  • Stroman allows five in no-decision Thursday
    Marcus Stroman allowed five runs in 4 2/3 innings and got a no-decision in the Yankees’ 8-5 victory over the Twins on Thursday.

    Advice: Stroman gave up six hits, walked two and struck out two. He didn’t qualify for the win because he was unable to complete five innings. Stroman’s ERA is 3.16 on the season, but his xFIP is significantly higher at 4.48. He’s never been a big strikeout pitcher and has benefitted from an 82 percent left on base percentage this year. Stroman is certainly due for regression in that area. The 33-year-old right-hander is set to face the Royals at home next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:18 pm
     
  • De La Cruz blasts 11th home run in win Thursday
    Elly De La Cruz went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run against the Cubs on Thursday.



    Advice: De La Cruz took Javier Assad deep in the third inning for his 11th home run of the season. He’s only hitting .240, but with 11 home runs and 32 stolen bases already De La Cruz is on the fast track to having a first round ADP next season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:48 pm
     
  • Greene allows four, gets fourth win Thursday
    Hunter Greene allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings and got the win in the Reds’ 8-4 victory over the Cubs on Thursday.



    Advice: Greene gave up five hits, walked two and struck out eight. The win was his fourth in 13 starts this season. It was a bit of a mixed bag for Greene with two home runs allowed and eight strikeouts. He has a 3.61 ERA on the season, but a 4.23 xFIP. The 24-year-old right-hander is set to face the Guardians at home next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:46 pm
     
  • Abrams blasts 10th home run Thursday
    CJ Abrams went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Braves on Thursday.

    Advice: The home run was Abrams’ 10th of the season. He had slumped and missed time with shoulder soreness last week, but seemed unbothered on Thursday. Abrams continues to show more power than he did last year as his .211 ISO is a lot better than the .167 ISO he had last year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:13 pm
     
  • Duvall hits sixth home run in win Thursday
    Adam Duvall went 1-for-4 with a two-run home against the Nationals on Thursday.

    Advice: The home run was Duvall’s sixth of the season. He’s still hitting just .195 on the year. Duvall was in a deep slump before his game-tying home run in the seventh inning. He still needs to show more at the plate if he’s going to be the everyday right fielder for the Braves in the wake of Ronald Acuna Jr.'s season-ending injury. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:07 pm
     
  • José Ramírez homers, drives in two against Royals
    José Ramírez homered and drove in two runs in a loss Thursday to the Royals.

    Advice: J-Ram took Brady Singer deep for his 17th homer of the season. He also drove in a run with an infield single. The 31-year-old has been outstanding in 2024 with 60 RBI, nine stolen bases and an .887 OPS. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:12 pm
     
  • Bobby Witt Jr. steals two bags in win over CLE
    Bobby Witt Jr. reached twice while stealing two bases in a 4-3 win for the Royals over the Guardians on Thursday.

    Advice: Witt Jr. is now up to 19 thefts on the year. The speedy superstar is playing at an MVP level with a .317/.371/.560 slash, and has picked up hits in each game thus far in June. If 2025 drafts were held now — and they are decidedly not — it’d be hard to argue that he wouldn’t be the first pick in the overwhelming majority of leagues. Scary to think he’s still only 23, too.

  • Jalen Beeks melts down in ugly blown save vs. Reds
    Jalen Beeks was charged with five runs in the ninth inning on Wednesday in a blown save against the Reds.

    Advice: Beeks was called upon to protect a narrow one-run lead on Wednesday afternoon at Coors Field and wound up recording a pair of outs before serving up a go-ahead two-run homer to Spencer Steer. He was lifted from the contest after loading the bases and was charged with all three additional runs when rookie Angel Chivilli coughed up a grand slam to Jonathan India. Not great. Unfortunately for the Rockies, they don’t have a ton of alternatives at the moment in the ninth inning besides occasionally turning to Tyler Kinley. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:28 pm
     
  • Adam Duvall goes 0-for-3, in 3-for-26 slump
    Adam Duvall went 0-for-3 on Wednesday, leaving him 3-for-26 in his last seven games.

    Advice: Duvall homered in the game in which Ronald Acuña Jr. was hurt and then did so again the next day after becoming the Braves’ full-time right fielder, but he’s slumped since, putting him at .191/.277/.357 for the season. If this continues, the Braves might not be able to wait until the trade deadline to find themselves an additional outfielder. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:25 pm
