  • Freddie Freeman reaches three times in win
    Freddie Freeman went 2-for-3 with an RBI single on Saturday, lifting the Dodgers to a 4-0 victory over the Reds.

    Advice: Freeman reached base safely in three of his four plate appearances as he continues to find his groove at the dish, batting .302 (16-for-53) with two homers over his last 15 contests. The 34-year-old veteran on-base machine isn’t running much at the moment with just one steal through 48 games, but his plate skills remain elite. Rotoworld Today, 3:49 am
     
  • Spencer Steer goes 0-for-3 in loss to Dodgers
    Spencer Steer went 0-for-3 with a strikeout on Saturday in the Reds’ shutout loss at the hands of the Dodgers.

    Advice: It’s probably too early to panic, but Steer is batting just .165 (18-for-109) with one homer and eight steals over his last 30 games. The 26-year-old’s plate skills remain solid and his underlying Statcast batted ball metrics point to some regression on the way. Rotoworld Today, 3:48 am

  • Reaches base five times
    Diaz went 3-for-3 with two walks and a run scored Saturday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Diaz has gotten on track at the plate across the last two weeks, with Saturday's performance marking his eighth multi-hit performance across his last 15 games. He's gone 23-for-63 with 12 RBI and 10 runs scored, also chipping in a pair of home runs. Overall, Diaz owns a 106 wRC+ but just a .097 ISO across 206 plate appearances for the season.

  • Nearing return
    Jones (back) is expected to be recalled from his rehab assignment following Sunday's game with Triple-A Albuquerque, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Jones has appeared in three games with Albuquerque, starting twice in left field and once at designated hitter. He's lined up for a fourth appearance Sunday and will rejoin the big-league club as it travels to Oakland. Assuming all goes according to plan, it appears that Jones will be activated for the first game of the series on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:43 pm

  • Tuesday return likely
    Bryant (back) will remain with Triple-A Albuquerque on a rehab assignment through Sunday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bryant has appeared in four games with Albuquerque, appearing twice at first base, once in right field and once at designated hitter. He's expected to play a final game with the team Sunday before meeting up with the big-league club Tuesday in Oakland. The Rockies haven't made their intentions official, but it's expected that he'll be back in the lineup the same day. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:40 pm

  • First appearance as catcher
    Goodman went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Giants.

    Advice: Goodman has primarily been a bench bat for Colorado since being promoted April 24, though he made his first career start and appearance at catcher in Saturday's game. Elias Diaz (hand) remains out, which is giving Goodman the opportunity to back up Jacob Stallings. The injury to Diaz isn't projected to keep him out in the long term so Goodman may not have enough time to gain catcher eligibility, though he would become an intriguing option behind the dish if Diaz remains sidelined longer than anticipated.

  • Hits two-run homer
    Brown went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Royals.

    Advice: Brown tied the game at 2-2 with his second-inning blast off Seth Lugo. The homer was Brown's fourth hit over 13 games in May -- he's batting just .138 for the month and .179 for the year. The outfielder has added a .546 OPS, four homers, 11 RBI, six runs scored, two stolen bases and three doubles through 120 plate appearances. Brown's poor hitting has cost him playing time recently, with Brent Rooker picking up playing time in left field at his expense. Brown can also play in right field, where he's competing with Tyler Nevin for at-bats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:22 pm
     
  • Walks it off with sac fly
    Harper went 1-for-4 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win against Washington.

    Advice: Harper singled, stole a base and came home on a double-play groundout in the fourth inning for Philadelphia's first run. He was retired his next two times at the plate before driving home the winning run with a walk-off sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 10th frame. Harper is batting .321 with four homers, 15 RBI, 14 runs and two stolen bases through 15 contests in May. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:15 pm
     
  • Comes through with clutch homer
    Clemens went 2-for-2 with a solo home run Saturday in a 4-3 extra-inning victory over Washington.

    Advice: Clemens came on as a pinch hitter for Edmundo Sosa in the seventh inning and singled in his first at-bat. His second time up to the plate was much more dramatic, as he belted a game-tying solo shot to center field with two outs in the bottom of the ninth frame. Clemens' playing time has been sporadic, but he's been productive when given an opportunity, as he's slashing .304/.333/.826 with three homers and eight RBI over just 24 plate appearances.
