  • Nolan Schanuel goes 0-for-6 from leadoff spot
    Nolan Schanuel went 0-for-6 with three strikeouts from the leadoff spot Friday against the Angels.

    Advice: We’re not sure what Schanuel is doing batting leadoff for the Angels at this point; yes, his approach is good, but he’s just not a major league hitter and he’s also a liability when he does reach base. It seems like the Angels ought to give Zach Neto an opportunity at the top of the order. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:12 pm
  • Clubs fifth homer
    Burleson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBi in Friday's 10-6 win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Burleson popped a go-ahead solo shot in the fourth inning and added an RBI single in the seventh. The 25-year-old has multiple hits in three straight games, which is only strengthening his claim for playing time between designated hitter, the corner outfield spots and first base. Burleson is up to five homers, 17 RBI, nine runs scored, one stolen base and a .286/.316/.473 slash line through 117 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:37 pm
  • Three hits in win
    Perez went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: Perez opened the scoring with an RBI single in the first inning and got one base three more times in Friday's victory. The veteran catcher is batting .294 (15-for-51) with seven extra-base hits and eight RBI contests in May. That's actually down from his overall numbers -- Perez is slashing a stellar .335/.403/.557 with eight home runs, 34 RBI, 18 runs scored and 11 doubles over 176 plate appearances. He last hit above .300 for a full season in the abbreviated 2020 campaign, so there is a high risk that he cools off eventually in 2024, but he's been excellent over the first quarter of the season.

  • Alex Kirilloff homers in loss
    Alex Kirilloff goes 1-for-3 with a solo home run and walk on Friday against the Guardians.

    Advice: Kirilloff has had yet another disappointing season, but this home run is a welcome sign of life. Still, his poor plate discipline metrics and middling power doesn’t instill much confidence moving forward. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:42 pm
  • Tallies three hits
    Cronenworth went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Friday's win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Cronenworth knocked three singles Friday night to collect his fourth three-hit performance of 2024. After starting the campaign hitting .263 (30-for-114) through April 30, the Padres first baseman has kicked into a higher gear in May, starting the month hitting .302 (16-for-53). Overall, Cronenworth is slashing .275/.342/.473 with seven homers and 28 RBI over 190 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:14 pm
  • Pops fourth homer
    Fry went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer in Friday's win over the Twins.

    Advice: Fry put Cleveland ahead with his 364-foot, two-run home run in the sixth inning off reliever Steven Okert. The 28-year-old utility man has been especially hot since the calendar turned to May, hitting .366 (11-for-30) this month. Over 95 plate appearances this season, Fry is slashing .333/.453/.560 with four homers, 15 runs scored and 14 RBI. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:46 pm

  • Alec Bohm drives in run as Phillies beat Nationals
    Alec Bohm clubbed an RBI double on Friday as the Phillies defeated the Nationals in Philadelphia.

    Advice: Bohm opened the scoring in the home half of the first inning, plating J.T. Realmuto with his run-scoring double off of Nationals’ right-hander Jake irvin. That would be his only hit in four at-bats on the night. For the season, the 27-year-old slugger is now hitting a robust .331/.397/.521 with four long balls, 37 RBI and a pair of stolen bases.
