  • Saturday’s A’s vs. Twins game postponed (rain)
    Saturday’s game between the Athletics and Twins has been postponed due to inclement weather.

    Advice: Rain in the forecast throughout the afternoon and evening in Minnesota made this one an easy call. It’ll be made up as a doubleheader on Sunday afternoon instead. Saturday’s scheduled starters -- Joey Estes and Bailey Ober -- will presumably be pushed back to take the ball at some point during Sunday’s twin bill at Target Field. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:49 am

  • Alec Bohm delivers decisive two-run double
    Alec Bohm went 3-for-5 with double and two RBI on Friday in the Phillies’ dramatic 5-3 win over the Orioles.

    Advice: Bohm’s eleventh inning double put a stamp on what was maybe the game of the year so far with the Orioles and Phillies going back and forth all night with a long rain delay in between. It was his third hit of the night and second batted ball over 100 MPH. He continues to be a force in the middle of the Phillies’ lineup. Rotoworld Friday, 8:53 pm

  • Jose Altuve doubles twice as Astros defeat Tigers
    Jose Altuve went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and a run scored on Friday evening, helping to lead the Astros past the Tigers.

    Advice: Altuve got a rally started with a leadoff double off of Tarik Skubal to begin the sixth inning. He then scored the game’s first run on Alex Bregman’s ensuing RBI triple. Altuve also drew a walk in the ballgame, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances. With his two-hit attack, the 34-year-old second baseman is now slashing an outstanding .298/.349/.453 to go along with 10 homers, 26 RBI and nine stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Friday, 8:09 pm

  • Royce Lewis getting a breather on Friday night
    Royce Lewis is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Athletics.

    Advice: The Twins have been careful to ease the 25-year-old slugger back into action following his return from the injured list, but after starting four straight games they decided it was a good time to give him a breather. Jose Miranda will start in his place at the hot corner and will bat fifth for the Twins against Mitch Spence and the Athletics. Rotoworld Friday, 1:38 pm

  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Lewis is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Lewis is in the midst of a six-game hit streak, during which he's gone 9-for-23 with two homers, but he'll take a seat Friday after making four straight starts. Jose Miranda will step in at the hot corner and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:31 pm

  • Remains red hot Thursday
    Correa went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional run and an additional RBI in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: Correa gave the Twins their first lead with a run-scoring single in the third inning and capped the scoring in the contest with a two-run homer to left field in the seventh. The veteran shortstop finished with his sixth multi-hit performance over his past eight contests, and he's slashing a jaw-dropping .545/.568/.758 with two homers, eight runs and nine RBI over that span. The hot stretch has pushed Correa's season slash line to .299/.363/.481, and he has six long balls, 31 RBI and 30 runs through 212 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:51 am

  • Correa has home run, three hits, three RBI vs. A’s
    Carlos Correa went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, three RBI, and a home run against the Athletics on Thursday.

    Advice: Correa has been absolutely on fire at the plate lately. He’s hitting 18-for-33 (.545) with two home runs and nine RBI in his last eight games. Correa’s average is suddenly up to .299 with 31 RBI on the season. Despite only having six home runs total this year, his fantasy value is undeniable. Rotoworld Thursday, 7:42 pm

  • Royce Lewis making fourth straight start Thursday
    Royce Lewis is at third base and batting third for Thursday’s series opener against the Athletics.

    Advice: It’s a notable development that Lewis is making his fourth straight start after being eased back into game action last week following a lengthy absence due to a severe quad injury. The 25-year-old emerging fantasy stalwart is batting .321 (9-for-28) with four homers and seven RBI in eight games since returning back on June 4. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:26 pm
