Player Notes

  • Travis d’Arnaud goes deep in loss to Yankees
    Travis d’Arnaud clobbered a two-run homer on Saturday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Braves past the Yankees in New York.

    Advice: The 35-year-old backstop tagged Marcus Stroman for a 355-foot (98.9 mph EV) two-run shot in the seventh inning that pulled the Braves to within four runs at 7-3. That would be as close as they would get. It was also d’Arnaud’s only hit in three at-bats on the evening. On the season, he’s now slashing .242/.310/.464 with seven long balls and 24 RBI, though his utility from a fantasy perspective has fallen by the wayside following the return of Sean Murphy at the end of May.

  • Slugs homer in win
    Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Naylor snapped a 25-game homer drought dating back to May 4. The catcher has struggled at the plate for much of the campaign, but he's gone a respectable 6-for-23 (.261) over his last seven contests. With the Guardians carrying three catchers, Naylor's margin for error at the plate is thin -- he doesn't have the defensive skill of Austin Hedges or the offensive consistency of David Fry in his favor. Naylor is slashing .184/.253/.291 with four homers, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base over 174 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
  • Kyle Higashioka goes deep in win over Brewers
    Kyle Higashioka filled in admirably for the injured Luis Campusano on Saturday, crushing a two-run homer and throwing out a pair of baserunners in a victory over the Brewers.

    Advice: Higashioka tagged right-hander Jakob Junis for his 413-foot (102.4 mph EV) two-run blast in the seventh inning that extended the Padres’ lead to 6-0. That would be his lone hit in three at-bats on the night. For the season, the 34-year-old backstop is now hitting .173/.212/.444 with six homers and 12 RBI. Rotoworld Today, 7:00 pm
  • Homers again in loss
    Alvarez went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-1 loss to the Cubs.

    Advice: Alvarez's solo home run off Jameson Taillon in the fifth inning was the only run the Mets could muster Saturday. He later added a double in the seventh frame and walked in the ninth. Alvarez has homered on back-to-back days and has gone 10-for-19 with two long balls and six RBI over his past five contests. The young catcher is hitting .284 with three home runs and 16 RBI in 88 at-bats this season. Rotowire.com Today, 6:41 pm
  • Enters as pinch hitter
    Stephenson fouled out in his only plate appearance during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Stephenson has been dealing with an undisclosed injury, but managed to pinch hit in the ninth inning for Luke Maile. While Stephenson wasn't well enough to start Saturday's contest, it's certainly encouraging that he was able to take an at-bat. Rotowire.com Today, 6:03 pm
