  • Jake Burger leads Marlins past Diamondbacks
    Jake Burger smacked a two-run single in the seventh inning on Saturday, helping to lead the Marlins to a 3-1 victory over the Diamondbacks in Arizona.

    Advice: The two sides entered the seventh inning embattled in a scoreless tie, until Bryan De La Cruz plated a run with a fielder’s choice. Burger then followed with a two-run knock off of Kevin Ginkel that extended the Marlins’ lead to 3-0. That would prove to be more than enough for Ryan Weathers and company in this one. The 28-year-old slugger finished the afternoon 1-for-4 plus a walk and is now hitting .195/.234/.320 with four homers and 19 RBI on the season. Rotoworld 56 minutes ago

  • Four hits Sunday
    Guerrero went 4-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 14-11 defeat to the Tigers.

    Advice: Guerrero stayed hot Sunday, recording his fifth multi-hit game over his last 10 contests. During that span, Guerrero is batting a torrid .410 with six RBI and seven runs scored. The 25-year-old has recovered from his slow start to the season as his average now sits above .300 on the year. Rotowire.com Today, 3:34 pm
     
  • Slugs second homer
    Cavan Biggio went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Sunday's 14-11 loss to Detroit.

    Advice: Biggio's home run Sunday was his first since the season opener way back on March 28th. The 29-year-old has been in and out of the lineup this season due to subpar performance, batting .208 with two home runs, nine RBI and 12 runs scored in 38 games. Sunday's showing was a step in the right direction, but Biggio will need to further prove himself to earn consistent playing time at second base over Davis Schneider. Rotowire.com Today, 3:07 pm

  • Homers in three-hit game
    Torkelson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double and two additional runs scored in Sunday's 14-11 victory over Toronto.

    Advice: Torkelson entered this game in an 0-for-19 slump but broke out in a big way, registering his first three-hit game since April 19. The 24-year-old took Blue Jays starter Yusei Kikuchi deep in the fourth inning, his fourth home run over his past 13 games. On the season, the 2020 No. 1 draft pick is batting .218 with four home runs, 18 RBI and 24 runs scored in 50 games played. Rotowire.com Today, 2:22 pm
     
  • Not starting Sunday
    Busch is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Even with right-hander Sonny Gray taking the mound for the Cardinals on Sunday, the lefty-hitting Busch will begin the series finale in the dugout. Patrick Wisdom will start at first base in Busch's stead and will bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:49 pm
     
  • Matt Olson with three hits, home run in win
    Matt Olson went 3-for-5 with a home run, double, and three RBI against the Pirates on Sunday.

    Advice: Olson paced the Braves in this one, smoking three hard-hit balls capitalized by a late, 107.8 MPH homer off of Aroldis Chapman. Olson’s finally breaking out of his early season malaise bringing his OPS up from .665 to .744 since May 8th. Rotoworld Today, 1:30 pm
     
  • Spencer Torkelson goes 3-for-5, homers
    Spencer Torkelson finished 3-for-5 with a homer and a double against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

    Advice: Torkelson didn’t play Saturday after going hitless in his previous five games. Still, this makes four homers in 13 games for him after he went his first 37 games without one. The problem is that he has just six other hits in those 13 games, and his average has actually dropped a bit during the span. He’s at .218/.286/.358 for the season. Rotoworld Today, 12:27 pm
     
  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr. goes 4-for-5, doubles
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 4-for-5 with a double and an RBI against the Tigers on Sunday.

    Advice: The double left his bat at 117.0 mph, one of his hardest-hit balls of the season. It’d be nice if it came with a little more power, but Guerrero is batting .407 this month, raising his OPS from .678 to .820. Rotoworld Today, 12:27 pm
     
  • Set to be called up Monday
    Astros manager Joe Espada said Sunday that Abreu will return to the team Monday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Abreu was optioned to the Astros' rookie-level Florida Complex League affiliate April 30 after he started the season slashing .099/.156/.113 with three RBI over 77 plate appearances. He went 7-for-22 with two doubles, one home run and three RBI across five outings in the FCL. Abreu appeared in two games with Triple-A Sugar Land over the weekend, and the 37-year-old will travel with the Astros for their upcoming series against the Mariners. Rotowire.com Today, 12:22 pm
