    • Drives in four runs
      Thomas went 3-for-6 with a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over Colorado.

      Advice: Thomas finished a home run shy of the cycle as he stuff the stat sheet Friday. He knocked an RBI single in the third inning and a two-run double in the fourth before capping his day off with an RBI triple in the sixth. Thomas struggled early in the year but in 24 games since returning from a knee injury, he's gone 27-for-94 (.287) with 13 extra-base this and 18 RBI. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
       
    • Lackluster start in Colorado
      Herz allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits over 3.2 innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out five during the win over the Rockies.

      Advice: All four runs against Herz came on three homers as he stumbled in his first appearance at Coors Field. Entering Friday's start, he'd given up only one long ball through 14.1 innings to begin his MLB career. Herz fired a 13-strikeout quality start against Miami on June 15 but has totaled just 12 innings in his other three outings. He's sporting a 4.50 ERA with a strong 26:5 K:BB through 18 innings. Herz is currently in line for a start in San Diego next week. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
       
    • Hammered for eight runs
      Hudson (2-10) allowed eight runs on 11 hits and two walks over three-plus innings while taking a loss against the Nationals on Friday.

      Advice: Hudson kept Washington scoreless for two innings before an ugly five-run third inning. The Nationals piled on four more runs in the fourth, with three of them being charged to Hudson. He's lost three straight starts while posting a 7.20 ERA during that stretch, bumping his season ERA to 5.63 through 76.2 frames. Friday's performance was his shortest outing of the year and the most runs he's allowed in a start. Hudson's next matchup is expected to be on the road against the White Sox.

    • Luis Garcia Jr. homers and steals base in victory
      Luis Garcia Jr. homered and stole a base in a blowout win over the Rockies on Friday.

      Advice: Garcia Jr. hit a three-run blast off a wildly ineffective Dakota Hudson in the third to give Washington a 5-0 lead. That’s his sixth homer of the season while the swipe puts him into double digits with 10 thus far in 2024. It’s been a solid — if unspectacular — first half thus far for Garcia Jr. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
       
    • Ezequiel Tovar homers, collects three hits in loss
      Ezequiel Tovar homered while going 3-for-5 in a loss Friday to the Nationals.

      Advice: The Rockies were able to pick up three homers off DJ Herz, and Tovar hit a solo shot off Herz in the third for his 12th homer of the year. The 22-year-old shortstop has put together a very strong first half of 2024 in his second full season with a .280 average, 799 OPS and 36 RBI. There’s massive upside for Tovar, especially when you remember his home park. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
       
    • Drew Millas homers, reaches four times in rout
      Drew Millas went 3-for-4 with a homer in a victory over the Rockies on Friday.

      Advice: A rare big day at the plate for Millas, but this is an exception on a night where the Nationals picked up 19 hits against the horrific Colorado pitching staff. Even with the strong game, he’s still slashing .217/.280/.391 and doesn’t belong anywhere near a fantasy roster. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
       
    • Lane Thomas drives in four in win over Rockies
      Lane Thomas drove in four runs while picking up three hits in an 11-5 win over the Rockies on Friday.

      Advice: One of those hits was a triple, and it scored CJ Abrams to give Washington their 11-5 win. He also doubled in a pair with another RBI coming on a single. Thomas also scored two runs while improving his slash to .238/.297/.420 along with 16 stolen bases in 46 games. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
       
    • DJ Herz gives up three homers in start vs. Rockies
      DJ Herz didn’t factor into the decision after allowing four runs — three earned — in 3 2/3 innings against the Rockies.

      Advice: Herz was able to strike out five in the start, which is good. He also gave up seven hits with three of them homers, which is not. The left-hander was dominant against the Marlins with 13 punchouts Saturday, but while the swing-and-miss ability was still apparent, the lack of ideal command was as well. He’s a very risky starter against the Padres next week. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
       
    • Dakota Hudson roughed up for eight runs
      Dakota Hudson allowed eight runs in just three innings while picking up a loss to the Nationals on Friday.

      Advice: Not ideal. Hudson allowed 11 hits in the loss — two of those homers — and he didn’t pick up a single strikeout. The 29-year-old has mostly been effective in 2024, and he’s earned his 2-10 record over the first half of 2024. The only good news for Hudson going forward is his next start comes against the White Sox. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
