    • Homers again Saturday
      Steer went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: He touched up Walker Buehler in the first inning to give the Reds an early lead. As Mark Sheldon of MLB.com notes, Steer has now gone deep in back-to-back games after entering the series without a homer since May 1 (17 games). His struggles from the middle of the order this month have led the Reds to the cellar in the NL Central, though it's certainly not all his fault. Steer sits with a .227/.341/.403 line with six homers, 35 RBI, 25 runs scored and 11 steals through 50 games this season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 1:50 am

    • Spencer Steer homers again as Reds top Dodgers
      Spencer Steer homered for the second consecutive game on Saturday, helping to power the Reds to a 3-1 victory over the visiting Dodgers.

      Advice: Steer got the scoring started in the opening inning on Saturday, crushing a 362-foot (94.9 mph EV) solo shot off of Walker Buehler. That would wind up being his only hit in four at-bats on the night. On the season, the versatile 26-year-old is slashing .227/.341/.403 with six long balls and 35 RBI. Rotoworld Saturday, 6:57 pm

    • Anthony Santander launches two-run homer in win
      Anthony Santander went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk to put the Orioles ahead in Saturday’s 5-3 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: After drawing a walk to lead off the seventh inning, Santander took Michael Kopech deep for a two-run blast in the eighth to give the Orioles a one-run lead. It was his second homer in three games. Though, he’s collected only three hits in his last seven. The 29-year-old slugger is hitting .205/.284/.432 with nine homers and 29 RBI across 197 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 2:27 pm
       
    • Sitting down Saturday
      Pages isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: Pages' single Friday broke an 0-for-12 skid at the plate, though he is still slashing just .200/.235/.325 across 85 plate appearances since the beginning of May. He'll get a day to regroup Saturday while Chris Taylor makes his first start of the year in center field, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:04 pm
       
    • Andy Pages not in Dodgers lineup on Saturday
      Andy Pages is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Reds.

      Advice: The 23-year-old rookie outfielder has been fighting it at the plate over his last 17 games — hitting a paltry .148/.197/.213 with one homer, four RBI and a 23/4 K/BB ratio over 66 plate appearances. Hopefully a day off to clear his head will help the cause. Chris Taylor will start in his place in center field and will bat ninth for the Dodgers against Hunter Greene and the Reds.

    • Austin Riley (side) out for 12th consecutive game
      Austin Riley (side) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Pirates.

      Advice: Yikes. Riley has progressed to taking batting practice without any issues, but it appears the Braves don’t want to take any chances here. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker told reports Friday that he doesn’t expect Riley back until Monday’s series opener against the Nationals. The 27-year-old fantasy star hasn’t played since May 12 and will miss his 12th consecutive contest on Saturday afternoon at PNC Park. It’ll be Zack Short drawing another start at the hot corner in his absence. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:14 am
       
    • Sitting as expected
      Riley (side) isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates.

      Advice: Manager Brian Snitker said Friday that Riley is likely to sit out until Atlanta begins its series against the Nationals on Monday, so the third baseman's absence Saturday isn't too surprising. Zack Short will continue starting at third base while Riley misses his 12th consecutive game. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:10 am
       
    • Knocks fifth home run
      Steer went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Steer got the Reds' offense started with a three-run blast in the first inning. He snapped a 17-game homerless drought, during which he'd posted an unsightly .527 OPS. Despite a terrific start to 2024 (1.264 OPS through 11 games), Steer now owns a .227/.343/.390 slash line with 17 extra-base hits through 204 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:06 pm

    • Austin Riley (side) takes batting practice Friday
      Austin Riley (side) took batting practice on the field prior to Friday’s game without any issues.

      Advice: The 27-year-old slugger is not in the Braves’ lineup on Friday night — the 11th consecutive game that he has missed due to a sore side. He continues to make progress though, and it’s possible he could be available off the bench at some point over the weekend. He’s tentatively expected to return to the lineup on Monday against the Nationals. Rotoworld Friday, 2:39 pm
