  • Doubles, scores in loss
    Alexander went 1-for-2 with a walk, double and run scored in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Seattle.

    Advice: Alexander walked with two outs in the eighth inning and came around to score Arizona's lone run on Jake McCarthy's triple. The rookie shortstop has hit safely in six of the last seven contests, going 9-for-24 with six extra-base hits, nine RBI and four runs. Alexander's bat has played well, but defense could cost him opportunities. He ranks last among shortstops with minus-7 outs above average and minus-5 runs prevented. Rotowire.com Today, 6:14 am
     
  • Breaks out of slump
    Farmer went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's victory over the Angels.

    Advice: Farmer finally broke out of a terrible slump as he was hitting .100 (5-for-50) with a .390 OPS in his first 21 games. Farmer is splitting playing time at third base with Jose Miranda with Royce Lewis and Carlos Correa injured. Farmer will likely move to more of a bench role when Correa returns in the next few days with Willi Castro likely to get the most playing time at third base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:35 pm

  • Swipes first bag
    Lopez went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base Saturday against the Rays.

    Advice: Lopez has at least one hit in six straight starts, and even as the White Sox's primary leadoff hitter, that's translated to only three runs scored. He also managed his first successful stolen base of the season after having been caught on four previous occasions. Through 85 plate appearances, Lopez has offered very little at the dish by maintaining a .219 batting average and by tallying only one extra-base hit. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:22 pm

  • Logs fourth steal
    Mateo went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: Mateo has seen limited playing time this season, though he could get more looks after Jackson Holliday was sent down to Triple-A Norfolk on Friday. Through 35 plate appearances, Mateo is slashing .250/.314/.406 with four steals, one RBI, five runs scored and five doubles. He's unlikely to take a full-time role from Jordan Westburg, Ramon Urias or Cedric Mullins, but Mateo offers utility value and speed while playing primarily versus left-handed pitchers.

  • All set for rehab assignment
    Berti (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Sunday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Berti has been down for the last two weeks with a left groin strain but is ready to play in some rehab games to show he's over the injury. Because he hasn't missed that much time, Berti probably won't need too many rehab at-bats before being activated. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:34 pm

  • Ryan McMahon clubs two-run homer in loss Saturday
    Ryan McMahon went 1-for-2 and clubbed a two-run homer on Saturday night as the Rockies fell to the Astros in Mexico City.

    Advice: McMahon got the Rockies on the board first in this one, clobbering a mammoth 459-foot (108.9 mph EV) two-run shot off of Ronel Blanco in the first inning. He also drew a walk and struck out in the contest, participating in only the three true outcomes. He’s off to a tremendous start to the 2024 season, slashing .310/.393/.480 with four homers and 16 RBI. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:13 pm
     
  • Zach McKinstry smacks run-scoring triple in win
    Zach McKinstry went 1-for-2 with an RBI triple as the Tigers topped the Royals in Saturday night in Detroit.

    Advice: McKinstry got the Tigers on the board in the second inning, plating Colt Keith with an RBI triple in the second inning. He’s had a rough start to the season overall, slashing .216/.302/.270 with zero homers, two RBI and zero stolen bases in 43 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:17 pm

  • Launches first homer of 2024
    India went 4-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: The 27-year-old slugged a two-run homer off Michael Lorenzen in the seventh inning, giving the Reds what proved to be crucial insurance runs after they'd jumped out to an early 3-0 lead. The long ball was India's first of 2024, and after managing only two multi-hit performances in his first 21 games, he's now racked up six knocks in the last two. Despite the big weekend he's putting together, he's still slashing just .222/.347/.309 on the season with two steals, eight RBI and 11 runs in 81 plate appearances.

  • Christopher Morel exits after collision on Saturday
    Christopher Morel was removed from Saturday’s game against the Red Sox after colliding with teammate Alexander Canario.

    Advice: Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans. Be sure to check on his status prior to Sunday’s series finale.
