  • Albies picks up two more hits, RBI in loss to M’s
    Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a loss Tuesday to the Mariners.

    Advice: Albies has driven in runs in both games against Seattle thus far. The switch-hitting infielder got Atlanta on the board in the eighth with a single to score Jarred Kelenic, and Albies is now up to 18 RBI on the season. That numbers even more impressive when you consider that Albies missed time with his toe injury. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
     
  • Jorge Polanco hits two-run homer against Atlanta
    Jorge Polanco hit a two-run homer in Seattle’s victory over Atlanta on Tuesday.

    Advice: Polanco gave Seattle a 2-0 lead with a homer off Reynaldo López, and it’s the fourth homer of the season for the second baseman. The former Minnesota Twin stalwart has gotten off to a slow start with just a .176 average and .290 slugging mark, but it seems very likely the results will kick into high gear over the next few weeks/months.

  • JJ Bleday homers twice in Oakland’s victory
    JJ Bleday delivered his second and third homers of the year Tuesday as the A’s topped the Pirates 5-2.

    Advice: Bleday’s best game of the season saw him launch balls 417 and 399 feet and improve his season line to .243/.304/.417. He’s not consistently hitting the ball hard enough to inspire a ton of faith, but he’s Oakland’s best center field option for now. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago

  • Lawrence Butler strikes out four times
    Leading off for the second time this season, Lawrence Butler struck out all four times he was up Tuesday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Those was four of Oakland’s nine strikeouts on the night. Boasting excellent exit velocity numbers, Butler’s xStats are far better than his current .195/.305/.325 line. and he might be somewhat interesting on another team. He might be a 2025 sleeper once the A’s move into a ballpark that’s quite a bit friendlier to hitters. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago

  • Santiago Espinal fans three times in defeat
    Santiago Espinal went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts versus the Padres on Tuesday.

    Advice: Remember when Espinal made the AL All-Star team a couple of years ago? It turns out that he’s really not that good. It’s something people knew at the time, but Jose Altuve bailed because he didn’t want to be booed and, thanks to MLB and the players’ vote, the first man in was the guy who had 2 1/2 months of decent stats instead of the actual quality middle infielders. Espinal is batting .185/.240/.246 this season, and he might find himself in the minors if the Reds get Noelvi Marte and Matt McLain back in the second half. Rotoworld Today, 10:05 pm

He's on pace to exceed his career-high home run total of 11, which he achieved in 472 plate appearances last season. During his last five games, Joe is batting 6-for-19 (.316) with a pair of doubles and Tuesday's home run. Rotowire.com Today, 9:58 pm

  • Swats two homers
    Bleday went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Bleday went yard twice for the first time in his career Tuesday, tagging Mitch Keller for a solo shot in the fifth and Josh Fleming for a two-run homer in the seventh for his second and third long balls of the campaign. The contest was Bleday's first multi-hit game since Apr. 14. However, he's racked up an extra-base hit in seven of his last nine contests with six walks and five strikeouts during that stretch.
