  • Blasts third home run
    Carpenter went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.

    Advice: Carpenter has been playing well lately, recording a .321 batting average and four extra-base hits across his last 10 games. While he generally sits against southpaws, Carpenter feasts on righties, and that should allow him to remain a solid fantasy asset moving forward. The 26-year-old broke out a bit last year with 20 home runs, 64 RBI and an .811 OPS, and he could surpass all of those numbers in 2024. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
     
  • Hits first 2024 home run
    Meadows went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.

    Advice: Meadows has really been scuffling to start the season, as he's still batting just .077, and the outfielder had started to see his playing time dip a bit. He was moved down to eighth in the order Wednesday, and perhaps a lower lineup spot could help take some pressure off. Meadows has the talent to get rolling, though fantasy managers will want to see the 24-year-old string together a few more good games before feeling too confident. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
     
  • Swipes bag in win
    Swanson went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Playing against the team that drafted him first overall back in 2015, Swanson notched his first multi-hit performance in 12 days. The shortstop hasn't really gotten going yet, as he's batting just .235 with two home runs and two stolen bases across 18 games. However, Swanson is at no real risk of losing playing time, and he has the talent to heat up in a hurry. Rotowire.com Today, 8:19 pm
     
  • Goes yard again
    Rosario went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored Wednesday against the Angels.

    Advice: Rosario generated his second homer of the campaign -- each coming in the past four games -- tagging Hunter Strickland for a two-run shot in the eighth inning to bring the Rays to within one run. The outing marked Rosario's fourth multi-hit performance of his last five games, a stretch in which he's batting .455 with six RBI and four runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 8:18 pm

  • Cranks third home run
    Bellinger went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Bellinger is off to a bit of a slow start, with just a .200 batting average, a .667 OPS and three home runs across 18 games. However, he is now riding a modest four-game hitting streak, and perhaps Wednesday's long ball will give him another boost of momentum. Bellinger batted .307 with an .881 OPS and 26 home runs a season ago, so the upside is certainly there. Rotowire.com Today, 8:15 pm
     
  • Homers twice Wednesday
    Varsho went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Varsho opened the scoring with a two-run shot off Marcus Stroman in the second inning before extending Toronto's lead to 3-1 with a second homer off left-hander Caleb Ferguson in the seventh. The 27-year-old Varsho has heated up after a slow start to the year, going 8-for-25 (.320) with four homers in his last eight games. Overall, he's slashing .218/.295/.473 through his first 61 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 8:10 pm
     
  • Three hits, homer in win
    Soto went 3-for-3 with a homer, a double, two total RBI and a pair of walks in Wednesday's 6-4 comeback victory over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Soto got the Yankees on the board with a two-out double in the fifth inning, cutting Toronto's lead to 2-1, before smacking a solo homer off Genesis Cabrera in the eighth for the 500th RBI of his career. The 25-year-old Soto has gotten off to a great start in New York -- he's now batting .352 with a 1.055 OPS, four homers and 17 RBI through his first 90 plate appearances this season.

  • Five hits in twin bill
    DeJong went 5-for-6 with a walk, a double and a two-run homer across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals.

    Advice: The veteran shortstop provided Chicago's only runs in Game 1 with a two-run home run during the second inning, and he collected two more singles in the nightcap. DeJong entered the day with a .618 OPS through 13 games this season, but the five-hit barrage raised his season slash line to .275/.293/.600. Rotowire.com Today, 8:00 pm

    Advice: Wong clubbed a home run for a second-consecutive contest, bringing his season total to three -- each of which came in the past five games. He's also notched multiple hits in three consecutive contests and is slugging .676 with a 1.048 OPS in 35 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:26 pm
