    • Homers three times in win
      Rice went 3-for-5 with three home runs and seven RBI in a 14-4 win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

      Advice: Rice opened the scoring with a leadoff home run in the first inning and added three-run blasts in the fifth and seventh. According to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, he is the first rookie in Yankees history with a three-homer game. The 25-year-old is hitting .294 with four home runs and 12 RBI through his first 60 major-league plate appearances while earning opportunities to hit atop one of the league's best lineups.

    • Wood has first home run, knocks in five in win
      James Wood went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and five RBI against the Cardinals on Saturday.

      Advice: Wood hit his first double and home run in the major leagues in this game. He clubbed a three-run home run off Lance Lynn in the bottom of the second inning to make it 7-0 Nationals. In the third inning, he knocked in two more runs with a double. In 23 at-bats, he’s hitting .304 with an .885 OPS for Washington. Rotoworld Today, 4:45 pm
       
    • Scott picks up 13th save, lowers ERA to 1.42
      Tanner Scott threw a scoreless inning to get a save Saturday against the White Sox.

      Advice: Scott had his good control Saturday — something that isn’t always there even with his gaudy numbers — and threw 10-of-14 pitches for strikes while picking up a punchout. It’s the 13th save of the season; a more impressive number when you consider Miami has won only 31 games. Scott is very likely going to be playing for a new team by the end of July. The question is whether it’ll be in a fantasy-relevant situation. Rotoworld Today, 3:52 pm
       
    • Yordan Alvarez diagnosed with right knee contusion
      Yordan Alvarez is considered day-to-day after being diagnosed with a right knee contusion on Saturday.

      Advice: Alvarez was pulled from Saturday’s battle against the Twins after being plunked by a pitch on his right knee in his previous plate appearance. It appears to have been a precautionary measure though as the Astros won’t even have any imaging done on their 27-year-old slugger. There’s a chance that he gets Sunday off to be on the safe side, but Alvarez shouldn’t be looking at any sort of extended absence. Rotoworld Today, 2:20 pm
       
    • Has bruised knee
      Alvarez was diagnosed with a right knee contusion Saturday and didn't go in for imaging, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Alvarez was hit in the knee by a pitch in the sixth inning of Saturday's game and although he stayed in to run the bases, he was later removed in the eighth inning. Considering he didn't need to undergo imaging, the 27-year-old should be viewed as day-to-day. However, with a team off day coming Monday, the Astros could opt to play it safe and hold Alvarez out of Sunday's series finale against Minnesota. Rotowire.com Today, 2:11 pm
       
    • Jose Miranda ties record with hit in 12 straight at-bats
      Jose Miranda went 2-for-3 with one RBI in a 9-3 win against the Astros on Saturday.

      Advice: Miranda came into this contest having collected a hit in ten straight at-bats. After he was hit by a pitch in the first inning, he made it 11 straight at-bats with a single in the second to drive in a run. And with another base hit in the fourth inning, Miranda tied the all-time record with a hit in 12 consecutive at-bats. The streak would end with a fly out in the sixth. The 26-year-old infielder is slashing .328/.370/.531 with nine homers and 43 RBI across 262 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 1:55 pm

    • Exits after HBP
      Alvarez was removed from Saturday's game versus Minnesota after getting hit by a pitch, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Alvarez took a 94-mph fastball off his right knee during the sixth inning of Saturday's contest. He initially remained in the game to run the bases despite looking uncomfortable, and Grae Kessinger pinch hit for him during the eighth frame. Houston will presumably take Alvarez in for imaging, and the team should have more information on his injury in the near future. Rotowire.com Today, 1:41 pm
       
    • Yordan Alvarez (knee) exits after hit by pitch
      Yordan Alvarez was removed from Saturday’s game against the Twins a couple of innings after he was plunked in the right knee by a pitch.

      Advice: Alvarez remained in the game to run the bases for himself but was walking slowly and hobbling as he made his way to first base. When his spot in the order came back around in the eighth inning, Grae Kessinger was sent out to pinch-hit for him. The fact that the Twins had a six-run lead at the time may have played a role in his removal, but be sure to pay close attention to his status after the game and prior to Sunday’s contest.

    • Ben Rice launches three homers versus Red Sox
      Ben Rice went 3-for-5 with three homers and seven RBI to power the Yankees to a 14-4 win over the Red Sox on Saturday.

      Advice: What a day for the rookie. Starting at first base and hitting leadoff, Rice got the scoring started with a solo blast off Josh Winckowski in the first inning. He later launched his second homer of the game, a three-run shot off Chase Anderson in part of a seven-run fifth inning for New York. Rice then went yard for a third time with another three-run homer in the seventh. The 25-year-old is off to an impressive start with the Yankees, slashing .294/.383/.588 with four homers and 12 RBI across 60 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 1:16 pm
