  • Ozuna hits 17th home run in loss Saturday
    Marcell Ozuna went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, a home run and four RBI against the Athletics on Saturday.

    Advice: The home run was Ozuna’s 17th of the season. Only Aaron Judge, Kyle Tucker and Gunnar Henderson have more. Only Jose Ramirez has more than Ozuna’s 53 RBI this year. The 33-year-old designated hitter is having the best season of his career at the plate. Rotoworld Today, 4:47 pm
     
  • Andujar homers, drives in four against Braves
    Miguel Andujar went 4-for-5 with three runs scored, a home run, and four RBI against the Braves on Saturday.

    Advice: Andujar’s three-run home run off Chris Sale in the second inning put the Athletics up 6-2. He’s now 13-for-29 (.448) with two home runs and 12 RBI in seven games this year. Andujar is yet to take a walk and has a career walk percentage of only four percent. He also doesn’t strike out very often with a career strikeout percentage of 16 percent. If Andujar can keep up the power he’s shown at the plate he might actually have some staying power this time around. Rotoworld Today, 4:38 pm
     
  • Three hits, homer vs. Royals
    Tatis went 3-for-4 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 7-3 win over Kansas City.

    Advice: Tatis opened the scoring in the first inning with a 422-foot solo shot off Alec Marsh, his 10th homer of the season. The 25-year-old Tatis has at least one hit in his last seven games, going 11-for-29 (.379) in that span. He's now slashing .261/.340/.433 with 38 runs scored, 30 RBI and six stolen bases across 268 plate appearances this year. Rotowire.com Today, 4:36 pm
     
  • Has hand swelling
    Young is day-to-day with swelling in his throwing hand, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports Saturday.

    Advice: The swelling occurred during early portions of Saturday's 3-2 loss to the Guardians and Young opted to report it to a team trainer during a pitching change in the sixth inning, resulting in his removal from the game. His status for Sunday's game remains up in the air and won't be known until closer to first pitch. Rotowire.com Today, 4:34 pm

  • Exits with trainer
    Young was removed from Saturday's game against the Guardians with an undisclosed injury, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: A trainer tended to Young while the Nationals made a pitching change in the bottom of the sixth inning before walking Young off the field. Eddie Rosario will fill center field while Joey Gallo enters the game in left. It's unclear exactly what type of injury Young is dealing with, but we should learn more later Saturday.

  • Re-enters lineup
    McCarthy is starting in left field and batting eighth Saturday against the Mets.

    Advice: McCarthy was originally scheduled to have the day off versus left-hander Sean Manaea, but he will now be called upon to fill in for Lourdes Gurriel (undisclosed), who was a late scratch. McCarthy has found success this year in a small sample size versus left-handed pitchers, slashing .429/.500/.476 across 24 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 10:49 am
     
  • Sitting versus lefty
    McCarthy isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: With left-hander Sean Manaea starting on the hill for New York, the lefty-hitting McCarthy will step out of the lineup Saturday. Randal Grichuk will fill the opening in right field and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Today, 9:36 am
     
  • Records first steal Friday
    Andujar went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a loss to Atlanta on Friday.

    Advice: Andujar provided the only multi-hit effort of the night for the Athletics, who were mostly stymied by Reynaldo Lopez and three relievers. Andujar already has a trio of extra-base hits since making his delayed season debut May 24, and he's quickly cobbled together a .375 average and .943 OPS by hitting safely in five of his first six games of the campaign.

  • Steals 17th bag
    Young went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's win over Atlanta.

    Advice: The 24-year-old center fielder has heated up again, batting .345 (10-for-29) over the last 10 games. Young remains limited as a fantasy asset -- he has yet to hit a homer this year and has a 4.5 percent walk rate -- but he tends to take full advantage when he does get on base. He's slashing .279/.338/.329 through 46 big-league games with 17 steals in 20 attempts, plus 14 RBI and 25 runs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:25 am
