  • Five RBI in win
    Matos went 3-for-5 with two doubles and five RBI in Friday's 10-5 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Matos enjoyed one of the best games of his career, driving in at least a run with each of his hits. He added an RBI on a groundout in the seventh inning as well. The 22-year-old is hitting .333 (7-for-21) with 11 RBI and three extra-base hits over his first six contests this season. With Jung Hoo Lee (shoulder) out for the year, Matos has a golden opportunity to claim a full-time major-league job if he can keep hitting well. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Luis Matos brings in five runs in win over Rockies
    Luis Matos drove in five runs and collected three hits in a 10-5 win Friday over the Rockies.

    Advice: Matos has certainly looked the part since being recalled from the injured list, and Friday was (obviously) no exception. The 22-year-old doubled twice, and the five-RBI night gives him a streak of four-consecutive games with runs driven in. Matos failed in his time with the Giants in 2023, but it’s not a question of talent with the outfielder. He’s worth a speculative add in deeper redraft leagues. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago
     
  • Pops homer Friday
    Fairchild went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-3 loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Fairchild has driven in a run in each of his last three games. All three of his homers this season have come since April 30, though his playing time remains sporadic as a short-side platoon option all around the outfield. He's slashing a mediocre .213/.292/.350 with 11 RBI, 11 runs scored, five stolen bases and two doubles over 90 plate appearances in 2024. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
     
  • Homers in return
    Heyward went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a hit-by-pitch in Friday's 7-3 win over the Reds.

    Advice: Heyward returned from a back injury that cost him nearly seven weeks. He delivered a big hit with his eighth-inning blast, which was his first homer in five games this season. The outfielder has added four RBI and four runs scored. Heyward is likely to command at least a strong-side platoon role in right field moving forward, which is one he excelled in with a .269/.340/.473 slash line over 374 plate appearances in 2023.

  • Belts another leadoff homer
    Betts went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Friday's 7-3 win over the Reds.

    Advice: Betts' last two homers have been of the leadoff variety, and they're his only two long balls in May. He's hitting .283 this month, though that's dropped his season-long average to a still-stunning .341 through 47 contests. Betts has added eight homers, 29 RBI, 40 runs scored, eight stolen bases, 11 doubles and three triples over 218 plate appearances while serving as the everyday leadoff hitter.

  • Jason Heyward homers in return from injured list
    Jason Heyward hit a two-run homer against the Reds on Friday.

    Advice: Heyward’s return from the injured list Friday was a successful one, as he took Alexis Diaz deep for his first homer of the 2024 season. He should see starts against right-handed pitching, but even in this loaded Dodger lineup, he’s a tough sell as a fantasy option in season leagues. Rotoworld Today, 9:40 pm
     
  • Clubs fifth homer
    Burleson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional RBi in Friday's 10-6 win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Burleson popped a go-ahead solo shot in the fourth inning and added an RBI single in the seventh. The 25-year-old has multiple hits in three straight games, which is only strengthening his claim for playing time between designated hitter, the corner outfield spots and first base. Burleson is up to five homers, 17 RBI, nine runs scored, one stolen base and a .286/.316/.473 slash line through 117 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:37 pm

  • Kerry Carpenter drives in four in blowout win
    Kerry Carpenter drove in four runs while going 2-for-5 in a blowout win Friday over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Carpenter tripled in two runs in the third and doubled home a pair more in the fifth. The 26-year-old has plated 22 runs in 44 games for the Tigers — a pace of 81 for the season — while hitting .276 with an .848 OPS. You can do a lot worse. Rotoworld Today, 9:23 pm
     
  • Racks up four RBI
    Carpenter went 2-for-5 with a triple, a double, four RBI and one run scored in Friday's 13-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Carpenter knocked in two runs with a third-inning triple and added a two-run double to cap a six-run rally in the fifth. The outfielder has gone 9-for-26 (.346) with seven extra-base hits and seven RBI over his last seven contests. That's put him at a .276/.328/.520 slash line with five home runs, 22 RBI, 15 runs scored, nine doubles and three triples through 41 contests as one of the Tigers' most productive hitters this season.
