  • Idle again Tuesday
    Turang is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Turang isn't starting for a second straight game, with southpaw Trevor Rogers on the bump for Tuesday's contest. Instead, Andruw Monasterio will lead off and play second base. Rotowire.com Today, 12:50 pm

  • Sitting out versus lefty
    Turang is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Miami.

    Advice: The Marlins are rolling with southpaw Ryan Weathers, so the left-handed hitting Turang will take a seat. Andruw Monasterio will occupy second base for the Brewers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:35 pm

  • Extends, ends streak
    Marte went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over Detroit.

    Advice: Marte extended a hit streak to 18 games with a second-inning single. His single two innings later ended another streak: the switch hitter entered Sunday's contest with exactly one hit in 15 consecutive games. It seems counter-intuitive, but Marte's batting average has actually dropped during the streak, from .307 to .292. It should be noted he's done more than just hit singles during the run; Marte has four doubles, two triples, four home runs, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored over those 18 games.

  • Knocks three hits
    Turang went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a steal in Sunday's loss to Houston.

    Advice: Turang doubled, swiped third base and scored in the first inning. He later knocked a two-run single in the seventh. He's been swinging a hot bat all season and is officially entering breakout territory. After registering a brutal .585 OPS through 448 plate appearances in 2023, Turang owns a .314/.369/.431 slash line through 43 games this season. He's perfect in 18 stolen base attempts and has produced 15 multi-hit games. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:15 pm

  • Turang has three hits, SB vs Astros
    Brice Turang went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI, and a steal in a loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Turang had five solid at-bats on Sunday with two hard-hit outs as well. The 24-year-old is now up to 18 stolen bases on the year and has seen an uptick in fantasy value as he’s been leading off for Milwaukee. So far he’s been one of the better waiver wire claims of the year and there’s no reason to believe that will change any time soon. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:15 pm

  • Extends hitting streak to 17 games
    Marte went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple and a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: Marte went down on strikes in each of his first two at-bats before driving in the first run of the game with a one-out triple in the bottom of the sixth. He would come home to score as well on a Joc Pederson single in the following at-bat, though the effort would fall short as Detroit stormed back in the seventh to take the lead. The triple was Marte's second of the season and extended his hitting streak to 17 games. However, he's recorded only one multi-hit game over that stretch and is batting just .246 in May with four homers, 10 RBI and seven runs scored. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:00 am

  • Ketel Marte extends hitting streak to 17 in loss
    Ketel Marte smacked a run-scoring triple off of Jack Flaherty on Saturday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Diamondbacks to victory over the Tigers.

    Advice: The 30-year-old second baseman extended his hitting streak to 17 games and broke a scoreless tie with his run-scoring triple off of the Tigers’ right-hander in the sixth inning. He then scored on an RBI single off the bat of Joc Pederson. Marte finished the night 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts and is now hitting .287/.333/.525 with nine homers, 25 RBI and one stolen base on the season. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:04 pm

  • Homers in Wednesday's win
    Semien went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Semien's fifth-inning blast was ultimately all the run support Jon Gray needed to carry the Rangers to a win. Through 15 games in May, Semien is 21-for-68 (.309) with three homers, 11 RBI and 12 runs scored. The second baseman has just one stolen base on the year after reaching double digits in each of the previous eight full-length seasons, but the rest of his numbers are strong. Semien is at a .276/.320/.464 slash line with eight homers, 31 RBI, 33 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple in 206 plate appearances on the year. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:50 pm

  • Marcus Semien blasts two-run homer in win
    Marcus Semien went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer on Wednesday against the Guardians.

    Advice: With the game scoreless through four innings, Semien put the Rangers on the board with a two-run blast off Carlos Carrasco in the fifth. It was the eighth home run of the season for the 33-year-old second baseman. Semien is hitting .276/.320/.464 with 33 runs scored, 31 RBI, and one steal across 206 plate appearances. Lack of steals aside, he continues to be one of the top producers at the keystone. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:40 pm
