  • Knocks three hits
    De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's win over Cleveland.

    Advice: De La Cruz put the Marlins on the board with his solo shot in the third inning and later smacked another extra-base hit. He's gone deep 11 times this season, though just two of those have come in his last 17 contests. He's slashing .252/.306/.427 with 21 extra-base hits and 28 RBI through 268 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
  • Picks up win
    Scott (5-4) struck out two batters over 1.2 perfect frames and earned a win over the Guardians on Friday.

    Advice: Scott entered a tie game in the eighth inning and forced a double play to escape the first-and-third jam he inherited. He then struck out two in the ninth inning before Miami walked it off in the bottom of the frame. After some early season struggles, Scott has now gone 18 straight innings without allowing an earned run. His season ERA has fallen to 1.40 with a 27:19 K:BB through 25.2 innings.

  • Ozuna smacks two doubles in loss Friday
    Marcell Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two doubles against the Nationals on Friday.

    Advice: On a night when the Braves offense had only four hits against Nationals starter Jake Irvin, Ozuna managed to double off Irvin twice. Ozuna is up to .316 on the season and could be in competition with Shohei Ohtani for the triple crown in the National League if he keeps this up. Rotoworld Today, 7:16 pm
  • Bryan De La Cruz homers, doubles in Marlins’ win
    Bryan De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with a homer and a double Friday to lead the Marlins to a 3-2 win over the Guardians.

    Advice: De La Cruz’s hits all left his bat at over 102 mph. He’s batting .252/.306/.427 for the season, which is certainly good enough to keep him in the Marlins lineup but isn’t great for someone who has turned out to be a pretty bad left fielder (he’s currently DHing about two-thirds of the time). One imagines he’ll be one of the many Miami players available in trade talks next month. Rotoworld Today, 7:13 pm
  • Tanner Scott notches fifth win for Marlins
    Tanner Scott pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings and notched a win in relief Friday against the Guardians.

    Advice: Scott came into a tie game in the eighth and stayed in to finish after the Marlins took a one-run lead. It’s his fifth win of the year, all coming since Apr. 30. Even though he’s very much Miami’s closer, he has just three saves during that same five-week span. Rotoworld Today, 7:13 pm
  • Logan Allen surrenders two runs to Marlins
    Logan Allen yielded two runs through six innings Friday in a no-decision against the Marlins.

    Advice: Allen bounced back after getting lit up by the Rockies last time out. He’s one out shy of having four quality starts in five tries (3 ER in 5 2/3 IP vs. the Angels on May 24), but there’s nothing much to get excited about here. His stuff isn’t quite as good as it was last year. Rotoworld Today, 7:13 pm
  • Brayan Rocchio hits first major league homer
    Brayan Rocchio supplied both Guardians runs with his first big-league homeer Friday in a loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: The homer came in his 276th career plate appearance. He has 192 so far this year, and he’s driven in a total of 11 runs. On the plus side, his defensive numbers have improved in recent weeks, and thanks to a fine 12% walk ate, his .314 OBP isn’t dreadful. Still, it’s hard to see where the fantasy upside might come from here. Rotoworld Today, 7:13 pm
  • Abrams steals ninth base, scores run in win Friday
    CJ Abrams went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base against the Braves on Friday.

    Advice: Abrams’ steal was his ninth of the season. After racking up 47 steals last year, fantasy managers sure would like to see him run more this year. The double was also nice to see as Abrams continues to hit better and for more power than most people expected when he was a prospect. Rotoworld Today, 7:13 pm

  • Finnegan picks up 17th save against Braves Friday
    Kyle Finnegan tossed a scoreless ninth inning and picked up the save against the Braves on Friday.

    Advice: The save was Finnegan’s 17th of the season. He added two strikeouts in the process. His ERA is now 1.80 on the season. Finnegan has come out of nowhere to be one of the best closers in all of fantasy this season. Rotoworld Today, 7:10 pm
