  • Colt Keith picks up four hits in victory over ARI
    Colt Keith went 4-for-5 while scoring three runs and driving in two Friday against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: It’s the first four-hit game of Keith’s career, and also the first time the rookie has scored multiple runs in a contest. The 22-year-old has mostly been ineffective thus far, but perhaps this is the contest that gets Keith going for the remainder of 2024. Weirder things have happened. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:23 pm
     
  • Four hits in blowout win
    Keith went 4-for-5 with two RBI and three runs scored in Friday's 13-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: While all four hits were singles, it was still a big game for the infielder, who entered Friday hitting .171 on the year. That's up to .197 after this contest, and he's batting .391 (9-for-23) over his last seven games. Keith has a .477 OPS, no home runs, 12 RBI, 11 runs scored, three stolen bases and three doubles through 133 plate appearances. He should continue to play in a strong-side platoon role at second base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:16 pm
     
  • José Ramirez hits game-winning homer Friday
    José Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a win over the Twins on Friday.

    Advice: It’s been a trying season for Ramirez with his OBP hanging right around .300 despite 10 home runs, 38 RBI, and seven stolen bases. His batted ball metrics have also tailed off for the second time in three seasons, but his counting stats remain spectacular. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:48 pm
     
  • Slugs 10th homer
    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 win over the Twins.

    Advice: Ramirez's long ball gave the Guardians the lead for good in the eighth inning. It was his 10th homer of the year, five of which he's hit over the last 12 contests, a span that's also seen him earn 13 RBI and three stolen bases. The third baseman is slashing .249/.301/.463 with 38 RBI, 28 runs scored, seven steals, six doubles and a triple through 44 games this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:46 pm
     
  • Doubles, swipes a bag in return
    Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a double, a steal, a run scored and a walk in Friday's win over Texas.

    Advice: Rengifo hit second in his first game since May 6 after a brief stint on the injured list. He ripped a double in the first inning before drawing a walk, stealing second base and scoring a run in the third. The utility bat was on a 19-for-46 (.413) tear over his last 15 games before landing on the IL. Rengifo is slashing .326/.379/.463 with nine extra-base hits and 10 steals through 29 games.

  • Joey Ortiz picks up three hits, three-run homer
    Joey Ortiz hit a three-run homer while going 3-for-4 in a loss to the Astros on Friday.

    Advice: Ortiz also doubled, with the only damper on the evening being a caught stealing. The former Baltimore top prospect has been a big part of Milwaukee’s success, as this is the fifth homer for the 25-year-old and he’s slashing .296/.397/.561 for good measure. It was understandable for those who were skeptical of Ortiz as a fantasy option coming into the year, but this is no longer all that small of sample. It’s time to take him seriously.

  • Triple, home run in win
    Henderson went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI triple and a second run scored in Friday's 9-2 win over the Mariners.

    Advice: Henderson led off the game with a solo shot off Bryce Miller, his 13th homer of the year, before driving in a second run with an opposite-field triple in the seventh inning. While Henderson's gotten off to a great start this year, he'd been slumping a bit coming into Friday's contest, going 0-for-11 in his prior three games. Overall, the 22-year-old shortstop is slashing .263/.339/.569 with 29 RBI, 32 runs scored and six steals across 189 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:09 pm
     
  • Gunnar Henderson powers Orioles past Mariners
    Gunnar Henderson crushed a leadoff homer, tripled and drove in a pair of runs on Friday night, powering the Orioles to a lopsided 9-2 victory over the visiting Mariners.

    Advice: Henderson got the home half of the first inning started with a bang, clobbering the second pitch thrown by Bryce Miller for a 402-foot (101.3 mph EV) solo shot — his league-leading 13th of the season. The 22-year-old superstar also drove in Jorge Mateo with a run-scoring triple in the seventh inning, then scored on an RBI double off the bat of Adley Rutschman. With his two-hit attack, Henderson is now slashing .263/.339/.569 with 13 homers, 29 RBI and six stolen bases. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:39 pm
     
  • Alec Bohm drives in run as Phillies beat Nationals
    Alec Bohm clubbed an RBI double on Friday as the Phillies defeated the Nationals in Philadelphia.

    Advice: Bohm opened the scoring in the home half of the first inning, plating J.T. Realmuto with his run-scoring double off of Nationals’ right-hander Jake irvin. That would be his only hit in four at-bats on the night. For the season, the 27-year-old slugger is now hitting a robust .331/.397/.521 with four long balls, 37 RBI and a pair of stolen bases.
