  • Jeimer Candelario homers in win over Brewers
    Jeimer Candelario delivered a two-run homer and a double Friday as the Reds edged the Brewers 6-5.

    Advice: Not a bad followup to his two-homer game Wednesday. Candelario has 12 homers, eight of which have come in his last 19 games. Those who weighed dropping him a few weeks ago have been rewarded for their patience. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:25 pm
     
  • Hits first homer of season
    Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the Royals.

    Advice: This was Taylor's first homer and second extra-base hit over 106 plate appearances this season. The veteran utility man has a pitiful .108/.200/.151 slash line with nine RBI, six runs scored and one stolen base over 39 contests. Taylor is usually able to carve out a steady role as a short-side platoon option at a variety of positions, but his poor hitting and the Dodgers' good health has prevented the 33-year-old from seeing anything close to regular playing time.

  • Homers in comeback win
    Rojas went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Rojas sparked a Dodgers comeback with his fifth-inning homer off Cole Ragans. The long ball was Rojas' first since April 3. The infielder has three multi-hit efforts over his last eight games, but he's also gone hitless three times in that span. For the season, he's at a .280/.330/.449 slash line with three homers, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and three stolen bases over 115 plate appearances. Rojas appears to be out of the mix for time at third base following the Dodgers' trade for Cavan Biggio. It's likely Rojas will settle into a short-side platoon role at second base going forward, sharing the position with Gavin Lux. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:52 pm

  • Eugenio Suárez homers in blowout win
    Eugenio Suárez hit a solo homer in a blowout win over the White Sox on Friday.

    Advice: Suárez swatted a solo shot in the fourth inning off Chris Flexen — his former teammate in Seattle — to give D-Backs a 4-1 lead. It’s been a struggle for the 32-year-old third baseman, as even with the roundtripper he’s hitting only .197/.274/.324. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:23 pm
     
  • Miguel Rojas blasts two-run homer vs. Royals
    Miguel Rojas hit a two-run homer in a 4-3 win over the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: Rojas got the Dodgers back in the game with a two-run shot off an otherwise-effective Cole Ragans. The 35-year-old is better known for his glove than his bat, but this is his third homer of 2024, and his slash of .280/.339/.449 is nothing to sneeze at. That .779 OPS is over 100 points over his career mark of .667, so it’s hard to fathom this keeps up in the second half of the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:19 pm

  • Alec Bohm delivers decisive two-run double
    Alec Bohm went 3-for-5 with double and two RBI on Friday in the Phillies’ dramatic 5-3 win over the Orioles.

    Advice: Bohm’s eleventh inning double put a stamp on what was maybe the game of the year so far with the Orioles and Phillies going back and forth all night with a long rain delay in between. It was his third hit of the night and second batted ball over 100 MPH. He continues to be a force in the middle of the Phillies’ lineup. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:53 pm

  • Belts fourth homer
    Riley went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's win over Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Riley hit an RBI double in the first inning before hammering a two-run homer in the second. It was just his fourth homer of the year and first since May 3, snapping a 23-game drought. During that homerless streak, he posted a brutal .462 OPS. Riley is now slashing .230/.296/.357 with 17 extra-base hits and 23 RBI through 54 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:18 pm
     
  • Alex Bregman smacks RBI triple in win over Tigers
    Alex Bregman went 1-for-4 and smacked a run-scoring triple on Friday night as the Astros triumphed over the Tigers.

    Advice: Bregman finally got the scoring started in the ballgame with his RBI triple off of Tigers’ start left-hander Tarik Skubal in the sixth inning. He then trotted home on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Yordan Alvarez. With his 1-for-4 night, the 30-year-old third baseman is now hitting .240/.303/.407 with nine homers, 33 RBI and a pair of stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:09 pm

  • Colt Keith collects two hits in loss to Astros
    Colt Keith went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles as the Tigers were shut out by the Astros on Friday evening in Houston.

    Advice: As a team, the Tigers were only able to muster five total hits against Hunter Brown and company on Friday night, with Keith the only member of the squad to have more than one. The 22-year-old’s bat has started to heat up after a miserable start to his MLB career, but he’s still slashing an underwhelming .222/.273/.284 with just two homers, 19 RBI and three stolen bases in 60 games on the season.
