  • Three hits in Thursday's loss
    Meneses went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: It's the third multi-hit performance in the last five games for Meneses, who's started seven straight contests while batting .360 (9-for-25). The 31-year-old is still looking for his first homer of the season an d has only two doubles, but with Lane Thomas (knee) on the shelf and Joey Gallo needed in right field, Meneses' playing time looks secure as he flips between first base and DH. On the season, he's slashing .257/.337/.284 with 10 RBI but only two runs scored in 20 games. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting again Friday
    Renfroe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Renfoe isn't starting for the second straight game and for the third time in Kansas City's past four contests. The 32-year-old has a .149/.208/.284 slash line in 72 plate appearances and appears to be losing his grip on an everyday role. Adam Frazier will receive a start in right field Friday.

  • Slugs first homer
    Montero went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Thursday against the Padres.

    Advice: Montero went 6-for-22 through the first six games of the Rockies' homestand, though all but one of those hits was a single. His lone extra-base knock came Thursday, which also marked the first home run of his season. Montero is batting only .233 through 82 plate appearances, but he has cut his strikeout rate to just 14.6 percent this season and has started 13 of the last 14 games.

  • Swipes first bag
    Vaught went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Vaughn singled in his first trip to the plate before stealing his first base of the season. He added a double in his next at-bat, then came around to score on a Paul DeJong single to put Chicago up 2-0, marking the first baseman's first multi-hit performance since April 9 against the Guardians. Vaughn is batting just .170 (15-for-88) following the two-hit effort, though he has hit safely in three of his last four games. Rotowire.com Today, 4:37 am
     
  • Three hits, two RBI in win
    Hoskins went 3-for-5 in Thursday's win over the Pirates with a double, two RBI and a stolen base.

    Advice: Hoskins singled home William Contreras in his second at-bat to tie the game at 3-3 and later added an RBI double to give Milwaukee a one-run lead. The first baseman has recorded at least one RBI in four of his last six games, while Thursday marked his second three-hit effort of the season. With that said, he's still batting just .219 (16-for-73) in April with four homers and 13 RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 4:08 am
     
  • Swats first homer
    Nevin went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Thursday in a 3-1 victory versus the Yankees.

    Advice: Nevin's two-run blast off Nestor Cortes in the third inning proved to be the game-winning hit, as neither team crossed the plate after that point. The long ball was his first this season and just his sixth through 375 big-league plate appearances. Nevin hasn't flashed much power thus far and has never stolen a base as a major leaguer, but he's at least put together a decent .286/.355/.375 slash line this season. Rotowire.com Today, 12:09 am

  • Belts big long ball
    Goodman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday in a 10-9 victory versus San Diego.

    Advice: Goodman's eighth-inning, three-run blast was enormous not only in terms of distance (it traveled an estimated 448 feet) but also in terms of impact, as it brought the Rockies to within two runs in what was to become a successful late comeback. The homer was Goodman's first hit in six at-bats since being promoted from Triple-A on Wednesday. The 2021 fourth-round draft pick had seven long balls through 91 plate appearances in the minors prior to the call-up and knocked 34 home runs over 106 minor-league contests last year, so his potential for big-league power is intriguing, especially given his home field.

  • Clubs first homer of 2024
    France went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Although France boasts a quality .266 batting average through 22 games, he's been a non-factor in the power department, waiting until his 84th plate appearance to notch his first home run of the campaign. The long ball came in the first inning off Andrew Heaney and plated Julio Rodriguez. His ISO has dropped from .116 to .088 while his strikeout rate sits at 21.8 percent after posting a K-rate lower than 18 percent in three straight seasons. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:53 pm
     
  • Hits first homer
    Santana went 1-for-4 with a home run, one RBI and one run scored in Thursday's 6-3 victory over the White Sox. It was his first home runs of the season.

    Advice: After a dreadful start to the season (.347 OPS and one extra base hit in his first 16 games), Santana is finally showing some signs of life at the plate. He's 4-for-21 with a double and home run in his last five games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:09 pm
