Nick Gonzales lifts homer in blowout loss to COLNick Gonzales homered and drove home two runs in a loss to the Rockies on Saturday.
Advice: Gonzales tied the game at 1-1 with a solo homer off Ty Blach in the fourth frame. The former top prospect has been able to pick up five homers in his 117 at-bats, and that roundtripper along with an RBI on a fielder’s choice give him 25 on the year.

Bobby Witt Jr. steals 20th base of year in victoryBobby Witt Jr. stole a base while going 2-for-5 in a victory for the Royals over the Dodgers on Saturday.
Advice: Witt Jr. also drove in a run with his single in the seventh, and it gave the Royals a 6-2 cushion. The star shortstop’s theft gives him 20 on the season, and there’s a good chance he’s going to pass the 49 swipes that he picked up in 2023. No one has helped fantasy managers fill categories more than Witt Jr. in 2024. RotoworldBobby Witt Jr.KC - SSW, 5-3 vs OAK -
Homers again in winThomas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in a 4-0 win over the Marlins on Saturday.
Advice: Thomas doubled and scored a run in the first inning then added a solo home run in the third. The home run was Thomas' second in as many days, and he now has a nine-game hit streak dating back to June 6. Since returning from a knee injury May 27, Thomas is hitting .301 with four home runs and five stolen bases in 73 at-bats. Rotowire.comLane ThomasWSH - OFL, 3-4 @PHI -
Brenton Doyle scratched with knee issue SaturdayBrenton Doyle was scratched from the Rockies’ starting lineup on Saturday night due to left patella tendinitis.
Advice: The fact that he was in the team’s initial lineup before getting scratched bodes well for his availability moving forward. Doyle should be considered day-to-day. Michael Toglia will start in his place in right field and will bat sixth for the Rockies on Saturday night against Jared Jones and the Pirates. RotoworldBrenton DoyleCOL - OFL, 4-14 @SF -
Scratched from lineupDoyle was scratched from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Pirates with left patella tendinitis, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.
Advice: Doyle was slated to bat second and play center field Saturday, but he's been removed from the starting lineup with left knee pain. Instead, Jake Cave will slide to center, Michael Toglia will play right and Elehuris Montero will enter the lineup at first base. Rotowire.comBrenton DoyleCOL - OFL, 4-14 @SF -
Lane Thomas goes yard in win over MarlinsLane Thomas went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored against the Marlins on Saturday.
Advice: Thomas doubled in the first inning and scored on a sacrifice fly by Joey Meneses to put the Nationals on the board. He then launched a solo homer in the third, his second straight day going yard. The 28-year-old outfielder is hitting .238/.300/.388 with six homers, 22 RBI, and 16 steals across 180 plate appearances. RotoworldLane ThomasWSH - OFL, 3-4 @PHI -
Adds steal FridayGimenez went 2-for-4 with one RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.
Advice: Gimenez has two steals over his last three games, giving him 11 thefts on the year. The second baseman has struggled at the plate in June, batting .206 (7-for-34) over eight contests, but he continues to see a starting role even after a recent run of the Guardians facing four left-handed starters in a six-game span. For the season, Gimenez is slashing .266/.320/.363 with four home runs, 35 RBI, 35 runs scored, 10 doubles and one triple. Rotowire.comAndrés GiménezCLE - 2BW, 11-4 vs MIN -
Nursing neck issueVerlander was scratched from his start Saturday versus the Tigers due to neck discomfort, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.
Advice: Verlander was geared up to face his former team Saturday, but he'll now likely have to have his turn in the rotation skipped completely as a result of the neck issue. With Sunday's scheduled starter Spencer Arrighetti now pushed up to toe the rubber Saturday, Houston will likely have to look outside the major-league roster for a fill-in starter Sunday. Left-hander Eric Lauer is with Triple-A Sugar Land and could be an option to be called up. It's unclear whether or not Verlander's injury will require a stint on the injured list, but for now the 41-year-old's next opportunity to return to the mound appears to be next weekend in Baltimore at the earliest.

Justin Verlander scratched due to neck discomfortJustin Verlander was scratched from Saturday’s start against the Tigers due to neck discomfort.
Advice: No word yet on the severity of the neck ailment that led to Verlander being scratched from a highly-anticipated outing against his former team, but Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters they don’t believe it’s an injured list situation. Espada added that the 41-year-old veteran righty has been pitching through neck soreness for the last two or three weeks, which certainly helps explain his recent struggles. It’ll be rookie Spencer Arrighetti taking the ball in his place. There should be an additional update on his status at some point this weekend. He’ll presumably undergo some additional testing to determine the extent of the lingering issue. Stay tuned. RotoworldJustin VerlanderHOU - SPL, 2-4 vs MIL
