  • Brent Rooker goes deep as A’s fall to Mariners
    Brent Rooker socked his 10th dinger of the season on Sunday as the Athletics fell to the Mariners in Seattle.

    Advice: The 29-year-old outfielder clubbed a 411-foot (113.4 mph EV) two-run shot off of Cody Bolton in the eighth inning, pulling the A’s to within four runs at 8-4. He also singled in the ballgame, finishing the day 2-for-4. On the season, he’s hitting an impressive .292/.380/.632 with 10 homers, 27 RBI and a pair of stolen bases for good measure.

  • Homers in victory
    Tucker went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Tucker took Tigers starter Jack Flaherty deep for a two-run homer in the top of the sixth inning, giving Houston a 2-0 lead. The outfielder has now gone deep 13 times this season and five times in his last six contests. Over those six games, he's gone 5-for-20 with five home runs, seven RBI, six runs scored and a stolen base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:16 pm
  • Three hits, three RBI in win
    Meyers went 3-for-3 with three RBI in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Meyers entered the game as a pinch hitter for Trey Cabbage in the top of the seventh inning, notching an RBI single. He proceeded to add two more RBI base knocks in the eighth and ninth frames, making the most of his three at-bats in the contest. The outfielder is now batting .360 with two triples, a double, four RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base over 25 at-bats in May. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:57 pm
  • Jung Hoo Lee suffers dislocated shoulder on Sunday
    The Giants announced that Jung Hoo Lee suffered a dislocated shoulder after crashing into the outfield wall during Sunday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: Giants’ skipper Bob Melvin called it a separated shoulder during his update, but the Giants corrected it to dislocated. He’ll undergo an MRI exam on Monday to determine the severity of the issue, but it sounds like he’s going to miss substantial time and could even be shelved for the remainder of the 2024 season. It’s a brutal blow to a Giants’ outfield that has lost Michael Conforto (hamstring) and Jorge Soler (shoulder) already in recent days. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:55 pm
  • Mookie Betts collects two hits in loss to Padres
    Mookie Betts went 2-for-4 with a double as the Dodgers were shut out by the Padres on Sunday afternoon in San Diego.

    Advice: As a team, the Dodgers tallied just four hits in the contest, with Betts accounting for half of them on his own — including their lone extra-base knock. He smacked a one-out double off of Yu Darvish in the sixth inning but was left stranded there. He then singled off of Wandy Peralta with two outs in the eighth inning. The 31-year-old superstar is having another extraordinary season at the dish — slashing .339/.441/.539 with six homers, 27 RBI and eight stolen bases. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:36 pm
  • Three-run homer in loss
    Castellanos went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Castellanos took Miami starter Braxton Garrett deep for a three-run shot in the top of the first inning, giving the Phillies an early 3-0 lead. The long ball was his fourth of the season and second homer in his last three contests. Castellanos has now secured at least one hit in eight consecutive games, batting .322 with two home runs, seven RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base over 31 at-bats during that stretch.

  • Hunter Goodman goes 0-for-3 against Rangers
    Hunter Goodman went 0-for-3 before being lifted from Sunday’s game against the Rangers.

    Advice: This makes back-to-back days that Goodman, who homered Saturday, has started over Elehuris Montero at first base. Prior to that, Goodman had started just once in seven games and twice in 11 games. That the Rockies are handling one of their better prospects like this is rather baffling, but Goodman isn’t inspiring much confidence with his 2-for-21 start, even if both of his hits have been homers. Barring a very good week, he’ll probably return to Triple-A once either Nolan Jones or Kris Bryant returns. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:05 pm
  • TJ Friedl diagnosed with left thumb contusion
    The Reds announced that TJ Friedl was diagnosed with a left thumb contusion after being hit by a pitch during Sunday’s game against the Giants.

    Advice: Fortunately, X-rays came back negative on Friedl’s thumb after he was pulled from Sunday’s game. That wasn’t before he swiped a base and scored a run in the top half of the first inning though. He may wind up missing a game or two due to pain and swelling, but it sounds like Friedl should be able to avoid a return trip to the injured list. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:51 pm
  • Hunter Renfroe plates two as Royals top Angels
    Hunter Renfroe went 2-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs on Sunday afternoon, leading the Royals to a 4-2 victory over the Angels.

    Advice: Renfroe opened things up with a two-run single off of Patrick Sandoval in the fourth inning that extended the Royals’ lead to 3-0 and proved to be the difference in the ballgame. Even with his two knocks on the afternoon, the 32-year-old slugger is still hitting a woeful .153/.223/.261 with only three homers and 15 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:48 pm
