  • Hits two-run homer
    Brown went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Royals.

    Advice: Brown tied the game at 2-2 with his second-inning blast off Seth Lugo. The homer was Brown's fourth hit over 13 games in May -- he's batting just .138 for the month and .179 for the year. The outfielder has added a .546 OPS, four homers, 11 RBI, six runs scored, two stolen bases and three doubles through 120 plate appearances. Brown's poor hitting has cost him playing time recently, with Brent Rooker picking up playing time in left field at his expense. Brown can also play in right field, where he's competing with Tyler Nevin for at-bats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:22 pm
     
  • Notches RBI in return
    Buxton went 1-for-4 with a run and an RBI in Saturday's loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: Buxton was activated from the injured list Saturday after missing over two weeks due to right knee inflammation. The outfielder helped Minnesota avoid being shut out, plating the team's first run in the ninth inning with a single to right field. Buxton is slashing .250/.298/.385 with a home run, 12 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base through 104 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:19 pm
     
  • Homers in Saturday's win
    Isbel went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-3 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: The homer was Isbel's first since April 29. The outfielder has seen a dip in playing time in May, in part because he's hitting .222 (8-for-36) over 11 contests this month. Overall, he has a .218/.262/.361 slash line with four homers, three stolen bases, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored, three doubles and a triple over 127 plate appearances. Isbel will likely continue to be out of the lineup versus most southpaws, with Garrett Hampson or Dairon Blanco as options to pick up the short side of a platoon in center field.

  • Perfect at plate Saturday
    Freeman went 4-for-4 with a walk, a double, three runs, three RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 11-4 victory versus Minnesota.

    Advice: Freeman batted out of the leadoff spot for the sixth straight contest and broke out with the first four-hit game of his career. Among those knocks was a run-scoring double and a two-run single. Freeman is still batting just .221 on the season, but he may be rounding into form, as he's gone 8-for-17 with a 4:1 BB:K during his current five-game hitting streak. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:12 pm

  • Wenceel Perez drives in four runs to lead Tigers
    Wenceel Perez smacked a pair of triples and drove in four runs on Saturday night, leading the Tigers to a come-from-behind 8-3 victory over the Diamondbacks in Arizona.

    Advice: The 24-year-old outfielder walloped a two-out triple off of Zac Gallen in the opening inning, but was left stranded at third. He then cleared the bases with a two-out, three-run triple off of Joe Mantiply in the seventh that gave the Tigers their first lead of the day. He also tacked on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning. Perez has been a revelation for the Tigers so far this season, slashing .300/.373/.533 with three homers, 12 RBI and three stolen bases in his first 102 plate appearances at the big league level.

  • Adolis García collects 11th homer against Angels
    Adolis García swatted a solo homer to help the Rangers to a win in extra-innings Saturday.

    Advice: García swatted a solo homer in the sixth inning of Patrick Sandoval to get the Rangers on the board. That’s the 11th homer for the 31-year-old slugger, and the 35th RBI. García has been one of the more productive power-hitters in baseball this decade, and nothing has changed thus far in 2024. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:04 pm
     
  • Jo Adell homers in extra-innings loss to Rangers
    Jo Adell homered and walked twice in an extra-innings loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

    Advice: Adell took Jose Leclerc deep to give the Angels a 2-1 lead and Adell his eighth homer of the season. The 25-year-old has really impressed thus far in 2024, as the three-reach game now has his OPS up to .847 to go along with eight steals and 21 RBI over 108 at-bats. It’s too early for victory laps, but those who have believed in Adell since he was a prospect have to feel a little more sane watching this run. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:03 pm
     
  • Jake Meyers hits solo homer in loss to Brewers
    Jake Meyers hit a solo homer in a loss to the Brewers on Saturday.

    Advice: Meyers got the Astros to within a run with a solo homer in the fifth off of Bryse Wilson. The outfielder also singled twice for a three-hit game, and it bumps his average up to .286. He’s quietly put together a strong first third of the season even while the Astros have disappointed collectively. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:58 pm
     
  • Brown leaves the yard Saturday
    Seth Brown went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run against the Royals on Saturday.



    Advice: It was Brown’s fourth home run of the season. He’s not on the fantasy radar right now given his .179 average and .546 OPS. It was just two years ago that he hit 25 home runs with 11 stolen bases and a .230 average. It’s unlikely we’ll ever see that level of production from Brown again, though.
