  • Goes deep in loss
    Cronenworth went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a double in Sunday's loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Cronenworth doubled his first time up and then would briefly put the Padres in front with a two-run shot to right off Taijuan Walker in the third. The 30-year-old has found his bat lately with seven hits and five RBI over his last five games. For the year, he's now slashing .264/.344/.453 with four homers, 19 RBI, 14 runs and a 12:19 BB:K in 122 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:35 am
     
  • Homers as pinch hitter
    Campusano went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Campusano entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Kyle Higashioka in the seventh and instantly made an impact, swatting a three-run shot to left center off Taijuan Walker to bring the Padres within one run. It was only his second home run of the year, but the 25-year-old is enjoying a productive first month of the season, slashing .290/.320/.430 with nine extra-base hits, 17 RBI, 13 runs and a 4:11 BB:K in 97 plate appearances as the Padres primary backstop.

  • Earns win despite shaky debut
    Walker (1-0) picked up the win over the Padres on Sunday, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out four over 6.1 innings.

    Advice: The Padres piled on all six of their runs in just two innings. They got to Walker for three runs in the third with Fernando Tatis doubling home Jurickson Profar before coming home on a two-run blast from Jake Cronenworth. Walker was able to cruise into the seventh where he ran into more trouble, as the Padres added three more runs on a home run from Luis Campusano to make it a 7-6 game. His day would end there and he was able to squeak by with an ugly win. He'll look for some better results next time and is projected to take the mound next weekend against the Giants.

  • Takes care of business in ninth
    Alvarado pitched a perfect ninth to pick up the save in an 8-6 win over the Padres on Sunday. He struck out two.

    Advice: Alvarado punched out Eguy Rosario and Luis Campusano before sealing the deal on a line out from Jurickson Profar for his first save since April 20. Alvarado has converted all five of his save chances, though he has an inflated ERA after giving up five runs in just two-thirds of an inning in his first appearance of the season. The hard-throwing lefty owns a 5.06 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 12:7 K:BB in 10.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 3:16 am
     
  • Two homer day in win
    Stott went 2-for-3 with two home runs, four RBI, three runs and a steal in Sunday's win over the Padres.

    Advice: Stott homered in each of his first two at-bats. He opened up the scoring with a two-run blast in the second and mirrored that with another two-run shot in the fourth. He later reached on a fielder's choice in the eighth and swiped second before eventually coming around to score. Stott has found his bat as of late, tallying eight RBI over his last five games, though he still seems to be stuck on the strong side of a platoon despite his career batting stats being better against lefties. For the year, the 26-year-old is now slashing .226/.295/.369 with three homers, 14 RBI, 12 runs, four steals and an 8:17 BB:K in 95 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:13 am
     
  • Plates three runs in win
    Realmuto went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and three RBI in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Padres.

    Advice: Realmuto won the battle against Michael King in the sixth, sending a 421-foot blast to left center to put the Phillies up 6-3. He gave them some additional insurance with an RBI single in the seventh as well. Realmuto's now hit safely in six of his last seven games and has five RBI over his last three. For the year, he's slashing .245/.292/.429 with five homers, 14 RBI, 14 runs and a 6:28 BB:K in 106 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:06 am

    Tyler O’Neill delivered a walk-off RBI single in the ninth inning on Sunday, propelling the Red Sox to a 5-4 victory over the visiting Cubs.

    Advice: With runners at the corners and no one out in the ninth inning, O’Neill blooped a splitter from Mark Leiter Jr. off of the outstretched glove of Dansby Swanson and into left field to plate Jarren Duran with the game-winning run. It was his only hit in four at-bats on the evening, though he also drew a walk in the contest. For the season, the 28-year-old slugger is now hitting .329/.447/.729 with nine long balls, 12 RBI and a stolen base. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:05 pm
     
  • Jarren Duran plates two as Red Sox defeat Cubs
    Jarren Duran went 1-for-4 with a pair of RBI and a run scored as the Red Sox walked off the Cubs on Sunday night in Boston.

    Advice: Duran delivered a big pair of insurance runs in the sixth inning with a two-out, two-run triple off of Yency Almonte. He also worked a walk off of Mark Leiter Jr. to begin the ninth inning, then scored the game-winning run on Tyler O’Neill’s walk-off single. On the season, the speedy 27-year-old outfielder is now hitting .252/.321/.374 with a homer, 13 RBI and eight stolen bases through his first 29 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:58 pm
     
  • Mike Tauchman belts game-tying homer in eighth
    Mike Tauchman belted a game-tying three-run homer in the eighth inning on Sunday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Cubs past the Red Sox.

    Advice: The Cubs entered the eighth inning trailing 4-1 on Sunday night, but they started a rally as Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nico Hoerner started the frame with singles and Tauchman followed with a 402-foot (104.3 mph EV) three-run shot that tied things up at 4-4. That would be the extent of their offense though. Tauchman finished the night 2-for-4 and is now hitting a healthy .294/.429/.500 with three homers, 10 RBI and one stolen base on the season.
