  • Powers up in win
    Naylor went 2-for-4 with two home runs, a walk, five RBI and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 13-7 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Naylor entered Tuesday 0-for-14 over his last three games, and he hadn't logged a multi-hit effort since May 9. Consider the slump busted, as the first baseman tagged starter Ryan Feltner for a two-run blast in the fifth inning before taking reliever Matt Carasiti deep with a three-run shot in the eighth. Naylor is already up to 15 homers through 52 contests this year, just five long balls shy of matching his career high from 2022. He's added a .234/.321/.510 slash line with 40 RBI, 30 runs scored and three stolen bases. Rotowire.com Today, 9:48 pm
     
  • Nicky Lopez doubles, triples, in loss to Blue Jays
    Nicky Lopez went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, and one RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The White Sox managed just two runs on the night, with one of them coming on an RBI double in the third inning. He also tripled in the first inning, as his two extra-base hits on the day tied his season total entering the evening. Lopez has hit safely in eight of his last nine games but is well off the fantasy radar in this dismal offense Rotoworld Today, 9:33 pm

  • Davis Schneider swats two doubles, drives in three
    Davis Schneider went 3-for-4 with two doubles and three RBI in Tuesday’s win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Schneider doubled to kick off the game, but his second double, which came in the second inning, drove in two runs to give the Blue Jays an early 3-0 lead. He would add another RBI in the sixth inning on a sacrifice fly to score George Springer, upping his RBI total to 28 on the season. Schneider is hitting a solid .255 on the year and is slashing .250/.368/.487 this month. While he’s not hitting for an overly high average, he’s offered decent power and an ability to drive in runs.

  • Kiner-Falefa drives in one in win over White Sox
    Isiah Kinder-Falefa went 1-for-4 with a double and RBI in Tuesday’s win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa extended his hitting streak to seven games when he singled to drive in George Springer in the top of the second inning. Kiner-Falefa now has nine homers and 15 RBI on the season and has slashed a solid .280/.304/.467 this month. Despite a good May, Kiner-Falefa remains at the bottom of the lineup in an offense that’s struggled mightily through the first two months. Rotoworld Today, 9:27 pm

  • Swipes bag in loss
    McCarthy went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Rangers.

    Advice: McCarthy was one of two Diamondbacks with a multi-hit effort Tuesday. He's logged a steal in each of his last two games, giving him five thefts on six attempts this season. The outfielder is 13-for-46 (.282) over 20 games in May, putting him right in line with his .284/.358/.404 slash line for the season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:18 pm
     
  • Jurickson Profar homers, knocks in three runs
    Jurickson Profar had a two-run homer and an RBI single to drive in three of the Padres’ four runs Tuesday against the Marlins.

    Advice: We’re still not sure what’s gotten into Profar, but he’s hitting the ball harder than ever and he’s currently boasting a .354 BABIP that’s nearly 90 points better than his career mark. He has to fade some from here, but this is the best he’s ever looked at the plate. Rotoworld Today, 9:13 pm
     
  • Jake Cronenworth goes 0-for-4 versus Marlins
    Jake Cronenworth went 0-for-4 on Tuesday, leaving him 12-for-56 in his last 15 games.

    Advice: Given his obvious decline in 2022 and ’23, Cronenworth was a very nice surprise to begin this year, batting .285/.349/.503 in his first 39 games. He’s slumped the last two weeks, but his exit velocity numbers are still encouraging enough to suggest that he’ll snap out of this and remain rather productive. Rotoworld Today, 9:13 pm
     
  • Tim Anderson goes 0-for-3 in loss to Padres
    Tim Anderson went 0-for-3 in the loss to the Padres on Tuesday.

    Advice: Anderson probably cost the Marlins the game on defense Monday, and he’s on the short list of the game’s worst hitters at .199/.235/.219 this season. A batting champ in 2019 and an All-Star in both 2021 and ’22, it’s hard to understand why he looks so finished now at age 30. Still, he’s turned into such a liability that he should not be in the major leagues at this point. Rotoworld Today, 9:13 pm
     
  • Logs third steal
    Smith went 1-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Smith got the Rangers on the board with an RBI single in the third inning. He also stole second in the eighth after he was plunked. Smith has gone 13-for-43 (.302) with two steals over his last 12 contests. During that stretch, Smith has been promoted to the No. 3 spot in the order. He's slashing a sharp .280/.379/.409 with two home runs, three steals, 21 RBI and 24 runs scored over 190 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 9:10 pm
