  • 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

  • On base three more times in loss
    Bleday went 2-for-4 with a walk and a run in a loss to the Padres on Wednesday.

    Advice: Both of Bleday's hits were singles, but Wednesday marked his second straight game reaching safely on three occasions after a brief 0-for-13 slump that had encompassed his previous three contests. Bleday has pushed his on-base percentage back up to a solid .326 with his frequent trips on the basepaths the last two nights, and he's also carrying a 19.6 percent strikeout rate.

  • 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

  • Records five hits
    Correa went 5-for-6 with three runs scored and an RBI in Wednesday's 17-9 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Correa's first career five-hit game is the highlight of what's been a stellar run at the plate -- he's now 15-for-29 (.517) with a double and a home run over his last seven contests. The 29-year-old Correa is now slashing .290/.356/.459 with five homers, 28 RBI and 28 runs scored across 208 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:24 pm

  • Resting Wednesday
    Wells isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Wells will take a seat Wednesday after launching his second home run of the season during Tuesday's win. Jose Trevino will start behind the plate instead and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:29 pm
     
  • Carlos Correa tallies five hits, Twins roll Rockies
    Carlos Correa recorded a career-high five hits on Wednesday, leading the Twins to a lopsided 17-9 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Correa singled five times, finishing 5-for-6 with an RBI and also scored three runs in this one, as Minnesota racked up a staggering 24 hits in a back-and-forth slugfest at Target Field. It’s pretty incredible the impact that a five-hit effort can have as it raises his full-season batting average from .271 to a near-elite .290 mark. The 29-year-old shortstop isn’t hitting for a ton of over-the-fence pop, but he’s been on a tear of late, batting .310 over his last 30 games. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:06 pm
