    Royals' Mike Moustakas: Launches 16th home run

    Moustakas went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer against the Mariners on Saturday.

    Moustakas was one of the few bright spots for the Royals on Saturday, as he recorded his 16th home run of the season by taking Felix Hernandez deep in the first inning. After getting off to scorching start to the season, Moustakas has cooled considerably in May and June, though he could be finding his groove again, recording three home runs in his past eight games.

  • Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Delivers grand slam among five hits

    Devers went 5-for-5 with a grand slam and three runs scored Saturday during the Red Sox's 11-0 win over the Yankees.

    The emerging Yankee killer peppered a Sonny Gray offering the opposite way over the left-field fence in the first inning, setting the tone for Boston's thunderous night at the dish. Devers would eventually pile on with his 19th double and three singles. The 21-year-old sports 14 big flies, 46 RBI, 39 runs and five steals with a .251/.294/.447 slash line after this perfect evening in the batter's box.

  • Brian Anderson RF | ATL

    Marlins' Brian Anderson: Smacks fifth homer

    Anderson went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a second run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Mets.

    His sixth-inning shot off Jacob deGrom got the Marlins on the board, giving Anderson five homers on the season to go along with a .292/.367/.416 slash line. While he offers limited power, his hit tool and consistent playing time still provide the 25-year-old with a solid floor for fantasy value in deeper formats.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Nationals' Anthony Rendon: Clears fences for second straight contest

    Rendon went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Phillies on Saturday.

    The infielder left the yard for the second straight night, planting a no-doubter into the left field stands off Tommy Hunter to bring Washington within a run in the sixth inning. His 11th launch of the year was also his fifth in nine games, and in those nine contests to close out the month, he went 13-for-38 (.342), elevating his slash line to a sterling .292/.356/.530 in 264 plate appearances.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Homer barrage continues Saturday

    Bregman went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Rays.

    For the second straight day, the 24-year-old accounted for all of Houston's offense. There may be no hotter hitter in the majors right now than Bregman, who has homered in five of the last six games and is hitting .339 (21-for-62) with eight home runs, 14 runs and 20 RBI over his last 15 contests.

  • Jean Segura 3B | CLE

    Mariners' Jean Segura: Continues raking Friday

    Segura went 2-for-4 with an RBI single and a run in a win over the Royals on Friday.

    The 28-year-old now has three multi-hit efforts over the last four games, just the latest stretch of offensive success for a player who boasts a career-best .338/.366/.479 line over 342 plate appearances. Segura has now also matched his RBI total from last season, but he's accomplished the feat in 223 fewer opportunities. Given Dee Gordon's success as a leadoff man, Segura figures to continue enjoying a fair share of run-producing opportunities out of the No. 2 spot while also getting on base at an above-average clip.

  • Anthony Rendon 3B | LAA

    Nationals' Anthony Rendon: Three extra-base hits in Friday's win

    Rendon went 3-for-6 with two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and three RBI in Friday's rout of the Phillies.

    He was right in the thick of a 17-run, seven-homer explosion from the Nats offense, continuing a hot streak that has seen Rendon slash .400/.433/.782 with eight multi-hit performances, 13 extra-base hits (nine doubles, four home runs), 11 RBI and 12 runs over his last 14 games. On the season, the 28-year-old now boasts a .289/.354/.517 slash line with 10 homers, 33 runs and 34 RBI in 60 games.

  • Alex Bregman 3B | CHC

    Astros' Alex Bregman: Another day, another homer

    Bregman went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Rays.

    Bregman provided all the runs the Astros could muster Friday with a lineup devoid of Carlos Correa (back), Yulieski Gurriel (personal) and George Springer (rest). Bregman filled in for Springer as the leadoff hitter and blasted his fourth home run in the last five games and 10th in June. The 24-year-old third baseman is slugging .702 in June, with 20 of his 32 hits going for extra bases.

  • Tigers' Jeimer Candelario: Belts 12th homer Friday

    Candelario went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Blue Jays.

    It's his 12th homer of the year and fourth in June, but otherwise Candelario has endured a tough month at the plate, hitting .167 over 26 games. Making contact has become an issue for the 26-year-old, as he's whiffed 32 times in 90 at-bats during that stretch, albeit with a solid 15 walks to balance them out. He'll need to start putting more balls in play to improve significantly on his .804 OPS in the second half.

  • Nolan Arenado 3B | ARI

    Rockies' Nolan Arenado: Mashes 20th homer

    Arenado went 2-for-4 with a solo home run to help Colorado to a 3-1 victory over the Dodgers on Friday.

    It was the 20th homer of the season for the stud third baseman, who got to Scott Alexander with an eight-inning solo shot. Arenado is in the midst of yet another brilliant, MVP-caliber season, as he's currently slashing .310/.394/.593 with 57 RBI and 18 doubles to go along with the 20 long balls.
