  • Key knock as pinch hitter
    Lowe went 1-for-1 with an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored Thursday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Lowe began the game on the bench with lefty Justin Steele on the mound but entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. He made an immediate impact with an RBI single and also tallied his first stolen base of the season. Lowe has gone only 2-for-18 since being activated from the injured list June 5 while striking out eight times. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago

  • Tallies two hits, steal in win
    Canha went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Nationals. He also stole a base.

    Advice: Canha extended his hitting streak to three games, and he's recorded a stolen base in two of those contests. That gives the veteran four steals for the season, and while he's not known for his speed at this point in his career, Canha did swipe 11 bases last year in 12 chances. He's a smart and efficient baserunner who can contribute a little bit in that category, though fantasy managers shouldn't expect huge numbers the rest of the way. Rotowire.com Today, 7:39 pm

  • Three hits, three RBI in loss
    Schwarber went 3-for-4 with three RBI in a 9-3 loss to the Red Sox on Thursday.

    Advice: Schwarber singled in the first inning then got the Phillies on the board with a three-run double in the fourth. He later added another single in the seventh and walked in the ninth. Schwarber is riding a six-game hit streak that includes three multi-hit games, two home runs and five RBI. Schwarber's current .249 average would be his best in a Phillies uniform, and he now has 13 home runs, 41 RBI and 48 runs scored in 305 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:38 pm
     
  • Crushes three-run homer in win
    O'Neill went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in a 9-3 win over the Phillies on Thursday.

    Advice: O'Neill singled in the first inning then broke the game open in the fourth, crushing a three-run homer off Aaron Nola that traveled 430 feet over the Green Monster. After returning at DH from a knee injury Wednesday, O'Neill got the start in right field and hit his first home run since May 19. O'Neill endured a terrible May, hitting .151 with two home runs and five RBI over 73 at-bats but has opened June going 7-for-16 with a homer and five RBI in just five contests. Health has always been a concern for O'Neill, as he has eclipsed 100 games played in a season just once, but he is now slashing .256/.356/.512 with 12 home runs in 2024. Rotowire.com Today, 7:37 pm

  • Schwarber has three hits, three RBI in loss
    Kyle Schwarber went 3-for-4 with a double, a walk and three RBI against the Red Sox on Thursday.

    Advice: Schwarber cleared the bases with a three-run double to pull the Phillies within a run in the second inning. However, those would be the only runs Philadelphia would score on the night. Schwarber is up to .249 with 41 RBI on the season. His power is down as his .177 ISO this year is well below his career .259 ISO. Rotoworld Today, 7:29 pm

  • O’Neill crushes 12th home run Thursday
    Tyler O’Neill went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run against the Phillies on Thursday.

    Advice: O’Neill’s home run was his 12th and his first since May 19th against St. Louis. He was back in right field after missing Tuesday’s game with knee discomfort and occupying the designated hitter spot on Wednesday. Fantasy managers have to be pleased with these developments.

  • J.D. Martinez hits walk-off blast against Marlins
    J.D. Martinez slugged a game-winning two-run homer on Thursday, lifting the Mets to a 3-2 walk-off victory over the Marlins.

    Advice: Martinez’s walk-off shot came against Marlins stopper Tanner Scott in the bottom of the ninth inning and was his sixth round-tripper of the year. It was also somehow his first career walk-off homer in 14 seasons in the big leagues since 2011. He’s now hitting .271 with 21 RBI in 41 games for the Mets this year. Rotoworld Today, 7:05 pm
