  • Pops eighth homer
    Thomas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The 28-year-old outfielder took Ryne Nelson deep in the third inning to give the Nationals an early lead that quickly slipped away. Thomas had a tough start to the season due to injuries, but he appears healthy now and back in his 2023 form. He's hit safely in 11 of the last 13 games, slashing .292/.345/.667 over that stretch with five of his eight homers on the year and 12 of his 23 runs. Rotowire.com Today, 6:41 am
     
  • Delivers two in win
    Grichuk went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Grichuk lined a two-out double that plated Arizona's eventual winning run as part of a three-run fourth inning. He's been productive in a part-time role, mainly starting against left-handers, and is batting .304/.360/.464 through 46 games. His .824 OPS is a career-high. Rotowire.com Today, 5:53 am
     
  • Goes deep in win
    Hays went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 17-5 win over the Yankees.

    Advice: Hays has gone 9-for-24 (.375) over his last nine games, though he also has a 1:7 BB:K in that span. The outfielder has had to settle for a short-side platoon role in left field recently, sharing the position with Colton Cowser. For the year, Hays has a .239/.298/.381 slash line with three homers, 12 RBI, 14 runs scored, seven doubles and no stolen bases over 45 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:20 pm
     
  • Heliot Ramos stays hot with 10th homer in loss
    Heliot Ramos blasted a three-run homer on Thursday in the Giants’ loss to the Cardinals at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama.

    Advice: Ramos put San Francisco on the board with a no-doubter to right field in the third inning off Cardinals starter Andre Pallante for his 10th round-tripper of the season. The 24-year-old post-hype prospect has put together a pretty remarkable breakout campaign so far, batting .307 (46-for-150) with 10 homers, 35 RBI and one steal through 39 games. He’s homered eight times in 18 games since June 1. Unreal. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:05 pm
     
  • Homers in return to lineup
    Judge went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Thursday's loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Judge did his best to bring the Yankees back from a large deficit early with a two-run shot in the third and an RBI single in the fifth, but his effort would fall well short as Baltimore's offense exploded for 17 runs. The long ball was the outfielder's 28th of the season, which leads the majors, and he's now recorded at least one RBI in seven of his last 11 games. Judge is batting .418 in June following Thursday's performance with seven home runs, 22 RBI and 17 runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:18 pm

  • Clubs two homers
    Brennan went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs and a double Thursday against the Mariners.

    Advice: Brennan cranked his first long ball off Luis Castillo in the second to tie the game, then blasted a second off Trent Thornton that provided the winning margin for the Guardians. It was the first career two-homer game for Brennan, who also sandwiched in a ground rule double in the fourth to give him three extra-base hits on the day. Brennan has caught fire of late as this was the fourth time he's had multiple hits in his last six games, giving him 10 hits in 24 at-bats (.417) with two homers, two doubles, four RBI and six runs scored during that timeframe.

  • Another multi-hit game
    Mullins went 2-for-6 with a double, a two-run homer and three runs scored in Thursday's win over the Yankees.

    Advice: Mullins capitalized on a hanging slider from Luis Gil in the top of the second and sent it into the stands in right field for a two-run shot, giving the Orioles an early 3-1 lead. The outfielder would then add a double in the ninth before coming around to score for a third time, giving him back-to-back multi-hit games. Mullins has also scored multiple runs in two straight contests, while Thursday's home run marked his first long ball since April 26 against the Athletics. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:09 pm

    Yastrzemski exited Thursday's game against the Cardinals due to left side tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Yastrzemski exited the game in the fourth inning and was seen departing the field with a trainer. It's unclear how the injury occurred or how long he may be sidelined. Austin Slater entered the game in Yastrzemski's place. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:52 pm
     
  • Mike Yastrzemski exits early Thursday vs. Cards
    Mike Yastrzemski was removed from Thursday’s game against the Cardinals with left side tightness.

    Advice: Yastrzemski appeared to suffer some sort of side issue during the early stages of Thursday’s contest at historic Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, prior to leaving the game with a trainer in the fourth inning. He was 1-for-1 with a run scored before his early exit. There should be an additional update on his status following the contest. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:51 pm
