  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Launches grand slam Saturday

    Crawford went 1-for-5 with a grand slam and an additional run in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Rays.

    Crawford provided the most productive hit of the contest, launching a second-inning grand slam that gave Seattle a short-lived three-run lead. He also scored the winning run in the 10th after beginning the frame as the inherited runner at second base. The shortstop extended his hit streak to seven games, during which he is slashing .387/.387/.645 with two homers and seven RBI.

  • Carlos Correa SS | HOU

    Astros' Carlos Correa: Slams 13th home run

    Correa went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-3 win over the White Sox.

    Correa homered off Jose Ruiz in the eighth inning to extend the Astros' lead to four runs. The shortstop had his second long ball of the week and has provided an RBI in five of the last six games. He has done a great job getting on base, leading the Astros with 37 walks and with a .386 OBP. Also, the 26-year-old has a respectable 13 long balls, trailing just Jose Altuve's 16 for Houston.

  • David Fletcher 2B | ATL

    Angels' David Fletcher: Three-hit effort in win

    Fletcher went 3-for-3 with a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-3 win over Detroit.

    The 27-year-old knocked in a run with a sacrifice bunt in the sixth inning, and he added an RBI double in the eighth. Fletcher is on a six-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 12-for-21 (.571) with seven RBI, five runs scored and three doubles. The contact-hitting infielder has posted a .281/.312/.328 slash line with no home runs, 24 RBI, 38 runs scored and three stolen bases across 275 plate appearances overall. Given his recent surge, Fletcher has responded well to batting at the bottom of the order, although that gives him fewer chances to make an impact for fantasy managers.

  • Trevor Story SS | BOS

    Rockies' Trevor Story: Adds stolen base Saturday

    Story went 2-for-4 with a walk, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-5 loss to Milwaukee.

    Story has regained his speed a bit in the last week, notching five steals in his last seven games. The shortstop is up to a .256/.333/.411 slash line with five home runs, 28 RBI, 33 runs scored and 13 steals in 17 attempts. He's riding a six-game hitting streak (9-for-21) heading into Sunday's series finale versus Milwaukee.

  • Willy Adames SS | SF

    Brewers' Willy Adames: Shows off power

    Adames went 4-for-5 with a home run, three doubles, three RBI and three runs scored in Saturday's 6-5 win over Colorado.

    The shortstop had no trouble getting good contact Saturday. He opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning and added a go-ahead two-run homer in the ninth. Adames hadn't homered since June 5, but he posted five doubles in 12 games in that span. The 25-year-old is slashing .237/.296/.434 with nine home runs, 33 RBI, 30 runs scored and two stolen bases through 247 plate appearances.

  • Trea Turner SS | PHI

    Nationals' Trea Turner: Socks 11th homer

    Turner went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a 6-2 win over the Mets during the second game of Saturday's doubleheader.

    The shortstop went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored during a 5-1 loss in the matinee, and Turner kept right on rolling in the nightcap, taking Sean Reid-Foley deep in the third inning for his 11th homer of the year. He's batting .338 (25-for-74) through 18 games in June, but his long ball Saturday was his first since May 17.

  • Mets' Francisco Lindor: Belts two long balls in Game 1

    Lindor went 3-for-5 with a pair of two-run homers and an RBI single in the 5-1 win over the Nationals in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.

    Lindor broke out of a 0-for-11 stretch in a big way during the first half of the twin bill, knocking in each of the club's five runs. He took Joe Ross deep with a runner on in the first and fifth innings, while also mixing in a third-inning RBI single. It marked the shortstop's first multi-homer performance in a Mets uniform and just his second three-hit game on the campaign.

  • C.J. Abrams SS | WAS

    Padres' CJ Abrams: Posts four-hit Double-A performance

    Abrams went 4-for-5 with two doubles, a stolen base, four RBI and two runs for Double-A San Antonio on Friday.

    Abrams' four-hit effort was the second of his professional career and his first this season. The highly touted prospect appears over the ankle injury that sidelined him in late May, as he has swiped seven bases while slashing .333/.385/.404 in 14 games during June. Only four of his 19 hits this month have gone for extra bases, however, so Friday's two-double performance is a promising development.

  • J.P. Crawford SS | SEA

    Mariners' J.P. Crawford: Another multi-hit night

    Crawford went 2-for-4 with a double and a run in a win over the Rays on Friday.

    The hot-hitting shortstop's multi-hit effort was already his sixth of June and pushed his slash line for the month to .382/.436/.588 across 78 plate appearances. Crawford has shown a nice knack for timely hitting during that stretch, garnering nine RBI over the 17-game sample.

  • Giants' Brandon Crawford: Swipes bag in win

    Crawford went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 5-3 win over Philadelphia.

    Crawford doubled and scored in the second inning, then reached on an error and stole second in the eighth. The shortstop has hit a dry spell at the plate, going 3-for-21 (.143) across his last seven games. Two of those hits went for extra bases (one home run, one double). Overall, he's slashing .249/.336/.528 with 15 home runs, 44 RBI, 38 runs scored and five stolen bases across 226 plate appearances.
