    McCann went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two walks and one run scored in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Rockies.

    Advice: McCann had gone just 3-for-18 over his previous eight contests before a breakout game Thursday. The backup catcher has generally played well in 2024, posting a .340/.431/.580 slash line over 58 plate appearances. He's added three home runs, three doubles, eight RBI and nine runs scored, but the 26-year-old remains firmly behind Shea Langeliers on the depth chart. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:08 pm
     
  • Clutch hit in season debut
    Cameron went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 10-9 extra-innings win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Cameron's blast was the reason the game went to extras, as he tied it at 4-4 in the bottom of the ninth inning. The outfielder earned a promotion from Triple-A Las Vegas by slashing .299/.418/.569 over 41 contests, and it appears he'll compete for playing time in the corner outfield initially. Cameron last played in the majors in 2022, seeing action in 21 games for the Tigers. His speed is likely to be more prominent than his power, though he'll need to show he can hit major-league pitching at all to get regular reps. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:06 pm
     
  • Registers steal
    Happ went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Thursday's 3-0 loss to Atlanta.

    Advice: Happ is batting just .221 (15-for-68) in May, but he's also recorded both of his steals for the year this month. The veteran outfielder has a career-worst .652 OPS and .218 batting average over 46 contests while adding two home runs, 14 RBI and 23 runs scored. While he's struggling to find a rhythm at the plate, Happ continues to hold down a starting job in left field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:54 pm
     
  • Records third steal
    Albies went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Albies is hitting well, going 11-for-40 (.275) over his last 10 games, though he has just one extra-base hit, a double, in that span. The second baseman is slashing .269/.330/.388 with three home runs, three steals, 23 RBI, 22 runs scored and 10 doubles over 39 contests on the year. He's locked into a starting role, but the lack of counting stats is a small concern for a player that has hit 20-plus homers four times in the last six years. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:40 pm
     
  • Perez knocks in Tigers lone run Thursday
    Wenceel Perez went 1-for-4 with an RBI against the Blue Jays on Thursday.

    Advice: To say it was a quiet night for the Tigers offense would be an understatement. Detroit failed to record an extra-base hit on the night. Perez singled in the sixth inning to drive in Javier Baez and Carson Kelly was thrown out at home by Kevin Kiermaier on the same play. Perez has been the lone bright spot in the Tigers order recently. He’s hitting .295 with an .859 OPS and 14 RBI since his April call to the majors. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:34 pm
     
  • Varsho blasts ninth home run Thursday
    Daulton Varsho went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Tigers on Thursday.

    Advice: Varsho came to the plate in a tie game in the seventh inning and hit a two-run home run off Tigers starter Jack Flaherty that put the Blue Jays ahead for good. Varsho is hitting just .213 this year, but he has five stolen bases to go with nine home runs and 27 RBI. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:30 pm
     
  • Guerrero Jr. hits fifth home run Thursday
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 2-for-5 with a double, two runs scored and a two-run home run against the Tigers on Thursday.

    Advice: Guerrero Jr. scored on a Justin Turner double in the eighth inning and then homered in a 7-1 game in the ninth. The home run was his fifth of the season and he now has 24 RBI. Guerrero Jr. is up to .282 with a .799 OPS this year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:26 pm
     
  • Hits third homer
    Kelenic went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Kelenic opened the scoring in the fifth inning, taking Hayden Wesneski deep. This was Kelenic's third straight game with a hit, and all three of his homers this year have come over his last 11 contests, a span in which he's hitting .222 (8-for-36). The outfielder is at a .248/.293/.376 slash line with eight RBI, 11 runs scored, five doubles and no stolen bases over 116 plate appearances. He is likely to remain limited to a strong-side platoon role in left field, sharing the position with Adam Duvall, unless either outfielder goes on an extended hot streak.

  • Pops game-tying homer
    Martini went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Martini has started the last two games in right field, replacing Jake Fraley (hand). Prior to Thursday, Martini was stuck in an 0-for-15 drought at the major-league level, though the slump spanned a demotion to Triple-A Louisville. He snapped it with a second-inning single before tying this contest with a two-run blast in the sixth. For the season, Martini is slashing .184/.204/.356 with four homers, 17 RBI, 15 runs scored and no stolen bases across 93 plate appearances. When the Reds are closer to full health, Martini will likely compete for playing time with Mike Ford, who is batting .161 on the year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:05 pm
