    • Belts 11th homer
      Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run in a 9-2 win against Tampa Bay on Saturday.

      Advice: Olson was part of a big fifth inning for Atlanta, swatting the team's third and final homer in the frame. The first baseman extended his hitting streak to nine contests, a stretch during which he is batting .361 (13-for-26) with two home runs and five RBI. Olson's 11 homers are second-most on Atlanta but are well off the pace of the 54 long balls he belted last season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:04 pm
       
    • Lugo gets 10th win after six strong vs. Dodgers
      Seth Lugo gave up two runs in six innings to get a win against the Dodgers on Saturday.

      Advice: The victory is already the 10th of the season for Lugo. The right-hander allowed a two-run single to Gavin Lux in the fourth, but outside of that he handled the Dodgers lineup without many issues. He scattered six hits allowed while walking just one and striking out four. Lugo has been excellent in 2024, and it’d be a surprise if he wasn’t an All-Star at this point. He’ll face the Rangers next weekend in Texas. Rotoworld Today, 8:43 pm
       
    • Four hits in blowout win
      Perez went 4-for-6 with two RBI, one stolen base and two runs scored in Saturday's 13-5 win over the Astros.

      Advice: Perez has been an all-or-nothing player in June, posting four multi-hit efforts and eight hitless games this month. While the lack of consistency is concerning, a four-hit game is a positive spot for the 24-year-old to build from. On the year, he's slashing .260/.320/.401 with three home runs, five steals, 17 RBI and 27 runs scored across 195 plate appearances. Perez also hit atop the order Saturday for the first time in five games, though he is usually somewhere in the top third of the lineup against right-handers. Rotowire.com Today, 8:20 pm

    • Brandon Nimmo has two hits, two RBI in win
      Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in a win over the Padres.

      Advice: Nimmo got the scoring going with an RBI double in the fourth inning and then tacked on an extra run with an RBI single in the eighth. It’s been a tough year for the 31-year-old, but he has two hits in each of the two games against the Padres, so perhaps he can turn it into a much better summer. Rotoworld Today, 6:36 pm
       
    • Jazz Chisholm Jr. gets rare day off on Saturday
      Jazz Chisholm Jr. is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the division-rival Nationals.

      Advice: It’s a rare day off for Chisholm, who has made an appeares in 68 of 69 contests this season for Miami. The talented 26-year-old outfielder is batting .254/.319/.435 with 10 homers and 13 steals in 285 plate appearances. It’ll be Dane Myers patrolling center field on Saturday afternoon in his absence.

    • Day off versus left-hander
      Chisholm is not in the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Nationals.

      Advice: It's a rare day off for the lefty-hitting Chisholm as the Nationals send southpaw DJ Herz to the bump. Dane Myers is getting the start in center field. Rotowire.com Today, 10:55 am
       
    • Day off Saturday
      Langeliers is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Twins.

      Advice: Langeliers will get a breather after he went 4-for-13 with a grand slam and five RBI while starting the last three contests. Kyle McCann will take over behind the plate and bat eighth against Minnesota. Rotowire.com Today, 8:19 am
       
    • Belts grand slam Friday
      Langeliers went 1-for-5 with a grand slam in an extra-inning loss to the Twins on Friday.

      Advice: Langeliers got the Athletics' night started on the right foot with his 408-foot shot to left center in the first inning that cleared the bases and established an early 4-0 lead. The backstop's big homer was his first since May 30, and it marked his fourth time hitting safely in the last five games. Langeliers pushed his OPS back up to .708 as well, but he's still carrying a paltry .204 average and .263 on-base percentage. Rotowire.com Today, 8:17 am
       
    • Nails down 21st save
      Clase struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 21st save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: After catching Vladimir Guerrero looking on a third strike, Clase coaxed routine groundballs from Bo Bichette and Justin Turner to end the game. The right-hander has converted eight straight save chances, posting a 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB through 10 innings over that stretch, and Clase sits two back of the Cardinals' Ryan Helsley for the major-league saves lead.
