  • On bench Sunday
    Turner is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: George Springer will get the start at DH as Addison Barger takes over in right field against right-hander Ben Lively. Age has caught up to Turner in a hurry -- he's slashing .225/.314/.345 with four home runs this season -- and the veteran will likely continue to receive regular rest days as the Blue Jays work in newcomers like Barger and Spencer Horwitz.

  • Drives in three in loss
    Semien went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, three RBI and one stolen base in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: Semien got the Rangers on the board with an RBI double in the fifth inning and added a two-out, two-run single in the ninth, but the comeback fell short. This was his third multi-hit effort in June, though it was his first since June 3. The second baseman is slashing .265/.330/.438 with 11 home runs, 40 RBI, 50 runs scored and three stolen bases over 69 contests this season. It's not a surprise that his speed has declined in his age-33 campaign, but the good news is the rest of his game appears to be in line with his career norms. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:33 pm
     
  • Marcus Semien drives thee runs in loss to Mariners
    Marcus Semien went 3-for-4 with three RBI in a loss to the Mariners on Saturday.

    Advice: Semien got the Rangers on the board with an RBI double off George Kirby to make it 4-1 Mariners. In the top of the ninth, the star second baseman drove in two more, but the Rangers still trailed 7-5 after that one. Semien has now driven in 40 runs in 2024, which gives him a good chance of reaching triple digits with a strong second half. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:05 pm
     
  • Sitting against lefty
    Lowe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Lowe will dodge a matchup with southpaw Chris Sale on Friday. Instead, Jose Caballero will bat eighth and play second base. Lowe has produced multiple hits in three of his last eight games with a pair of homers during that stretch. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:46 pm
     
  • Goes deep in rout
    Torres went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run, an additional run and a walk Wednesday in an 11-5 victory against Kansas City.

    Advice: Torres further busted open the game for the Yankees with a three-run shot off Daniel Lynch in the seventh inning. The long ball was his second in June and his sixth overall this season. Four of the long balls have come over his past 21 contests after Torres went deep just twice over his initial 49 games. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:47 pm
     
  • Gleyber Torres homers in blowout win over Royals
    Gleyber Torres went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer, two runs scored, and a walk in the Yankees’ 11-5 win over the Royals on Wednesday.

    Advice: Torres came into this game with hits in 12 of his last 13 games. After drawing a walk and scoring in the first inning, he blasted a three-run homer off Daniel Lynch in the seventh to give the Yankees a commanding lead. The 27-year-old second baseman is slashing .231/.308/.345 with six homers, 33 runs scored, 25 RBI, and four steals across 287 plate appearances. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:05 pm
     
  • Heading to bench Wednesday
    Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Turner will head to the bench for the second time in the series, opening up the designated-hitter spot for Daniel Vogelbach in the finale. Though he's begun to heat up in June with a .400 on-base percentage and .407 slugging percentage, Turner is still maintaining a .676 OPS on the season, the worst mark of his career since he became an everyday player in the big leagues.

  • Walks off Chicago
    Lowe went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: After the Rays tied the game earlier in the ninth, Lowe launched a 3-2 splitter from Hector Neris into the right-field bleachers for a three-run homer, giving Tampa Bay a 5-2 victory. It's the third homer for Lowe this season and his second in six games -- he's gone 6-for-23 (.261) with 10 RBI in that span. Overall, the 29-year-old second-baseman is batting .205 with a .711 OPS, 18 RBI and 11 runs scored through 26 games this season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:36 pm
     
  • Brandon Lowe hits game-winning home run
    Brandon Lowe went 1-for-5 with a game-winning home run in a 5-2 win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

    Advice: Lowe had been hitless in the game before coming to the plate in a tie game in the ninth and belting a 287-foot home run off Hector Neris for his third home run on the season. Lowe is now 8-for-30 in June with two home runs and 10 RBI while playing most days for the Rays. His batting average will likely never be overly high, but he does tend to get hot for stretches and the power is certainly real. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:27 pm
