  • Settling into groove at plate
    Steer went 3-for-5 with two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 13-3 win over Colorado.

    Advice: After a rough May in which he posted a .176 average and .629 OPS, Steer has gotten off to a strong start to June. He's delivered multiple hits in all three games on the month, going 8-for-14. Steer's recent form is reminiscent of early in the season, when he hit .324/.435/.563 with 18 RBI over his first 20 games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:15 am

  • Joins hit parade in Colorado
    Stephenson went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 13-3 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: The Reds busted out in a big way in Colorado, setting new season highs in hits and runs. Stephenson's teammates did most of the damage before the catcher finished the rout with a two-run homer in the ninth inning. It was his sixth home run of the season and first in 13 games.

  • Swipes bag Monday
    Herrera went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 7-4 loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Herrera's two steals this year have come over his last eight games. The catcher has gone 8-for-31 (.258) in that span, but he has just two extra-base hits, one RBI and one run scored. For the season, he's batting .269 with a .691 OPS, three home runs, three doubles, 16 RBI and 15 runs scored over 150 plate appearances. While there hasn't been a lot of power in his bat, Herrera has hit well enough to maintain the starting job over Pedro Pages while Willson Contreras (forearm) remains out.

  • Homers twice in loss
    Gorman went 2-for-3 with two solo home runs in a 7-4 loss to the Astros on Monday.

    Advice: Gorman hit solo home runs off Justin Verlander in the first and fifth innings and added a walk in the third. Gorman has been on an absolute binge in his past 10 games, tallying five multi-hit efforts, six home runs and 12 RBI since May 21. On the season, Gorman is now slashing .230/.318/.494 and leads all second basemen in home runs with 13. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:01 pm
     
  • Steer has three-hit game in win Monday
    Spencer Steer went 3-for-5 with a run scored and two RBI against the Rockies on Monday.

    Advice: Steer is up to 37 RBI in 58 games this season. He’s only hitting .243, but his .282 BABIP is a little lower than his career .302 BABIP. He should improve in that area and with 11 steals already he’s on pace to blow by his total of 15 steals from last year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:57 pm

  • Feltner shelled in loss Monday
    Ryan Feltner allowed eight runs in 4 1/3 innings and took the loss against the Red on Monday.

    Advice: Felter gave up 10 hits, walked none and struck out three. He’s made seven starts on the road compared to just five at Coors Field, but he has an ERA over 5.00 no matter where he pitches. On a last place Rockies team, that’s translated to only one win for Feltner. He’s off the fantasy radar. The 27-year-old right-hander will face the Cardinals on the road this weekend.

  • Gorman blasts two home runs Monday
    Nolan Gorman went 2-for-3 with a walk and two solo home runs against the Astros on Monday.

    Advice: The two home runs give Gorman 13 on the season. He’s now hit three home runs in his last two games. Gorman isn’t going to provide a good average. He’s hitting .230 and his career average is .230. Gorman can hit the stuffing out of the ball, though. He had 27 home runs in 119 games last year and is on pace to push for 30 home runs this year.

  • Crushed by Reds
    Feltner (1-5) yielded eight runs on 10 hits over 4.1 innings Monday, striking out three and taking a loss against the Reds.

    Advice: Feltner began his start with a scoreless first inning, but that was the only positive in what became a long night for Colorado's pitching staff. The Reds piled eight runs on Feltner, including back-to-back three-run innings in the second and third. He was knocked from the game after 4.1 frames for the second straight start and saw his ERA jump to 6.22 through 63.2 innings. Since the start of May, he's given up at least five runs in four of his six starts. Feltner's next outing is projected to be in St. Louis. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:30 pm
     
  • Notches 10th save
    Alvarado picked up the save in Monday's 3-1 win over Milwaukee, striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning. He did not allow a baserunner.

    Advice: Alvarado picked up his 10th save of the season, his first since May 21. The southpaw blew his first save of the season May 24 in Coors Field, but he has otherwise pitched well since his last save, recording a 1.50 ERA with six strikeouts and two holds over six innings of work.
