  • Lowe homers in return to lineup Saturday
    Brandon Lowe went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk against the Nationals on Saturday.



    Advice: Lowe’s home run was his sixth of the season. It was certainly good to see him do something productive in his first game back in the Rays’ lineup since breaking his pinkie toe. With Lowe, you have to worry about when the next injury might come. He’s a decent power option in the middle infield as long as he’s playing. Lowe has a .218 average .756 OPS with 23 RBI on the season.

  • Michael Busch hits two-run homer in win over MIL
    Michael Busch hit a two-run homer to help the Cubs to a win over the Brewers on Saturday.

    Advice: Busch gave the Cubs a two-run lead in the first inning with a blast off Tobias Myers in the first inning. The 26-year-old has homered 10 times thus far in 2024, but only two of those roundtrippers have come in the month of June. Still, it’s been a quality first full year of MLB action for Busch thus far with an .809 OPS through 237 at-bats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:47 pm

    Advice: Jones took Jonathan Cannon deep for a two-run shot in the fifth inning. It was only his third home run of the season as he’s struggled to a .192/.298/.323 slash line, striking out 33.1 percent of the time across 151 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:53 pm
     
  • Jose Iglesias gets nod at second base on Saturday
    Jose Iglesias is at second base and batting eighth for Saturday’s game against the Astros.

    Advice: Iglesias is becoming a bit of a cult hero in New York at the moment, and his on-field performance hasn’t been too shabby either. The 34-year-old journeyman infielder is batting .406 (13-for-32) since June 1. He’s pretty irrelevant for fantasy purposes, but his presence has injected some badly-needed life into the Mets clubhouse. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:00 am
     
  • Brandon Lowe returns to Saturday’s lineup vs. Nats
    Brandon Lowe (toe) has returned to the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Nationals.

Lowe will wear a guard over his toe Saturday in his first start since June 22, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports. For the month of June, Lowe is slashing .254/.324/.476 with four home runs and 14 RBI over 63 at-bats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:26 am
