  • 39-36-5 5th Place
    • Climbs above .200 again
      Rafaela went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Brewers.

      Advice: Rafaela's eighth-inning double put him in position to score the winning run. He has multiple hits in two straight games and has gone 7-for-22 (.318) over the last six. That's pushed his batting average to .208, the third time he's climbed above the Mendoza Line this season. Rafaela is a bit of conundrum. He leads the Red Sox in RBI (28) and is fifth in extra-base hits (16), but he's not exactly a good hitter. Boston manager Alex Cora told Alex Speier of The Boston Globe that Rafaela has "big moves" in his swing as he tries to hit for power -- how he loads the swing, the leg kick and the swing itself. For long-term success, Cora believes Rafaela needs to shorten his swing. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:45 am

    • Receiving breather Sunday
      Cruz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus Atlanta, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

      Advice: Lefty Chris Sale is taking the mound Sunday for Atlanta, and Cruz will head to the bench after starting the previous six games. The shortstop has been scuffling at the plate recently with a .488 OPS and 43.6 percent strikeout rate in his past nine contests. Alika Williams is starting at shortstop and batting ninth Sunday.

    • Gunnar Henderson hits 17th homer in Orioles’ win
      Gunnar Henderson collected his 17th homer and his fifth double Friday as the Orioles defeated the White Sox 6-4.

      Advice: Henderson is tied with Kyle Tucker for the major league lead in homers, one ahead of Aaron Judge. He’s also tied for third with four triples. On the other hand, he’s tied for 185th place in doubles with Luis Guillorme, Eguy Rosario and Danny Mendick, among many others. Rotoworld Friday, 11:16 pm

    • Drills 17th home run
      Henderson went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Friday's win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Henderson hammered a two-run shot during Baltimore's three-run fifth inning. The star infielder moved back into a tie with Houston's Kyle Tucker for the MLB home run lead. Henderson is slashing .272/.362/.607 with 26 extra-base hits and 37 RBI through 49 games. Surprisingly, he's hitting just .243 (18-for-74) this month. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:09 pm

    • Gunnar Henderson reaches three times in O’s loss
      Gunnar Henderson singled and walked twice on Wednesday in the Orioles’ loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: Henderson kicked off the scoring with an RBI single in the third inning and wound up reaching base safely in three of his five plate appearances. The 22-year-old franchise cornerstone is in the midst of one of the best stretches of his young career, batting .280/.419/.840 with four homers and one steal over his last seven games.

    • Oneil Cruz sets Statcast record on 3 hits in win
      Oneil Cruz went 3-for-5 with one RBI in a win over the Giants on Tuesday.

      Advice: All three of Cruz’s hits were blasted with a 121.5 mph double, a 120.4 mph single, and a 116.3 mph double. He’s now the first player in the Statcast era to have three hits in one game over 115 mph, and his 121.5 mph double is the hardest-hit ball in MLB action this year, topping the 120.4 mph single he hit earlier in the game today. That’s quite a performance. Cruz is 19-for-64 (.297) in May with four home runs, 10 runs scored, and 11 RBI. He does have 18 strikeouts in 16 games, but his production has certainly started to tick up and if stolen bases follow, we could see a full breakout. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:24 pm

    • Homers in win
      Rafaela went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Monday's 5-0 win over the Rays.

      Advice: Rafaela's two-run shot in the fifth inning was his fifth of the season and snapped an 0-for-16 skid. There have been several skids for Rafaela during his first full season in the majors; the 23-year-old is batting just .195 through 47 games. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:38 am

    • Accounts for offense in loss
      Henderson went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: Henderson has homered in four straight games and continues to lead the majors with 16 long balls. The shortstop's sixth-inning blast off Sonny Gray was all the runs the Orioles could muster Monday. Henderson stumbled a bit in the middle of May, but he's quickly returned to form and is now sporting a .271/.351/.610 slash line with 34 RBI, 35 runs scored and seven stolen bases over 45 contests.
