  • Goes deep in nightcap
    Donovan went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in an 11-6 loss to the Tigers in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: Donovan sparked the Cardinals' fifth-inning rally with his homer. The utility man had hit safely in five straight games before going 0-for-4 in the matinee contest. Donovan is slashing .228/.311/.377 with three homers, 16 RBI, 13 runs scored and no stolen bases over 132 plate appearances this season. He remains the Cardinals' preferred leadoff batter and left fielder despite his mediocre hitting so far. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago

  • JJ Bleday homers twice in Oakland’s victory
    JJ Bleday delivered his second and third homers of the year Tuesday as the A’s topped the Pirates 5-2.

    Advice: Bleday’s best game of the season saw him launch balls 417 and 399 feet and improve his season line to .243/.304/.417. He’s not consistently hitting the ball hard enough to inspire a ton of faith, but he’s Oakland’s best center field option for now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:38 pm

  • Launches third homer
    Joe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Oakland.

    Advice: Joe tagged Alex Wood for a solo shot in the first inning, marking his third long ball in 100 plate appearances this season. He's on pace to exceed his career-high home run total of 11, which he achieved in 472 plate appearances last season. During his last five games, Joe is batting 6-for-19 (.316) with a pair of doubles and Tuesday's home run. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:58 pm

  • Swats two homers
    Bleday went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Bleday went yard twice for the first time in his career Tuesday, tagging Mitch Keller for a solo shot in the fifth and Josh Fleming for a two-run homer in the seventh for his second and third long balls of the campaign. The contest was Bleday's first multi-hit game since Apr. 14. However, he's racked up an extra-base hit in seven of his last nine contests with six walks and five strikeouts during that stretch.

  • Tommy Pham doubles in two-hit game vs. Twins
    Tommy Pham went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday’s loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Pham continued his hot start with the White Sox on Tuesday and has now hit safely in four of his first five games. His RBI single in the fourth gave him his first RBI on the season and put the White Sox up 2-0, and he later came around to score in the third inning after hitting his first double of the year. Pham is now batting.350 on the year, but is stuck in a lineup that offers little to no run production. He can’t be relied on for much at this time as far as fantasy is concerned.

  • Larnach totals two hits, one RBI vs. White Sox
    Trevor Larnach went 2-for-4 with one RBI and a run scored in Tuesday’s win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Larnach was part of a two-run ninth inning that saw the Twins tie the game and later take the lead thanks to his RBI single that scored Carlos Correa. Larnach closes out the first month of the season, hitting a solid .394, and is riding a five-game hitting streak heading into May. Perhaps even more impressive is the fact that he has totaled two or more hits in his last four games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:03 pm
     
  • Jarren Duran, has three hits, SB in win
    Jarren Durran went 3-for-4 with a run, an RBI, and a steal in a 4-0 win over the Giants on Tuesday.

    Advice: All three of Duran’s hits were singles but each of them was at least 107 mph off the bat. In fact, he had three of the six hardest-hit balls of the game. His stolen base was also his ninth of the season and the lead-off hitter is slashing .268/.338/.386. The power has not been there this year, but if Duran keeps hitting the ball hard and getting on base then he’s going to rack up steals and continue to be useful in fantasy leagues.

  • Wilyer Abreu has three hits in win over Giants
    Wilyer Abreu went 3-for-4 with a double, triple, and an RBI in a win over the Giants on Tuesday.

    Advice: Abreu had the hardest hit ball of the day with a 114.4 mph triple in the fourth inning and then also added a 95.8 mph double in the third inning. The 24-year-old is now slashing .316/.391/.526 with 12 RBI and has been one of the better hitters in fantasy baseball since becoming an everyday player in Boston. While he will likely cool down at some point, his minor league track record points to a power/speed profile that should be useful in all fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:56 pm

  • Pops two homers Tuesday
    Greene went 4-for-9 with a double, two home runs and three total RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Greene provided all of Detroit's offense with a solo home run in the first game Tuesday, a 2-1 loss, but he really got going in the nightcap. He collected three hits in the 11-6 win, including a double and another homer, his seventh of the season. The talented young outfielder has pushed his OPS up to a robust .912, and the sky is the limit for Greene the rest of the way if he manages to stay healthy. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:37 pm
