  • Nabs sixth steal
    Marte went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Giants.

    Advice: The veteran outfielder continues to turn things around after a rough 2023. Marte has six multi-hit performances in the last 11 games, going 15-for-48 (.313) over that stretch to boost his slash line on the season to .286/.330/.451 with four homers, six steals, 12 RBI and 16 runs through 22 contests. The 35-year-old hasn't had a 20-homer campaign since 2019, his final year with the Pirates, but if he can stay healthy he's well on his way to reaching that mark again.

  • Power surge continues Monday
    Varsho went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Monday's win over the Royals.

    Advice: The 27-year-old outfielder gave the Blue Jays some crucial insurance runs in the sixth inning by taking Brady Singer deep. Varsho has six homers on the season, and all of them have come in the last 10 games -- a stretch in which he's batting .355 (11-for-31) with three doubles, two steals, nine runs and 13 RBI.

  • Swipes two bags Monday
    Harris went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in Monday's win over the Marlins.

    Advice: It's the third multi-hit performance in the last four games for Harris, but his first multi-steal effort of the season. Through his first 93 plate appearances, the 23-year-old center fielder is slashing .307/.344/.466 with three homers, four stolen bases, 10 RBI and 14 runs. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Reaches double-digit steals
    Acuna went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Monday's win over the Marlins.

    Advice: The 26-year-old superstar continues to make an impact from the leadoff spot. Acuna is up to 10 steals on the season in 11 attempts, and he's hit safely in nine of the last 10 games, a stretch in which he's batting .359 (14-for-39) with one homer, two RBI and nine runs scored.

  • Could begin rehab assignment soon
    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Carlson (shoulder) took batting practice from both sides of the plate Monday and could start a minor-league rehab assignment within days, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: The Cardinals are expected to re-evaluate Carlson on Tuesday to see how he responded to his latest live BP session, but if his left shoulder isn't causing any issues, the 25-year-old could be cleared for game action. Carlson appears further along in his recovery from the shoulder injury than Tommy Edman does in his recovery from wrist surgery, so Carlson could end up settling in as St. Louis' primary center fielder if he beats Edman back from the 10-day injured list.

  • Belts fifth long ball in victory
    Conforto went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run Monday in a 5-2 win against the Mets.

    Advice: Conforto scored San Francisco's first run after singling in the second inning, and he accounted for the team's final tally with a solo shot to right field in the sixth. The performance snapped a nine-game stretch during which the veteran batted just .171 and failed to register a multi-hit effort. Despite that cold snap, Conforto has started the season well, posting a .271/.311/.506 slash line with five homers, 16 RBI and 13 runs through 90 plate appearances.

  • Homers, swipes bag in loss
    Adell went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base Monday in a loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Adell produced the Angels' first run with a solo homer in the seventh inning. He then helped in the team's attempt to try to rally in the ninth, leading off the frame with a hit-by-pitch, advancing to second on a single and subsequently stealing third, though he was ultimately stranded there. Adell continues to receive sporadic playing time -- this was just his second start in the Angels' past six contests -- but he's done well when on the field, slashing .281/.314/.531 with two home runs, five RBI, seven runs and six steals through 35 plate appearances.

  • Continues early-season success
    Cowser went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Angels in a 4-2 win Monday.

    Advice: Cowser accounted for Baltimore's final run with a seventh-inning solo shot off Reid Detmers. It was the young slugger's sixth long ball of the campaign and his second in as many games. Cowser looked lost facing major-league batting for the first time last season, posting a .115/.286/.148 slash line with a 28.6 percent strikeout rate over 77 plate appearances. He's turned things around dramatically to start this season, however, recording a .364/.400/.800 slash line along with 12 extra-base hits, 10 runs, 17 RBI and three thefts through 60 plate appearances.

  • One hit in return
    Doyle went 1-for-3 Monday against the Padres.

    Advice: Doyle missed one game due to a chest injury, though his absence turned out to be short-lived. He hit seventh in the order and now has at least one hit in five of his last six starts. Overall, Doyle has maintained an impressive .291 batting average across 84 plate appearances, though he's still striking out at a 31 percent clip. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:24 pm
