  • Two hits, stolen base in win
    Martinez went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 3-1 win over the Phillies.

    Advice: Martinez reached on an infield single in the first inning, then stole second base and came around to score on a David Fry single. Martinez would later add an RBI of his own, his sixth in his 21st career game. After not stealing a bag in his first 18 contests, he now has a steal in two of his last three games. Martinez has made 19 straight starts in the second spot of the Guardians lineup and is hitting .254 with a .750 OPS over that stretch. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

  • Homers in consecutive games
    Baez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-3 loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Baez took Pablo Lopez deep in the third inning after providing all the Tigers offense in Thursday's win with a three-run blast. Baez has now homered in back-to-back games for the first time since 2023. Prior to these two homers, Baez had not gone deep since April 14 in what has been a rough year for him. The 31-year-old is hitting .179 with three homers and a .474 OPS through 65 games this season. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
  • Bryson Stott tallies three hits, home run
    Bryson Stott went 3-for-4 with a solo home run on Friday against the Guardians.

    Advice: Stott has been mired in a prolonged slump with a .540 over his last 20 games entering play Friday. The homer was just his second since May 19th as he hopes to finally break out. Rotoworld Today, 6:36 pm
