  • Three-hit effort in win
    Fitzgerald went 3-for-3 with a double and one run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Fitzgerald has recorded three multi-hit games this season, and he's batting .313 with a .915 OPS over 34 plate appearances. He remains in a utility role, but he's done well when in the lineup, posting one home run, three RBI, six runs scored, two doubles, a triple and four stolen bases. Fitzgerald's lack of an everyday role limits his fantasy viability, and his best chance at playing time is at shortstop, though Nick Ahmed has held his own there by batting .262 over 27 contests. Fitzgerald has also played in center field occasionally versus southpaws when Jung Hoo Lee is out of the lineup, though that has not been a strict platoon situation.

  • Lifts homer in win
    Yastrzemski went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Yastrzemski has hit safely in six of his last eight games, going 9-for-22 (.409) in that span. His two hitless contests in that span were games during which he entered off the bench. The outfielder remains in a strong-side platoon role this year. He's slashing .236/.311/.345 with two homers, 10 RBI, seven runs scored and no stolen bases over 62 plate appearances while sharing right field with platoon partner Austin Slater.

  • Notches second steal
    Siani went 0-for-3 with one RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 4-2 extra-innings loss to the Mets.

    Advice: Siani is hitless over his last six games (0-for-17) while drawing two walks and striking out six times in that span. For now, he's the Cardinals' starting center fielder, but he's in the lineup mostly for his defense while Dylan Carlson (shoulder) and Tommy Edman (wrist) are on the mend. Siani is slashing just .108/.233/.162 with no home runs, one RBI, nine runs scored and two stolen bases this season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:10 pm
     
  • Steals two more bags
    Young went 3-for-5 with a double, three RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases during Sunday's 12-9 victory over the Marlins.

    Advice: Young's three hits were a season high and represented his third consecutive multi-hit effort while he also stole two bags for the second-consecutive game. The young center fielder is up to 10 steals on the season, good for fifth in all of baseball despite accumulating only 60 at-bats and one walk. His average now stands at .375 with four doubles, seven RBI and 14 runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 8:27 pm
     
  • Launches two more dingers
    Senzel went 2-for-6 with two home runs and five RBI during Sunday's 12-9 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Senzel's two home runs came in consecutive innings, with the two-run homer in the fourth cutting the lead to two, then the three-run blast in the fifth giving the Nationals a lead they wouldn't relinquish. The third baseman got off to a late start with the Nationals after fracturing his thumb prior to Opening Day but has found his groove over the last six games, as each of his five hits during that stretch have cleared the outfield fence. The power is legit for Senzel, who was never quite able to put things together during his five seasons in Cincinnati but has been thriving in his first season with Washington.

  • Launches grand slam
    Chisholm reached base three times, going 1-for-3 with a grand slam, two walks and two runs scored during Sunday's loss to the Nationals.

    Advice: Chisholm's third blast of the season came off Nationals starter Patrick Corbin and got the Marlins off to a great start, plating four runs prior to the Nationals recording an out. Chisholm, who entered the game with just two hits in his previous 13 at-bats, ended a 17-game homerless drought with the first-inning bomb. His average now stands at .245 with three home runs, 15 RBI, 12 runs scored and five steals, while he's reached base at a career-high .342 clip. Rotowire.com Today, 8:07 pm
     
  • Tyler O’Neill delivers walk-off RBI single Sunday
    Tyler O’Neill delivered a walk-off RBI single in the ninth inning on Sunday, propelling the Red Sox to a 5-4 victory over the visiting Cubs.

    Advice: With runners at the corners and no one out in the ninth inning, O’Neill blooped a splitter from Mark Leiter Jr. off of the outstretched glove of Dansby Swanson and into left field to plate Jarren Duran with the game-winning run. It was his only hit in four at-bats on the evening, though he also drew a walk in the contest. For the season, the 28-year-old slugger is now hitting .329/.447/.729 with nine long balls, 12 RBI and a stolen base. Rotoworld Today, 7:05 pm

  • Jarren Duran plates two as Red Sox defeat Cubs
    Jarren Duran went 1-for-4 with a pair of RBI and a run scored as the Red Sox walked off the Cubs on Sunday night in Boston.

    Advice: Duran delivered a big pair of insurance runs in the sixth inning with a two-out, two-run triple off of Yency Almonte. He also worked a walk off of Mark Leiter Jr. to begin the ninth inning, then scored the game-winning run on Tyler O’Neill’s walk-off single. On the season, the speedy 27-year-old outfielder is now hitting .252/.321/.374 with a homer, 13 RBI and eight stolen bases through his first 29 games. Rotoworld Today, 6:58 pm

  • Mike Tauchman belts game-tying homer in eighth
    Mike Tauchman belted a game-tying three-run homer in the eighth inning on Sunday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Cubs past the Red Sox.

    Advice: The Cubs entered the eighth inning trailing 4-1 on Sunday night, but they started a rally as Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nico Hoerner started the frame with singles and Tauchman followed with a 402-foot (104.3 mph EV) three-run shot that tied things up at 4-4. That would be the extent of their offense though. Tauchman finished the night 2-for-4 and is now hitting a healthy .294/.429/.500 with three homers, 10 RBI and one stolen base on the season.
