Player Notes

  • Clubs homer Monday
    Profar went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies.

    Advice: Profar has hit safely in eight of 11 games in May, going 13-for-40 (.325) with three homers and 10 RBI this month. The 31-year-old is slashing .320/.402/.517 with seven long balls, 29 RBI, 23 runs scored, eight doubles and two stolen bases over 44 contests. Profar's best season in the majors was the abbreviated 2020 campaign, and he hit just nine homers with 46 RBI over 125 games last year -- he'll likely post stronger marks in 2024, but his current pace will be tough to sustain.

  • Homers in consecutive games
    Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 5-4 loss to the Rockies.

    Advice: Bogaerts has doubled his homer total for the year from two to four by going deep in each of the last two games. Prior to the power uptick, he endured an 0-for-15 slump over four contests. The veteran infielder is still battling inconsistency with a .212/.264/.318 slash line, 13 RBI, 23 runs scored, two stolen bases and six doubles through 182 plate appearances this season. He's never posted an OPS lower than .659 in a full campaign, and there's plenty of time for Bogaerts to turn things around in 2024. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:29 pm
  • Explodes for two homers, four RBI
    Bregman went 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs, a double, four total RBI, three total runs and a walk in a 9-2 victory against the Athletics on Monday.

    Advice: Bregman came into Monday looking like a shell of his former power-hitting self with just one long ball through 159 plate appearances, but he brought back reminders of his 41-homer 2019 campaign with a pair of solo blasts in the victory. The third baseman capped the big performance with a two-run double in the eighth inning, giving him a season-high four RBI and his second three-hit effort of the campaign. Bregman could be in the midst of turning around what had previously looked like a tepid season, as he's on a five-game hitting streak during which he's gone 8-for-20 (.400 average) with four extra-base hits and six RBI.

  • Picks up second steal
    Blackmon went 1-for-5 with a stolen base, one RBI and one run scored in Monday's 5-4 win over the Padres.

    Advice: Blackmon was part of the Rockies' fourth-inning rally. He drove in a run with a single, stole second and scored an Ezequiel Tovar single. Blackmon is 9-for-22 (.409) with nine RBI and four extra-base hits during his six-game hitting streak. The 37-year-old is slashing .248/.311/.380 with two steals, one home runs, 18 RBI and 17 runs scored over 132 plate appearances this season. Despite a significant drop in his hitting from last year, Blackmon's recent surge has helped him reclaim at least a share of the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:22 pm
  • Jorge Polanco leaves with hamstring tightness
    Jorge Polanco was removed from Monday’s game against the Royals with tightness in his right hamstring.

    Advice: Polanco exited the game and was replaced by Luis Urias, with Urias taking over at third and Josh Rojas moving to second. It’s a concerning development, especially for a hitter that has battled injuries over the last few years. There should be a further update on Polanco before Tuesday’s game against Kansas City.

  • Elehuris Montero knocks in three to lead Rockies
    Elehuris Montero doubled, singled and drove in three runs Monday in leading the Rockies to a 5-4 win over the Padres.

    Advice: This is big for Montero, who was on the bench in favor of Hunter Goodman the previous two days. He was hitting .156 this month, leaving him with an ugly .203/.250/.280 line for the year and putting him in danger of being DFA’d when the Rockies get Kris Bryant and Nolan Jones back from the IL. Tonight, though, will probably get him another week’s worth of starts. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:52 pm
  • Matt Carpenter drives in pair in win over Angels
    Matt Carpenter went 1-for-5 and drove in a pair of runs Monday in a win over the Angels.

    Advice: Carpenter has his first two RBI of the season. The 38-year-old plated both runs with a single in the seventh that tied the game at 4-4. Carpenter hit leadoff in this game, and while that makes him a little more intriguing than hitting near the bottom, it’s not enough to suggest him as a fantasy player in 2024.

  • Doubles, triples, drives in three
    Rosario went 2-for-4 with a double, triple, three RBI and a run scored during Monday's win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Rosario's two-out, two-run triple in the first put the Rays on the board while his run-scoring double in the eighth provided the Rays with their final margin of victory. Rosario has found a regular role as the top utility man for Tampa, batting .296 with a .312 on-base percentage, six doubles, three triples, two homers, 18 RBI, 12 runs and five stolen bases over 138 plate appearances.

  • Blasts 10th homer
    O'Neill went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk during Monday's loss to the Rays.

    Advice: O'Neill's first-inning three-run blast provided all the scoring for the Red Sox on Monday. It was the first homer since April 27 for the slumping O'Neill, who hit .333 with nine homers over his first 19 games, but had gone just 7-for-44 (.159) with six walks and 22 strikeouts over the most recent 12 game homer-less stretch prior to Monday.
