  • Third homer of June
    Benintendi went 1-for-3 with two walks and a two-run home run Tuesday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Benintendi helped the White Sox get off to a hot start, as he delivered his home run in the first inning. He has been limited to 11 games in June due to an Achilles injury, but Benintendi has enjoyed a productive month by homering three times, driving in five and scoring five runs while also maintaining a .286 batting average. Despite the productive stretch, he still has just a .249 wOBA and 58 wRC+ across 233 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Jurickson Profar hits grand slam in Padres’ win
    Jurickson Profar hit a grand slam Tuesday in the Padres’ 9-7 takedown of the Nationals.

    Advice: This game had a little bit of everything, including a benches-clearing incident, a manager ejection, some extended player admiration of home runs, ugly defense, boneheaded baserunning and 16 runs in all. What it didn’t have was strikeouts; the teams totaled just five, and Nationals hitters went the first eight innings without any at all. Profar, coming off a walkoff hit Monday, was involved in the early confrontation that emptied the dugouts and then immediately was hit by a pitch after warnings were issued. Immediately after that, he scored on a Manny Machado homer. His slam, a line-drive homer down the right field line, was the fourth of his career. He’s now 5-for-5 with four extra-base hits and 17 RBI with the bases loaded this season. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
     
  • Homers in three-hit game
    Buxton went 3-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Buxton got the Twins on the board with his fifth-inning solo shot and was also a part of their rally in the seventh. The outfielder has gone 8-for-20 (.400) with six extra-base hits over his last five games. He slumped early in June but has rebounded to get his slash line to .255/.302/.435 with six homers, 26 RBI, 28 runs scored and five stolen bases over 215 plate appearances this year.

  • Brett Wisely finishes 2-for-4 in Giants’ victory
    Brett Wisely went 2-for-4 with a run scored from the leadoff spot in the Giants’ 5-1 defeat of the Cubs on Tuesday.

    Advice: Wisely’s second hit, a 403-foot double to left-center, would have been a homer in 29 of 30 ballparks and really a no-doubter in most of them. Oracle Park isn’t built that way, though. Wisely, who has turned into the Giants’ shortstop versus righties, is batting an impressive .301/.333/.441 in 99 plate appearances. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago

  • Pete Crow-Armstrong strikes out three times
    Pete Crow-Armstrong struck out all three times he was up against the Giants on Tuesday.

    Advice: Crow-Armstrong has struck out 22 times while batting .151/.182/.226 in 53 plate appearances this month. The defense is strong, and he’s been a force on the basepaths, but the Cubs still might need to send him back to Triple-A to work on his approach at the plate. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago
     
  • Trevor Larnach goes 0-for-4 in loss to Arizona
    Trevor Larnach went 0-for-4 and grounded into a double play against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

    Advice: Larnach hit three balls over 100 mph tonight, but he had no luck with any of them. He’s batting just .218/.254/.382 this month on the heels of an already poor May, and one wonders if the Twins might have him and Matt Wallner, who has been red hot in Triple-A, swap spots in the near future.

  • Active in win
    Palacios went 2-for-4 with an RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's 11-3 win over the Mariners.

    Advice: Palacios doubled and scored in the second inning and then walked and scored in the sixth. He had a huge seventh inning, hitting an RBI single, stealing second and coming around to score for the third time in the contest. Palacios has tallied three multi-hit efforts and two steals in his past four games and is now hitting .249 with four home runs, 16 RBI and 12 stolen bases over 197 at-bats in 2024.

  • Benintendi homers as White Sox fall to Dodgers
    Andrew Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Dodgers



    Advice: Trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the first after a leadoff homer by Shohei Ohtani, Benintendi put the White Sox on top when he smacked a two-run homer to deep right field to score Tommy Pham and give the White Sox a 2-1 lead. That lead didn’t prove to be enough, as the Dodgers bounced back courtesy of a two-run homer by Freddie Freeman and an RBI single by Ohtani. Benintendi is batting just .203 on the season with six home runs and 22 RBI. He’s well off the fantasy radar at this time. Rotoworld Today, 8:38 pm
     
  • Jake Meyers has three-hit night vs. Rockies
    Jake Meyers went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Meyers was responsible for three of the Astros’ nine hits on the night and was part of the team’s five-run first inning. Meyers singled in the first to drive in Yordan Alvarez from second and later came around to score himself. Despite the strong night, Meyers is hitting just .203 on the month but has a slash line of .260/.302/.392 on the season. Rotoworld Today, 8:10 pm
