  • 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 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 Friday, 9:54 pm

  • 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 Friday, 9:28 pm

  • 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.

  • 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 Thursday, 1:42 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.

  • Three hits in Wednesday's win
    Guerrero went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Wednesday's win over the Phillies.

    Advice: All three hits were singles, but two of them had exit velocities over 113 mph. Guerrero appears to be heating up, batting .350 (14-for-40) over the last 10 games with three doubles and a homer, but his .246/.344/.373 slash line on the season remains disappointing, Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:07 am
     
  • Stays hot in twin bill
    Rooker went 5-for-9 with a walk, two doubles, a home run, four runs scored and three RBI across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader split with the Rangers.

    Advice: The 29-year-old did most of his damage in the matinee, slugging a three-run homer in the seventh inning off Cole Winn. Rooker has hit safely in six of the last seven games, batting .462 (12-for-26) with three doubles, four long balls, 10 runs, 11 RBI and a strong 5:5 BB:K. After a breakout 2023, Rooker might be finding another level this season -- through 27 contests, he's slashing .277/.370/.628 with nine homers and 24 RBI. Rotowire.com Thursday, 6:39 am
     
  • Homers among three hits
    Pena went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in a 9-4 loss to the Yankees on Wednesday.

    Advice: Pena had been in a small funk coming into the contest, going 2-for-14 over his previous four games. He bounced back Wednesday with his fourth three-hit performance of the campaign, which included his first long ball in May. Pena has been a pleasant surprise for Houston this season, slashing .326/.367/.464 with four homers, 14 RBI, 21 runs and five stolen bases through 147 plate appearances.
