  • Tallies three hits

Overall, Turang is slashing .298/.361/.414 in 205 plate appearances with three homers, 19 stolen bases, 21 RBI and 24 runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:03 pm

  • Anthony Volpe aims to extend hitting streak to 22
    Anthony Volpe will carry a 21-game hitting streak into Thursday’s series finale against the Angels.

    Advice: Volpe can surpass Diamondbacks star Ketel Marte for the longest hitting streak in the majors this season with another knock during Thursday’s series finale in Los Angeles. The 23-year-old shortstop’s offseason overhaul to his swing and offensive approach have resulted in a robust .288 batting average to go along with six homers and 11 stolen bases. He’s recorded at least one hit in 21 straight contests since May 7. He’s a long way from Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game streak, but it’s an interesting wrinkle for fantasy managers to continue monitoring.

  • Bryson Stott goes hitless against Giants
    Bryson Stott, who didn’t start Monday, went 0-for-4 in the loss to the Giants on Tuesday.

    Advice: Stott has run extremely hot and cold this season, posting a .559 OPS over his first 25 games and a 1.242 OPS over his subsequent 18 games. Now he’s back in another drought, having gone 2-for-28 in his last eight games. The good news is that he’s struck out just three times during that span. He still projects as a useful MI in mixed leagues going forward. Rotoworld Tuesday, 11:39 pm

  • Bryson Stott gets a day off on Monday
    Bryson Stott is not in the lineup for the Phillies game against the Giants on Monday.

    Advice: It’s a routine day off for Stott, which was a decision made easier by the Giants starting left-hander Blake Snell. Edmundo Sosa will move up to sixth in the lineup while Whit Merrifield will play second base and hit seventh. Cristian Pache will also start in left field with Brandon Marsh sitting against the lefty. Rotoworld Monday, 11:19 am

  • Sitting against left-hander
    Stott is not in the lineup for Monday's game in San Francisco.

    Advice: The Giants are starting reigning National League Cy Young winner and southpaw Blake Snell on Monday, so the left-handed hitting Stott will receive a day off. Whit Merrifield will handle second base for the Phillies. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:17 am

  • Hitting streak reaches 19
    Volpe went 1-for-3 with a walk, a steal and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Volpe extended his hitting streak to 19 games with a single in the sixth inning. He would then steal second and come around to score off a Juan Soto double to open up the scoring and force Joe Musgrove out of the game. His hit streak is the longest by a Yankee since Derek Jeter in 2012. Volpe is currently tied for sixth in the American League with 61 hits and tied for fifth with 11 steals. The 23-year-old has been thriving in the leadoff spot for the majority of the season and is now slashing .282/.355/.435 with 18 extra-base hits, 23 RBI, 36 runs and a 22:52 BB:K in 244 plate appearances.

  • Stays hot Sunday
    Witt went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Rays.

    Advice: Witt took reliever Shawn Armstrong deep in the sixth inning to open the scoring. The homer was Witt's fourth over his last five games, and he's gone 14-for-38 (.368) during his nine-game hitting streak. The shortstop continues to cruises with a stellar .307/.366/.561 slash line while adding nine homers, 36 RBI, a major-league-leading 48 runs scored, 16 stolen bases, 15 doubles and six triples over 54 contests this season.

  • Bobby Witt Jr. stays hot, homers in win
    Bobby Witt Jr. went 2-for-5 with a home run on Sunday against the Rays.

    Advice: Both of Witt’s hits in this one had at least a 110 MPH exit velocity as he continued to hit the ball with imposing authority. Few hitters in baseball are swinging it better than Witt who has four home runs and 13 RBI in his last seven games. He’s fully ascended into super-stardom and has an argument for the most valuable hitter in fantasy baseball. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:59 pm
