  • Productive near bottom of order
    Raley went 2-for-3 with an RBI single and a stolen base in a win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

    Advice: Raley drew his fourth start in five games Saturday night and delivered in the low-scoring victory, driving the Mariners' first run of the game in the fifth inning with a timely knock. Raley also swiped his first base of the season, and he was able to get his average back over the Mendoza line (.204) with what was his second multi-hit effort in the last five games.

  • Swipes home in win
    Kwan went 2-for-5 with two runs and a stolen base Saturday in an extra-inning victory versus Atlanta.

    Advice: Kwan's speed was on display throughout the contest, as neither of his base knocks left the infield and he crossed the plate on a steal of home in the eighth inning. The third-year outfielder had had an impressive beginning to the campaign, notching at least one hit in 17 of his 26 contests. He's slashing .345/.378/.469 with three homers, eight RBI, 25 runs and three thefts through 119 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:13 pm
  • Posts big stat line in loss
    Palacios went 3-for-3 with a home run, two runs, two RBI, three walks and two stolen bases in Saturday's extra-inning loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: Palacios put up a salivating fantasy stat line Saturday, reaching base six times and contributing both a two-run homer and a pair of steals. The outfielder had been in a bit of a slump coming in, collecting just one hit over his previous 11 at-bats. Palacios has had a solid season overall though, slashing .298/.429/.491 with three homers, five RBI, 13 runs, three thefts and a 12:18 BB:K while largely serving on the strong side of a right-field platoon in the absence of Josh Lowe (oblique/hamstring).

  • Cranks two homers in victory
    Benintendi went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and six RBI in Saturday's extra-inning win over the Rays.

    Advice: Benintendi's huge game came out of nowhere -- not only were the two long balls his first two of the campaign, but the multi-hit effort was his first such performance since April 15. The veteran outfielder's power had dropped off dramatically in recent seasons, as he swatted just 10 home runs over 277 contests across 2022 and 2023. Saturday's performance was the sixth multi-homer effort of Benintendi's career, and his six RBI tied a career high, while the walk-off blast was his first as a major-leaguer.

  • Productive in 2024 debut
    Cabbage went 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI on Saturday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Cabbage was called up to serve as Houston's 27th man for the Mexico City Series, and he was immediately slotted into the lineup to make his 2024 debut. He delivered the RBI knock in his first plate appearance, though he was pulled in the sixth inning in favor of pinch hitter Mauricio Dubon. Cabbage will almost certainly be back with Triple-A Sugar Land after the team's weekend series abroad, where he's maintained a .271 batting average while also striking out 31.9 percent of the time across 91 plate appearances.

  • Aaron Judge homers as Yanks crush Brewers
    Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in a blowout win Saturday over the Brewers.

    Advice: Judge shellacked a two-run blast in the sixth inning for his fifth homer of the season. The 32-year-old has not enjoyed the best start to the season with a .190/.328/.390 slash, but it’s impossible to be too concerned with those numbers based on Judge’s track record.

  • Alex Verdugo drives in four in blowout victory
    Alex Verdugo went 3-for-5 with a homer and four RBI in a blowout win over the Brewers on Saturday.

    Advice: Verdugo got the Yankees off to a great start in the first inning with a three-run blast off Joe Ross to make the score 3-0. The 27-year-old has shown some early pop in 2024 with four homers and .463 slugging percentage through the first 28 contests. It’s very possible that the former top prospect puts together a breakout season in 2024, even if it’s hard to bet on it. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:13 pm
  • All set for rehab assignment
    Berti (groin) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Sunday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Berti has been down for the last two weeks with a left groin strain but is ready to play in some rehab games to show he's over the injury. Because he hasn't missed that much time, Berti probably won't need too many rehab at-bats before being activated. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:34 pm

  • Pulled due to lack of effort
    Rays manager Kevin Cash said he pulled Siri from Saturday's game versus the White Sox in the third inning due to a lack of effort, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Siri didn't show much hustle in going after an Eloy Jimenez double in the second inning and was removed for defense before the bottom of the third. Cash noted that he considers the matter closed and that there will be no carryover, so it sounds like Siri could be back in the lineup Sunday. The center fielder struck out in his lone plate appearance Saturday and has fanned at a 44.4 percent clip on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:43 pm
