  • Christian Yelich steals two bases Monday in loss
    Christian Yelich walked twice and stole two bases on Monday in the Brewers’ extra-inning loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Yelich walked and stole second base in the sixth inning before making a daring heads-up decision to steal home on Marlins starter Ryan Weathers later in the frame. It was his first multi-steal performance since back on Opening Day and just the 16th time he’s accomplished the feat in his career. Rotoworld Monday, 7:04 pm
     
  • Ozuna homers again in nightcap
    Marcell Ozuna went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, a walk and two runs scored against the Padres on Wednesday.



    Advice: Ozuna continues his monster season with his 14th home run of the year in the second game of the doubleheader. Only Gunnar Henderson and Kyle Tucker have more home runs this year. Ozuna hit 40 home runs last year and didn’t hit his 14th home run last year until June 22nd. His average is up to .327 and he has a 1.047 OPS this year.

  • 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 Monday, 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.

  • Tough no-decision Sunday
    Paddack notched a no-decision decision Sunday despite allowing just two runs on three hits and no walks over eight innings against the Guardians. He struck out six.

    Advice: Paddack bounced back after allowing five runs and 12 hits in his last start against the Yankees. He pitched into the eighth inning for the first time with the Twins and kept the Twins in the game until they lost in the bottom of the ninth inning. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:11 pm
     
  • 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
     
  • Marcell Ozuna doubles in loss to Padres
    Marcell Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a double as the Braves were dominated by Yu Darvish and the Padres on Sunday evening in Atlanta.

    Advice: Ozuna smacked a two-out double off of Darvish in the opening inning, but he never advanced past second base. No other Braves’ hitter would touch second base the remainder of the night against Darvish. Ozuna continues to power the Braves’ offense this season — slashing a robust .325/.400/.610 with 12 homers and 41 RBI through his first 42 ballgames. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:04 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
     
  • Chris Paddack fires eight innings in no-decision
    Chris Paddack threw eight innings and allowed just two earned runs on Sunday against the Guardians. He struck out six and walked none.

    Advice: This was the longest outing of Paddack’s career and the first time he’s pitched into the eighth innings since July 17th, 2019! His 4.47 ERA remains a bit unsightly, but he’s shown tremendous signs of progress with his solid changeup, great command, and new slider. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:13 pm
