  • Cronenworth has double, RBI against Marlins Monday
    Jake Cronenworth went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and an RBI against the Marlins on Monday.

    Advice: Cronenworth’s bases-loaded walk in the seventh inning was the difference in the Padres’ 2-1 victory over the Marlins. He continues to play second base after the Padres’ trade for Luis Arraez. Cronenworth’s average is up to .271 and his OPS is up to .806, both of which would be career-highs.

  • Slugs sixth homer
    Schneider went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Monday's home run was Schneider's first since May 18. Over that span, the 25-year-old has batted just .194 with seven RBI and five runs scored. Even so, Schneider has batted leadoff in eight of the last nine games for the Blue Jays and should continue to see everyday at bats. On the season, he's slashing .241/.350/.453 with six home runs, 24 RBI and 22 runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:37 pm
     
  • Davis Schneider goes deep in win over White Sox
    Davis Schneider slugged a two-run homer on Monday in the Blue Jays’ win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Schneider supplied a pair of insurance runs for Toronto with a ninth-inning blast off veteran reliever John Brebbia. It was his fifth round-tripper of the season and first time he’s left the yard since back on May 17. The 25-year-old has emerged as Toronto’s primary leadoff option over the last few weeks, which makes him fantasy-relevant for managers in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:55 pm
     
  • Idle versus lefty
    Manzardo is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Angels.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Manzardo will take a seat Sunday due to the Angels sending southpaw Reid Detmers to the mound. Manzardo started in the first two games of the series, and his six-game hitting streak was snapped in Saturday's 4-3 win. Jose Ramirez will serve as the designated hitter Sunday, while Gabriel Arias draws the start at third base. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:47 am
     
  • Goes deep again
    Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Ramirez is 12-for-33 (.364) with six homers and 14 RBI over his last eight games. He's also leading the majors with 51 RBI thanks to his recent surge. The third baseman hasn't reached the 30-homer mark in either of the last two seasons, but he's halfway there now with 15 through 51 contests, to go with a hearty .267/.314/.539 slash line, 35 runs scored, seven stolen bases, nine doubles and a triple.

  • Ramirez blasts 15th home run Saturday
    Jose Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Angels on Saturday.

    Advice: Ramirez now has 10 home runs, 26 RBI and only eight strikeouts in his last 19 games. He’s the first player to reach 50 RBI overall this season. Ramirez’s average is up to .267 and the home run was his 15th on the year. After getting off to a slow start, he’s come on strong lately and is on pace for another great season.

  • Swipes third bag
    Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: Getting the start at second base and batting seventh, Kiner-Falefa was the only Blue Jay to record multiple hits on an afternoon when offense was at a premium. The 29-year-old utility player has seven hits in the last four games, but that comes on the heels of an 0-for-20 swoon. On the season, Kiner-Falefa is slashing .264/.305/.382 with three homers, three steals, 13 RBI and 14 runs in 50 contests. Rotowire.com Saturday, 1:26 pm
