  • Triples in two straight
    Carroll went 1-for-4 with a triple, a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over Detroit. He was also caught stealing.

    Advice: Carroll tripled to lead off the bottom of the first inning and scored the first of two Arizona runs during the frame. It was the second straight game with a triple for Carroll, who finished second in MLB last season with 10 three-baggers. Moving back to leadoff hasn't done much to break Carroll's season-opening slump; in seven games atop the order, he's 4-for-24 with three extra-base hits, five runs and has been caught stealing twice.

  • Scores winning run
    Grichuk went 1-for-2 with a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Grichuk singled as a pinch hitter to lead off the bottom of the seventh inning and came around to score the winning run. He's been uncanny as a pinch hitter, going 7-for-10 with a walk when batting for a teammate. The right-hitting outfielder/DH is typically in the lineup against lefties and has made just four starts over the last 17 games. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Extends, ends streak
    Marte went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over Detroit.

    Advice: Marte extended a hit streak to 18 games with a second-inning single. His single two innings later ended another streak: the switch-hitter entered Sunday's contest with exactly one hit in 15 consecutive games. It seems counter-intuitive, but Marte's batting average has actually dropped during the streak, from .307 to .292. It should be noted he's done more than just hit singles during the run; Marte has four doubles, two triples, four home runs, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored over those 18 games.

  • Starts at third base
    Alexander started at third base and went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Alexander had one of the two productive run-producing outs in the bottom of the seventh inning when the Diamondbacks reclaimed a lead they lost in the top half of the frame. He started for the fourth time in the last eight games, and it was his first start at third base. After a spell as the regular fill-in for Geraldo Perdomo (knee) at shortstop, Alexander has taken a back seat to Kevin Newman. With recent news coming out that Perdomo is expected back in two weeks, Alexander could be moving down to the minors in early June. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Finds power in win
    Pages went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Reds.

    Advice: Pages crushed a two-run shot off of Hunter Greene in the fourth to give the Dodgers a 2-0 lead. Pages has now tallied a hit in each of his last four games after a 10-game stretch from May 5-May 15 during which he hit just .114 with a 42.5 percent strikeout rate. Despite the mini slump, Pages survived a flurry of roster changes made by the Dodgers over the weekend and was hitting fifth in Sunday's win, showing the confidence manager Dave Roberts has in him. He's now slashing .265/.301/.451 with five homers, 16 RBI, 18 runs and a 4:34 BB:K in 123 plate appearances. His .752 OPS is also third among NL rookies with at least 100 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 3:28 am
     
  • Shows power and speed in win
    Kim went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, a walk, a steal and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-1 win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Kim's first hit of the night was a base hit in the fourth, during which he stole second and came around to score on a double from Fernando Tatis. He then destroyed a 393-foot blast to center field in the seventh to extend the lead to 9-0. Kim now has just two stolen bases since April 23 and has yet to reach double digits this year after being seventh in baseball in 2023 with 38 thefts. HIs struggles to make contact remain, as he's slashing just .212/.325/.370 with six homers, 22 RBI, 24 runs and a 27:34 BB:K in 195 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:04 am

  • Goes deep in win
    Campusano went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 9-1 win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Campusano went deep to left off of Ray Kerr to extend the Padres' lead to 8-0 in the fifth. It was his second home run this month and his fourth of the year. The 25-year-old is now slashing .264/.309/.421 with 14 extra base hits, 25 RBI 19 runs and a 9:20 BB:K in 149 plate appearances after putting together a career-high 174 plate appearances last season.

  • Swats early home run
    Cronenworth went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's 9-1 win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Cronenworth opened up the scoring with a two-run blast off Bryce Elder in the opening frame for his only hit of the night. Currently among all qualified first basemen, Cronenworth owns a 140 wRC+, which is third in baseball only behind Freddie Freeman and Bryce Harper. He's putting together an excellent campaign and is currently slashing .275/.344/.485 with eight homers, 30 RBI, 21 runs and a 17:33 BB:K in 192 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:47 am
     
  • Racks up three hits
    Profar went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's 9-1 win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Profar began his evening with a first inning walk before rounding the bases on a home run from Jake Cronenworth. He later doubled in a run in the fourth and eventually scored again to make it a 7-0 game. Profar remains as locked in as anyone at the plate. He's currently riding a seven-game hit streak during which he's slashing .400/.500/.560 with four RBI, five runs and a 5:4 BB:K. For the year, the 31-year-old is on pace to put up career numbers across the board, hitting .335/.422/.522 with seven homers, 31 RBI, 27 runs and a 24:27 BB:K in 187 plate appearances.
