Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

TOR 1st Baseman #27

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homered and stole a base, but it wasn’t enough for the Blue Jays on Saturday in an 8-7 loss to the Padres.

Guerrero’s three-run homer tied the game at 7-7, and was a towering shot over the left-field wall off Bradgley Rodriguez. That’s just the sixth homer of the season for Guerrero, but it’s the second time in three games, for those looking for hope heading into the break. Guerrero is as good of bet as any disappointing hitter in baseball to bounce back with a big second half after the All-Star break.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto

LAD Starting Pitcher #18

Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed six runs in as many innings to pick up a loss against the Diamondbacks on Saturday in a 9-2 loss for the Dodgers.

Yamamoto allowed five hits, and he struck out six while issuing four walks. The normally effective — effective seems like an understatement — was solid over the first five innings with just one run allowed, but fell apart in the sixth while allowing a five-piece; including a three-run homer from James McCann. Yamamoto’s first half was excellent despite this clunker, and he’ll be one of the first starters for the Dodgers after the break. It’s worth noting he’s not pitching in the All-Star break, so fantasy managers won’t have to wait long.
Edwin Díaz

LAD Relief Pitcher #3

Edwin Díaz struck out two in a scoreless innings for Low-A Ontario in his first rehab appearance Saturday.

Díaz, who is coming off surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow, allowed a single after the strikeouts, but then the runner was caught stealing. This is a good start, but he’ll make a few more appearances before the Dodgers consider activating him from the IL.
Yordan Alvarez

HOU Designated Hitter #44

Yordan Alvarez went 2-for-3 with two walks, a double, two runs scored and a two-run home run against the Rangers on Saturday.

Alvarez’ home run was his 31st of the year. He hit a two-run shot off Kumar Rocker in the first inning. Alvarez is hitting .315 with a 1.055 OPS and 70 RBI with one game remaining before the All-Star break.
Pete Alonso

BAL 1st Baseman #25

Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, a double and a two-run home run against the Royals on Saturday.

Alonso’s home run was his 21st of the season. He hit a two-run shot off Noah Cameron in the fourth inning. Alonso also doubled and scored in the second inning. He’s hitting .253 with an .826 OPS and 64 RBI in his first season in Baltimore.
Nick Lodolo

CIN Starting Pitcher #40

Nick Lodolo left Saturday’s game in the sixth inning with a blister on his left index finger.

He allowed two runs in five-plus innings against the Cubs. Lodolo already missed the first five weeks of this season with blister issues and also lost starts in 2023 and ’24. If this is another IL-type situation, the Reds could replace him in the rotation with Chase Petty.
Cristopher Sánchez

PHI Starting Pitcher #61

Cristopher Sánchez allowed two runs in seven innings and got the win in the Phillies’ 4-2 victory over the Tigers on Saturday.

Sánchez gave up 10 hits, walked one and struck out seven. He improved to 11-4 with the win. After allowing nine runs against the Royals earlier this week, Sánchez brought his A-game against the Tigers on Saturday. He allowed 10 hits, but consistently pitched out of trouble. Sánchez has a 2.62 ERA heading into the All-Star break.
Esmerlyn Valdez

PIT Right Fielder #55

Esmerlyn Valdez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer to power the Pirates to a 3-2 win over the Brewers in the second game of a doubleheader on Saturday.

Valdez did it again, homering in the second game of Saturday’s doubleheader. This time, he put the Pirates on the board with a two-run blast off Shane Drohan in the fourth inning. It was his third home run of the day after mashing two in the first game and his 10th of the season in just 100 plate appearances while slashing .311/.370/.722.
Griffin Jax

TB Starting Pitcher #22

Griffin Jax held the Mariners to one run with three strikeouts over five innings in a win on Saturday.

Jax stranded the bases loaded in the first inning with a pair of strikeouts, then gave up a run on a hit and sacrifice fly in the second. He tossed three more scoreless innings, ending his day with three strikeouts over five innings. The 31-year-old right-hander has done well in the rotation, posting a 2.80 ERA over 61 innings as a starter.
Trent Grisham

NYY Center Fielder #12

Trent Grisham went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer to lead the Yankees to a 4-2 win over the Nationals on Saturday.

Grisham knocked a base hit in the sixth inning, then put the Yankees ahead with a two-run homer off Clayton Beeter in the eighth, putting New York in position to steal the late victory. The 29-year-old outfielder is up to 10 homers, 48 runs scored, and 40 RBI while slashing .238/.338/.426 across 299 plate appearances.
