    Wong went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Reds.

    Advice: Wong got the Red Sox started with a two-run home run in the fourth inning, extending a hit streak to 13 games (17-for-48, .354). The catcher, who entered 2024 with a career .232 batting average, is up to .330 for the season. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:50 am

    Advice: Stephenson was back in the starting lineup after being held out for two games with an undisclosed injury, although he did pinch hit Saturday.

  • Clubs homer
    Bailey went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Bailey got the Giants on the scoreboard in the seventh inning, breaking up Sonny Gray's perfect game with a two-out solo home run. The long ball was Bailey's sixth of the season and his second in the last five games. The 25-year-old is batting 10-for-26 (.385) with four runs and two RBI in his last six games.

  • Patrick Bailey homers in loss to Cardinals
    Patrick Bailey went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Advice: Bailey crushed a 425-foot shot off of Sonny Gray in the seventh inning at 104 mph for his sixth big fly of the year. Bailey is also slashing .292/.362/.444 and has been tremendous for the Giants when not on the IL as he battled concussion issues. He’s playing well enough and starting often enough that he can be rostered in one-catcher leagues far more regularly. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:16 pm
