  • Notches fourth steal
    Rojas went 2-for-5 with a stolen base in Friday's 8-1 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: Rojas has five multi-hit efforts over eight games in May, going 13-for-31 (.419) with two steals and two extra-base hits in that span. The light-hitting 29-year-old is playing well atop the Mariners' lineup versus right-handed pitchers while splitting time between third base and left field. Friday's effort has him at a .351/.417/.526 slash line with three home runs, four steals, eight RBI and 12 runs scored over 108 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Two more hits, stolen base for Rojas against A’s
    Josh Rojas picked up two hits and stole a base in a blowout win Friday against the Athletics.

    Advice: The steal is the fourth of the season for the 29-year-old. The pair of hits now has him hitting .351, and while this isn’t sustainable, it’s hard to do anything but applaud the production. The question now will be where Rojas hits in the lineup when J.P. Crawford (oblique) comes off the injured list. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago

  • Luis Arraez hits walk-off single against Dodgers
    Luis Arraez hit a walk-off RBI single to give the Padres a 2-1 win over the Dodgers on Friday.

    Advice: With the score tied 1-1, Arraez picked up his first game-winning hit as a member of the Padres with a single to score Tyler Wade off Michael Grove. The 27-year-old has just seven RBI in his time with the Marlins and San Diego, but he should have more chances to drive in runs — even at the top of the lineup — now that he’s not playing for one of the worst teams in baseball.

  • Yennier Cano records second save versus D-backs
    Yennier Cano got his second save Friday after working a scoreless ninth versus the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The Orioles are giving Craig Kimbrel a break, so Cano is the clear favorite for saves in the pen for the short term. If Kimbrel has any meltdowns in the near future, Cano might take on the closer’s role permanently. Rotoworld Today, 8:32 pm
     
  • Nails down first save
    Sewald earned the save in Thursday's 5-4 win over the Reds, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

    Advice: After allowing a home run to Tyler Stephenson in his season debut Tuesday, Sewald looked much better in his first save chance Thursday, striking out Will Benson and Stephenson to close out the one-run victory. The 33-year-old Sewald is expected to step back in as Arizona's primary closer after missing the first month of the season with an oblique injury. He recorded 34 saves last year while pitching to a 3.12 ERA in 60.2 innings between Arizona and Seattle. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:58 pm
     
  • Out 10 weeks following arm surgery
    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Thursday that Contreras is likely to be sidelined for about 10 weeks after successful surgery Wednesday to repair a fractured left forearm, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Contreras had offered a 6-to-8 week timetable himself earlier this week, but indications are that it will probably be a bit longer than that. It puts the catcher out likely until right around the All-Star break. Ivan Herrera will operate as the Cardinals' primary catcher while Contreras is sidelined, with Pedro Pages backing him up.

  • Willson Contreras likely out until All-Star break
    Willson Contreras underwent successful surgery on Wednesday to repair a fractured left forearm.

    Advice: Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol told reporters Contreras is likely to miss upwards of 10 weeks, rather than the 6-8 week timetable the veteran backstop provided earlier this week. The 31-year-old figures to be on the shelf until sometime right around the All-Star break in mid-July. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:42 pm
     
  • Paul Sewald picks up first save against Reds
    Paul Sewald threw a scoreless inning to pick up a save Thursday against the Reds.

    Advice: Sewald has his first save of the season after missing the first month-plus of the season with an oblique strain. The right-hander looked good while picking up the save with two strikeouts, no hits allowed and 8-of-11 offerings landing for strikes. Sewald should see the bulk of save chances for Arizona now that he’s back healthy. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:29 pm
     
  • Lifts homer in win
    Santander went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Santander is hitting just .227 over seven games in May and batting .215 on the year, but he has a homer in two of his last three contests. The outfielder has added a .737 OPS through 35 games this season, though that's still a decent margin behind last year's .797 mark. Santander is up to six homers, 24 RBI, 18 runs scored, nine doubles, one triple and no steals through 147 plate appearances while holding down a starting role in right field.
