  • Hitting streak up to 16
    Diaz went 3-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Diaz tagged Pirates starter Paul Skenes early, depositing the first pitch of the game off the foul pole in right field for his sixth homer of the season. He later led off the eighth with his third hit, which eventually saw pinch runner Jose Caballero cross the plate with the go-ahead run.

  • Not starting Saturday
    Burger isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Saturday's game against Seattle.

  • Goes deep again
    Santander went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Friday's loss to Houston.

    Advice: Santander knocked an RBI single in the third inning before capping off Baltimore's seven-run eighth with a two-run shot. He entered June with nine homers and a .712 OPS through 51 games. Since then, he's caught fire; Santander has ripped 11 home runs while producing a 1.090 OPS in 20 June contests. Of those 11 long balls, six have come in his last seven games. Santander is now slashing .237/.309/.515 with 34 extra-base hits and 51 RBI this season. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:50 am
     
  • Cranks homer Thursday
    Santander went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a walk in Thursday's 17-5 win over the Yankees.

    Advice: Santander has gone 8-for-25 (.320) with five homers and 11 RBI over his last six games. The outfielder is up to 19 homers on the year, with 10 of them coming in June. He's slashing .230/.304/.502 on the year while adding 48 RBI, 42 runs scored and 13 doubles over 70 contests. Santander has finished below a .260 batting average in each of the previous three seasons, so it's not unusual for him to make most of his impact with power. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:11 pm

  • Yandy Diaz homers as Rays defeat Twins in 10
    Yandy Diaz hit a two-run homer and doubled in an extra-inning loss to the Rays on Thursday.

    Advice: Diaz absolutely clobbered a two-run homer that went an estimated 439 feet to extend the Rays’ lead to 6-2 in the ninth. It turns out the Rays would need those runs, as Minnesota scored four to tie it in the bottom half of the frame. Diaz is starting to heat up again, and he’s been much better than the .264/.327/.368 slash suggests after his slow start. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:30 pm
