  • Ezequiel Tovar tallies three more hits in loss
    Ezequiel Tovar went 3-for-4 with a double on Saturday in the Rockies’ loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Tovar notched his second consecutive three-hit performance to raise his batting average to .302 (71-for-235) with eight homers and four steals through 56 contests. The 22-year-old shortstop has been an unexpected batting average booster this season and wound up leading the National League with 16 extra-base hits during the month of May. That’ll do.

  • Casey Schmitt goes 2-for-4, homers in loss
    Casey Schmitt went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer on Saturday in the Giants’ loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Schmitt slashed San Francisco’s early deficit in half by taking Yankees starter Cody Poteet deep to left-center field in the third inning. It was his first round-tripper of the season. He was the lone Giants’ batter to reach base more than once during Saturday’s one-sided affair at Oracle Park as Yankees starter Cody Poteet and a quartet of relievers limited them to just five hits combined.

  • Anthony Volpe extends on-base streak to 28 games
    Anthony Volpe went 1-for-4 with a double on Saturday in the Yankees’ win over the Giants.

    Advice: Volpe’s 21-game hitting streak came to an end during Thursday’s series finale against the Angels when he went 0-for-5, but he’s reached base safely in 28 consecutive contests since May 2, which puts him in a tie with teammate Aaron Judge for the longest active streak in the game. The 23-year-old is excelling at the dish in the wake of last offseason’s offensive overhaul to his swing and approach. His .351 on-base percentage will certainly work atop New York’s lineup moving forward. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
     
  • Perfect at plate in win
    Schuemann went 4-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and three runs in a win over Atlanta on Saturday.

    Advice: The rookie shortstop was a thorn in the side of Atlanta pitching all night, putting together a stellar night out of the bottom of the order. Schuemann gave his average a 28-point boost to .266 with the multi-hit effort, his third in the last eight contests. He's also scored at least one run in five consecutive games, and his prolific performance Saturday also included his first game over the last eight without a strikeout.

  • Swipes two bases Saturday
    Bliss went 1-for-2 with two walks, two stolen bases and three runs in a 9-0 win against the Angels on Saturday.

    Advice: Bliss made a big contribution from the No. 9 slot in the batting order, reaching base three times and scoring three of the Mariners' nine runs. The infielder probably wasn't in many fantasy lineups, but he made a big impact for managers who rolled with him by swiping a pair of bags. Speed is a big part of Bliss's game -- he swiped 28 bags in 50 games for Triple-A Tacoma this season after stealing 55 bases in 70 attempts in the minors last year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:50 pm

  • Hits homer in loss
    Schmitt went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 7-3 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Schmitt got the Giants on the board in the third inning. This was his first game since his recall Friday and his seventh contest of the season. He's gone 5-for-26 (.192) with two extra-base hits and three RBI. Schmitt will be an option at shortstop primarily, but he also has experience at second and third, so he may settle into a utility role while in the majors. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:45 pm

  • Keys victory with grand slam
    Crawford went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk in Saturday's 9-0 win over the Angels.

    Advice: The Mariners held a narrow 1-0 lead before Crawford broke things open with his fourth-inning grand slam. It was the fourth grand slam of his career and his fourth homer for Seattle this season. Each of Crawford's past four hits have gone for extra bases (three doubles, one homer).

  • Swanson hits fifth home run Saturday
    Dansby Swanson went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and a two-run home run against the Reds on Saturday.

    Advice: Swanson’s two-run home run in the eighth inning was the difference in the Cubs’ 7-5 victory over the Reds. It was his fifth home run of the season. Swanson is due to improve at the plate at some point as his .208 batting average is the worst of his career and his .131 ISO is his worst since his first full MLB campaign in 2017.

  • Inconsistent playing time
    Rosario went 1-for-1 as a pinch hitter in Saturday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Rosario entered the game in the ninth inning after hitting the bench for the second time in the last four games. Since Jonathan Aranda and Brandon Lowe have returned from the injured list, Rosario has been in the lineup only seven times across 15 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:43 pm
