    • Brent Rooker drives in pair in win over Houston
      Brent Rooker drove in a pair of runs in a win Saturday over the Astros.

      Advice: Rooker gave the A’s a 2-0 lead with a double to scored a pair in the second inning. The 29-year-old slugger has already driven in 34 runs, and he’s currently on a triple-digit pace. Rooker is one of the few Oakland players that carries any sort of fantasy upside for the remainder of 2024. Rotoworld Today, 3:38 pm

    • Chris Paddack pitches well in no-decision vs. Rangers
      Chris Paddack allowed two runs with three strikeouts over five innings in a no-decision against the Rangers on Saturday.

      Advice: Paddack put together a solid start against the Rangers, holding them to two runs over five innings to keep the Twins in the game. He worked through three scoreless innings before Adolis García doubled in a run in the fourth. Ezequiel Duran took Paddack deep for a solo homer in the fifth to give Texas the lead. The 28-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 4.39 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, and a 50/10 K/BB ratio across 55 1/3 innings. He’ll take on the Royals in Minnesota on Thursday. Rotoworld Today, 2:09 pm

    • Getting breather Saturday
      Diaz isn't in the Rays' lineup Saturday against the Royals.

      Advice: Diaz will get a day off Saturday after going 1-for-4 during a loss in Friday's series opener. His absence will allow Jonathan Aranda to start at first base, moving Isaac Paredes into the DH spot while Amed Rosario starts at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 12:47 pm

    • Takes a seat Saturday
      Langeliers is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Astros.

      Advice: Langeliers started in the series opener Friday, going 1-for-4. With Houston sending out right-hander Spencer Arrighetti, Oakland will start lefty-hitting Kyle McCann behind the dish Saturday. Langeliers is slashing .266/.347/.578 with four home runs and 13 RBI in May. Rotowire.com Today, 11:53 am
       
    • Belts solo shot Friday
      Smith went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Reds on Friday.

      Advice: Smith gave the Dodgers a two-run lead with his solo shot in the top of the fifth inning, but the advantage was short-lived, as Cincinnati plated six runs in the bottom of the frame. The All-Star catcher has batted just 3-for-19 over his past six games, though all three of the hits have gone for extra bases, including two that have left the yard. Smith is sporting a solid .298/.368/.482 slash line over 193 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:49 am
       
    • Yandy Díaz getting day off Saturday vs. Royals
      Yandy Díaz is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Royals.

      Advice: Díaz hasn’t been able to replicate last year’s form that fueled a career-best 22 homer explosion, but the plate skills have remained relatively stable at their usual near-elite levels. The 32-year-old’s barrel percentage has slipped from 9.5 percent last year to a lackluster 4.6 mark this season, which has led to a steep drop off in power. Rotoworld Today, 9:23 am

    • Report: Nathan Eovaldi unlikely to return Sunday
      Jeff Wilson of Rangers Today reports Nathan Eovaldi (groin) is unlikely to return this weekend.

      Advice: Eovaldi is progressing towards a return from the injured list, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll return this weekend, as the Rangers are most likely going to roll with a bullpen game for Sunday’s series finale against the Twins. There should be some additional clarity on his return timetable at some point this weekend. Rotoworld Today, 6:55 am
       
    • Smacks 13th homer
      Naylor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

      Advice: Naylor entered Friday having gone 2-for-21 (.095) with five strikeouts over his last six contests. He snapped his power drought with a fourth-inning blast off Angels starter Patrick Sandoval. Naylor was one of the Guardians' most consistent hitters in April, but he's tailed off in May. He's slashing .247/.337/.517 with 13 homers, 35 RBI, 27 runs scored and three stolen bases over 202 plate appearances overall. Naylor occupies a spot in the heart of the lineup, giving him a solid floor for run production even when he's scuffling. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:42 pm
       
    • Three hits in win
      Altuve went 3-for-5 with one run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Athletics.

      Advice: Altuve went 0-for-9 over his previous two games, which marked the first time he'd been held hitless in consecutive contests all year. Friday's effort was his seventh three-hit effort of the campaign. The second baseman's consistency atop the Astros' order is impressive, though he hadn't produced a multi-hit effort since May 5. The 34-year-old is slashing .298/.354/.476 with nine home runs, 18 RBI, 33 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 50 games this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:09 pm
