  • Goes deep for team's lone run
    Trevino went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: Trevino plated an early run for New York with his solo blast in the second inning, but the team's offense did not score again. Still, the homer continued a strong recent stretch of offense by the backstop, as he's built an eight-game hitting streak during which he's batting .423/.464/.654. The hot span hasn't moved Trevino out of a timeshare behind the plate, however -- both he and Austin Wells have played three games over New York's past six contests.

  • Swats first homer
    Nevin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday in a 3-1 victory versus the Yankees.

    Advice: Nevin's two-run blast in the third inning proved to be the winning hit, as neither team crossed the plate after that point. The long ball was his first this season and just his sixth through 375 big-league plate appearances. Nevin hasn't flashed much power in the big leagues thus far and has never stolen a base as a major leaguer, so his upside is quite limited, though he's at least put together a decent .286/.355/.375 slash line this season.

  • Reaches three times, swipes base
    Betts went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run and a stolen base against the Nationals in Thursday's 2-1 victory.

    Advice: Betts scored the decisive run in the contest by walking, swiping second base and crossing the plate on a Freddie Freeman double in the eighth inning. Betts seems to be running more frequently so far this season -- the stolen base was his sixth of the campaign through 27 contests, putting him well on pace to reach 20 steals for the first time since 2018. That has to be sweet music to his fantasy managers' ears, and Betts is paying huge dividends in other areas as well, slashing .374/.477/.636 with six homers, 21 RBI and 27 runs.

  • Goes deep in victory
    Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a 2-1 win over Washington.

    Advice: Hernandez's second-inning solo shot put the Dodgers on the board and amounted for half of the team's total output of runs in the low-scoring win. The long ball was the slugger's sixth of the campaign and his first over his past 11 contests. Hernandez has trailed off a bit of late after a strong start to his Dodgers tenure, but he still ranks second on the team and is tied for 11th in the majors with 20 RBI.

  • Smashes long ball in loss
    Kim went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run against Colorado in a loss Thursday.

    Advice: Kim's third-inning blast gave San Diego a short-lived three-run lead. The long ball was his fourth of the season and just his second extra-base hit over his past eight contests. Kim has added 17 RBI, 17 runs, seven steals and a .238/.339/.436 slash line through 119 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:12 pm

  • Slugs third homer in loss
    Profar went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, two total runs, three total RBI and a walk in a loss to the Rockies on Thursday.

    Advice: Profar plated San Diego's second run of the contest with a single in the third inning and tacked on a two-run homer in the seventh. The big performance lifted his season slash line to .295/.406/.466. Profar ranks third on the Padres with 26 hits and leads the club with 18 RBI. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:08 pm
     
  • Swipes two bags Thursday
    Doyle went 3-for-4 with three runs, a walk, an RBI and two stolen bases in Thursday's 10-9 victory over the Padres.

    Advice: Doyle was busy on the basepaths Thursday, reaching base four times and scoring thrice. All three of his hits were singles, but he advanced to second via stolen base on two instances. Doyle has four multi-hit games over his past eight contests and is now slashing an impressive .330/.371/.527 on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:05 pm
     
  • Belts big long ball
    Goodman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday in a 10-9 victory versus San Diego.

    Advice: Goodman's eighth-inning, three-run blast was enormous not only in terms of distance (it traveled an estimated 448 feet) but also in terms of impact, as it brought the Rockies to within two runs in what was to become a successful late comeback. The homer was Goodman's first hit in six at-bats since being promoted from Triple-A on Wednesday. The 2021 fourth-round draft pick had seven long balls through 91 plate appearances in the minors prior to the call-up and knocked 34 home runs over 106 minor-league contests last year, so his potential for big-league power is intriguing, especially given his home field.

  • Clubs first homer of 2024
    France went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Although France boasts a quality .266 batting average through 22 games, he's been a non-factor in the power department, waiting until his 84th plate appearance to notch his first home run of the campaign. The long ball came in the first inning off Andrew Heaney and plated Julio Rodriguez. His ISO has dropped from .116 to .088 while his strikeout rate sits at 21.8 percent after posting a K-rate lower than 18 percent in three straight seasons. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:53 pm
