  • Jake Cronenworth drives home four vs. D-Backs
    Jake Cronenworth drove in four runs while homering in a 13-1 rout of the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Advice: Cronenworth annihilated a Logan Allen pitch in the fourth inning to extend the Padres’ lead to 7-0. The infielder also singled home a run an inning later to give him his fourth RBI of the game and 44th of the season. Cronenworth has scuffled at the plate as of late, but the metrics suggest he’s due for more games like this over the summer. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:09 pm
     
  • Ends power drought
    Cronenworth went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run, an RBI single and an additional run scored in Saturday's 13-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Cronenworth's fourth-inning blast turned the game into a rout, and he tacked on one more RBI in the fifth. The infielder has hit well lately, going 10-for-38 (.263) with nine RBI and four extra-base hits over his last nine games, though his homer Saturday was his first since May 19. On the year, he's slashing .261/.322/.446 with nine homers, 44 RBI, 27 runs scored, 15 doubles, two triples and one stolen base over 64 contests. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:39 pm
     
  • Sitting versus southpaw
    Wisely isn't in the Giants' lineup for Saturday's game against Texas.

    Advice: With lefty Andrew Heaney set to toe the slab for the Rangers, the lefty-hitting Wisely will step out of the lineup. Tyler Fitzgerald will take over at shortstop, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 12:31 pm

  • Sitting versus lefty
    Garcia is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest versus Atlanta.

    Advice: With southpaw Chris Sale drawing the start for Atlanta, the left-handed hitting Garcia will begin Friday's festivities on the bench. Ildemaro Vargas will start at second base for the Nationals. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:42 pm
     
  • Idle against lefty
    Wisely is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Wisely will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Giants face off against another southpaw (Jordan Montgomery). Tyler Fitzgerald will get the nod at shortstop Wednesday, but Wisely should see the majority of the starts at the position while Nick Ahmed (wrist) remains on the injured list.

  • Swats sixth homer
    Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: The veteran shortstop took Chase Anderson deep in the seventh inning, giving Atlanta an insurance run in an 8-3 victory. It was only Arcia's third multi-hit performance in his last 24 games, and while he's far from the biggest name to post disappointing numbers so far for the reigning NL East champs, on the season he's slashing .235/.257/.385 with six homers and 21 RBI in 58 contests.

  • Orlando Arcia homers in win over Boston
    Orlando Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.

    Advice: The home run was Arcia’s sixth of the year, and he’s now up to 21 RBI as well. Both of Arcia’s hits were over 100 mph, but he’s slashing just .235/.257/.385 on the year. Still, he plays pretty much every day for a lineup that still has the potential to put up runs in bunches. That makes him worthy of a roster spot in most fantasy leagues.

  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Garcia is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Garcia started the previous four games but will sit Tuesday as lefty David Peterson takes the mound for the Mets. Ildemaro Vargas will start at the keystone and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:52 pm
     
  • Luis García Jr. collects two hits in loss Saturday
    Luis García Jr. went 2-for-4 with a run scored against the Guardians on Saturday.

    Advice: García Jr. knocked a base hit to lead off the second inning. He singled once again in the fourth and scored on a hit by Jesse Winker. The 24-year-old second baseman is on pace for a career year, hitting .279/.319/.424 with five homers, 26 RBI, and eight steals across 182 plate appearances. Rotoworld Jun 1, 3:48 pm
