  • Manny Machado homers twice in rout of Red Sox
    Manny Machado homered twice and drove in five runs in an 11-1 blowout victory over the Red Sox on Saturday.

    Advice: Machado blasted both homers off Tanner Houck, a three-run shot in the fifth and a two-run blast in the second. It’s the first multi-homer game for the 31-year-old in 2024, but five of his 10 homers have come thus far in the month of June. Machado’s also picked up multiple hits in his last three games and six times since June 19, and appears to be righting the ship after a disappointing first two-plus months of the campaign.

  • Michael Busch hits two-run homer in win over MIL
    Michael Busch hit a two-run homer to help the Cubs to a win over the Brewers on Saturday.

    Advice: Busch gave the Cubs a two-run lead in the first inning with a blast off Tobias Myers in the first inning. The 26-year-old has homered 10 times thus far in 2024, but only two of those roundtrippers have come in the month of June. Still, it’s been a quality first full year of MLB action for Busch thus far with an .809 OPS through 237 at-bats. Rotoworld Today, 3:47 pm

  • Royce Lewis absent from Twins’ lineup on Saturday
    Royce Lewis is absent from the Twins’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s showdown against the Mariners.

    Advice: The Twins are making sure to mix in days off to keep the 25-year-old superstar fresh and healthy. While that’s disappointing for fantasy managers, at least the goal is keeping him in the lineup and off the injured list. Jose Miranda will cover the hot corner while Trevor Larnach functions as the team’s designated hitter on Saturday evening against Bryce Miller and the Mariners. Rotoworld Today, 3:13 pm
