  • Produces three hits in victory
    Heyward went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Monday's 9-5 win over Colorado.

    Advice: Heyward's pair of RBI came on a single in the eighth inning. The veteran notched his second three-hit effort of the campaign and snapped an eight-game slump during which he had gone 2-for-22 at the plate. Overall, Heyward is slashing .241/.337/.443 with three homers, 11 RBI, 13 runs and two stolen bases through 92 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:44 pm
     
  • Swats another homer
    Goodman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday in a loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Goodman made his second straight start at DH and belted a two-run blast in the ninth inning. The 24-year-old slugged two homers two days earlier while making a start at catcher. Goodman is still slashing just .195/.235/.455 of the season, but he's shown promising power with five long balls over 81 plate appearances. He'd become much more intriguing from a fantasy perspective if he logs enough games behind the plate to earn positional eligibility there. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:25 pm
     
  • Goes deep in win
    Siani went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 7-6 extra-innings win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Siani opened the scoring with a fifth-inning homer off Miami starter Braxton Garrett. Siani has hit safely in eight of his 15 games in June, but he hasn't posted a multi-hit effort since May 20. The outfielder is up to two homers, 10 RBI, 17 runs scored, seven stolen bases and a .210/.257/.283 slash line through 157 plate appearances. Siani sat out against the last two southpaws the Cardinals have faced, so he appears to be slipping into a strong-side platoon role in center field, with Dylan Carlson picking up at-bats versus lefties.

  • Drives in three runs Monday
    Happ went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Monday's loss to San Francisco.

    Advice: Happ's seventh-inning, three-run homer snapped a 3-3 tie and appeared to give the Cubs a comfortable advantage, but the Giants scored three runs in the ninth to pull out the win. Nonetheless, Happ continued to break out of his recent slump -- over his past three contests, he's gone 6-for-9 with two homers, six RBI and three walks. Prior to the three-game stretch, Happ endured a rough span of eight contests during which he went 2-for-28 with 10 strikeouts. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:42 pm
     
  • Rengifo comes off bench day after wrist injury
    Luis Rengifo came off the bench and struck out as a pinch-hitter Monday against the Brewers.

    Advice: He then remained in to play two innings at third base. Rengifo didn’t start because of a wrist injury suffered Sunday, but it seems like he’ll be fine. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:01 pm

  • Smacks 12th home run
    De La Cruz went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Monday's 7-6 loss versus the Cardinals.

    Advice: The 27-year-old's only hit in this game was a big one as he tied the score at 4-4 with a three-run blast off JoJo Romero in the eighth. De La Cruz is already up to 12 homers in 2024 after he totaled 19 long balls in 153 games last year. The power production helps offset De La Cruz's underwhelming .242/.295/.416 slash line.

  • Greg Jones hits first MLB home run
    Greg Jones hit his first major league homer as a pinch-hitter Monday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Jones, a longtime Rays prospect, took fellow former Rays pitcher JP Feyereisen deep tonight. It’s Jones’ first hit in five at-bats since his callup 11 days ago. The Rockies, who are suffering for their utter inability to manage a 40-man roster, have given Jones just one start since calling him up from Triple-A. All indications are that he’ll head back to the minors in the near future, but it still might make sense for Colorado to give him some at-bats in the meantime. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:08 pm

  • Homers, drives in four
    Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in Monday's win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Nimmo knocked RBI singles in the second and fifth innings but most of his damage came in the fourth inning when he ripped a two-run homer. It was his second straight three-hit game and fourth consecutive appearance with multiple hits. That hot streak has bumped Nimmo's OPS from .708 to .756. He has eight home runs and 39 RBI through 67 games this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:37 pm
     
  • Happ blasts three-run home run Monday
    Ian Happ went 2-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run against the Giants on Monday.

    Advice: Happ’s home run was his eighth of the season. The three-run blast gave the Cubs a 6-3 lead in the seventh inning. It was Happ’s second home run in his last three games and third consecutive game with at least two hits. Happ’s wRC+ on the season is up to 115, which is the same as his career wRC+.
