  • Goes yard in blowout loss
    Contreras went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 14-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Contreras provided a positive start for the Cardinals with his first-inning blast, but it quickly went off the rails for the home team after that. The catcher saw his 11-game hitting streak end Monday, but he's still been one of the Cardinals' most consistent bats so far. He's slashing .292/.418/.523 with three homers, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, six doubles and a stolen base over 19 contests. Manager Oliver Marmol has committed to getting both Contreras and Ivan Herrera regular at-bats, so they have often shared catcher and designated hitter in recent weeks.

  • Keeps raking
    Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-0 win against the Rangers.

    Advice: Raleigh tagged Dane Dunning for a two-run shot in the first inning to plate J.P. Crawford, marking the fourth long ball of his last five appearances. During that stretch, Raleigh is batting .474 with nine RBI, five runs scored and three multi-hit games. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Puts tally in home run column
    Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: After launching 60 combined homers in his first two MLB seasons, Rodriguez was homerless through 22 games in 2024 before tagging Dane Dunning for a two-run shot Tuesday. Despite his lack of long balls, Rodriguez has been a strong fantasy producer, having racked up five multi-hit games and four stolen bases in his last seven appearances.

  • Fans seven in loss
    Dunning (2-2) took the loss Tuesday against Seattle, allowing four runs on four hits and three walks across 4.1 innings. He struck out seven.

    Advice: Dunning was hit hard Tuesday, surrendering four extra-base hits, including a pair of two-run home runs by Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh. He's allowed a home run in all five of his starts this season and is tied for the second-most homers allowed in MLB (seven). Despite his power troubles, Dunning has been a quality source of strikeouts, punching out seven batters in three of his five starts this season. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Reds on Sunday.

  • Brendan Rodgers hits grand slam in Rockies’ win
    Brendan Rodgers’ first homer of the year was a grand slam Tuesday to lead the Rockies past the Padres 7-4.

    Advice: It was his first career slam. Rodgers is batting just .197/.230/.324 in 74 plate appearances, but his contact numbers are a little better than usual and, due to some chilly temps, Coors Field hasn’t played like Coors Field just yet. He still might offer some mixed-league value in the end. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
     
  • Justin Lawrence gets save in rare Rockies’ win
    Justin Lawrence turned in a scoreless ninth for his first save Tuesday against the Padres.

    Advice: It’s just the second save by a Rockies pitcher this season. Jake Bird had the other one on Apr. 8, for getting one out in a game that wasn’t a save situation at the beginning of the ninth. Lawrence has looked better than Tyler Kinley thus far and is probably the favorite for saves in Colorado for now, though Victor Vodnik might be the choice in the long run. We’d still suggest staying away from the situation for now. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
     
  • Michael King gets roughed up in fourth in loss
    Michael King was tagged for six runs — four earned — in 3 2/3 innings by the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Advice: King’s first start at Coors Field was going OK until the fourth, when two singles, an error and a grand slam gave the Rockies the lead. Alas, that still wasn’t the end of it, as King went on to allow a single, a double, an intentional walk and an unintentional walk to push in another run. He was finally pulled at that point, and Stephen Kolek was able to strand the bases loaded. King dropped to 2-2 with a 4.11 ERA. He’s still a decent enough play versus the Phillies next time out.

  • Goes 6.2 scoreless
    Gilbert (2-0) picked up the win Tuesday against Texas, allowing two hits and four walks across 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out six.

    Advice: Gilbert surpassed six innings pitched for the fourth time in five starts this season, notching his first scoreless outing of the campaign. He battled issues with command and walked a pair of batters in the first but otherwise kept himself out of danger. He was removed from the contest with runners on first and third but was saved by Ryne Stanek, who forced Leody Taveras into an inning-ending groundout. Gilbert has posted four quality starts this season and boasts the most innings pitched (33.2) of anybody with fewer than six starts. He's scheduled for a Sunday start against Arizona.

  • Three hits, homer in win
    Espinal went 3-for-4 with a home run and two total RBI in Tuesday's 8-1 victory over the Phillies.

    Advice: After picking up a pair of base hits earlier in the game, Espinal delivered the final blow in Cincinnati's 8-1 victory, smacking a solo home run off Ricardo Pinto in the eighth inning, his first of the season. It's just the second multi-hit game of the year for the 29-year-old Espinal -- he'd been stuck in a 1-for-19 slump over his previous seven contests. Overall, he's slashing .178/.264/.267 with seven RBI, three runs scored and three stolen bases across 17 games. While Espinal's performance Tuesday was encouraging, he'll likely retreat to a bench role when Jonathan India (illness) is ready to return. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
