  • Continues power surge
    Lewis went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: Lewis homered for the fifth time in his last six games, taking Joey Estes deep in the sixth inning. With 10 homers, 14 RBI and 15 runs scored over just 16 contests this season, Lewis is enjoying a breakout campaign despite missing over two months with an injury. It's likely that his power will regress at some point, but Lewis is talented enough to offer a safe floor for fantasy managers. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Clean inning for save
    Miller struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 6-5 win over the Twins.

    Advice: Shea Langeliers put the Athletics ahead in the eighth inning, and Miller was able to slam the door in the ninth. Miller hasn't been charged with a run over his last 4.2 innings while posting a 5:2 K:BB in that span. The closer is up to 14 saves with a 2.08 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 60:13 K:BB over 34.2 innings this season. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago

  • Dylan Cease strikes out 10, allows four runs vs. MIL
    Dylan Cease allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision with 10 strikeouts against the Brewers on Friday.

    Advice: Cease needed 106 pitches to get the 14 outs, so he wasn’t able to get the final out needed to qualify for a win. The right-hander did at least help with the punchouts, and he’s now struck out 116 in his 91 1/3 innings in his first year with the Padres. Cease has scuffled in June, and will try and be more efficient — while still missing bats — against the Nationals on Wednesday. Rotoworld Today, 10:00 pm
     
  • Cal Raleigh slips below Mendoza Line in loss
    Cal Raleigh went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Marlins on Friday.

    Advice: Raleigh often seems to come up with the big hit, but the little hit has been a problem this year, as he’s batted just .198/.276/.380 in 272 plate appearances. The Mariners aren’t going to change much about his usage, but maybe they’ll give him the occasional extra day off and roll with Mitch Garver behind the plate. Rotoworld Today, 9:56 pm
     
  • Fernando Tatis Jr. day-to-day with triceps contusion
    Fernando Tatis Jr. is day-to-day with a left triceps contusion, the Padres announced.

    Advice: Tatis left Friday’s game after he was in the elbow by a pitch. If he can’t play Saturday, then José Azocar will probably play right field. Rotoworld Today, 9:32 pm
     
  • Dealing with contusion
    Tatis left Friday's game with a left triceps contusion, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Tatis exited the game two innings after being hit by a pitch in his arm. He appears to have avoided serious injury, though it's unclear whether imaging has already occurred -- if required. Rotowire.com Today, 9:15 pm
     
  • Royce Lewis hits 10th homer in 16th game
    Royce Lewis homered and went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a loss to the Athletics on Friday.

    Advice: Incredible. That’s Lewis’s 10th homer of the season, and it comes in just the 10th game of the season for the 25-year-old. He didn’t pick up any other hits and struck out twice, but it’s hard to care. What Lewis is doing right now is spectacular. Rotoworld Today, 9:09 pm

  • Mason Miller needs just seven pitches for save
    Mason Miller struck out one in a clean ninth to get a save against the Twins on Friday.

    Advice: Miller “only” picked up one strikeout, but he also needed just seven pitches to get through the outing with five of those landing for strikes. The 25-year-old has locked down 14 saves for the A’s in 2024, and his ERA is a very healthy 2.08. The future is incredibly bright for Miller as long as he can stay on the field, but this version is pretty darn good, too. Rotoworld Today, 9:09 pm

  • Fernando Tatis Jr. leaves game after hit by pitch
    Fernando Tatis Jr. was pulled from Friday night’s battle against the Brewers after he was hit by a pitch on his left elbow.

    Advice: The 25-year-old superstar remained in the game to run the bass for himself and even played another couple of innings in the field, but he was ultimately lifted for a pinch-hitter the next time that his spot came around in the Padres’ lineup. He’ll presumably head for X-rays to rule out any potential fractures. Stay tuned, as the Padres should have an update on his status after the game. Rotoworld Today, 8:26 pm
