  • Hits go-ahead homer in extras
    Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Giants.

    Advice: Reynolds went down on strikes in his first two trips to the plate before eventually adding a single in the top of the eighth. He then jumped on the first pitch he saw from Tyler Rogers in the 10th and sent it into the stands in left field for a two-run shot, putting the Pirates up 3-1. It marked the ninth multi-hit effort this season for Reynolds, who's now homered in two of his last four contests. On the downside, he's also struck out twice in three of those four games.

  • Bryan Reynolds homers to lift Pirates past Giants
    Bryan Reynolds walloped a tie-breaking two-run homer in the 10th inning on Saturday, leading the Pirates to a 4-3 extra-inning victory over the Giants.

    Advice: Reynolds went deep off Giants lefty reliever Taylor Rogers in extra innings, going deep for the second time in his last four contests. He also has a pair of multi-hit performances during that span. The 29-year-old outfielder has been one of the most consistent five-category impact contributors in the fantasy landscape for years now and has shown zero signs of slowing down.

  • Productive from bottom of order
    Raley went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and a stolen base in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Advice: Hitting eighth and playing left field, Raley drew his fourth start in five games Saturday night and delivered in the low-scoring victory, driving the Mariners' first run of the game in the fifth inning with a timely knock. Raley also swiped his first base of the season, and he was able to get his average back over the Mendoza line (.204) with what was his second multi-hit effort in the last five games.

  • Swipes home in win
    Kwan went 2-for-5 with two runs and a stolen base Saturday in an extra-inning victory versus Atlanta.

    Advice: Kwan's speed was on display throughout the contest, as neither of his base knocks left the infield and he crossed the plate on a steal of home in the eighth inning. The third-year outfielder had had an impressive beginning to the campaign, notching at least one hit in 17 of his 26 contests. He's slashing .345/.378/.469 with three homers, eight RBI, 25 runs and three thefts through 119 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:13 pm
     
  • Posts big stat line in loss
    Palacios went 3-for-3 with a home run, two runs, two RBI, three walks and two stolen bases in Saturday's extra-inning loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: Palacios put up a salivating fantasy stat line Saturday, reaching base six times and contributing both a two-run homer and a pair of steals. The outfielder had been in a bit of a slump coming in, collecting just one hit over his previous 11 at-bats. Palacios has had a solid season overall though, slashing .298/.429/.491 with three homers, five RBI, 13 runs, three thefts and a 12:18 BB:K while largely serving on the strong side of a right-field platoon in the absence of Josh Lowe (oblique/hamstring).

  • Cranks two homers in victory
    Benintendi went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and six RBI in Saturday's extra-inning win over the Rays.

    Advice: Benintendi's huge game came out of nowhere -- not only were the two long balls his first two of the campaign, but the multi-hit effort was his first such performance since April 15. The veteran outfielder's power had dropped off dramatically in recent seasons, as he swatted just 10 home runs over 277 contests across 2022 and 2023. Saturday's performance was the sixth multi-homer effort of Benintendi's career, and his six RBI tied a career high, while the walk-off blast was his first as a major-leaguer.

  • Alex Verdugo drives in four in blowout victory
    Alex Verdugo went 3-for-5 with a homer and four RBI in a blowout win over the Brewers on Saturday.

    Advice: Verdugo got the Yankees off to a great start in the first inning with a three-run blast off Joe Ross to make the score 3-0. The 27-year-old has shown some early pop in 2024 with four homers and .463 slugging percentage through the first 28 contests. It’s very possible that the former top prospect puts together a breakout season in 2024, even if it’s hard to bet on it. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:13 pm
     
  • Richie Palacios reaches six times in loss to Chicago
    Richie Palacios went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer and two stolen bases in an extra-inning loss Saturday to the White Sox.

    Advice: Palacios also walked three times, making it a six-reach day. The outfielder socked his two-run blast off an ineffective Jonathan Cannon, and it gives the 26-year-old three homers to go with three stolen bases. It’s been in a part-time role, but Palacios has impressed in April with a slash of .298/.429/.491. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:08 pm
     
  • Andrew Benintendi hits walk-off homer in 10th vs. Rays
    Andrew Benintendi drove in six runs, homered twice including a walk-off homer to give the White Sox an 8-7 victory over the Rays on Saturday.

    Advice: A massive game for Benintendi as the White Sox shockingly win the series against the Rays. The outfielder hit a three-run homer in the fourth off Aaron Civale, but the more significant roundtripper is a two-run blast in extra innings that gave Chicago the win. A nice day indeed, but Benintendi is still struggling with a slash of .191/.224/.277. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:08 pm
