  • Three extra-base hits in win
    Alvarez went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, two doubles and two total runs scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Alvarez is seeing the ball well lately, going 19-for-43 (.442) with four homers, five doubles, 11 RBI and just three strikeouts over his last 11 contests. He's even chipped in a pair of stolen bases in that span. Alvarez is up to 13 homers, 33 RBI, 37 runs scored, 15 doubles and three steals while slashing .296/.369/.514 over 64 contests. His spot in the lineup is virtually never in question, but he's picked up more time in left field recently with Chas McCormick sliding over to right to cover for the absence of Kyle Tucker (lower leg).

  • Collects 13th steal
    Blanco stole a base and scored one run in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Mariners.

    Advice: Blanco got his first game action since June 2 and did what he does best: make an impact with speed. The steal was his second in his last three games, but he's not seeing much playing time even with the Royals getting anemic batting lines from their regular outfielders. For the season, Blanco has 13 thefts to go with one home run, four RBI, 17 runs scored and a .255/.323/.364 slash line over 63 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Tallies three hits in victory
    Blackmon went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, two runs and a stolen base in a 6-5 win against the Cardinals on Saturday.

    Advice: Blackmon catalyzed Colorado's offense from the leadoff spot, scoring the team's first run following a first-inning single and crossing the plate again after hitting a double and stealing third base in the seventh. The veteran outfielder has been swinging a hot bat of late, notching three multi-hit performances over his past four contests and going 9-for-16 overall during that span. Blackmon has also swiped a bag in each of his past two games and already has five thefts this season, more than he has collected in any campaign since he swiped 12 bags in 2018.

  • Nabs rare steal
    Velazquez went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Mariners.

    Advice: Velazquez has gone just 2-for-15 with three walks over five games in June. The outfielder was able to make a rare impact with his legs Saturday, picking up his second steal of the campaign. His power started to come around in late May but has vanished again in June, and he's at a middling .212/.283/.402 slash line with eight home runs, 25 RBI and 29 runs scored through 198 plate appearances this season.

  • Back into lineup
    McCormick went 1-for-4 with a triple and a run scored Saturday against the Angels.

    Advice: McCormick returned to the starting lineup after Trey Cabbage got the nod over him in each of Houston's last two games. It remains to be seen how the Astros allocate playing time moving forward between the trio of Mauricio Dubon, McCormick and Cabbage, as that group will primarily cover two outfield positions while Kyle Tucker (shin) is sidelined.

  • Teoscar Hernández hits two homers, drives in six
    Teoscar Hernández hit two homers, drove in six runs and stole a base Saturday in an 11-3 win over the Yankees for the Dodgers.

    Advice: This qualifies as a big fantasy night, objectively. The outfielder got the Dodgers on the board with a solo shot off Nestor Cortes in the second, and he added a grand slam in the eighth to extend the Los Angeles lead to 8-2. The 31-year-old is up to 15 homers on the season with an .831 OPS and 47 RBI over 252 at-bats. There’ll be spells that Hernández drives fantasy managers crazy because of his shaky approach, but there’s enough games like this to deal with those spurts. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Another pair of steals
    Doyle went 1-for-4 with a walk, an RBI, a run scored and two stolen bases Saturday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Doyle notably hit second in the lineup for the first time since May 4, as Ezequiel Tovar shifted to third as the Rockies deal with several injuries to regular starters. Doyle delivered a strong line, highlighted by a pair of steals to bring his total on the season to 17. He also has two steals in two of his last three starts. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
