  • Swipes two bags
    Arozarena went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run and two stolen bases Wednesday against the Twins.

    Advice: Arozarena extended his hitting streak to a modest five games with the performance. He's been very productive in that span, swatting two homers while also swiping two bags, scoring five runs and driving in five. Even with the encouraging stretch, Arozarena has only a .293 wOBA and .185 batting average on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:01 pm
     
  • Randy Arozarena swipes two bases as Rays top Twins
    Randy Arozarena singled, doubled, walked, was hit by a pitch, scored a run and stole a pair of bases on Wednesday night, leading the Rays to a 3-2 victory over the Twins in 10 innings.

    Advice: After striking out in his first at-bat on the night, Arozarena reached base in each of his final four plate appearances. He led off the fourth inning with a double, but the Rays couldn’t cash him in. He then singled and swiped second base with two outs in the sixth inning, but was left stranded there. He then led off the eighth inning with a walk but was stranded at third base. Arozarena was plunked leading off the 10th inning, he swiped second base and scored the go-ahead run on a throwing error by Royce Lewis. With his two-hit attack, the 29-year-old outfielder is now hitting .185/.299/.345 to go along with 10 homers, 25 RBI and nine stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:03 pm
     
  • Jake Meyers doubles twice in win vs. White Sox
    Jake Meyers went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored in the Astros 4-1 win over the White Sox on Wednesday.

    Advice: Meyers doubled in the sixth and came around to score on a base hit by César Salazar.

  • Goes yard again versus Texas
    Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a second run scored in Tuesday's win over the Rangers.

    Advice: The veteran outfielder took Michael Lorenzen deep in the sixth inning, helping the Mets roar back from an early 6-2 deficit. Nimmo has gone yard in back-to-back games, and he's slashing .328/.381/.517 over 14 contests in June as he climbs out of an early-season hole. Despite the surge, his .766 OPS so far in 2024 would be Nimmo's lowest mark since his 32-game big-league debut in 2016. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:49 am
     
  • Swipes eighth bag
    Varsho went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Getting the start in center field and hitting cleanup, Varsho pilfered his third bag in the last 10 games and his eighth of the season in nine attempts. The 27-year-old sports a lopsided .216/.296/.446 slash line on the season with 11 homers, 35 RBI and 40 runs in 69 contests, but his .742 OPS still provides a significant improvement on the Blue Jays' other option in center field, Kevin Kiermaier (.545 OPS).

  • Homers again Tuesday
    Schwarber went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over San Diego.

    Advice: Schwarber cut the Phillies' lead to 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth inning, launching a solo shot off Wandy Peralta. It's Schwarber's 17th homer this season and his third in his last two games. He's boosted his slash line to .257/.377/.468 with 48 RBI, 53 runs scored and four steals across 329 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:25 am
     
  • Clobbers three-run homer
    Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Arozarena went 32 days between homers, but has now launched two long balls in his last three games. On Tuesday, Arozarena tagged Pablo Lopez for a three-run home run in the first inning, plating Brandon Lowe and Isaac Paredes. The long ball was Arozarena's 10th of the season, but he's still batting .179 with a 25.5-percent strikeout rate. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:25 am
     
  • Randy Arozarena homers Tuesday in loss to Twins
    Randy Arozarena hit a three-run homer on Tuesday in the Rays’ loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Arozarena took Twins ace Pablo López deep with two outs in the opening frame for his 10th big fly of the season. The 29-year-old has started to show some signs of life lately, batting .273 (12-for-44) with two homers over his last 15 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:16 am
     
  • Jake Meyers goes 0-for-3 in loss to White Sox
    Jake Meyers went 0-for-3 in the loss to the White Sox on Tuesday.

    Advice: It’s a fourth straight hitless game for Meyers, who is in a 10-for-65 slump that has dropped his OPS from .898 to .713. The good news for Meyers is that with José Abreu gone and Chas McCormick still in the doghouse, there isn’t much of a playing time crunch in Houston right now. That’ll change if McCormick picks it up or maybe if Joey Loperfido is given a chance later this month. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:04 pm
