  • Records first steal Friday
    Andujar went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a loss to Atlanta on Friday.

    Advice: Andujar provided the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Athletics, which were mostly stymied by Reynaldo Lopez and three relievers. Andujar already has a trio of extra-base hits since making his delayed season debut May 24, and he's quickly cobbled together a .375 average and .943 OPS by hitting safely in five of his first six games of the campaign.

  • Yanquiel Fernandez has four hits Friday at Double-A
    Rockies OF prospect Yanquiel Fernandez went 4-for-4 with a pair of runs scored on Friday for Double-A Hartford.

    Advice: Fernandez racked up a season-high four hits, including a triple, to raise his OPS to .736 on the young season. The 21-year-old outfielder possesses enough over-the-fence pop, as evidenced by a 25-homer campaign last year in the lower minors, to potentially make an impact for fantasy managers down the road. Especially if he winds up getting to play at Coors Field. He’s arguably a top-25 range outfield prospect in dynasty leagues at the moment. Rotoworld Today, 7:54 am
  • Big power display Friday
    Sanchez went 3-for-3 with a walk, two doubles, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-2 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: He took Jesus Tinoco deep in the seventh inning, Sanchez's second long ball in as many games but only his fourth of the year. The 26-year-old outfielder had snapped a 29-game homer drought with his blast Wednesday, and he's suddenly caught fire at the plate, batting .391 (9-for-23) over the last seven contests. Despite the surge, Sanchez is slashing just .245/.302/.355 on the season. Rotowire.com Today, 6:31 am
  • Homers in loss
    Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Smith cracked his third home run of the season in the fourth inning. While he won't be a 1-for-1 replacement for the injured Josh Jung (wrist), Smith has done a credible job as the Rangers' primary third baseman. Smith is batting .279/.374/.419 with three homers, 13 doubles, one triple, 22 RBI and 26 runs over 198 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 6:13 am

  • Goes yard twice in win
    Rafaela went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in Friday's 7-3 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Per Ian Browne of MLB.com, Rafaela has made some tweaks to his swing mechanics in an attempt to get going at the plate, and the adjustments seem to be paying off. The 23-year-old put together his first career multi-homer game by launching a three-run shot off Kenta Maeda in the fourth inning before tagging Joey Wentz for a two-run blast in the sixth that just cleared the Green Monster. Over the last 11 games, Rafaela is batting .289 (11-for-38) with three homers, two steals, nine runs and 10 RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 6:02 am
  • Goes deep again Friday
    Happ went 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and three total RBI in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Happ did his best to keep the Cubs in the game, launching his sixth home run of the season in the second inning, then walking home a run with the bases loaded in the fifth. The outfielder has gone deep four times over his last six games, and he has a robust 1.184 OPS during the stretch. Happ's overall numbers don't look as good, but he's worth riding with while he's hot. Rotowire.com Today, 5:56 am
  • Swipes second bag
    Greene went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Getting the start in center field and batting second, Greene was the only Tiger to record multiple hits on the night. The 23-year-old has reached base eight times in the last four games, and on the season he's slashing .239/.343/.449 with 10 homers, two steals, 22 RBI and 37 runs through 56 contests.

  • Goes deep in loss
    Pederson went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's loss to the Mets.

    Advice: Pederson knocked an RBI single during Arizona's three-run first inning before hammering a three-run shot in the ninth. It was his seventh home run of the year and fifth in his last 20 games. During that stretch, he's slashing .317/.379/.617 with 15 RBI and 24 punchouts. Pederson currently owns an impressive .952 OPS with 17 extra-base hits through 156 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 5:01 am
  • Luis Robert Jr. goes 0-for-5 on Friday at Triple-A
    Luis Robert Jr. (hip) went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts on Friday in a minor league rehab contest for Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Robert has gone 1-for-12 with a home run in three games for Triple-A Charlotte on his rehab assignment. There’s optimism that he’ll be ready to return early next week, but he’s going to get a couple more minor-league games under his belt this weekend to continue knocking off the rust.
