  • 71-46-3 1st Place
    • Goes yard twice in Pittsburgh
      Lowe went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 10-3 win over the Pirates.

      Advice: The 26-year-old outfielder touched up Luis Ortiz for both his long balls, hooking a third-inning slider out to right field for a solo shot before lofting a fastball to left-center in the sixth for a three-run blast. Lowe has five homers on the season in 27 games, with three of them coming in the last four contests. If he can stay healthy, he seems poised for a big surge heading into the All-Star break.

    • Bryan De La Cruz goes 3-for-4, hits 14th home run
      Bryan De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with a homer and a double as the Marlins edged the Mariners 3-2 on Friday.

      Advice: Oddly enough, the Marlins had no one with one hit tonight; De La Cruz had three, Josh Bell and Tim Anderson had two and no one else reached via hit or walk. De La Cruz’s homer was his third in four games and 14th on the season. If he played on a better team, he’d be an easy top 30 or 40 fantasy outfielders right now. As is, he still seems like a pretty fringy mixed-league option. Rotoworld Friday, 9:56 pm
       
    • Josh Lowe smacks two homers
      Josh Lowe went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a 10-3 win for the Rays over the Pirates.

      Advice: Lowe took righty Luis Ortiz deep twice and vaulted the Rays to a victory in Pittsburgh. Injuries have stalled what was hoped to be a big breakout season for the young left-hander as he only just reached 100 plate appearances after this game. There’s plenty of time for his ugly slash line to improve and his 16.4% Barrel Rate is by far the best mark he’s ever shown. Rotoworld Friday, 6:32 pm

    • Goes deep in win
      De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 win over St. Louis.

      Advice: De La Cruz led off the contest with a 429-foot solo shot off Matthew Liberatore. The 27-year-old outfielder has gone 4-for-14 with a pair of homers in his last three games -- De La Cruz is up to 13 long balls this year, putting him well on pace to surpass his career high of 19. Overall, he's slashing .245/.296/.424 with 34 RBI and 34 runs scored across 314 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:43 pm
       
    • Getting day off
      Vierling is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: Vierling had made 13 consecutive starts and the Tigers are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, so the 27-year-old is presumably just getting some routine maintenance. With Vierling on the bench, the Tigers will open up a spot in the starting outfield for Akil Baddoo, who will man left and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:51 am

    • Breaks out of slump
      Lowe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single during Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Twins.

      Advice: Lowe has been slow to reacclimate at the plate following his IL stint in late May, entering Tuesday's game 2-for-24 with 12 strikeouts since being activated June 5. However, he showed signs of life against the Twins, launching his third home run of the season and generating his third multi-hit game in 24 appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 5:28 am

    • Ends power drought
      Yelich went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Angels.

      Advice: Yelich opened the scoring with a first-inning homer, his first long ball since May 29. Power has been the only missing element for the veteran outfielder in June -- he's batting .322 (19-for-59) this month, but with just two extra-base hits and five RBI over 16 contests. For the year, Yelich is slashing .324/.400/.506 with seven homers, 32 RBI, 25 runs scored and 14 stolen bases over 200 plate appearances in what's shaping up to be his best campaign since 2019.

    • Absent from Cubs lineup
      Morel is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

      Advice: Morel has only one hit over his last five games and tough right-hander Logan Webb will take the ball Tuesday for San Francisco, so it's a sensible spot for a day off. David Bote is getting the call at third base while Morel regroups. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:59 pm

    • Smacks 12th home run
      De La Cruz went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Monday's 7-6 extra-innings loss versus the Cardinals.

      Advice: The 27-year-old's only hit in this game was a big one, as he tied the score at 4-4 with a three-run blast off JoJo Romero in the eighth inning. De La Cruz is already up to 12 homers in 2024 after he totaled 19 long balls in 153 games last year. The power production helps offset De La Cruz's underwhelming .242/.295/.416 slash line.
