  • Salvages day with late homer
    Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Toglia was hitless in his first three at-bats but saved his stat line in the ninth inning by taking Josh Hader yard on a solo homer. The first baseman has homered on back-to-back nights and has belted four long balls in his last 10 games, batting 10-for-39 (.256) with nine runs and nine RBI during that stretch.

  • Belts first grand slam
    Moniak went 1-for-2 with a grand slam and an additional run during Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Athletics,

    Advice: Moniak flipped the game on its head in the fourth inning, giving the Halos a three run advantage after swatting his first career grand slam at the expense of Mitch Spence. The center fielder is batting .220 with three home runs, four steals and 18 RBI since Mike Trout (knee) got hurt. Rotowire.com Today, 12:08 am
     
  • Notches 15th steal
    Blanco stole a base as a pinch runner in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: The steal was Blanco's 15th of the year and his fourth over 11 contests in June. The outfielder remains confined to a bench role, and he's gone just 3-for-19 with one walk and six strikeouts this month. For the year, he's slashing .236/.291/.319 with one home run, four RBI and 18 runs scored over 80 plate appearances while seeing action in 46 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:59 pm
     
  • Drives in three in win
    Arias went 3-for-4 with a double, three RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 10-8 win over the Orioles.

    Advice: Arias has been in the lineup for the last two games since he returned from the family medical emergency list. The utility man provided a two-run double in the second inning and an RBI single in the eighth as one of four Guardians to log multiple hits in the contest. Arias is slashing .231/.262/.358 with two home runs, 14 RBI, 14 runs scored and four stolen bases on six attempts over 141 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:15 pm

  • Mickey Moniak’s first grand slam propels Angels
    Mickey Moniak hit his first career grand slam Tuesday to lead the Angels past the A’s 7-5.

    Advice: Moniak’s slam was a homer in only six ballparks, says Statcast, but that was mostly because of its low trajectory; Moniak crushed the pitch, which left his bat at 107.9 mph. He’s earned himself some extra playing time by hitting .254/.333/.475 in 66 plate appearances this month. He came in at just .169/.208/.242 over the first two months.

  • Third homer of June
    Benintendi went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run Tuesday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Benintendi helped the White Sox get off to a hot start, as he delivered his home run in the first inning. He has been limited to 11 games in June due to an Achilles injury, but Benintendi has enjoyed a productive month by homering three times, driving in five and scoring five runs while also maintaining a .286 batting average. Despite the productive stretch, he still has just a .249 wOBA and 58 wRC+ across 233 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:23 pm
     
  • Brett Wisely finishes 2-for-4 in Giants’ victory
    Brett Wisely went 2-for-4 with a run scored from the leadoff spot in the Giants’ 5-1 defeat of the Cubs on Tuesday.

    Advice: Wisely’s second hit, a 403-foot double to left-center, would have been a homer in 29 of 30 ballparks and really a no-doubter in most of them. Oracle Park isn’t built that way, though. Wisely, who has turned into the Giants’ shortstop versus righties, is batting an impressive .301/.333/.441 in 99 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:43 pm

  • Pete Crow-Armstrong strikes out three times
    Pete Crow-Armstrong struck out all three times he was up against the Giants on Tuesday.

    Advice: Crow-Armstrong has struck out 22 times while batting .151/.182/.226 in 53 plate appearances this month. The defense is strong, and he’s been a force on the basepaths, but the Cubs still might need to send him back to Triple-A to work on his approach at the plate. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:43 pm
     
  • Trevor Larnach goes 0-for-4 in loss to Arizona
    Trevor Larnach went 0-for-4 and grounded into a double play against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

    Advice: Larnach hit three balls over 100 mph tonight, but he had no luck with any of them. He’s batting just .218/.254/.382 this month on the heels of an already poor May, and one wonders if the Twins might have him and Matt Wallner, who has been red hot in Triple-A, swap spots in the near future.
