  • Zack Neto collects two hits, two RBI in victory
    Zach Neto finished 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI as the Angels topped the Orioles 7-4 on Tuesday.

    Advice: Neto has two hits in back-to-back games, raising his average from .167 to .205. He should continue to improve from here, and while he’s not currently a mixed-league option as the Angels’ No. 9 hitter, it’s quite possible he’ll prove useful later this season. Rotoworld Today, 10:42 pm

  • Ryan Mountcastle singles as pinch-hitter
    Ryan Mountcastle came off the bench on Tuesday and singled as a pinch-hitter against the Angels.

    Advice: Mountcastle was out of the starting lineup for a second straight day due to knee soreness. That he felt well enough to stay in and play first base after batting tonight bodes well for Wednesday. Rotoworld Today, 10:42 pm
     
  • Mike Yastrzemski drives in three versus Mets
    Mike Yastrzemski knocked in three runs with two singles against the Mets on Tuesday.

    Advice: Both were rather soft hits, and he struck out in his other at-bat, so we’re not sure we’d say his early slump is over. Yastrzemski is hitting .208/.296/.271 through 55 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 10:02 pm
     
  • Joey Wendle goes 0-for-4 in loss to Giants
    Joey Wendle went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Giants on Tuesday.

    Advice: It seems way off that Wendle has started three of the Mets’ last five games while Tyrone Taylor has been on the bench for all five. To be fair, Brett Baty was unavailable for two of those, making Wendle a reasonable option at third. However, the Mets put Wendle at second and Jeff McNeil in left field tonight, even though Taylor in left with McNeil at his usual position was almost surely the better option.

  • Goes yard in blowout loss
    Contreras went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 14-1 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Contreras provided a positive start for the Cardinals with his first-inning blast, but it quickly went off the rails for the home team after that. The catcher saw his 11-game hitting streak end Monday, but he's still been one of the Cardinals' most consistent bats so far. He's slashing .292/.418/.523 with three homers, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, six doubles and a stolen base over 19 contests. Manager Oliver Marmol has committed to getting both Contreras and Ivan Herrera regular at-bats, so they have often shared catcher and designated hitter in recent weeks.

  • Keeps raking
    Raleigh went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-0 win against the Rangers.

    Advice: Raleigh tagged Dane Dunning for a two-run shot in the first inning to plate J.P. Crawford, marking the fourth long ball of his last five appearances. During that stretch, Raleigh is batting .474 with nine RBI, five runs scored and three multi-hit games. Rotowire.com Today, 9:47 pm
     
  • Puts tally in home run column
    Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: After launching 60 combined homers in his first two MLB seasons, Rodriguez was homerless through 22 games in 2024 before tagging Dane Dunning for a two-run shot Tuesday. Despite his lack of long balls, Rodriguez has been a strong fantasy producer, having racked up five multi-hit games and four stolen bases in his last seven appearances.

  • Brendan Rodgers hits grand slam in Rockies’ win
    Brendan Rodgers’ first homer of the year was a grand slam Tuesday to lead the Rockies past the Padres 7-4.

    Advice: It was his first career slam. Rodgers is batting just .197/.230/.324 in 74 plate appearances, but his contact numbers are a little better than usual and, due to some chilly temps, Coors Field hasn’t played like Coors Field just yet. He still might offer some mixed-league value in the end. Rotoworld Today, 9:37 pm
     
  • Three hits, homer in win
    Espinal went 3-for-4 with a home run and two total RBI in Tuesday's 8-1 victory over the Phillies.

    Advice: After picking up a pair of base hits earlier in the game, Espinal delivered the final blow in Cincinnati's 8-1 victory, smacking a solo home run off Ricardo Pinto in the eighth inning, his first of the season. It's just the second multi-hit game of the year for the 29-year-old Espinal -- he'd been stuck in a 1-for-19 slump over his previous seven contests. Overall, he's slashing .178/.264/.267 with seven RBI, three runs scored and three stolen bases across 17 games. While Espinal's performance Tuesday was encouraging, he'll likely retreat to a bench role when Jonathan India (illness) is ready to return. Rotowire.com Today, 9:24 pm
