  • Matt Olson slugs solo homer against Cubs
    Matt Olson went 2-for-5 with a solo homer against the Cubs on Wednesday.

    Advice: Olson is having a much better month at the plate after a cold start in April, with multiple hits in five of his last nine games. He sent one of the fence in this one, taking Jose Cuas deep for a solo homer in the seventh inning. The 30-year-old slugger is hitting .228/.325/.415 with seven homers and 26 RBI across 197 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 7:09 pm
  • LaMonte Wade Jr. reaches six times in victory
    LaMonte Wade Jr. had an impressive night at the dish in Wednesday’s victory over the Pirates, going 3-for-3 with three singles, three walks, a pair of runs scored and an RBI.

    Advice: The 30-year-old outfielder led off the sixth inning with a single and rode home on Matt Chapman’s two-run blast. He then delivered the biggest hit of the game, smacking a game-tying two-out RBI single off of Colin Holderman in the ninth inning. With his three-hit attack, Wade is now hitting .336/.484/.431 with a pair of homers, 16 RBI and a stolen base. Rotoworld Today, 7:06 pm
  • Luis Arraez blasts first home run to power Padres
    Luis Arraez blasted his first home run of the 2024 season on Wednesday, powering the Padres to a 7-3 victory over the Reds in Cincinnati.

    Advice: Arraez started off the game with a bang on Wednesday, crushing a leadoff 374-foot (96.5 mph EV) blast off of Nick Martinez to give the Padres an early 1-0 lead. He also singled in the third inning and smacked a run-scoring single off of Brent Suter in the sixth inning that extended the Padres’ lead to 7-1. He tacked on another single in the ninth inning just for good measure. With his four-hit attack, the 27-year-old is now slashing .330/.373/.408 with a homer and 11 RBI. Rotoworld Today, 5:54 pm

  • Jeimer Candelario goes deep in loss to Padres
    Jeimer Candelario slugged his fifth home run of the season on Wednesday, but it wasn’t enough to power the Reds past the Padres.

    Advice: Candelario got the Reds on the board in the home half of the first inning with a 387-foot (104.9 mph EV) solo shot off of Michael King. He also smacked a two-out single in the sixth inning and scored on a two-run double by Tyler Stephenson. He finished the night 2-for-4 and is now hitting .223/.289/.401 with five long balls and 18 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Today, 5:54 pm
  • Hitting bench Wednesday
    Cave is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Though he'll hit the bench Wednesday against right-hander Mitch Spence, the lefty-hitting Cave could still be included in the lineup versus righties more often than not, at least until Nolan Jones (back) returns from the injured list. Cave looked to be at risk of losing out on playing time when Kris Bryant was activated Tuesday, but Cave started in right field in the Rockies' series-opening loss and went 1-for-4 to extend his hitting streak to seven games. Rather than Cave, Elehuris Montero has been the main loser thus far since Bryant's return, as Montero has sat out twice in a row. Rotowire.com Today, 4:00 pm

  • Sitting in second straight
    Montero is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Kris Bryant will make a second straight start at first base since his return from the injured list Tuesday, with Montero hitting the bench for both contests. The 25-year-old could still see regular playing time against left-handed pitching, but Montero looks like he'll be the odd man out of the lineup versus righties for now. Despite seeing everyday playing time for most of the season, Montero has disappointed with an underwhelming .582 OPS through 153 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:57 pm
  • Sitting against southpaw
    Busch is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: With a tough southpaw in Max Fried on the mound for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Busch will retreat to the bench. Patrick Wisdom will replace Busch at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 3:43 pm

  • Homers Wednesday
    Meneses went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Minnesota.

    Advice: Menses made things interesting in the ninth inning Wednesday, launching a solo shot off Jhoan Duran to lead off the frame. The 32-year-old Meneses had gotten off to a slow start this year, though he's now 6-for-17 with a pair of extra-base hits in his last three contests. Overall, he's slashing .234/.299/.299 with two homers, 24 RBI and nine runs scored through 43 games on the campaign. Rotowire.com Today, 2:35 pm

  • Joey Meneses goes 2-for-4, homers in ninth
    Joey Meneses went 2-for-4 and homered against the Twins on Wednesday.

    Advice: The homer brought the Nationals to within one run against Jhoan Durán in the ninth. Meneses wound up 5-for-12 with a couple of extra-base hits in the series against the Twins. That probably doesn’t quite rate as a hot streak just yet, but his current .598 OPS puts him at his high mark since late April. Rotoworld Today, 1:36 pm
