  • Nick Castellanos delivers walk-off hit vs. Brewers
    Nick Castellanos delivered a game-winning single in the 10th inning on Tuesday, powering the Phillies to a 2-1 walk-off victory over the Brewers.

    Advice: Castellanos snapped a 1-1 stalemate in extra-innings with a walk-off single to right field off Brewers reliever Joel Payamps. It was his lone hit in three at-bats, although he did draw a pair of walks in the extra-inning marathon. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
     
  • 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 his body of work early in the season, when he hit .324/.435/.563 with 18 RBI over his first 20 games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:15 am

  • 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

  • Continues hot hitting
    Profar went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Friday's 11-8 victory versus the Royals.

    Advice: Profar plated a run with a single in the sixth inning and added another RBI knock in the Padres' nine-run eighth. The veteran is working on a modest four-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 7-for-15 with a home run and five RBI. Profar's .330 batting average this season is second in the majors behind only teammate Luis Arraez (.342). Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:10 am
     
  • Three hits, home run in win
    Castellanos went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double and a second run scored in Wednesday's 6-1 win over San Francisco.

    Advice: Castellanos highlighted a three-hit day with a two-run homer off Kyle Harrison in the fifth inning, extending Philadelphia's lead to 4-0. It's just the second multi-hit game for Castellanos in his last nine contests -- he'd been stuck in a 5-for-32 slump prior to Wednesday. Overall, the 32-year-old outfielder is slashing .208/.271/.333 with seven homers, 28 runs scored and 24 RBI through 236 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 5:16 pm
     
  • Nick Castellanos has three hits, homers in win
    Nick Castellanos went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer on Wednesday in the Phillies’ win over the Giants.

    Advice: Castellanos connected on a fifth-inning offering from Giants lefty Kyle Harrison, sending his seventh round-tripper of the season out to left-center field at spacious Oracle Park. The 32-year-old veteran outfielder got off to a slow start this season at the dish, but has heated up of late with three homers over his last seven contests. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:26 pm
     
  • Spencer Steer goes 0-for-4 against Cardinals
    Spencer Steer went 0-for-4 in Wednesday’s loss to the Cardinals, dropping his average to .221.

    Advice: Steer is hitting .190/.304/.354 this month. His exit velocity numbers and xBA/xSLG stats are all pretty much the same as last year, so it seems likely that he’ll rebound, hopefully in short order. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:40 pm

  • Three RBI in Tuesday's win
    Profar went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and three RBI in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Profar was the main source of offense for the Padres in this one. He got his night started on the right foot with a two-run blast to center in the first inning and then added on with an RBI single in the fifth. Tuesday was his fifth game this season with three or more RBI, and he remains top five in baseball in both batting average (.323) and on-base percentage (.419). Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:12 am
     
  • Jurickson Profar homers, knocks in three runs
    Jurickson Profar had a two-run homer and an RBI single to drive in three of the Padres’ four runs Tuesday against the Marlins.

    Advice: We’re still not sure what’s gotten into Profar, but he’s hitting the ball harder than ever and he’s currently boasting a .354 BABIP that’s nearly 90 points better than his career mark. He has to fade some from here, but this is the best he’s ever looked at the plate. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:13 pm
