  • Racks up three steals in loss
    Doyle went 2-for-4 with three stolen bases and one run scored in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Doyle has gone 15-for-54 (.278) with nine steals over his last 15 games. The outfielder's speed is not in question, but that's an impressive stretch on the basepaths for just about anyone. On the year, he's at 13 thefts on 14 attempts while slashing .272/.338/.433 over 201 plate appearances. He's added five home runs, 10 doubles, two triples, 15 RBI and 32 runs scored.

  • Unlucky to take no-decision
    Hudson allowed two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out two over six innings in a no-decision versus the Phillies on Saturday.

    Advice: Given the venue and opponent, it's a surprise that Hudson had arguably his best outing of the campaign. He pitched well enough to win, but the Rockies' bullpen melted down in the ninth inning to rob Hudson of his second victory on the year. The right-hander trimmed his ERA from 5.89 to 5.54 with a 1.59 WHIP and 28:28 K:BB over 50.1 innings over 10 starts this season. It doesn't get any easier for Hudson, who is projected to make his next start at Dodger Stadium. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago

  • Logs steal in win
    Stubbs went 2-for-4 with one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Stubbs' playing time remains low as backup to J.T. Realmuto. This was Stubbs' first multi-hit effort of the season, but he's still just 3-for-24 (.125) in May. The catcher is at a .140/.213/.140 slash line with three steals, two RBI and three runs scored over 47 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Perfect at plate Saturday
    Schwarber went 3-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Schwarber has multiple hits in three of his last five contests, though his double Saturday was his first extra-base hit since May 16. The 31-year-old slugger is up to a .234/.356/.396 slash line with nine home runs, 31 RBI, 40 runs scored and two stolen bases over 235 plate appearances this season. Schwarber's drop in power this season isn't a great sign after exceeding 45 homers in back-to-back years, but he continues to both walk (16.2 percent) and strike out (29.8 percent) at high rates.

  • Sewald records four save against Marlins Saturday
    Paul Sewald tossed a scoreless ninth inning and picked up the save against the Marlins on Saturday.

    Advice: Sewald has allowed one run with seven strikeouts and one walk in seven appearances and converted all four of his save opportunities since coming off the injured list. Fantasy managers that held Sewald since the beginning of the year can’t ask for much more than what they’re getting right now. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago
     
  • Burger has three-hit game in loss Saturday
    Jake Burger went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Advice: Burger hit .250 with 34 home runs last year. With the three hits on Saturday, his average is up to a paltry .194 on the season. While Burger doesn’t have a track record outside of last season, his career BABIP is .282 and his BABIP this year is much lower at .217. Burger is even striking out at a much lower rate this year with a 22 percent strikeout percentage compared to his career 28 percent strikeout percentage. His batting average should normalize eventually, which makes him a decent buy-low candidate. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago

  • Puts game out of reach
    Harper went 2-for-5 with a home run and four RBI in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Harper hit an RBI single in the first inning and added a three-run homer in the ninth that gave the Phillies all the offense they needed in the win. He's hit safely in 10 of his last 12 games, going 16-for-46 (.348) with four homers and 12 RBI in that span. For the season, the 31-year-old is up to a .282/.389/.554 slash line with 13 homers, 41 RBI, 32 runs scored, three stolen bases and nine doubles over 48 contests. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
     
  • Walker has two-hit game in win Saturday
    Christian Walker went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI against the Marlins on Saturday.

    Advice: Walker tied the game at one in the first inning with a line drive double to right field that scored Corbin Carroll. Then he came around and scored on a Lourdes Gurriel double. Walker is hitting .262 with an .819 OPS and 33 RBI on the season. Rotoworld 57 minutes ago
     
  • Fares well in road start
    Nola allowed three runs (two earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out five over six innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Saturday.

    Advice: Nola turned in his third straight quality start, which was his seventh such outing this year. He left the game on the hook for the loss, but the Phillies rallied ahead in the ninth inning. Nola has allowed six runs (four earned) over his last 22 innings, giving him a 3.04 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 65:20 K:BB through 71 innings across 11 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Cardinals. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
