  • Mountcastle has four-hit game Thursday
    Ryan Mountcastle went 4-for-5 with a double and two runs scored against the White Sox on Thursday.



    Advice: Mountcastle scored on Jorge Mateo’s three-run home run in the fourth inning and on an Adley Rutschman home run in the sixth inning. The four hits marked a nice bounce back game for Mountcastle, who had been slumping. The Orioles have a deep group of hitters to choose from, but he should stay in the lineup as long as he continues to hit.

  • Three hits in Thursday's win
    Brown went 3-for-6 with a double, a stolen base and three runs scored in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Brown didn't get much of a chance to drive in runs Thursday -- the first three batters in the Athletics' order went a combined 2-for-16 with two walks. Brown made up for it by hitting well and serving as the spark to get the Oakland offense going. He also scored the winning run in a frantic 11th-inning comeback. The outfielder's three-hit effort marked his fifth straight game with at least one hit, a stretch that's raised his slash line to .206/.254/.357 for the year. He's added five home runs, three steals, 13 RBI and 10 runs scored over 134 plate appearances. Brown has often found a spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitchers, but there will be a bit more pressure for him to perform with Daz Cameron called up Thursday to add to the Athletics' outfield depth.

  • Guerrero Jr. hits fifth home run Thursday
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a two-run home run against the Tigers on Thursday.

    Advice: Guerrero Jr. scored on a Justin Turner double in the eighth inning and then homered in a 7-1 game in the ninth. The home run was his fifth of the season and he now has 24 RBI. Guerrero Jr. is up to .282 with a .799 OPS this year. Rotoworld Today, 6:26 pm
  • Four more hits in win
    Arraez went 4-for-5 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Reds.

    Advice: Arraez has multiple hits in his last eight games, going 20-for-38 (.526) with three extra-base hits in that span. The infielder played at first base Thursday, swapping places with Jake Cronenworth on the right side of the infield. Arraez is up to a .341/.382/.422 slash line with one home run, 12 RBI, 31 runs scored and three stolen bases over 226 plate appearances. He sees a majority of the playing time at the keystone and should continue to thrive atop the order for a team that has little trouble putting the ball in play. Rotowire.com Today, 5:51 pm

  • Cardinals outright Alfonso Rivas III to Triple-A
    Cardinals sent 1B Alfonso Rivas III outright to Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: Rivas went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. The 27-year-old slugger has the option to either elect free agency or stick around as extra organizational depth at Triple-A Memphis. Rotoworld Today, 5:02 pm
  • Davis hits fourth home run Thursday
    J.D. Davis went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run against the Rockies on Thursday.

    Advice: Davis’s home run in the eighth inning off Tyler Kinley brought the Athletics to within one run. It was his fourth home run of the season. Davis is hitting just .220 with two home runs since being activated from the injured list on May 3rd. Rotoworld Today, 4:11 pm

  • Michael Busch goes 0-for-4 in loss to Braves
    Michael Busch went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts on Thursday in the Cubs’ shutout loss at the hands of the Braves.

    Advice: Busch is really struggling at the moment, batting .183 (17-for-93) with just one home run over his last 30 games. He’s gone especially frigid at the dish, hitting just .071 (1-for-14) over his past seven contests. The league seems to have made its adjustment to the 26-year-old top prospect and now it’s time for him to strike back. It wouldn’t be shocking to see him get a break in the coming days as a bit of a mental reset. Rotoworld Today, 2:52 pm

  • Luis Arraez collects four hits in win over Reds
    Luis Arraez went 4-for-5 with an RBI and run scored in an extra-inning win over the Reds on Thursday.

    Advice: That’s the second four-hit game in a row for Arraez, as he also collected four in the 7-3 win Wednesday. It’s also the eighth consecutive multi-hit game, and that’s seen the 27-year-old increase his average to .341. Helping in other categories is sometimes tricky, but the average category? Nope. That’s one Arraez is always going to be dominant in. Rotoworld Today, 1:32 pm

  • Not starting Thursday
    Turner isn't in Toronto's lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Turner will get a breather Thursday after reaching base three times during Wednesday's win over the White Sox. Daniel Vogelbach will fill in as the Jays' DH and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:05 pm
