh to resume baseball activities
    Brandon Marsh (hamstring) has been cleared to resume baseball activities.

    Advice: Marsh has headed off to Triple-A Lehigh Valley for the weekend to starting working out with the Phillies overseas in London. The 26-year-old outfielder is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment at some point next week, unless the club determines he’s ready to jump right back into the big-league lineup.

  • Trea Turner set to ramp-up baseball activities
    Trea Turner (hamstring) will progress to running the bases, fielding grounders and hitting in the batting cage on Saturday.

    Advice: Phillies manager Rob Thomson indicated Saturday that Turner may not require a minor league rehab assignment, but he’s not expected to ramp-up baseball activities until next week’s series at Fenway Park in Boston. The 30-year-old fantasy star has been on the shelf since early May recovering from a left hamstring strain. It certainly sounds like he’ll be ready to return by mid-June. Rotoworld Today, 8:12 am

  • Drives in three in wild loss
    Haniger went 1-for-4 with a three-run double, a walk and a run in a loss to the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: Haniger's bases-clearing two-bagger was an integral part of a first-inning onslaught by the Mariners that had netted a 7-0 lead by the time it concluded. The timely knock was a rare one for the mostly struggling veteran, who'd driven in just one run in the previous 14 games. Haniger has hit safely in nine of his last 10 contests overall, but just two of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. Rotowire.com Today, 8:11 am
     
  • Fernando Tatis Jr. goes deep in lopsided victory
    Fernando Tatis Jr. crushed his 11th homer of the season on Friday in the Padres’ blowout win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Tatis delivered a tone-setting 415-foot solo shot off Arizona starter Brandon Pfaadt in the opening frame, which led to a 10-run, 14-hit explosion for San Diego’s struggling lineup. The 25-year-old fantasy superstar is batting .282 with 43 runs scored, 11 homers, 33 RBI and seven steals across 67 contests so far. Rotoworld Today, 3:31 am
     
  • Pops fourth homer
    Robert went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Robert did his damage in the opening inning to tally his fourth home run of the season and second in four games since returning from the injured list. Manager Pedro Grifol suggested that Robert would require regular rest days, though he has started every matchup since being activated and has gone a combined 3-for-16 with eight strikeouts.

  • Ryan Bliss collects first MLB homer in loss to KC
    Ryan Bliss hit a two-run homer in a loss to the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: Bliss absolutely clobbered a Daniel Lynch IV offering to left field in the first inning to give Seattle a 7-0 lead and Bliss his first ever MLB homer. The 24-year-old has hit just .188 thus far in the majors, but his .350 on-base percentage does show that he has been more than willing to reach via walk. There is some potential long-term fantasy upside in his right-handed bat. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:09 pm
