    • Starts at 1B again
      Duran started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a double in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: Duran was in the starting lineup at first base for a third straight game -- all against lefties -- as it appears primary starter Nathaniel Lowe is losing work against southpaws. Duran is batting .235/.304/.275 against lefties this season, which is lower than Lowe's line of .250/.327/.292, suggesting the platoon may not be a long-term solution. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

    • Walks off Giants
      Smith hit a pinch-hit, two-run home run in Monday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

      Advice: Smith pinch hit for Eugenio Suarez and sent a center-cut fastball over the fence in center field for a walk-off home run. It was his second homer of the season and the first walk-off blast of his career. Smith has been relegated to the bench and pinch-hit duties mostly, but he has a knack for high-leverage moments. Per Baseball Reference's leverage indicator, the outfielder/DH owns an .871 OPS in high-leverage spots during his career. Rotowire.com Today, 4:22 am
       
    • Slugs two homers
      Hays went 2-for-4 with two home runs in Monday's 7-2 win over Toronto, finishing with three RBI and two runs scored.

      Advice: Hays hit his first home run of the season, even slugging a second to record his sixth career multi-home run game. The 28-year-old hit both of his home runs off Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman, launching a two-run shot in the fourth inning and a solo home run in the seventh. Hays has seen inconsistent playing time over the past two weeks but he is starting to heat up, batting 5-for-9 with three extra-base hits over his past three appearances.

    • Goes deep again
      Ramos went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Ramos has homered in back-to-back games, and his blast Monday tied the contest at 2-2 in the seventh inning. He's gone 5-for-13 over three games to begin June after batting .280 in May following his call-up to the big-league roster. Ramos is slashing .295/.361/.477 with four homers, 17 RBI, 10 runs scored, four doubles and one stolen base over 24 contests this season. He saw a fairly steady run in left field while Michael Conforto was out with a hamstring injury, but Ramos looks poised to challenge Mike Yastrzemski for the starting job in right field after Conforto was activated from the injured list Monday.

    • Homers in back-to-back games
      Burleson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Astros.

      Advice: This was Burleson's second straight game with a homer after he went 12 contests without one. The 25-year-old is up to seven homers through 51 contests in 2024, one long ball shy of matching his total from 107 games last year. He's added a reliable .271/.299/.429 slash line with 21 RBI, 16 runs scored and two stolen bases over 177 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:41 pm
       
    • Pavin Smith hits walkoff homer for D-backs
      Pinch-hitter Pavin Smith hit a two-run homer off Randy Rodriguez in the bottom of the ninth to give the Diamondbacks a 4-2 win over the Giants on Monday.

      Advice: Smith’s 424-foot shot to center would have been a double had it turned a few inches to the left, but that still would have been enough to win the game. It was Smith’s second homer in 50 plate appearances this season and 30th in 1,144 trips to the plate since he debuted in 2020. He’s probably in line for a demotion to Triple-A once Alek Thomas comes off the IL, but the Diamondbacks were certainly happy to have him around tonight. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:49 pm
       
    • Heliot Ramos goes 2-for-4, homers in defeat
      Heliot Ramos went 2-for-4 and hit his fourth homer Monday against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: The Giants lose some defense by playing Ramos over Luis Matos or Mike Yastrzemski with Michael Conforto back, but it’s going to be worth it for as long as Ramos remains hot. He’s batting .295/.361/.477 in 97 plate appearances, and while he’s not going to maintain that average, there’s a lot to like about his exit velocity numbers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:49 pm
       
    • Launches fifth homer
      Gallo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 8-7 loss to the Mets.

      Advice: Gallo launched his fifth home run of the season, but he has seen his playing time decrease over the past week. The 30-year-old has started just four of the past seven contests following a streak of 10-consecutive starts. Gallo will need to clean up his dismal .156 average and 45 percent strikeout rate to garner consistent playing time moving forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:21 pm

    • Triples, drives in three
      Benson went 2-for-3 with a triple, two runs scored and three RBI in Monday's win over Colorado.

      Advice: Benson singled and scored in the third inning before hitting a two-run triple and scoring again in the fourth. He capped off his day with an RBI sacrifice fly in the sixth. Benson had gone 29 straight games since his last multi-hit performance April 29; during that stretch, he went 13-for-74 (.176). He's now slashing .205/.309/.426 with 20 RBI and 21 extra-base hits through 57 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:40 pm
