  • Riley Greene homers twice in win
    Riley Greene went 4-for-5 with two home runs, six RBI and two runs scored in a 13-5 win over the Astros on Saturday.

    Advice: Greene didn’t hit for a ton of power last year while recovering from a shoulder injury, so there was a narrative that he was more of a slap hitter, but that was never the case. The 23-year-old is now up to 14 home runs on the season to go along with 36 RBI and a .836 OPS. He looks to be in the midst of a full-on breakout and has a bright fantasy future ahead of him.

  • Oneil Cruz (ankle) remains out of Pirates’ lineup
    Oneil Cruz (ankle) remains out of the Pirates’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s showdown against the Rockies.

    Advice: It’s the second straight game that the dynamic 25-year-old shortstop has missed at Coors Field due to a sore ankle. The encouraging sign is that is still hasn’t been placed on the injured list, so the Pirates still believe that it’s truly a day-to-day type of situation. Jared Triolo will once again start in his place and will bat eighth against Rockies’ southpaw Ty Blach. Rotoworld Today, 3:27 pm

  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. gets rare day off on Saturday
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the division-rival Nationals.

    Advice: It’s a rare day off for Chisholm, who has made an appeares in 68 of 69 contests this season for Miami. The talented 26-year-old outfielder is batting .254/.319/.435 with 10 homers and 13 steals in 285 plate appearances. It’ll be Dane Myers patrolling center field on Saturday afternoon in his absence.

  • Adds steal Friday
    Gimenez went 2-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Gimenez has two steals over his last three games, giving him 11 thefts on the year. The second baseman has struggled at the plate in June, batting .206 (7-for-34) over eight contests, but he continues to see a starting role even after a recent run of the Guardians facing four left-handed starters in a six-game span. For the season, Gimenez is slashing .266/.320/.363 with four home runs, 35 RBI, 35 runs scored, 10 doubles and one triple. Rotowire.com Today, 10:15 am
     
  • Charged with blown save
    Miller struck out one batter and walked one over 1.2 innings Friday against Minnesota. He was charged with a blown save during the loss.

    Advice: Miller entered the game in the eighth inning with the bases jammed and immediately walked in the game-tying run. He then retired five straight batters before the Twins went on to win in the 10th. Miller's ERA dropped to 2.27, as he was not charged with a run, but he's now blown two of his last three save chances dating back to May 30. Rotowire.com Today, 4:52 am

  • Freddy Peralta surrenders six runs to Reds
    Freddy Peralta was tagged for six runs in 5 1/3 innings by the Reds on Friday.

    Advice: We sure do miss the Peralta of April. He gave up 10 hits tonight, which matches his total from both his first three starts and his second three starts. In fact. he had never before surrendered 10 hits in an outing. His velocity has held steady, and he got 16 missed swings tonight, but the Brewers couldn’t pick him up in this one. He’ll take a 4-4 record and a 4.38 ERA into his next start against the Angels. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:24 pm
     
  • McCutchen homers in win over Rockies
    Andrew McCutchen hit a homer and scored two runs in a 5-2 win for the Pirates over the Rockies on Friday.

    Advice: McCutchen is now up to nine homers with his solo shot off Ryan Feltner; one of three homers the Bucs hit against Feltner in the contest. The 37-year-old outfielder also doubled for the sixth time in 2024. It’s a far cry from his MVP status a few years ago, but the pair of extra-base hits improves his slash to a respectable — if modest — .239/.339/.394 over the first 69 games of the campaign.
