  • Carlos Santana homers as Twins top Angels
    Carlos Santana homered and drove in two runs in a 5-3 win for the Twins over the Angels on Friday.

    Advice: Santana opened the scoring with a solo homer off Patrick Sandoval in the second inning. The veteran picked up another RBI with a single in the sixth to extend Minnesota’s lead to 4-0. Santana was due for a game like this, as even with the pair of hits and homer, he’s slashing an anemic .165/.250/.266 over the first month of the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:43 pm

  • J.T. Realmuto homers in victory over Padres
    J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer Friday in a victory over the Padres.

    Advice: Realmuto turned a not-so-close game into a blowout with a two-run homer to extend Philadelphia’s lead from 7-1 to 9-1. The backstop also doubled and drew a walk for a very strong fantasy night from a catcher that has provided plenty of them in his career. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:28 pm
  • Brandon Marsh collects three hits, homer in rout
    Brandon Marsh went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and three RBI in a 9-3 rout of the Padres on Friday.

    Advice: The Phillies were able to sock five homers on Friday night — four of those off Joe Musgrove — and Marsh took Musgrove deep with a runner on to give Philadelphia a 5-0 lead. He also doubled in a run in the first, and the three-hit night has the 26-year-old slashing .291/.329/.570. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:28 pm
  • Kyle Schwarber homers, walks twice in blowout
    Kyle Schwarber homered and walked twice against the Padres on Friday.

    Advice: The Phillies connected on five homers in the blowout win, and Schwarber’s came as the leadoff hitter in the first. The 31-year-old has hit seven homers on the season, and he’ll likely be among the homer leaders throughout the 2024 campaign. Just keep in mind that the other categories will have their ups-and-downs, to put it nicely. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:28 pm
  • Homers, drives in three
    Marsh went 3-for-5 with a home run, a double and three RBI in Friday's win over the Padres.

    Advice: Marsh knocked an RBI double in the first inning followed by a two-run blast in the third, both coming against Joe Musgrove. It was Marsh's sixth long ball of the year, though he had just one over his previous 11 games before Friday's big performance. He's now slashing .291/.329/.570 with nine extra-base hits and 16 RBI through 85 plate appearances this season. Friday's game was his second multi-hit showing over his last 14 contests.

  • Josh Rojas stays hot with homer vs. Diamondbacks
    Josh Rojas hit a solo homer and scored twice against the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

    Advice: Rojas has hit in the leadoff spot against right-handers with JP Crawford out of the lineup, and so far it’s worked quite well. He hit a leadoff homer off Zac Gallen in the bottom of the first, and he also drew a walk. The 29-year-old is slashing an outstanding .316/.391/.509 for the first month of the year, and at the very least is someone fantasy managers need to monitor. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:09 pm
  • Will Smith homers, collects fourth four-hit game
    Will Smith went 4-for-5 with a homer, a double and three RBI against the Blue Jays on Friday.

    Advice: The 360-foot homer was actually just his third farthest hit ball of the night, as he also had a 374-foot sac fly and a 367-foot double. Smith has been spraying hits since day one, but the homer was just his second of the year. It’s his fourth four-hit game. Only three other players entered the day with even two of them (Mookie Betts with three and Yordan Alvarez and Ketel Marte with two apiece). Smith is batting .376/.413/.527 with 21 RBI in 24 games.

  • Josh Lowe (oblique) nearing return to Rays
    Josh Lowe (oblique) told reporters on Friday that his rehab is going great and that he feels that he’s ready to be activated from the injured list as soon as the Rays decide to do so.

    Advice: The dynamic 26-year-old outfielder has played in six games during his minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham, hitting .227/.346/.364 with a homer, five RBI and a 10/4 K/BB ratio over 26 plate appearances. It sounds like he could be back with the big league club any day now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:53 pm
