  • Goes yard again
    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's 2-1 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Ramirez provided the go-ahead run in the sixth inning, tagging Jack Flaherty for a solo homer. Ramirez has now generated a home run in back-to-back games but is still trying to dig his way out of a slump. In his last 10 appearances, Ramirez is 5-for-35 (.143) with five RBI, five runs scored and no multi-hit games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:17 pm
     
  • Nabs fourth steal
    Freeman went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Monday's 2-1 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Freeman opened May 1-for-12 across four contests, and his last multi-hit effort before Monday was April 19. The 24-year-old is slashing just .204/.301/.347 this season while adding three home runs, four steals, 12 RBI, 17 runs scored and five doubles across 113 plate appearances. With Steven Kwan (hamstring) landing on the injured list Monday, Freeman should have more job security in center field while Estevan Florial, Ramon Laureano and Will Brennan combine to fill the corner outfield spots.

  • Goes deep, swipes bag
    Morel went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer, a walk and a steal in Monday's loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Morel put the Cubs on the board with his two-run shot in the sixth inning after snagging a steal earlier in the contest. He has five hits over his last five games and four of them have left the yard. The 24-year-old is slashing .220/.315/.449 with 12 extra-base hits (eight home runs), four stolen bases and 23 RBI through 35 games this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:36 pm

  • Maikel Garcia drives in two in win against MIL
    Maikel Garcia went 1-for-2 with a two-run RBI single to help lift the Royals to a 3-2 win versus the Brewers on Monday.

    Advice: It wasn’t pretty, but it got the job done. Garcia got great contact on a sinker off Elvis Peguero in the sixth inning that got in between shortstop and second base. According to Statcast, the hit probability was just 41%, but with an exit velocity of 106.5 MPH, Garcia definitely earned the hit. The 24-year-old is slashing .236/.292/.671 with four homers and 22 RBI this season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:36 pm
     
  • José Ramírez homers in second-straight game
    José Ramírez went 1-for-4 with a home run in Monday’s 2-1 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Ramírez’s go-ahead home run came in the sixth inning as it hugged the right side of the diamond and hit the foul pole. It was a much-needed run for Cleveland who are now 23-12 through its first 35 games of the season — the team’s best start since 2011. The 31-year-old is slashing .232/.280/.435 with seven home runs and 28 RBI this season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:40 pm

    Marlins optioned Jonah Bride to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Bride will head back to Triple-A with Jake Burger (oblique) back from the injured list. He’ll likely be back as a bench option at some point before 2024 comes to a conclusion. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:42 pm
     
  • Jake Burger (oblique) activated off injured list
    Marlins activated INF Jake Burger (oblique) off the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Burger is back after spending just under three weeks on the injured list with a left oblique strain. He returns to a .228/.281/.421 slash with three homers and 15 RBI in 16 games. He’s hitting third and playing third base Monday, and Jonah Bride was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Burger on the roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:39 pm
     
  • Returns to Triple-A
    Bride was optioned to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: After being called up Saturday, Bride went 1-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 12-3 win over the Athletics. With Jake Burger (oblique) returning from the 10-day injured list Monday, Bride was the odd man out on the major-league roster and he'll head back to Jacksonville. The 28-year-old has produced a .349 batting average with seven homers, 16 RBI, 14 runs scored and a stolen base over 86 at-bats in 25 games at Triple-A this season.

  • Back from IL
    Burger (oblique) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game against the Dodgers, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: As anticipated, Burger is back with the big club after missing the last few weeks rehabbing from a left intercostal strain. He was a big piece of the Marlins' offense before landing on the IL, recording three homers, 15 RBI and eight runs scored over his first 16 games of the 2024 season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:35 pm
