  • Luke Raley hits two-run double to help M’s top Jays
    Luke Raley hit a two-run double to help the Mariners to a 2-1 win over the Blue Jays on Friday.

    Advice: Raley gave Seattle a 2-0 lead with a two-run double off Kevin Gausman. The first-year Mariner has nine doubles on the season while driving home 25 runs. Raley has been one of the more consistent hitters for Seattle, but that’s a bit of faint praise considering his slash of .249/.294/.430. Rotoworld Friday, 9:13 pm
     
  • Sets franchise record in loss
    Miranda went 4-for-4 with a homer, a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 13-12 loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Miranda came a triple shy of the cycle and set a Twins franchise record in the seventh inning by tallying his 10th consecutive plate appearance with a hit. The 26-year-old launched a 414-foot solo shot off Shawn Dubin earlier in the game for his ninth homer of the season. Miranda now sports a nine-game hit streak over which he's batted an absurd .559 (19-for-34) with seven extra base hits, 12 RBI and 11 runs scored. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:57 pm
     
  • Spencer Steer goes deep in Friday’s loss to Tigers
    Spencer Steer went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI on Friday night as the Reds fell to the Tigers in the opening game of their three-game weekend series.

    Advice: Steer got the Reds on the board in the fifth inning with a mammoth 425-foot (106.1 mph EV) solo shot off of Reese Olson. He also plated a run with an RBI single off of Jason Foley in the ninth inning and scored on Nick Martini’s RBI triple. With his two-hit attack, the dynamic 26-year-old is now slashing .242/.334/.427 with 12 homers, 56 RBI and 13 stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Friday, 7:37 pm

  • Two homers, five RBI in win
    Tellez went 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI in a 14-2 win over the Mets on Friday.

    Advice: Tellez got the Pirates on the board with a solo homer in the fourth inning and added a grand slam in the eighth. The first baseman has been on fire, homering five times with four multi-hit efforts over his past 10 games. He has just two hits against left-handed pitching this year but is hitting a solid .262 with seven home runs and 28 RBI over 202 plate appearances against righties. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:55 pm
     
  • Miguel Sanó goes hitless in loss to Cubs
    Miguel Sanó went 0-for-3 on Friday, leaving him 1-for-22 since coming off the injured list last week.

    Advice: That one hit was a homer, but he still has only two of those in 92 plate appearances for the season. At just .205/.295/.313 overall, he might be in danger of losing his spot once Anthony Rendon returns. Rotoworld Friday, 2:32 pm
     
  • Getting breather
    Rivera is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Rivera had made four consecutive starts at third base, but he'll take a seat for Friday's series opener. In his stead, Jake Burger will play third base and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:24 pm
     
  • Another monster performance
    Walker went 2-for-3 with two homers, three RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's win over the Dodgers while also drawing two walks.

    Advice: Walker was at it again Thursday, going back-to-back with Joc Pederson in the opening frame for the first baseman's first home run of the contest before smacking a two-run shot in his next at-bat. The 33-year-old has now clubbed two home runs in back-to-back games and has gone deep in three consecutive contests overall. Furthermore, Thursday marked his fourth straight game with multiple RBI and his fifth straight game with multiple hits. Over that latter stretch Walker's batting .650 (13-for-20) with five homers, 11 RBI and eight runs scored. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:35 am
     
  • Christian Walker homers twice again versus Dodgers
    Christian Walker hit two more homers and walked twice Thursday as the Diamondbacks dominated the Dodgers 9-3.

    Advice: Walker also homered twice Thursday. He has nine homers in nine games against the Dodgers this season, compared to 12 in 78 games against everyone else. With his OPS having climbed from .780 on Friday to .871 now, he’d seem to have a pretty good shot of finally landing his first All-Star berth. Rotoworld Thursday, 9:29 pm
     
  • Belts three-run homer
    Steer went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk against the Yankees in an 8-4 victory Thursday.

    Advice: Steer gave the Reds a 5-0 lead with his three-run blast to the short porch in right field in the fifth inning. The long ball was his 11th of the campaign, and he's just shy of the halfway point to reaching the 23 homers he hit last season. Steer also has 54 RBI, 41 runs and 13 stolen bases through 355 plate appearances this year. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:19 pm
