  • 5-1-0 2nd Place
    • Mashes fifth homer
      Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 7-0 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: After hitting the ball hard most of the early part of the season with little to show for it, Olson got rewarded for his efforts Tuesday, driving in his first run with a first-inning double that had an exit velocity of 105.2 mph before he belted a three-run bomb off Jameson Taillon in the fourth that left his bat at 108.2 mph. Over the last eight games, Olson is batting .310 (9-for-29) with two of his five homers on the season as he gets back into his 2023 form. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:22 am
       
    • Matt Olson has two hits, HR in win over Cubs
      Matt Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in a win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

      Advice: Olson took a fourth-inning pitch from Jameson Taillon and clobbered it 432 feet at 108.2 mph off the bat. He also had a 105.2 mph double in his first at-bat of the game. It hasn’t been the best start to the season for the slugger, but he’s still barreling the ball an impressive amount pulling the ball more than ever, and swinging and missing only a little bit more than normal. His zone contact is the highest it’s been since 2021, so both the power and batting average should be coming shortly. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:46 pm
       
    • Idle Tuesday
      Steer isn't in the Reds' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Steer will catch a breather Tuesday after extending his hitting streak to five games while also driving in two runs during Monday's loss. Jacob Hurtubise will get the nod to start in left field and bat ninth while Steer rests. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 4:06 pm

    • Spencer Steer getting rare day off on Tuesday
      Spencer Steer is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: It’s a rare off day for Steer, who has started to heat up at the dish recently with at least one hit in each of his last five contests, raising his batting average nearly 20 points from .234 to .248 in the process. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:29 pm

    • Two more RBI
      Steer went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double and two RBI in Friday's 4-2 win over San Francisco.

      Advice: Steer's first-inning, two-out double plated the Reds' first run, then his third-inning single tied the game. He has four RBI in the last two games and leads the Reds with 27 runs driven in. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:27 am

    • Drives home only runs in victory
      Rizzo went 2-for-4 with a home run and two total RBI in Friday's 2-0 win over Tampa Bay.

      Advice: Rizzo accounted for both runs in the contest, knocking an RBI single in the fourth inning and providing some insurance with a solo homer in the ninth. The veteran first baseman has reached base safely in all but one of his eight games so far in May, slashing .296/.406/.519 with two homers and seven RBI over that stretch. With seven long balls and 22 RBI through 39 games on the campaign, Rizzo is already more than halfway to the totals he posted over 99 contests last season. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:05 am
       
    • Finally snaps slump
      Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's win over the Mets.

      Advice: Olson hit Atlanta's third and final homer during the third inning and it proved to be the game-winning blast. It was his first long ball since April 7, snapping an uncharacteristic 26-game skid. During that extended drought, he posted a .508 OPS with 30 strikeouts. On the year, Olson is slashing .202/.311/.372 with 13 extra-base hits and 18 RBI through 35 contests. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:55 pm
       
    • Anthony Rizzo powers Yankees past Rays on Friday
      Anthony Rizzo clubbed his seventh home run of the season and drove in a pair on Friday night, propelling the Yankees to a 2-0 victory over the Rays in Tampa Bay.

      Advice: Rizzo broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with an RBI single off of Taj Bradley. He tacked on an insurance run in the ninth with his 392-foot (103.8 mph EV) off of Shawn Armstrong. The 34-year-old slugger finished the evening 2-for-4 and is now slashing .265/.337/.435 with seven long balls and 22 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Friday, 6:34 pm
       
    • Two RBI in loss
      Steer went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Arizona.

      Advice: Steer delivered two runs on a two-out single in the bottom of the seventh inning to tie the game before the Diamondbacks went ahead an inning later. He continues to produce with runners in scoring position, posting a .359 batting average and 1.022 OPS in such situations. Rotowire.com Friday, 5:44 am
