    • Sitting against southpaw
      Smith is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Rockies.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Smith went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's 8-3 loss. He will begin Sunday's contest on the bench as the Rockies send out southpaw Ty Blach. Ezequiel Duran will fill in for Smith at third base. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:19 am

    • Blaze Alexander out Sunday against Orioles
      Blaze Alexander is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Alexander will retreat to the bench for the series finale against Baltimore. Kevin Newman will instead start at shortstop and hit eighth against Dean Kremer and the Orioles. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:08 am
       
    • Back on bench Sunday
      Alexander is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

      Advice: The right-handed-hitting Alexander started each of the past three games, but he appears to be viewed as a short-side platoon player, with two of those three starts coming against left-handed pitching. He'll give way to Kevin Newman at shortstop Sunday while the Orioles bring right-hander Dean Kremer to the hill. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:56 am
       
    • Two hits, two stolen bases in loss
      Witt went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's loss to the Angels.

      Advice: Witt scored Kansas City's first run of the game after reaching on an infield single and stealing second, coming home on a double from Salvador Perez. The star shortstop would later drive in a run with another single in the sixth before stealing his second base of the contest, though he was then thrown out trying to steal third. Witt has now recorded multiple hits in five of 10 games this month. He's batting .314 over that stretch with four RBI, 12 runs and six stolen bases. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:39 am
       
    • Swats homer in loss
      De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Giants.

      Advice: De La Cruz launched his ninth home run in the fourth inning for the Reds' lone run. He entered Saturday with multiple steals in three straight games. The dynamic infielder has hit safely in three straight and is batting .272 with a .910 OPS over 158 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:05 am
       
    • Bobby Witt Jr. steals two bases in Royals’ loss
      Bobby Witt Jr. went 2-for-4 with an RBI and also stole two bases on Saturday in the Royals’ loss to the Angels.

      Advice: Witt was one of the few bright spots for Kansas City during Saturday’s one-sided affair in Los Angeles, recording his second double-digit steal effort of the year. The 23-year-old fantasy superstar is already up to five homers and 15 steals in just 178 plate appearances over 41 games. He seems poised to easily eclipse the 50-steal mark in just his third season at the major league level. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:25 am
       
    • Continues hitting well
      DeJong went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a second run scored Friday against the Guardians.

      Advice: DeJong smacked his sixth home run of the season, three of which have come in his last four games. He's performed well in addition to the long balls of late, as he has at least one hit in eight of his last 10 starts, and he's also chipped in six RBI and nine runs scored in that span. DeJong has reclaimed his spot as the White Sox's primary shortstop, and he should continue to get playing time so long as he's hitting well. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:55 pm

    • Third straight two-steal game
      De La Cruz went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases and two runs scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

      Advice: De La Cruz stole a base after each of his hits, no doubt taking advantage of the Giants starting their fourth-string catcher, Jakson Reetz, in this contest. This was De La Cruz's third straight game with multiple steals, and he's achieved that feat seven times already this season. The speedy infielder is up to 25 thefts on 29 attempts in 2024 while maintaining a .271/.370/.519 slash line through 38 games. He's added eight home runs, 20 RBI, 28 runs scored, seven doubles and a triple while serving as the Reds' No. 2 hitter. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:05 pm
       
    • Elly De La Cruz steals two bags in win over Giants
      Elly De La Cruz stole two bases and went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in a 4-2 win over the Giants on Friday.

      Advice: With those two steals, De La Cruz is already up to 25 on the season. The speedy infielder also helped turn a terrific double play and remains must-see television anytime there’s a chance to watch. De La Cruz has absolutely lived up to the hype in the early portion of 2024, and then some. Rotoworld Friday, 9:49 pm
