      McMahon went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run Sunday against the Phillies.

      Advice: McMahon popped his 10th home run of the season in the first inning, and half of those long balls have come in his last 10 starts. In that span, he's scored 10 runs and driven in 11 while hitting .268. McMahon has also cut his strikeout rate to 24.9 percent across 225 plate appearances, down 3.5 percentage points from his career clip. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:01 am

    • Ryan McMahon homers in win over Phillies
      Ryan McMahon went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in a win over the Phillies on Sunday.

      Advice: McMahon is having one of the least-talked-about strong seasons of any player in baseball. The 29-year-old is slashing .294/.377/.500 with 10 home runs and 32 RBI on the year. He has always been an underrated but steady asset in fantasy leagues and it seems like he’s emerging as a true asset in 2024. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:35 pm

    • Getting Sunday off
      Ortiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Boston.

      Advice: Ortiz will get a breather after starting the last eight games at third base, going 9-for-29 with six RBI and one home run in that stretch. Fresh off getting called up from Triple-A Nashville, Oliver Dunn will get the start at third base and bat eighth in place of Ortiz. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:11 am

    • Brendan Donovan plates go-ahead run in eighth
      Brendan Donovan laced a go-ahead two-run single into left field in the eighth inning on Saturday night, propelling the Cardinals to a 7-6 victory over the Cubs.

      Advice: The Cardinals entered the eighth inning trailing 4-3, but that was erased on an RBI single by Matt Carpenter. Donovan then followed with a two-run single to give the Cardinals the lead, then he scored on an RBI triple off the bat of Lars Nootbaar. Donovan finished the night 2-for-4 with a pair of runs scored and is now hitting .233/.311/.368 with four homers and 25 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Saturday, 7:18 pm

    • Ryan McMahon dealing with back soreness
      Ryan McMahon is dealing with back soreness.

      Advice: McMahon was held out of the lineup Friday’s contest against the Phillies, but was able to come off the bench as a pinch-hitter, due to back soreness. The 29-year-old had played in 49 consecutive contests to open the year, batting .298 with nine homers and 30 RBI. Rotoworld Saturday, 12:45 pm

    • Drives in four
      Gonzales went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, four RBI and a run scored Friday against Atlanta.

      Advice: Gonzales has swung the bat well since being recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis, and he is currently in the midst of a five-game hitting streak. In that span, he's gone 8-for-20 with seven RBI and three runs scored. He's been locked into the fifth spot in the order and should be the Pirates' everyday second baseman for the foreseeable future.

    • Nick Gonzales with four RBI in win
      Nick Gonzales went 2-for-3 with a double, walk, four RBI, and run scored in a win against the Braves on Friday.

      Advice: Gonzales has been an RBI machine with 13 in 13 starts since being called up on May 10th along with five extra-base hits. His batted ball metrics match the power output thus far despite his lack of plate discipline. The Pirates offense has looked much better with him in the lineup and he should remain a fixture for them at second base while he hits like this. Rotoworld Friday, 6:41 pm

    • Idle against southpaw
      McMahon isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting McMahon will avoid a matchup with lefty Cristopher Sanchez on Friday. Alan Trejo will start at third base and bat ninth. McMahon has homered in three of his last four games and has scored a run in eight straight outings. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:49 pm

    • Homers in third straight
      McMahon went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over Oakland.

      Advice: McMahon went hitless in his first four at-bats before adding a single in the ninth and a two-run homer in the top of the 12th, which would end up being the game winner. It marked the third baseman's third consecutive game with a home run, and he's now up to five long balls in May to go along with 11 RBI and 12 runs scored. McMahon has also hit safely in 10 straight games. Rotowire.com Thursday, 4:29 am
