  • Goes deep in defeat
    Profar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Reds.

    Advice: It looked like San Diego's offense could be in for a big day when Profar led off the bottom of the first inning with a solo shot off Nick Lodolo, but that turned out to be the only hit for the team until the ninth frame. The long ball extended Profar's hitting streak to six games, and he's batted .364 (8-for-22) with a pair of homers, four RBI and six runs during that stretch. Profar has served as San Diego's leadoff man each of the past two contests, and he could stick there for a while if he continues to hit well. Through 122 plate appearances, Profar is slashing .301/.402/.485 with four homers, 19 RBI, 16 runs and a stolen base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:20 pm
     
  • Tyler Nevin goes 2-for-3, hits third home run
    Tyler Nevin went 2-for-3 with a homer against the Pirates in Monday’s win.

    Advice: It was his third homer. Nevin has a nice .301/.350/.452 line in 80 plate appearances for the A’s, but the exit velocity numbers aren’t really there to back it up and he might find himself out of favor once the A’s get healthier; it’s doubtful he would have been claimed in the first place if not for Miguel Andujar’s injury.

  • Pops homer in loss
    Isbel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Isbel's bat has started to come around -- he's gone 7-for-21 (.333) with four extra-base hits over his last seven games. The outfielder has held onto a strong-side platoon role in center field this season. He's slashing .225/.262/.388 with three homers, three stolen bases, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, two doubles and a triple over 85 plate appearances. Isbel still most frequently bats at the bottom of the Royals' lineup when he's playing. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:14 pm
     
  • Keeps mashing
    Santana went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Monday's 3-2 win over the ChiSox.

    Advice: Santana went yard once again Monday, tallying his fourth long ball in his last five games with a two-run homer off Garrett Crochet in the second inning. He's been on an absolute tear in his last five outings, batting .333 with 10 RBI. Despite the hot streak, Santana owns a poor .185/.265/.348 slash line through 102 plate appearances.

  • Out again Monday
    Stephenson (hand) didn't play in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Padres.

    Advice: Stephenson has now missed two consecutive matchups after being struck on the right hand by a pitch Saturday against the Rangers. Luke Maile drew the start behind the dish Monday and could continue to see playing time until Stephenson is cleared to return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:27 pm
     
  • Swats another homer
    Jansen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Jansen tagged Jonathan Bowlan for a solo homer in the third inning, marking the catcher's second home run in the last three games. After missing the first few weeks of the season with an injury, Jansen is slashing .269/.387/.615 with a 12.9 percent strikeout rate in 31 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:25 pm
     
  • Delivers first homer of 2024
    Fermin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Fermin started behind the dish due to Salvador Perez getting the day off. Fermin notched his second multi-hit game of the campaign and his eighth-inning solo home run off Erik Swanson marked Fermin's 10th career long ball. In 47 plate appearances, Fermin is slashing .227/.277/.318 and is striking out at a 10.6 percent clip. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:22 pm
     
  • Jo Adell homers from two hole in Angels’ win
    Jo Adell hit his fourth homer Monday as the Angels edged the Phillies 6-5.

    Advice: Adell was moved into the second spot in the lineup tonight, and while we’re not sure that’s exactly the right spot for an awful baserunner who strikes out a whole lot, it’s closer to where he belongs than where he was batting previously. Adell remains a flawed player, but he definitely seems to have made some gains again this year after also showing signs of progress last season. Whether he’s a long-term asset in mixed leagues remains to be seen, but he’s worth using right now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:21 pm
     
  • Carlos Santana stays hot in victory over White Sox
    Carlos Santana smashed a two-run homer on Monday, powering the Twins to a 3-2 victory over the White Sox.

    Advice: Santana took southpaw Garrett Crochet deep in the second inning for his fourth round-tripper in his last five games after going 20 straight games without a big fly to open the season. The 38-year-old’s recent hot streak is enough to keep his bat in the lineup moving forward, but his on-base skills have eroded to the point that it’s fair to question how much longer he’s going to stick around for Minnesota.
