    Meyers went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI single and a run scored during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Colorado.

    Advice: Tuesday's effort marked Meyers' first three-hit game since May 19 and was his fourth game with at least three hits this season.

  • Salvages day with late homer
    Toglia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Toglia was hitless in his first three at-bats but saved his stat line in the ninth inning by taking Josh Hader yard on a solo homer. The first baseman has homered on back-to-back nights and has belted four long balls in his last 10 games, batting 10-for-39 (.256) with nine runs and nine RBI during that stretch.

  • Collects three hits
    Alvarez went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI single and a run during Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Angels.

    Advice: Alvarez was excellent in his first career start, clubbing a double in his first at-bat before being driven in by JJ Bleday and then plating Shea Langeliers on an infield single in the eighth. The 29-year-old had his contract selected Saturday, marking his first big league stint since entering the minors in 2016. With Abraham Toro (hamstring) on the injured list, Alvarez should have some opportunities at third base, though he'll have to compete with Tyler Nevin for playing time at the hot corner.

  • Mickey Moniak’s first grand slam propels Angels
    Mickey Moniak hit his first career grand slam Tuesday to lead the Angels past the A’s 7-5.

    Advice: Moniak’s slam was a homer in only six ballparks, says Statcast, but that was mostly because of its low trajectory; Moniak crushed the pitch, which left his bat at 107.9 mph. He’s earned himself some extra playing time by hitting .254/.333/.475 in 66 plate appearances this month. He came in at just .169/.208/.242 over the first two months. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:39 pm
