  • Productive near bottom of order
    Raley went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and a stolen base in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Advice: Raley drew his fourth start in five games Saturday night and delivered in the low-scoring victory, driving the Mariners' first run of the game in the fifth inning with a timely knock. Raley also swiped his first base of the season, and he was able to get his average back over the Mendoza line (.204) with what was his second multi-hit effort in the last five games.

  • Knocks second homer Saturday
    France went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Advice: France gave the Mariners some valuable breathing room in the seventh, extending a one-run lead via a 410-foot shot to left center with Jorge Polanco aboard. It was the second homer in three games for France, who previously hadn't left the yard over his first 21 games of the campaign. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

  • MRI shows inflammation in knee
    Sano said Saturday that he's day-to-day after an MRI revealed inflammation in his left knee, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It sounds like Sano avoided a major setback with his surgically repaired left knee. He exited games Wednesday and Friday due to soreness, and Angels manager Ron Washington told Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register that the left knee had contributed to Sano's recent struggles at the plate. While Sano says he's day-to-day, it would not be a surprise if he sat Sunday, and an IL stint can't be completely ruled out. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago

  • Homers again in win
    Santana went 2-for-4 with a double, home run, four RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's victory over the Angels.

    Advice: Santana hit a home run for a third consecutive game. After slumping to begin the season (.347 OPS and one extra base hit in his first 16 games), he's 5-for-12 with three homers and a double in his last three games. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Belts first big-league homer
    Shenton went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and a walk Saturday in an extra-inning loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: Shenton came into the contest having gone 0-for-8 with three strikeouts over his previous four contests, but he turned things around with the opportunity to start at first base and work as the Rays' cleanup hitter. The 26-year-old enjoyed a personal highlight with a solo shot to left field in the fifth inning for his first major-league long ball. Shelton slugged 29 homers over 134 minor-league games last year, so he could be an intriguing source of power if given more opportunity. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Productive in 2024 debut
    Cabbage went 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI on Saturday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Cabbage was called up to serve as Houston's 27th man for the Mexico City Series, and he was immediately slotted into the lineup to make his 2024 debut. He delivered the RBI knock in his first plate appearance, though he was pulled in the sixth inning in favor of pinch hitter Mauricio Dubon. Cabbage will almost certainly be back with Triple-A Sugar Land after the team's weekend series abroad, where he's maintained a .271 batting average while also striking out 31.9 percent of the time across 91 plate appearances.

  • Alec Bohm drives in four runs with homer vs. Padres
    Alec Bohm homered and drove in four runs in a victory Saturday over the Padres.

    Advice: Bohm got the party started with a two-run homer off a shaky Dylan Cease in the first inning. The 27-year-old added two more RBI with a single off Cease in the fifth to bring his RBI total 26 in 28 games. That number isn’t sustainable, but Bohm is going to get a lot of run-producing changes as long as he’s effective enough to justify hitting in the middle of this loaded Philadelphia lineup.

  • Rhys Hoskins homers, but Brewers routed by Yankees
    Rhys Hoskins hit a solo homer in a blowout loss Saturday to the Yankees.

    Advice: Hoskins homered in the first inning off Carlos Rodón to get the Brewers to within two runs at 3-1. The Brewers would only get one more hit off the left-hander and would end up losing by a dozen. Hoskins now has six homers, 18 RBI and a .781 OPS in his first month as a member of the Brew Crew.

  • Swats homer in win
    Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: The long ball was Mountcastle's first hit in three games since he recovered from a minor knee issue. He posted multiple hits in seven of the 11 games prior to the injury. The first baseman has been solid this year, slashing .299/.364/.483 with three homers, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored and seven doubles over 99 plate appearances, though he has yet to attempt to steal a base.
