  • 52-40-8 5th Place
    • Rips walk-off double
      Garcia went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI, a run and walk in Thursday's 4-3 win versus the Yankees.

      Advice: Garcia came up with two on and two out in the ninth and took a Clay Holmes sinker down the left-field line to win it for Kansas City. The 24-year-old third baseman entered the game in a bit of a slump during June with just one RBI and a .159 average in 40 at-bats. Garcia continues to provide a spark for the Royals this season with his solid counting stats, as he now has 18 extra-base hits and 38 RBI with 16 stolen bases through 68 games.

    • Maikel Garcia delivers game-winner for Royals
      Maikel Garcia delivered a two-run double with two outs in the ninth to give the Royals a 4-3 win over the Yankees on Thursday.

      Advice: Garcia hasn’t hit quite as well as we expected, but he has 38 RBI anyway, mostly because his average is over 100 points higher with runners on than with the bases empty. Between that, his 45 runs scored in the leadoff spot and his 16 steals, he’s been an odd, three-category wonder so far. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:27 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 Yesterday, 1:26 pm
       
    • Homer, three hits in win
      Lewis went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 17-9 win over the Rockies.

      Advice: Lewis made his presence felt in Minnesota's 24-hit outburst -- he was one of eight Twins to record two or more hits, including a two-run homer off Angel Chivilli to extend the lead to 10-3. Since returning from a 10-week stint on the IL with a quad injury, Lewis has gone 9-for-28 (.321) with four homers and seven RBI across eight games. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:41 pm
       
    • Royce Lewis stays hot with fifth homer on Wednesday
      Royce Lewis went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer on Wednesday in the Twins’ blowout win over the Rockies.

      Advice: Lewis took Rockies reliever Angel Chivilli deep for a 424-foot dinger in the sixth inning for his fifth long ball of the year. The 25-year-old burgeoning slugger has launched four homers in eight games since returning from the injured list back on June 4. He has fantasy superstar potential, if he can somehow manage to stay on the field and avoid the injuries that have plagued him the last few years. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:04 pm
       
    • Logs steal in loss
      Garcia went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Yankees.

      Advice: Garcia has three steals over his last seven games, but he's gone just 5-for-32 (.156) in that span. He surged at the plate over the second half of May, but it appears he's leveled off again. The third baseman is slashing .251/.299/.373 with 16 steals, five home runs, 36 RBI and 43 runs scored over 66 contests out of the leadoff spot for the Royals. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:48 pm
       
    • Crushes another homer
      Lewis went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Monday's win over Colorado.

      Advice: Lewis blasted a Nick Mears curveball 435 feet in the eighth inning, stretching Minnesota's lead to 5-0. The Twins third baseman has impressively hit four homers in seven games this season, requiring just 24 plate appearances. Overall, Lewis is hitting .333 (7-for-21) with five runs scored, six RBI and 2:5 BB:K. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:32 pm
       
    • Lewis blasts fourth home run Monday
      Royce Lewis went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and a two-run home run against the Rockies on Monday.

      Advice: Lewis’ home run was his fourth of the season in only seven games played. He’s done quite a job at making up for lost time. Lewis hit 15 home runs with a .240 ISO in 58 games last year before putting on a power display in the playoffs as well. He continues to show that his power is legitimate. Lewis just needs to stay on the field to be a major contributor this year. Rotoworld Monday, 7:12 pm
       
    • Sitting Sunday
      Lewis is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Pirates.

      Advice: Lewis will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after going 1-for-8 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. The 24-year-old third baseman came off the injured list Tuesday after missing almost 10 weeks due to a strained right quadriceps, so the fact that he'll get a rest day Sunday doesn't come as a major surprise. Jose Miranda will start at third base Sunday, while Trevor Larnach serves as the designated hitter against Pirates right-hander Jared Jones. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:20 am
