    • Plates two, steals base
      Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with two RBI while netting his first stolen base of the season in Saturday's 7-4 victory over the Mets.

      Advice: Goldschmidt one-hopped a two-run double off the wall as part of a four-run first inning for the Cardinals. He added an infield single, a stolen base and another run scored. The former MVP also struck out three times Saturday and has fanned at an elevated 30.1 percent so far this season. The production on the whole has ticked up over the past week, however, with Goldschmidt going 9-for-27 (.333) with one home run and four RBI in that span. Rotowire.com Saturday, 5:04 pm
       
    • Paul Goldschmidt drives in two in win over Mets
      Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored, two RBI, and a stolen base to lead the Cardinals to a 7-4 win over the Mets.

      Advice: Goldschmidt seems to be warming up at the plate. He collected two hits on Saturday for his third multi-hit game in his last five contests. Goldschmidt drove in two runs with a double in the first inning and scored on a base hit by Masyn Winn. He singled in the fifth and swiped second for his first stolen base of the season before scoring on a balk. The 36-year-old first baseman is slashing .214/.306/.296 with two homers and 11 RBI across 113 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 4:37 pm
       
    • Gets maintenance day
      Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: Turner's absence from the lineup looks to be nothing more than a routine maintenance day after the 39-year-old had started in each of the Blue Jays' last nine games. Daniel Vogelbach will fill in for Turner as Toronto's designated hitter. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:57 pm

    • Justin Turner totals two hits in loss to Royals
      Justin Turner went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday’s loss to the Royals.

      Advice: Turner singled in the third inning to drive in George Springer, upping his RBI total on the season to 12. His single ended an 0-for-10 streak and lifted his average to .310 on the season. The veteran infielder continues to serve primarily as the Blue Jays designated hitter while hitting near the middle of a potent lineup. As long as he stays hot, Turner can be counted on to produce in multiple categories for fantasy managers.

    • Lifts second homer
      Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Goldschmidt's slow start has been the cause of much consternation for St. Louis, and it's led to him batting fifth in the last two games. He's gone 3-for-7 since the drop in the order, so it looks like the change is at least having a short-term effect. The first baseman is batting a meager .195 with a .566 OPS, two homers, nine RBI and eight runs scored over 94 plate appearances. Goldschmidt's track record will give him a lot of leeway to work out of his struggles, but it's possible that the 36-year-old may be starting to feel his age as well.

    • Paul Goldschmidt hits second homer in Cards’ win
      Paul Goldschmidt went 2-for-4 with his second home run of the season on Monday in the Cardinals’ win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Goldschmidt snapped a 20-game homerless drought with a game-tying solo shot off Arizona reliever Scott McGough in the seventh inning. It was his first round-tripper since Opening Day back on March 28. The 36-year-old veteran first baseman is batting just .195 (16-for-82) with eight runs scored, two homers and nine RBI through 22 games. It’s not what you want. Rotoworld Monday, 7:37 pm
       
    • Batting fifth Sunday
      Goldschmidt is starting at first base and batting fifth Sunday against the Brewers.

      Advice: The 36-year-old has a .173/.279/.213 slash line through 20 games this season and will drop below the cleanup spot for the first time since 2013, per Rob Rains of StLSportsPage.com. Goldschmidt's track record provides plenty of reason to believe it's only matter of before he turns things around, but the move down the order is notable given his usual stability in the lineup.

    • Starting Sunday
      Joe is starting in right field and batting in the leadoff spot for Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

      Advice: Joe returns to the lineup for Sunday's contest after not starting in the first two games of the series. Joe is slashing .288/.391/.475 with two home runs and 12 RBI to start the season. Rotowire.com Apr 21, 7:54 am

    • Connor Joe blasts pinch-hit homer on Saturday
      Connor Joe went 1-for-1 with a solo homer on Saturday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Joe was on the bench for this one against the right-handed Mitch Keller. He came on as a pinch-hitter in the eighth to face the lefty Joely Rodríguez and went yard for a solo homer, his second of the season. The 31-year-old is slashing a solid .288/.391/.475 with 12 RBI across 69 plate appearances. Rotoworld Apr 20, 4:18 pm
