  • Two hits in win
    Brennan went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Wednesday's win over the Astros.

    Advice: Brennan got ahead in the count 2-0 to lead off the fifth inning before crushing a hanging four-seamer from Justin Verlander into the stands in right field for his fourth home run of the season. The outfielder would later add a single on the night to give him his sixth multi-hit game of the campaign, with four of those performances coming over his last eight contests. He also has six extra-base hits over that eight-game stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 4:40 am

  • Steals fourth bag
    Palacios went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base Wednesday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Palacios was the lone offensive bright spot for the Rays on Wednesday, and he now has three multi-hit efforts in his last five starts. He also stole his third base in that span Wednesday, bringing his total to four on the season. Palacios has a large-side platoon role in right field and has maintained an impressive 163 wRC+ and .395 wOBA across 87 plate appearances on the campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:29 pm
     
  • Swipes fifth bag
    Abreu went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-2 win against the Giants.

    Advice: Abreu stole a base in three straight games between April 15 and April 18, but he hadn't notched any thefts over his subsequent 10 contests coming into Wednesday. The 24-year-old outfielder continues to cement his place in the starting lineup, as he's slashing .316/.395/.519 with two homers, 12 RBI, 14 runs and five thefts on the campaign. Abreu began the campaign as Boston's fourth outfielder but has since emerged as the team's everyday right fielder and cleanup hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:25 pm

  • Andy Pages slugs two-run homer in win Wednesday
    Andy Pages went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer on Wednesday in an 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Pages got the scoring started for the Dodgers in the second inning, blasting a towering two-run homer off Jordan Montgomery. The 23-year-old outfielder has impressed in his major league debut, hitting .291/.317/.545 with three homers, 12 runs scored, and 10 RBI across 60 plate appearances. There were questions regarding his hit tool, but he’s posted just a 21.7 percent strikeout rate, supporting his early production. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:35 pm
     
  • Cut by Halos
    The Angels released Hicks on Wednesday.

    Advice: After being DFA'd by the Angels on Monday, Hicks will now enter the open market and attempt to latch on with another organization. The 34-year-old outfielder slashed .140/.222/.193 across 63 plate appearances with Los Angeles, though he figures to have little trouble securing at least a minor-league deal with a team in need of organizational depth.

  • Will Brennan goes yard in win over Astros
    Will Brennan went 2-for-4 with a solo homer against the Astros on Wednesday.

    Advice: Brennan broke a scoreless game in the fifth inning with a leadoff homer off Justin Verlander to put the Guardians on the board. He added a base hit in the ninth for his second hit of the day. The 26-year-old outfielder is up to four homers while hitting .228/.279/.430 with 13 runs scored and 11 RBI across 86 plate appearances. Brennan is a solid stream in deep leagues against right-handed pitching. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:02 pm

    Advice: Castro wound up a homer shy of a cycle Wednesday while recording his fifth multi-hit game during his current eight-game hitting streak. He's gone 16-for-35 (.457) over the course of the streak, boosting his slash line to .270/.339/.450 through 30 games this year. The 27-year-old Castro added two homers, 13 runs scored, 12 RBI and three stolen bases while serving as the Twins' primary third baseman in the absence of Royce Lewis (quadriceps).

  • Alex Call drives in only run in Nats win over Rangers
    Alex Call went 1-for-3 with one RBI in a 1-0 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Call got the start in right field with a left-hander on the mound for the Rangers. It was Call’s third start since coming up for the injured Joey Gallo. With a runner in scoring position in the second inning, he knocked a base hit to drive in the only run of the game. The 29-year-old outfielder is 4-for-9 at the plate and should continue to get his playing time on a short-side platoon. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:28 pm

  • Jarren Duran reaches three times in win Wednesday
    Jarren Duran smacked an RBI triple, scored a run and drew a pair of walks as the Red Sox triumphed over the Giants on Wednesday evening at Fenway Park.

    Advice: Duran worked a walk off of Daulton Jefferies in the third inning and came around to score the go-ahead run on an RBI ground out off the bat of Rob Refsnyder. He then plated a run of his own with a two-out RBI triple that chased Jefferies in the fourth inning. He has done a nice job atop the Red Sox’ lineup to begin the season, slashing .269/.347/.400 with one homer, 15 RBI and nine stolen bases. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:09 pm
