    • Homers in third straight game
      Gelof went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Royals on Thursday.

      Advice: Gelof temporarily tied the score with his two-run shot off Seth Lugo in the seventh inning. After a slow start to the season, the second baseman has perked up with the bat of late, going deep in each of his past three contests and driving in seven runs across his past four games. Gelof's strikeout woes have continued over that span, though, as he's fanned eight times to push his strikeout rate on the season up to an ugly 34.7 percent. Rotowire.com Today, 12:04 am
       
    • Jake Cronenworth delivers walkoff homer for Padres
      Jake Cronenworth hit a walkoff homer off Joel Payamps as the Padres edged the Brewers 7-6 on Thursday.

      Advice: Payamps couldn’t possibly have made a worse 3-2 pitch, and Cronenworth deposited the breaking ball 355 feet down the right field line for his 11th homer of the year. That’s one more in 74 games this season than he had in 127 games last year Cronenworth had been in a little 2-for-24 slump since his previous homer on June 11. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:17 pm
       
    • Zack Gelof homers Thursday for third straight game
      Zack Gelof went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Royals on Thursday.

      Advice: Gelof’s home run was his eighth of the season and his third consecutive game with a home run. He’s still just hitting .202 on the season, but the power is starting to show up. Gelof hit 14 home runs in 69 games last year and could be a decent power source in the middle infield going forward. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:56 pm
       
    • Homers again in win
      Gelof went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

      Advice: Gelof has homered in back-to-back games and has hit four of his seven long balls this year in June. The second baseman has gone 8-for-29 (.276) over his last eight contests. For the season, he's at a .196/.250/.348 slash line with 19 RBI, 21 runs scored and eight stolen bases, though hitting at or near the bottom of a weak lineup is unlikely to do any favors for his counting stats.

    • Zack Gelof homers in win over Royals
      Zack Gelof went 1-for-4 with a solo homer against the Royals on Wednesday.

      Advice: Gelof’s only hit of the day left the yard as he took Dan Altavilla deep for a solo shot in the eighth inning to extend the Oakland lead. It was Geldof’s second homer in as many days. The 24-year-old second baseman is hitting .196/.250/.348 with seven homers, 21 runs scored, 19 RBI, and eight steals across 222 plate appearances. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:24 pm
       
    • Day off Wednesday
      Cronenworth is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Philadelphia.

      Advice: Cronenworth will get his first day off in more than a month as the Padres and Phillies conclude their series with a day game after a night game. Tyler Wade will fill in at second base while Cronenworth gets some rest. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:18 am
       
    • Fills box score Tuesday
      Gelof went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run, one stolen base and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Royals.

      Advice: Gelof took Alec Marsh deep in the fourth inning to provide the Athletics with enough offense to weather the Royals' comeback attempt. This was Gelof's third multi-hit effort in his last seven games, though the homer was his first since June 5. The second baseman is starting to put together better at-bats, but he's still at a .195/.250/.335 slash line with six homers, 18 RBI, 20 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 54 contests this season.

    • Zack Gelof hits three-run homer, steals base
      Zack Gelof went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a steal as Oakland’s No. 9 hitter Tuesday against the Royals.

      Advice: Gelof is pretty much impossible to use in shallow leagues while batting at the bottom of Oakland’s order, but one modest hot streak should be enough to put him back into the top third of the lineup. He’s at .195/.250/.335 right now. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:54 pm
       
    • Tyler Freeman out of lineup Tuesday vs. Mariners
      Tyler Freeman is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s tilt against the Mariners.

      Advice: It appears to just be a day off for Freeman. The Guardians instead will give a start to Daniel Schneemann in center field, and he’ll hit eighth against Bryce Miller and the Mariners in the opening game of the three-game set. Rotoworld Tuesday, 11:54 am
