  • Stays hot at plate
    Burleson went 2-for-4 with two RBI singles, a run scored and two stolen bases during Sunday's 5-3 win over the Giants.

    Advice: Burleson generated multiple hits for the third consecutive contest, building on a two-homer effort Saturday with a pair of RBI on Sunday. After stealing just two bases in his first 67 games, Burleson has swiped three in the past two contests and took second base on both of his hits. The outfielder is 24-for-83 (.289) in June and ranks in the top 10 in MLB in both runs scored and homers during the month. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:49 pm
     
  • Alec Burleson has two hits, two SB in win
    Alec Burleson went 2-for-4 with two RBI and two steals in a win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Advice: Burleson had an RBI single in the first inning and then another RBI single in the second to give him 32 RBI on the season. The two swipes also gave him five on the year to go along with a .385/.319/.469 slash line. He hits near the top of the lineup pretty much every day and needs to be rostered in more leagues.

  • Back in lineup Sunday
    Rodriguez is starting in center field and batting third in Sunday's game against Miami.

    Advice: Rodriguez received a scheduled day off Saturday, but he's back for the series finale Sunday. On the season, he's batting .264/.313/.352 with seven home runs and 29 RBI over 329 plate appearances while stealing 16 bases. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:32 am
     
  • Drives in five Saturday
    Castellanos went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The 32-year-old slugger was hot from the jump, lofting a sacrifice fly in the first inning before crushing a two-run homer to left field off Scott McGough in the fifth and adding a two-run single in the sixth. Castellanos has shaken off his sluggish start to the campaign, and through 18 games in June he's slashing .270/.304/.554 with four homers, 10 runs and 13 RBI. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:47 am
     
  • Fills stat sheet in win
    Burleson went 3-for-4 with two home runs, five RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in a 9-4 win over the Giants on Saturday.

    Advice: Burleson singled and scored in the first and then walked and stole a base in the third. The real damage came in his next two at-bats, as he hit a three-run home run in the fourth frame and a two-run blast in the sixth. This was the first two-homer game of Burleson's major-league career, and he now has six multi-hit efforts and seven home runs in June. The 25-year-old has been a steady source of production this season, hitting .281 with 12 home runs, 30 RBI and three steals over 235 at-bats. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:04 pm
     
  • Castellanos belts 11th home run in win Saturday
    Nick Castellanos went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Advice: Castellanos’ home run was his 11th of the season and went so far he started removing his protective elbow pad before he even exited the batter’s box. In all, he had a sacrifice fly, two-run home run and two-run double. Castellanos has struggled this season with a .225 average and .672 OPS, but the Phillies lineup still provides opportunities to drive in runs as he now has 37 RBI on the year.

  • Alec Burleson homers, plates five in blowout win
    Alec Burleson went 3-for-4 with two homers and five RBI on Saturday, leading the Cardinals to a 9-4 blowout victory over the Giants.

    Advice: Burleson also stole a base in this one, just for good measure. It was arguably a career day for the 25-year-old corner outfielder as he notched his first multi-homer performance in the big leagues by taking former teammate Jordan Hicks deep for a three-run shot in the fourth inning before tacking on a two-run blast off reliever Sean Hjelle a couple frames later. He’ll continue to play regularly against right-handed pitching and is quietly emerging as a potential 25-plus homer threat, which is pretty remarkable considering he looked like nothing more than a bench player last year in his full-season debut.

  • Not starting Saturday
    Rodriguez is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Rodriguez will be in the dugout Saturday for what is a scheduled off day for the 23-year-old outfielder, per Daniel Kramer of MLB.com. For the month of June, Rodriguez is slashing .260/.325/.397 with 12 runs, three home runs and eight RBI over 73 at-bats. Dylan Moore, Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley will man the outfield Saturday.

  • Julio Rodríguez gets rare day off on Saturday
    Julio Rodríguez is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Marlins.

    Advice: It’s an extremely rare off day for Rodríguez, who has been struggling a bit at the dish over the last few weeks, batting .237 (14-for-59) with only two homers and two steals over his last 15 games. Hopefully an extra day of rest will enable him to get back on track at the plate. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:16 am
