  • Elly De La Cruz hits 10th homer in Reds’ win
    Elly De La Cruz hit his 10th homer Tuesday in the victory over the Rockies.

    Advice: We’re not sure De La Cruz has pulled out of his lengthy slump just yet, but according to xwOBA, he has performed better these last 10-14 days than he did during the first three weeks of May. The homer tonight was his first since May 11. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago
     
  • Hunter Goodman goes 0-for-3 in third straight game
    Hunter Goodman went 0-for-3 and struck out twice Tuesday in the loss to the Reds.

    Advice: The Rockies will probably drop either Goodman or Sean Bouchard when Nolan Jones comes off the IL, and they’ve given Goodman three straight starts to help his chances of sticking. Alas, he’s gone 0-for-9, leaving him at .169/.222/.339 in 63 plate appearances this season. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago

  • Lifts first career homer
    Norby went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 10-1 win over Toronto.

    Advice: After going 0-for-3 with a pair of strikeouts in his debut, Norby collected the first hit of his career on a two-run home run off Nate Pearson in the eighth inning Tuesday. As one of the top prospects in a loaded Orioles farm system, Norby has a bright future, but he could make some noise now with Jorge Mateo (concussion) on the 7-day IL.

  • Luis Robert Jr. notches two hits, homers in return
    Luis Robert Jr. went 2-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday’s loss to the Cubs.

    Advice: After watching the White Sox’s bullpen give away a 5-1 lead in the sixth inning, Robert smacked a 463-foot homer to left-center to put the White Sox back on top 6-5. It was the third home run of the season for Robert, who was activated off the 10-day injured list earlier in the day after missing almost two months with a hip injury. Robert is slashing .250/.273/.594 in just 32 at-bats this season and has five RBI and a stolen base to go with his three homers. Rotoworld 56 minutes ago
     
  • Another multi-homer game
    Mountcastle went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a two-run shot during Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Mountcastle was a one-man wrecking crew Tuesday, launching homers in the third and fifth innings -- both off Bowden Francis. The outing was Mountcastle's second multi-homer game of June and the 10th of his career. The first baseman has been on fire during the O's last four series, a stretch where he's batting .388 with 11 RBI and 10 runs scored across 12 games. Rotowire.com Today, 8:15 pm
     
  • Goes deep in win
    Greene went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Greene extended his hitting streak to six games, and he's batting .391 with two home runs during the hot stretch. Overall, the 23-year-old outfielder is batting .249 with 11 long balls, which matches his career-high total from last season. Greene is still a bit inconsistent at the plate, which isn't surprising for a player his age, but he's been dynamic when he's locked in Rotowire.com Today, 8:08 pm
     
  • Duran drives in lone run for Rangers in loss
    Ezequiel Duran went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: Duran’s RBI single in the ninth gave the Rangers their only run in the evening and was just one of the five hits they had in the night. Duran and the Rangers spent much of the night being stifled by Jack Flaherty and the Tigers’ bullpen, but did manage to break through with two hits in the final frame. Duran has one home run and seven RBI on the season over 41 games and can continue to be left on the waiver wire. Rotoworld Today, 8:06 pm

  • Big effort in win
    McKinstry went 2-for-4 with a triple and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: McKinstry launched his first home run of the season in the second inning, then followed with his second triple of the year in the fourth. While Javier Baez is still the team's primary option at shortstop, McKinstry has managed to carve out a sizeable role amid Baez's struggles at the plate. McKinstry is probably best suited as a utility player, however, so he likely will continue to move around the field rather than replace Baez altogether. Rotowire.com Today, 8:01 pm

  • Riley Greene hits 11th homer in win over Rangers
    Riley Greene went 1-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday’s win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Greene smacked his 11th homer of the season off of Dane Dunning in the fifth inning to push the Tigers’ lead to 3-0. Greene has hit safely in six straight games and has two homers over that span. He continues to be a productive hitter at the top of the Tigers’ lineup and is fifth on the team with 24 RBI.
