  • Another three-hit performance
    Pillar went 3-for-4 with a triple, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's win over Kansas City.

    Advice: Pillar led off the bottom of the second with a triple before coming around to score on a three-run shot from Jo Adell as the Angels took a 3-1 lead. The recently-acquired outfielder would also add two RBI singles on the night in addition to swiping his third bag of the season. Pillar has now tallied three hits in two of his last four contests, posting nine RBI and five runs scored over that stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 6:48 am

  • Crushes grand slam in win
    Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's win over the Padres.

    Advice: Hernandez jumped on a hanging slider after being down 1-2 in the count with two outs in the sixth and sent it over the wall in left field for a grand slam, putting the Dodgers up 5-0. It marked the outfielder's 11th home run of the season and the fifth in his last eight games. He's now tied with Salvador Perez, Jose Ramirez and Juan Soto for second in the majors with 33 RBI on the season. Rotowire.com Today, 6:09 am
     
  • Tallies first three hits Saturday
    Mastrobuoni went 3-for-4 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 10-9 loss to the Pirates.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni was productive from the No. 8 spot in the lineup and he recorded his first three hits of the season, as he came into the contest 0-for-14 across 10 games so far. The 28-year-old has bounced between Triple-A and the majors and serves in a utility role when he's with the Cubs, so he doesn't see a ton of regular playing time, which makes Saturday's performance a pleasant surprise.

  • Records first steal in return
    Suzuki went 2-for-5 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 10-9 loss to the Pirates. He also stole a base.

    Advice: Suzuki had been out since April 14 due to an oblique injury before getting activated Friday, though he didn't play in that game. He wasted no time getting his bat going and recorded his first stolen base of the season in the process, so he appears to be fully healthy. The outfielder is now batting a robust .313 to go with an .894 OPS, and he should continue to slot into a prominent spot in Chicago's lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 5:44 am
     
  • JJ Bleday sparks A’s to blowout win over M’s
    JJ Bleday clobbered a two-run homer on Saturday, propelling the Athletics to an 8-1 blowout win over the Mariners.

    Advice: Bleday didn’t go deep until the final frame when the Athletics were already by a comfortable margin, but fantasy managers certainly won’t complain. The 26-year-old outfielder has five homers in 41 contests so far and appears poised to continue playing everyday for Oakland until further notice. Rotoworld Today, 4:42 am

  • Jo Adell homers again, Angels rout Royals 9-3
    Jo Adell walloped a three-run homer on Saturday, leading the Angels to a decisive 9-3 victory over the Royals.

    Advice: Adell homered for the second consecutive contest against Kansas City, taking ace Cole Ragans deep for a 419-foot no-doubter to left field in the second inning. It was his seventh round-tripper of the season and third time he’s gone deep in his last four games. The 25-year-old former top prospect appears to be finally putting it all together at the highest level as vastly improved plate discipline has helped him unlock his immense raw potential. He should be rostered in all fantasy formats at this point. Rotoworld Today, 4:29 am

  • Teoscar Hernández hits grand slam to beat Padres
    Teoscar Hernández slugged a grand slam on Saturday, lifting the Dodgers to a 5-0 victory over the Padres.

    Advice: Hernández continues to make a significant impact in his Los Angeles debut. The 31-year-old lefty-mashing corner outfielder gave the Dodgers a commanding five-run advantage in the sixth inning by taking Padres reliever Enyel De Los Santos deep to left field for his 11th round-tripper of the season. He’s never going to be a standout in the batting average department at this stage of his career, but he’s continuing to hit for a ton of power and has been a run-producing machine in the heart of the Dodgers’ loaded lineup.

  • Smacks key homer
    Joe went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run Saturday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Joe lifted a three-run home run in the third inning, his fourth long ball of the campaign. He's hit well overall this season which has helped him move from a short-side platoon role to a near everyday player. Joe has started eight of Pittsburgh's last 10 games, filling in for Rowdy Tellez at first base against lefties and Michael Taylor in the outfield against righties. Rotowire.com Today, 12:15 am

  • Snaps out of slump
    McCutchen went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and two runs scored Saturday against the Cubs.

    Advice: McCutchen entered the game with just four hits across his last 43 at-bats while striking out at a 27.5 percent clip. He came through with a clutch home run to lead off the sixth frame of Saturday's contest, his fourth time leaving the yard for the season. McCutchen has a .288 wOBA and 84 wRC+ across 124 total plate appearances on the campaign, though he continues to serve as Pittsburgh's primary designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 12:00 am
