  • Keeps flashing power
    Lee went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Guardians.

    Advice: Lee took Carlos Carrasco deep in the seventh inning to tally his fourth home run of the season, three of which have come in his last 11 games. He's gone 11-for-33 overall in that span, also chipping in five RBI and four runs scored. Lee remains in a near even split for playing time with Martin Maldonado behind the plate.

  • Racks up three hits in win
    Melendez went 3-for-4 with a triple in Friday's 2-1 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Melendez hasn't been able to string good games together, but he's 7-for-24 (.292) over eight games in May. The outfielder was able to get aboard in the ninth inning before Garrett Hampson entered as a pinch runner and scored on Adam Frazier's home run. Melendez is up to a .202/.260/.395 slash line with four homers, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored, six doubles, two triples and two stolen bases through 123 plate appearances. Melendez continues to be an anchor for batting average in fantasy, but he's still got intriguing power in formats where he's still catcher-eligible despite not playing behind the dish this season.

  • Homer, double in win
    Campusano went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Campusano opened the scoring with a third-inning solo shot. He added a double in the 10th, and pinch runner Tyler Wade scored one Luis Arraez's walk-off single. Campusano has reached base safely in his last six games, going 7-for-19 (.368) with two walks and six RBI in that span. The catcher is up to three homers, 10 doubles, 23 RBI, 17 runs scored and a .283/.323/.442 slash line through 35 contests this season in a starting role behind the plate.

  • Scores thrice in win
    Contreras went 1-for-3 with two walks and three runs scored in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Contreras was the offensive catalyst for the Brewers on Friday night as he crossed the plate a team-high three times. He also collected his third multi-walk game of the season, which may become a more common occurrence given his breakout season. The 26-year-old catcher is slashing .340/.420/.520 with five homers, 30 RBI and 35 runs scored over 174 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:58 pm
     
  • Luis Campusano homers in victory over Dodgers
    Luis Campusano hit a solo homer in a victory Friday over the Dodgers for the Padres.

    Advice: Campusano got the only hit of the game for the Padres while Tyler Glasnow was in the game, and it was a solo homer to give San Diego a 1-0 lead. The 25-year-old catcher remains a solid — and quite frankly, underrated — catching option, as he’s hit three homers, driven in 23 runs and slashed .283/.323/.442. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:58 pm
     
  • Idle Friday
    O'Hoppe isn't in the Angels' lineup Friday versus the Royals.

    Advice: O'Hoppe will get a breather Friday after tallying six hits across his last three games. While he rests, Matt Thaiss will fill in as Los Angeles' backstop and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:11 pm
     
  • Patrick Bailey (concussion) to return on Saturday
    Patrick Bailey (concussion) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Saturday.

    Advice: The 24-year-old backstop caught a bullpen session for Blake Snell on Friday without any issues, which was the final hurdle to clear before returning. Expect Jakson Reetz to be optioned back to Triple-A Sacramento to clear a spot on the active roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:47 pm
     
  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Pirates transferred Delay (knee) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Delay will give up his spot on the 40-man roster in order to make room for Daulton Jefferies, who was acquired in a trade with the Giants on Friday. Delay was already expected to be out until July after undergoing knee surgery in April, so his move to the 60-day IL has virtually no impact on his return timeline. He has resumed catching during bullpen sessions, but he still has a long way to go before returning to the Pirates' lineup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:17 pm

  • Not among starters
    Naylor is not included in the starting lineup for Friday's outing against the White Sox.

    Advice: The lefty catcher will get some rest as the Guardians take on southpaw starter Garrett Crochet. Austin Hedges will take over at catcher and bat ninth in place of Naylor. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:24 pm
