  • Jarren Duran homers, steals two bags
    Jarren Duran went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and two stolen bases against the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

    Advice: Duran’s long ball gave the Red Sox a lead and they wouldn’t let go as he continued his do-it-all season in this one. He’s pacing for about 15 homers, 40 steals, 100 runs scored, and 70 RBI in what would be a phenomenal year for the young outfielder. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:11 pm
     
  • Garrett Mitchell to stay at Triple-A for now
    Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy told reporters on Wednesday that the plan is to have Garrett Mitchell (finger) stay at Triple-A Nashville for the time being.

    Advice: The 25-year-old outfielder is ready to be activated from the injured list from a health perspective, but there’s really no spot for him on the active roster at the moment. Eventually, when his rehab window expires, he’ll need to be activated and optioned to Triple-A, where he’ll continue to play every day until he’s needed at the big-league level.

  • Steven Kwan with two more hits, goes yard
    Steven Kwan went 2-for-3 with a home run, walk, and two runs scored on Wednesday against the Mariners.

    Advice: Kwan continues what’s been an all-time start to the season. His batting average ticked back up to an unthinkable .397 and the homer was his fifth of the season. For the “batting average doesn’t matter” folks, Kwan’s OPS sits at 1.010 through nearly 45 games. Few in the league are hitting better than him right now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:09 pm
     
  • Goes deep in win
    Happ went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Giants.

    Advice: Happ has been on a heater recently, as he now has five straight two-hit performances. The outfielder has gone deep three times during the hot streak, giving him nine home runs for the season. Happ won't be able to stay this locked in forever, though fantasy managers should enjoy the production while it lasts. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:24 pm
