  • Swats two homers
    Bleday went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Bleday went yard twice for the first time in his career Tuesday, tagging Mitch Keller for a solo shot in the fifth and Josh Fleming for a two-run homer in the seventh for his second and third long balls of the campaign. The contest was Bleday's first multi-hit game since Apr. 14. However, he's racked up an extra-base hit in seven of his last nine contests with six walks and five strikeouts during that stretch.

  • White Sox outright Zach Remillard to Triple-A
    White Sox sent INF Zach Remillard outright to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Remillard went unclaimed on waivers and will likely wind up sticking around with the White Sox as extra organizational depth after being removed earlier this week from the club’s 40-man roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:11 pm

  • Tauchman has two hits in loss to Mets
    Mike Tauchman went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in a loss to the Mets.

    Advice: Tauchman had the Cubs’ only extra-base hit of the night and is now slashing .307/.435/.530 on the season. Perhaps more importantly, he was in the lineup and hitting sixth with a left-handed pitcher on the mound, which suggests that he’ll be an everyday player for the Cubs while Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki are sidelined. That makes him worth a short-term add in most formats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:28 pm
  • DJ Stewart homers in win over Cubs
    DJ Stewart went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer in a win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

    Advice: Stewart took a sixth-inning pitch from Javier Assad and hit it 388 feet at 104.3 mph off the bat. It was the Mets’ only extra-base hit of the night, but the only one they’d need. Stewart now has four home runs and 14 RBI on the season, but his playing time has been less consistent since J.D. Martinez was activated. With Martinez at DH, the Mets are less inclined to play Stewart in the outfield, which will make it hard to roster him in most fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:25 pm
  • Tommy Pham doubles in two-hit game vs. Twins
    Tommy Pham went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday’s loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Pham continued his hot start with the White Sox on Tuesday and has now hit safely in four of his first five games. His RBI single in the fourth gave him his first RBI on the season and put the White Sox up 2-0, and he later came around to score in the third inning after hitting his first double of the year. Pham is now batting.350 on the year, but is stuck in a lineup that offers little to no run production. He can’t be relied on for much at this time as far as fantasy is concerned.

  • Larnach totals two hits, one RBI vs. White Sox
    Trevor Larnach went 2-for-4 with one RBI and a run scored in Tuesday’s win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Larnach was part of a two-run ninth inning that saw the Twins tie the game and later take the lead thanks to his RBI single that scored Carlos Correa. Larnach closes out the first month of the season, hitting a solid .394, and is riding a five-game hitting streak heading into May. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that he has totaled two or more hits in his last four games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:03 pm
  • Doubles, scores in loss
    Tauchman went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Mets.

    Advice: Tauchman had half of Chicago's hits in the sluggish loss, pushing his season average up to .307 in the process. With Seiya Suzuki (oblique) and Cody Bellinger (ribs) both on the injured list, Tauchman has seen plenty of playing time recently, and the veteran has responded. He should remain a solid short-term fantasy asset, though his long-term outlook is a bit murkier, as it depends on how quickly the other outfielders are able to return to the lineup.

  • Jarren Duran, has three hits, SB in win
    Jarren Durran went 3-for-4 with a run, an RBI, and a steal in a 4-0 win over the Giants on Tuesday.

    Advice: All three of Duran’s hits were singles but each of them was at least 107 mph off the bat. In fact, he had three of the six hardest-hit balls of the game. His stolen base was also his ninth of the season and the lead-off hitter is slashing .268/.338/.386. The power has not been there this year, but if Duran keeps hitting the ball hard and getting on base then he’s going to rack up steals and continue to be useful in fantasy leagues.

  • Wilyer Abreu has three hits in win over Giants
    Wilyer Abreu went 3-for-4 with a double, triple, and an RBI in a win over the Giants on Tuesday.

    Advice: Abreu had the hardest hit ball of the day with a 114.4 mph triple in the fourth inning and then also added a 95.8 mph double in the third inning. The 24-year-old is now slashing .316/.391/.526 with 12 RBI and has been one of the better hitters in fantasy baseball since becoming an everyday player in Boston. While he will likely cool down at some point, his minor league track record points to a power/speed profile that should be useful in all fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:56 pm
