  • Mike Yastrzemski drives in three versus Mets
    Mike Yastrzemski knocked in three runs with two singles against the Mets on Tuesday.

    Advice: Both were rather soft hits, and he struck out in his other at-bat, so we’re not sure we’d say his early slump is over. Yastrzemski is hitting .208/.296/.271 through 55 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:02 pm
     
  • Puts tally in home run column
    Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: After launching 60 combined homers in his first two MLB seasons, Rodriguez was homerless through 22 games in 2024 before tagging Dane Dunning for a two-run shot Tuesday. Despite his lack of long balls, Rodriguez has been a strong fantasy producer, having racked up five multi-hit games and four stolen bases in his last seven appearances.

  • Scores thrice
    Gurriel went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and a run batted in during Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Gurriel took part in the Diamondback's offensive bonanza Tuesday, collecting his third three-hit game of 2024 and scoring each time he reached base. The contest continued Gurriel's hot streak at the plate, batting 10-for-24 (.416) with four runs scored and two RBI over his last five games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:16 pm
     
  • Evan Carter goes 0-for-4, fans three times
    Evan Carter struck out three times as part of an 0-for-4 night against the Mariners on Tuesday.

    Advice: Carter just isn’t hitting the ball as hard right now as he did in his debut last September. He’s at .200/.307//387 in 88 plate appearances, and Statcast thinks his slugging percentage should be lower, what with his 32% hard-hit rate. He still seems like a sure bet as a useful mixed-league outfielder, but his fantasy upside is in question. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:15 pm
     
  • Hits grand slam in six RBI day
    Smith went 2-for-5 with a grand slam, a double, two additional RBI and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 14-1 win over St. Louis.

    Advice: After opening the season in Triple-A, Smith failed to log a hit in his first three games with the D-Backs. He made up for the slow start Tuesday, tagging reliever Zack Thompson for a two-RBI double in the fifth and a grand slam in the sixth. Smith's six runs batted in marked a career high, topping his previous best of four RBI. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:13 pm
     
  • Cody Bellinger doing OK after wall collision
    Cody Bellinger said after Tuesday’s game that he should be OK following his collision with the wall.

    Advice: X-rays were negative on Bellinger’s right rib contusion, and it’s possible he’ll be ready to go Wednesday. “We’re going to have to check on the wall, see if the wall’s OK first and then be careful around it next time,” he said. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:52 pm

  • Heating up at plate
    Buxton went 3-for-4 with a double and a game-tying home run in the ninth inning in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Buxton has started to heat up as he's hitting .333 (9-for-27) with four doubles, a triple and home run over his last seven games. More importantly, he's healthy and playing regularly in center field. He's getting a day at DH and and a day of rest each week, but otherwise is full speed. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:50 pm
     
  • Swipes bag, scores twice
    Freeman went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Freeman's RBI single in the seventh inning got the Guardians on the board, and he came around to score on a sacrifice fly. He's started to separate himself in a crowded battle for playing time, going 7-for-19 (.368) with two home runs and five RBI over his last six games. Freeman is slashing .222/.296/.413 with three homers, 12 RBI, three steals and 12 runs scored through 71 plate appearances as Cleveland's primary center fielder. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:46 pm

  • Clubs pair of homers
    Tauchman went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a solo home run during Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

    Advice: Tauchman entered Tuesday's game homerless on the year, a surprising fact considering his monstrous performance. He tagged J.P. France for a three-run shot in the first frame and followed up the long ball with a solo shot in the eighth inning. Tauchman has collected multiple hits in three of his last six games, batting .450 with six RBI and five runs scored during that stretch. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:38 pm
