  • Sitting vs. lefty
    Naylor is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Toronto.

    Advice: Naylor will begin Sunday's game in the dugout with the Blue Jays sending southpaw Yusei Kikuchi to the mound. Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win. David Fry will start behind home plate Sunday and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:30 am
     
  • Demolishes 23rd homer
    Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Angels while also drawing a walk.

    Advice: Ohtani jumped on a hanging slider from Zach Plesac in the third inning and launched it 459 feet into the stands in right-center field for his 23rd home run of the season. The superstar slugger has now homered in three consecutive games and has collected at least one RBI in seven straight. Over that latter stretch, he's batting .481 (13-for-27) with six homers, 13 RBI and 10 runs scored. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:15 am
     
  • Shohei Ohtani homers again, Dodgers crush Angels
    Shohei Ohtani homered for the second consecutive contest against his former team during Saturday’s Freeway Series finale, leading the Dodgers to a commanding 7-2 victory over the Angels.

    Advice: Ohtani connected for his 23rd round-tripper of the season in the fourth inning of Saturday’s Freeway Series finale against his former organization, launching a gargantuan 459-foot two-run moonshot to right-center field off Angels starter Zach Plesac as part of the Dodgers’ four-run explosion in the frame. The 29-year-old fantasy superstar homered in both games of the two-game set at Dodger Stadium and has gone deep a staggering six times over his last seven contests since June 16. Unreal.

  • Best game of season
    McCormick went 3-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs, a stolen base and three total runs scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Orioles.

    Advice: McCormick got a rare start versus a right-hander -- his second in the last three games -- and he made it count by taking Corbin Burnes deep in the fifth inning. All three of McCormick's homers this year have come within his last five games, and he's added six RBI and six runs scored in that span. Overall, he's posted a mediocre .225/.286/.358 slash line with 15 RBI, 15 runs scored and three stolen bases across 133 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:03 pm
     
  • Slugs homer in win
    Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Naylor snapped a 25-game homer drought dating back to May 4. The catcher has struggled at the plate for much of the campaign, but he's gone a respectable 6-for-23 (.261) over his last seven contests. With the Guardians carrying three catchers, Naylor's margin for error at the plate is thin -- he doesn't have the defensive skill of Austin Hedges or the offensive consistency of David Fry in his favor. Naylor is slashing .184/.253/.291 with four homers, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base over 174 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:12 pm
     
  • Chas McCormick homers twice in win over Orioles
    Chas McCormick homered twice to help the Astros to a 5-1 win over the Orioles on Saturday.

    Advice: McCormick also singled and scored three times in the contest. His last homer may have earned the ire of those who roster Josh Hader, as it made it a 5-1 game and took away a save chance for Hader. McCormick has dealt with injuries, but more games like this will (obviously) give him a good chance of getting more playing time going forward. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:30 pm
     
  • Gleyber Torres returns to lineup on Saturday
    Gleyber Torres (groin) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Braves.

    Advice: Torres sat out Friday’s series opener following an early exit from Thursday’s game due to right groin tightness. It’s a positive sign that he’s back in the lineup and it confirms the belief from Yankees manager Aaron Boone that Torres wasn’t dealing with anything major. Rotoworld Saturday, 12:01 pm
     
  • Back in lineup Saturday
    Torres (groin) is starting at second base and batting seventh Saturday against Atlanta.

    Advice: Torres left Thursday's game against the Orioles in the sixth inning due to tightness in his right groin. He was held out of Friday's game as a precaution and is back in the lineup Saturday. For the month of June, Torres is slashing .194/.268/.387 with three home runs and 12 RBI over 62 at-bats.

  • Ends homer drought
    Meyers went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Friday against the Orioles.

    Advice: Meyers smacked his seventh home run of the season in the fifth inning, ending a 23-game drought without a long ball. He's hit only .195 in that span with seven RBI and seven runs scored, though he has still managed to chip in four steals. Meyers has maintained regular playing time in center field throughout his slump thanks to his excellent defense. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:56 am
