Player Notes

  • Homers in third straight game
    Chapman went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Chapman's swing is rounding into form -- he's got a homer in three straight games, and he's hitting .405 (17-for-42) with six walks during an 11-game on-base streak. The third baseman's blast Thursday sparked the Giants' eighth-inning rally. He's up to a .249/.313/.440 slash line with eight homers, 27 RBI, five stolen bases and 33 runs scored through 50 contests overall. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:02 pm
  • Swipes two bags
    Kim went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and two stolen bases in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Reds.

    Advice: Kim seemingly has a green light to run right now -- he's logged five steals over his last five games, going 5-for-15 with five walks in that span. The shortstop is up to 13 thefts on 14 attempts this season, putting him roughly on pace to match his total of 38 steals in 2023. Kim has added a .216/.335/.369 slash line with six home runs, 22 RBI, 25 runs scored, four doubles and two triples over 52 games, but his recent hitting suggests he may be turning things around. Kim still figures to hit in the bottom half of the order most of the time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:47 pm
  • Set for weekend return
    Ramos (quad) will return from the injured list during the White Sox's weekend series against the Orioles, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Advice: Ramos began a rehab assignment Tuesday and went 1-for-2 in his only appearance to this point. He should return to a regular role at third base upon his activation. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:27 pm
  • Davis hits fourth home run Thursday
    J.D. Davis went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run against the Rockies on Thursday.

    Advice: Davis’s home run in the eighth inning off Tyler Kinley brought the Athletics to within one run. It was his fourth home run of the season. Davis is hitting just .220 with two home runs since being activated from the injured list on May 3rd. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:11 pm
  • Michael Busch goes 0-for-4 in loss to Braves
    Michael Busch went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts on Thursday in the Cubs’ shutout loss at the hands of the Braves.

    Advice: Busch is really struggling at the moment, batting .183 (17-for-93) with just one home run over his last 30 games. He’s gone especially frigid at the dish, hitting just .071 (1-for-14) over his past seven contests. The league seems to have made its adjustment to the 26-year-old top prospect and now it’s time for him to strike back. It wouldn’t be shocking to see him get a break in the coming days as a bit of a mental reset. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:52 pm
