  • Hunter Renfroe plates two as Royals top Angels
    Hunter Renfroe went 2-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs on Sunday afternoon, leading the Royals to a 4-2 victory over the Angels.

    Advice: Renfroe opened things up with a two-run single off of Patrick Sandoval in the fourth inning that extended the Royals’ lead to 3-0 and proved to be the difference in the ballgame. Even with his two knocks on the afternoon, the 32-year-old slugger is still hitting a woeful .153/.223/.261 with only three homers and 15 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Today, 3:48 pm
     
  • Paul Goldschmidt homers, knocks in two in win
    Paul Goldschmidt snapped his skid with a solo homer and an RBI single as the Cardinals edged the Brewers 4-3 on Sunday.

    Advice: Goldschmidt was 1-for-32 with 14 strikeouts this month. He did strike out twice more today, and his current 32% K rate is one reason to think he won’t be bouncing all of the way back from this hideous start. Still, things have to get better from here. He’s batting .197/.280/.279. Rotoworld Today, 3:46 pm
     
  • Stays hot Sunday
    Santana went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Santana took Toronto's starter Alek Manoah deep for a three-run shot in the top of the seventh inning, breaking a 0-0 tie. The homer was his seventh of the season and he has now gone deep in three consecutive seasons. Since May 5, Santana has gone 9-for-23 with three home runs, eight RBI and five runs scored over eight contests. Rotowire.com Today, 3:23 pm
     
  • Spencer Torkelson gets first homer of 2024
    Spencer Torkelson finally hit his first homer of the season Sunday against the Astros.

    Advice: It was about as meaningless as a homer can be, coming with the Tigers down 9-1 with two outs in the ninth, but let’s not worry about that. Torkelson, who hit 31 homers last season, got his first today in his 164th plate appearances and 38th game. He had four doubles in his previous six games, so it did seem like the drought was due to end. His OPS has climbed from .553 on May 4 to .627 now. Rotoworld Today, 3:03 pm
     
  • Wisdom has three hits, HR in win over Pirates
    Patrick Wisdom went 3-for-4 with a home run in the Cubs’ win over the Pirates on Sunday.

    Advice: Wisdom laced a solo home run off Aroldis Chapman in the 10th inning that traveled 412 feet and left the bat at 106.8 mph. He also had a 105.5 mph single off Bailey Falter earlier in the game. The Cubs are only using him against left-handed pitching but that has helped his results so far this season, so he can be useful in deeper formats if the Cubs face a collection of lefties in a given week.

  • Connor Joe has two hits, HR in loss to Cubs
    Connor Joe went 2-for-4 with a home run and a double in a loss to the Cubs on Sunday.

    Advice: Joe had a big 10th-inning home run off Adbert Alzolay that left the bat at 109.4 mpg and brought the Pirates to within one. He also had a 102 mph double earlier in the game and has been seeing the ball well. He also made five starts for the Pirates this week and has been starting to play more regularly, which would be huge for his fantasy value. If he can continue to draw semi-regular starts against right-handed pitchers, he can be scooped up in all 15-team formats. Rotoworld Today, 2:33 pm

  • David Fry hits two-run homer, reaches three times
    David Fry hit a two-run homer and walked twice Sunday against the White Sox.

    Advice: The Guardians barely played Fry against righties during the season’s first five weeks, but this is the third time in the last four such games that he’s been included in the lineup and his homer today came off a righty in Mike Soroka. He should be a top-15 fantasy catcher if the Guardians keep using him like this. Rotoworld Today, 2:12 pm

  • Yandy Díaz homers in second straight game
    Yandy Díaz went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run, and two runs scored in a loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Díaz had a strong series against the Yankees, going 6-for-11 with two home runs across the three games. He’s starting to heat up a bit at the plate and has raised his slash line to .250/.313/.356 with three home runs and 19 RBI. The Rays lineup should trend up in the coming months, and Díaz could be starting to heat up as the summer approaches. Now might be the time to try and see if you can acquire him in a trade.

  • Carlos Santana homers in third straight game
    Carlos Santana homered in a third straight game Sunday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: It’s the second time in three weeks that he’s homered in three straight games, which is kind of weird, in that he’s hit just one homer in his other 31 games. The three-run shot today accounted for all of the runs off Alek Manoah in the game. Santana also had a single. He’s upped his OPS from .601 to .697 the last three days. Rotoworld Today, 1:30 pm
