  • Swipes two bags
    Happ went 1-for-3 with a double, three RBI, two walks and two stolen bases in Sunday's 4-2 win over Cincinnati.

    Advice: Happ slugged a bases-clearing double in the first inning and stole multiple bases for the first time this season. The switch-hitting Happ has now collected three steals over his past five games, upping his season total to five. If Happ can continue his recent success on the basepaths, his fantasy value will receive a tremendous boost. On the season, the 29-year-old is batting .222 with six home runs, 30 RBI, 31 runs scored and five stolen bases across 258 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:51 pm

  • Picks up steal in win
    Mullins went 2-for-4 with a triple, a stolen base and one run scored in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Rays.

    Advice: Mullins entered Sunday 0-for-22 over his last eight games. He was able to break the drought with a fifth-inning single before adding a leadoff triple in the seventh. The outfielder has two steals over his last four contests even amid his deep slump. Mullins is slashing just .178/.227/.317 with 13 steals, six home runs, 22 RBI and 25 runs scored over 194 plate appearances this season. He's picked up extra work while Austin Hays (ribs) has been limited to a bench role, but Mullins is likely to see a smaller role once the Orioles' outfield is back to full health.

  • Ian Happ knocks in three, steals two bases in win
    Ian Happ delivered a three-run double, walked twice and stole two bases Sunday as the Cubs topped the Reds 4-2.

    Advice: It’s Happ’s 10th multi-RBI game of the year, which is kind of interesting because he has only 30 RBI total. Just four times in 61 games this year has he driven in a lone run. The two steals pushed his season total to five. It’s the third time in his career that he’s swiped two bases in a game. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:08 pm

  • Mullins has two hits, stolen base in win
    Cedric Mullins went 2-for-4 with a triple and a steal in a win over the Rays on Sunday.

    Advice: These were the first hits Mullins has had in June, now going 2-for-18 on the month. He does have 13 steals on the season now, so his speed remains fantasy-relevant. He has started the last three games for the Orioles as Austin Hays battles an injury, but Mullins has just four games during the week as Colton Cowser has been getting a chance to play center field more often. Mullins isn’t bringing much to the table aside from speed and with his playing time now coming into question, it’s hard to see holding onto him outside of the deepest formats.

  • J.D. Martinez drives in pair in win over Phillies
    J.D. Martinez drove in a pair of runs in a victory over the Phillies on Sunday.

    Advice: Martinez tied the game at 3-3 with a two-run single in the sixth inning. The 36-year-old has driven in 18 runs since joining the Mets near the end of April and slashed .271/.323/.444 in the process. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:40 am
     
  • Two hits, stolen base in loss
    Bellinger went 2-for-5 with a run and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Bellinger reached on a two-out single in the first inning, and he then stole second and came around to score on a Dansby Swanson double. It was just Bellinger's third stolen base of the season after he swiped a career-best 20 bags last season. The 28-year-old is heating up at the dish with seven multi-hit efforts over his last 14 games, and he's accounted for all three of his steals over that stretch. Rotowire.com Saturday, 6:57 pm

  • Corbin Carroll records three hits in Arizona’s win
    Corbin Carroll went 3-for-5 with a double, a steal and two runs scored as the Diamondbacks edged the Padres 4-3 on Thursday.

    Advice: It’s just Carroll’s second three-hit game of the year. All three of Carroll’s hits were legit, leaving his bat on a line at 108, 106 and 99 mph. It’s definitely his most encouraging game in weeks and maybe of the entire season. At .201, he finished the game over the Mendoza Line for the first time since May 12.

  • Nabs 10th steal
    Carroll went 3-for-5 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Padres.

    Advice: Carroll's three-hit effort got his batting average over .200 for the first time since May 12. He's opened June by going 5-for-21 (.238) over six contests, and his steal Thursday was his first since May 25. The outfielder is slashing .201/.284/.291 with two home runs, 10 thefts, 20 RBI, 30 runs scored, seven doubles and four triples over 61 games in a so-far disappointing sophomore campaign.

  • Out against left-hander
    Mullins is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Toronto.

    Advice: The last time Mullins made a start against a lefty came back on May 15 against Yusei Kikuchi. Kikuchi is on the mound again for Thursday's tilt, but Mullins will begin the series finale on the bench. Colton Cowser will patrol center field Thursday while Austin Hays handles left field.
