    Winker isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Sunday's game versus Colorado.

  • Goes yard again
    Kwan went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Kwan saw a 14-game hitting streak end Friday with an 0-for-4 performance, but he rebounded nicely Saturday. The homer was his third in June, and he's added six doubles, 10 RBI and 16 runs scored this month. The outfielder has matched his career high with six long balls, and with over half of the season to go, he has a reasonable chance at double digits. He's slashing a fantastic .390/.449/.564 with 22 RBI, 45 runs scored, three stolen bases, 12 doubles and two triples over 48 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:05 pm
     
  • Kwan has two hits, home run in win Saturday
    Steven Kwan went 2-for-4 with a double and a home run against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

    Advice: Is there anything Kwan can’t do? The home run was his sixth of the year and second in his last four games. After going 0-for-4 on Friday to snap his 14-game hitting streak, he bounced back with another two hits. Kwan has been one of the best hitters in the league. He’s hitting .390 with a 1.013 OPS on the season now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:12 pm

    Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Southpaw Tommy Henry will start on the mound for Arizona, so the lefty-hitting Marsh will take a seat on the Phillies' bench to begin Saturday's contest. Cristian Pache will fill the open spot in center field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:03 am

  • Clubs homer Friday
    Castro went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, a double and two total runs scored in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: Castro logged his fourth multi-hit effort in his last five games, with the lone exception being Thursday when he started the game on the bench. Batting .290 (20-for-69) in June, Castro has been impressive for the Twins, and it hasn't been just an empty average. He has nine extra-base hits, eight RBI and 13 runs scored over 19 contests this month. For the season, he's posted a .272/.357/.444 slash line with six homers, 24 RBI, 43 runs scored, eight stolen bases and a career-high 19 doubles through 76 games. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:30 pm

  • Bryan Reynolds homers in loss
    Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk on Friday against the Rays.

    Advice: The home run was Reynolds’ 11th of the season and landed all the way in the Allegheny River beyond the concourse in right-center field. The homer also extended his hitting streak to 18 games. He’s become one of the most dependable yet unspectacular outfield bats in baseball. Rotoworld Friday, 6:31 pm
     
  • Alex Verdugo sits against left-hander on Friday
    Alex Verdugo is not in the Yankees’ starting lineup for Friday night’s battle against the Braves.

    Advice: While Verdugo started each of the team’s last two games against left-handed starters, he’ll get a breather with tough southpaw Chris Sale taking the hill for the Braves on Friday night. Verdugo is enjoying a solid season for the Bombers’, slashing .254/.309/.413 with nine homers and 41 RBI through his first 74 ballgames. Jahmai Jones will start in his place in left field and bat fifth for the Yankees on Friday evening in the Bronx. Rotoworld Friday, 1:10 pm
