  • Diaz has two-hit game Saturday
    Yandy Diaz went 2-for-4 against the Orioles on Saturday.

    Advice: It was a quiet afternoon for the Rays as they were shutout. Diaz had the only two hits for Tampa Bay. After wining the batting title in the American League last year, he’s hitting just .245 so far this season. Diaz’ .273 BABIP this year is well below his .320 career BABIP. That doesn’t explain his lack of power this year as his .105 ISO is way down from his .192 ISO last season. Rotoworld Today, 4:25 pm

  • O’Hearn blasts ninth home run Saturday
    Ryan O’Hearn went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a solo home run against the Rays on Saturday.

    Advice: O’Hearn’s home run was his ninth of the year. He’s been a decent source of power in deeper formats. O’Hearn hits in the middle of one of the best lineups in the league against right-handed pitching. He’s hitting .285 with nine home runs and 21 RBI this year. Rotoworld Today, 4:20 pm

  • Drives in go-ahead runs
    Pasquantino went 1-for-4 with a two-run double in the Royals' 8-4 win over the Mariners on Saturday.

    Advice: Pasquantino broke a 3-3 tie with a two-out double in the bottom of the fifth that brought home two. It was the 26-year-old's ninth multi-RBI effort of the season and his third over his last eight games. He now has 43 RBI this season, which is second on the Royals behind Bobby Witt. Pasquantino's been a steady producer in the middle of the Royals' lineup all season and will carry a .244/.317/.433 line into Sunday's game. Rotowire.com Today, 4:15 pm
     
  • Rowdy Tellez homers, drives in three vs. Twins
    Rowdy Tellez went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and three RBI to lead the Pirates to a 4-0 win over the Twins on Saturday.

    Advice: Tellez broke a scoreless game in the seventh inning with a solo blast off Simeon Woods-Richardson to give the Pirates the lead. He then drove in two runs with a base hit in the eighth, bringing three of the Pirates’ four runs in to score. The home run was just the second home run of the season for the 29-year-old first baseman. He’s slashed a disappointing .208/.268/.285 with 15 RBI across 157 plate appearances.

  • Potentially significant injury
    Manager Scott Servais said postgame that he was "concerned" about the heel injury that held France out of Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Royals, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

    Advice: France was scratched from Saturday's lineup with what was initially deemed a foot injury. However, Servais shared that France is actually dealing with a heel injury that stems from the first baseman being hit by a pitch Friday. France will continue to be evaluated and a status update is expected to be delivered sometime Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:57 pm

  • Big day across pond
    Harper went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Mets.

    Advice: After doubling in the first inning, Harper got the Phillies on the board in the fourth with a solo shot off Sean Manaea, his 15th homer this year. Harper had been slumping a bit prior to the Phillies' trip to London -- he'd gone 7-for-36 (.194) with just one home run in his previous 10 contests. Overall, the 31-year-old Harper is slashing .276/.384/.535 on the year with 45 RBI and 36 runs scored across 258 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 2:11 pm
     
  • Bryce Harper homers, Phillies crush Mets in London
    Bryce Harper went 3-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday’s London Series opener, leading the Phillies to a commanding 7-2 victory over the division-rival Mets.

    Advice: Harper predictably stole the spotlight during Saturday’s highly-anticipated London Series opener, becoming the first Phillies batter to record a hit in England with a first-inning double before taking Mets starter Sean Manaea deep to right field a couple frames later for his 15th round-tripper of the season. He ended up with three hits, falling just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. Rotoworld Today, 1:06 pm
     
  • Slated for rehab stint next week
    Drury (hamstring) has responded well to recent baseball activities and is likely to head out on a rehab assignment during the week of June 10, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Drury hasn't played since injuring his left hamstring May 8, but he recently progressed to running and participating in full baseball activities, including taking groundballs and hitting on the field. The veteran infielder hasn't had any setbacks while taking part in that work and thus appears just about ready to head out on a rehab stint. It's unclear how many minor-league games Drury will play in, but it appears he could be back with the Angels by the end of next week. Rotowire.com Today, 12:20 pm
