  • Slugs eighth homer
    Bell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 extra-inning win over the Mariners.

    Advice: The first baseman went back-to-back with Bryan De La Cruz in the sixth inning to tie the score, as the Marlins would eventually collect their third straight walk-off win. The streaky Bell has nine hits in the last five games, but that comes on the heels of an 0-for-21 slump over the prior six contests. On the season, he carries a .251/.313/.389 slash line in 75 games with eight homers and 33 RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 7:29 am

  • Getting regular at-bats
    Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Friday against the Nationals.

    Advice: Goodman was in the lineup for the sixth time in the last seven games -- three of which have come at catcher -- due to the absences of Elias Diaz (calf) and Charlie Blackmon (hamstring). He's gone for 7-for-25 in that span while also popping four homers. Neither Blackmon nor Diaz have a clear timeline to return, meaning Goodman should continue to have fantasy value, particularly if he can gain catcher eligibility. Rotowire.com Today, 7:09 am
     
  • Clubs 12th homer
    Olson went 2-for-5 with a t wo-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-1 win over the Yankees.

    Advice: His fourth-inning shot off Carlos Rodon helped chase the southpaw from the game as part of a three-homer, eight-XBH barrage from Atlanta. Olson's bat has come alive in June, and through 74 plate appearances on the month he's slashing .309/.365/.574 with four of his 12 long balls on the year and 10 of his 40 RBI.

  • Homers twice in win
    Candelario went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 5-2 win over Boston.

    Advice: Candelario had been battling tendinitis in the back of his right knee, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, but he was ready to go Friday with the help of the Reds' training staff. The knee didn't cool off Candelario's scoring bat. He homered in his first two plate appearances -- the second two-HR game this month -- and is batting .347/.351/.736 over 18 games in June.

  • Goes deep again
    Santander went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's loss to Houston.

    Advice: Santander knocked an RBI single in the third inning before capping off Baltimore's seven-run eighth with a two-run shot. He entered June with nine homers and a .712 OPS through 51 games. Since then, he's caught fire; Santander has ripped 11 home runs while producing a 1.090 OPS in 20 June contests. Of those 11 long balls, six have come in his last seven games. Santander is now slashing .237/.309/.515 with 34 extra-base hits and 51 RBI this season. Rotowire.com Today, 4:50 am
     
  • Justin Foscue walks three times in rehab game
    Justin Foscue (oblique) walked three times on Friday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Foscue has been on the shelf since early April recovering from a left oblique strain, but doesn’t appear too far off from helping out the Rangers again in the near future as a bench option. The 25-year-old prospect is probably going to wind up seeing most of his action at first base with veteran stalwart Marcus Semien firmly entrenched at second base and Josh Smith putting together a breakthrough campaign in a utility role.

  • Deyvison De Los Santos homers Friday at Triple-A
    Diamondbacks 1B/3B prospect Deyvison De Los Santos went 3-for-4 with a solo homer on Friday for Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: De Los Santos has taken full advantage of the hitter-friendly Texas League and Pacific Coast League this season, slashing a robust .348/.401/.668 with 21 homers across 65 games between Double-A and Triple-A so far. The 21-year-old slugger is quickly emerging as a potential option for Arizona at third base, especially with veteran Eugenio Suárez continuing to struggle in the majors.

  • Homers in return to lineup
    Jones went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Nationals.

    Advice: Jones was out of the starting nine for two games with an illness, but he returned to the lineup and hit sixth Friday. He tallied his second home run of the season and has seven hits across 18 at-bats with only three strikeouts since being activated from the injured list June 14. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:48 pm

  • Hits second homer
    Arraez went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-5 win over the Brewers.

    Advice: Arraez entered Friday with just four hits over his last six games, an unusual lack of production for the contact-heavy infielder. He made an impact with his lone knock Friday, sparking the Padres' comeback with a fifth-inning blast. Over 76 games between the Padres and the Marlins this year, he's slashing .314/.349/.385 with two homers, 21 RBI, 43 runs scored, 15 doubles, a triple and three stolen bases. He's the only player in the majors with over 100 hits so far in 2024, but that's led to his usual empty batting average, as he offers little in the way of power or speed and won't generate many RBI as a leadoff hitter.
