  • Tyler Stephenson hits solo bomb in loss to Dodgers
    Tyler Stephenson hit a solo homer while going 2-for-4 in a loss to the Dodgers on Friday.

    Advice: Stephenson has his fifth homer of the year with his solo shot off James Paxton; one of two the Reds were able to get against Paxton in the loss. So far in May the catcher has registered an .820 OPS, and this makes four straight games for the backstop with extra-base hits. Solid. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:40 pm
     
  • Three hits in win
    Perez went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: Perez opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning and got on base three more times in Friday's victory. The veteran catcher is batting .294 (15-for-51) with seven extra-base hits and eight RBI in May. That's actually down from his overall numbers -- Perez is slashing a stellar .335/.403/.557 with eight home runs, 34 RBI, 18 runs scored and 11 doubles over 176 plate appearances. He last hit above .300 for a full season in the abbreviated 2020 campaign, so there is a high risk that he cools off eventually in 2024, but he's been excellent over the first quarter of the season.

  • Four hits in loss
    Wong went 4-for-5 with an RBI double in Friday's loss to St. Louis.

    Advice: Wong continues to impress in 2024 as he's up to 11 multi-hit efforts in his first 30 games. It was his first four-hit game since April 24, bumping his slash line up to .362/.389/.552 with 10 extra-base hits and 16 RBI. Through 11 games this month, Wong has gone 15-for-38 (.394) with four multi-hit games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:02 pm

  • Travis d’Arnaud leaves game with head contusion
    Travis d’Arnaud was pulled from Friday night’s battle against the Padres due to a head contusion.

    Advice: The 35-year-old backstop was dizzy after taking a foul ball off of his mask, prompting his removal from the game. The good news, is that he passed the initial concussion tests without issue, but he will be evaluated again on Saturday before the team makes a determination on his status. For now, he should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:32 pm
     
  • Nick Fortes goes 3-for-3, homers in win
    Nick Fortes went 3-for-3 with a three-run homer and three runs scored against the Mets on Friday.

    Advice: The home run was just Fortes’ second in what’s been a disastrous start to the season. He’s had some intriguing batted ball metrics in the past, but this was just his second barrel of the season. He’s hard to trust even in two-catcher formats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:46 pm
     
  • Exits with dizziness
    D'Arnaud was removed from Friday's game against San Diego due to dizziness.

    Advice: D'Arnaud took a foul ball off his facemask in the fifth inning and did not take the field for the sixth. He'll be evaluated for a possible concussion, but even if he's cleared it wouldn't be a surprise if Chadwick Tromp got the start Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:19 pm
     
  • Yasmani Grandal knocks in three against Cubs
    Yasmani Grandal went 2-for-5 and knocked in three runs in the rout of the Pirates on Friday.

    Advice: Grandal has started four of the last five games over Joey Bart, so it’s not much of a job share behind the plate for the Pirates right now. Grandal has hit .212/.229/.424 but with nine RBI in 10 games since coming off the injured list. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:24 pm
     
  • Miguel Amaya hits second homer in loss to Pirates
    Miguel Amaya hit just his second homer of the year in the eighth inning Friday to break up the Pirates’ shutout bid in a Cubs loss.

    Advice: Amaya’s homer projected at 374 feet and would have gone out of 10 ballparks, according to Statcast. In spite of Amaya’s struggles offensively — he’s batting .184/.248/.297 — the Cubs have continued to give him most of the starts behind the plate. Yan Gomes has gotten the nod in just one of the team’s last six games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:24 pm
