  • Wyatt Langford has two hits, RBI in loss to Mariners
    Wyatt Langford drove in a run while going 2-for-4 with a double and a steal in a loss Friday to the Mariners.

    Advice: Langford drove in his run in the first with an RBI single to make it 2-0 Rangers. It’d be the last run that Texas would score off Castillo or the Seattle bullpen. Langford has looked the part since returning from injury, and there’s lots of reasons to believe he can be a strong option over the second half of 2024. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:39 pm
     
  • Anthony Santander smashes game-tying homer
    Anthony Santander went 2-for-5 with a solo home run against the Phillies on Friday.

    Advice: Santander’s eighth inning home run was the first Matt Strahm has allowed all season and just the first run he’s allowed at all since opening day. Then Santander put one to the warning track in the 10th inning which nearly won the game for Baltimore. Also, his first inning single was smoked 114.4 MPH - the hardest he’s ever hit a ball in his career. That’s a great sign for the power hitting switch-hitter moving forward.

  • Belts fourth homer
    Riley went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, two runs scored and three RBI in Friday's win over Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Riley hit an RBI double in the first inning before hammering a two-run homer in the second. It was just his fourth homer of the year and first since May 3, snapping a 23-game drought. During that homerless streak, he posted a brutal .462 OPS. Riley is now slashing .230/.296/.357 with 17 extra-base hits and 23 RBI through 54 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:18 pm
     
  • Austin Riley wakes up with three hits, homer
    Austin Riley went 3-for-4 with a home run, double, three RBI, and two runs scored against the Rays on Friday.

    Advice: Finally, some signs of life from Riley. His home run was hammered 107.3 MPH and soared 422 feet. All three of his batted balls were hit at least 104 MPH and this feels like it could be the end of Riley’s prolonged cold start this season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:04 pm
     
  • Homers vs. Miami
    Thomas went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Friday's 8-1 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Thomas provided the big blow in the Nationals' seven-run third inning, cranking a three-run homer off Shaun Anderson, his fifth this season. The 28-year-old outfielder extended his hit streak to eight games -- he's gone 10-for-29 (.345) in that span. Overall, Thomas is slashing .231/.295/.359 with 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and 16 stolen bases through 40 games this year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:01 pm
     
  • Lane Thomas mashes three-run homer
    Lane Thomas went 2-for-5 on Friday with a home run, three RBI, and a run scored in a win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Thomas has once again been a dynamo this season in the heart of the Nationals’ order. The home run was his fifth in just 40 games - a 20 homer pace - to go along with 16 stolen bases. His .231 batting average and .295 on-base percentage are a bit of a drag, but are easy to stomach with those gaudy counting numbers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:10 pm
     
  • Taking seat Friday
    Moreno is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Moreno will yield to the lefty-hitting Tucker Barnhart on Friday with RHP Chris Flexen starting for the White Sox. In June, Moreno is batting .278 with six extra-base hits, seven runs and five RBI. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:39 pm
     
  • Taking seat Friday
    Campusano is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Mets.

    Advice: He will yield to the hot-hitting Kyle Higashioka at catcher Friday. Campusano is hitting just .146/.203/.182 across his last 19 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:28 pm
     
  • Struggles continue Thursday
    Riley went 0-for-5 with a strikeout in Thursday's win over the Orioles.

    Advice: The third baseman's been dropped down to fifth in the order, even with lefty-hander Cole Irvin on the mound for Baltimore on Thursday, but it hasn't helped wake up Riley's bat. His last homer came May 3, and in 16 games since he returned from an intercostal strain he's slashing just .161/.212/.194 with two RBI and a 4:17 BB:K. Riley's track record says he will heat up at some point this summer, and his Statcast profile suggests there's a great deal of bad luck contributing to his numbers this season -- he's in the 91st percentile in max exit velocity, 90th percentile in bat speed and 82nd percentile in hard-hit rate.
