  • Logan O’Hoppe fills up box score, walks off Astros
    Logan O’Hoppe had a monster day at the dish in Sunday’s 9-7 victory over the Astros, going 4-for-5 with a double and a walk-off home run.

    Advice: The hard-hitting 24-year-old backstop reached on an error to start the sixth inning, swiped second base and scored on an RBI single off the bat of Mickey Moniak. He then led off the eighth inning with a double and scored on an RBI double by Zach Neto as the Angels rallied to tie the game. O’Hoppe saved the best for last though, tagging Astros’ closer Josh Hader for a 364-foot (96.4 mph EV) two-run blast on the first pitch that he saw in the ninth inning — sending the home faithful into a frenzy. With his four-hit afternoon, O’Hoppe is now hitting .269/.322/.446 with eight homers, 22 RBI and one solitary stolen base. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
     
  • Resumes rehab in Brooklyn
    Alvarez (thumb) resumed his rehab assignment Sunday with High-A Brooklyn, starting at catcher while going 0-for-5 in a 7-6 loss to Aberdeen.

    Advice: After going 3-for-14 with a home run and three walks across the first five games of his rehab assignment, Alvarez had been out of the Brooklyn lineup for each of the previous three days while tending to a family matter in his native Venezuela. He rejoined Brooklyn for its final game of the week, and though he came up empty at the plate, getting additional at-bats under his belt is the more pressing concern for Alvarez as he looks to prove he's made a full recovery from the left thumb surgery he underwent in late April. If the Mets are comfortable with Alvarez's health coming out of Sunday's contest, he could be activated from the 10-day injured list for the start of the big club's series with the Marlins that begins Tuesday.

  • Smashes grand slam
    Rutschman went 3-for-5 with a grand slam and two RBI singles during Sunday's 9-2 win over the Rays.

    Advice: Rutschman busted the game open with his second career grand slam, giving the Orioles a 9-2 lead in the eighth inning. His contributions didn't end there, driving in two more batters with RBI singles in the third and seventh innings. His six total RBI were a career high, surpassing his previous best of four. Rutschman has generated a hit in 12 of his last 13 games, batting .339 with four home runs and 16 RBI with a 14.8 percent strikeout rate. Rotowire.com Today, 2:45 pm
     
  • Keibert Ruiz drives in four in win over ATL
    Keibert Ruiz went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in a win over the Braves on Sunday.

    Advice: With the Nationals up 1-0 in the fourth inning, Ruiz turned on an inside fastball from Hurston Waldrep crushing it 100.3 mph on a line for a three-run homer. It was Ruiz’s fourth home run of the season and a good reminder that he does have a bit of pop in his bat. The 25-year-old was off to a slow start in June, but had turned the corner in May after missing the start of the season with an illness. While his season-long stats don’t look great, but remains on the radar in one-catcher formats. Rotoworld Today, 2:06 pm
     
  • Adley Rutschman drives in six runs in win
    Adley Rutschman went 3-for-5 with a home run and six RBI in a 9-2 win over the Rays on Sunday.

    Advice: The 26-year-old got the scoring started with an RBI single in the third inning before adding another RBI single in the 7th to give the Orioles a two-run lead and then a grand slam in the eighth inning to break the game wide open. Rutschman now has 13 home runs and 49 RBI on the season while hitting .306 and is back to staking his claim as the top fantasy catcher in baseball. Rotoworld Today, 1:53 pm
     
  • Jake Rogers hits three-run homer in rout
    Jake Rogers went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer against the Brewers on Sunday.

    Advice: Three of Rogers’ four hits this month have been homers, and he’s hit .379 in 29 at-bats over his last 10 games, raising his average from .189 to .233. He’s been playing a little less than Carson Kelly in recent weeks, but it seems like that should change while he’s hot. Rotoworld Today, 1:19 pm
     
  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Wells has gone 2-for-12 with two RBI and six strikeouts through four games in June, and he'll take a seat for Sunday's series finale. Jose Trevino will work behind the plate and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:07 pm
     
  • Rejoining lineup Sunday
    Moreno (illness) is starting behind the plate and batting eighth Sunday at San Diego.

    Advice: The 24-year-old catcher was a late scratch Saturday due to an illness but is back in the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Moreno struggled to a .220/.292/.288 slash line during May but has rebounded early in June with a .761 OPS through seven contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:05 am
