Ozzie Albies

ATL 2nd Baseman #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ozzie Albies had a strong day at the dish in Thursday’s lopsided victory over the Red Sox, going 3-for-5 with a homer, double, two runs scored and two RBI.

Albies smacked a double off of Payton Tolle in the fourth inning and came around to score on a two-out RBI single off the bat of Dominic Smith. He then capped off the scoring in the ballgame with a 416-foot (104.4 mph EV) two-run blast off of Ryan Watson in the ninth inning. With the three-hit attack, Albies is now slashing a solid .276/.333/.439 to go along with nine homers and 29 RBI on the season.

Pete Crow-Armstrong went 3-for-5 with a leadoff homer and a double as the Cubs bested the Giants 6-1 on Saturday.

PCA’s fifth homer in June got things off to a great start against Trevor McDonald, and the Cubs never looked back. Crow-Armstrong is now up to .263/.341/.462 for the year. He was hitting .236/.306/.369 on this date a month ago.

Ben Brown

CHC Relief Pitcher #32

Ben Brown pitched five innings of one-run ball in notching a win over the Giants on Saturday.

Brown allowed seven hits and walked three, which usually amounts to more than one run, but the Giants never managed a hit with RISP tonight. Brown moved to 3-2 with a 1.74 ERA. He’ll unfortunately miss the home series against the Rockies next week and likely make his next start Friday against the Blue Jays.

Trevor McDonald

SF Starting Pitcher #72

Trevor McDonald lasted only 3 2/3 innings and gave up four runs Saturday in a loss to the Cubs.

McDonald allowed six hits, including a leadoff homer from Pete Crow-Armstrong, and walked three before being pulled. He fell to 2-4 with a 4.64 ERA, and he might soon return to the minors if Tyler Mahle’s rehab progresses as hoped. For the moment, he’s in line to start against the Marlins next week.

Pedro Ramirez

CHC 2nd Baseman #75

Pedro Ramírez went 2-for-5 and hit his first major league homer Saturday against the Giants.

Ramírez’s homer was a 414-footer off Reiver Sanmartin in the fifth inning. The rookie was making his seventh start in 21 games since the Cubs called him up on May 23. He’ll likely return to Triple-A at some point now that Matt Shaw is back, but he’d be interesting if the team had a starting job available for him.

Ian Seymour

TB Relief Pitcher #61
The Rays plan to have Casey Legumina open Sunday’s game against the Angels.

Ian Seymour also figures to play a significant role after throwing four scoreless innings in his start Monday against the Red Sox, but that’s not something the Rays are currently willing to confirm. Assuming Seymour has the bulk role, he’ll be a better bet for a win than a bunch of starters in action on Sunday.

José Soriano

LAA Starting Pitcher #59

José Soriano said he exited after five scoreless innings Saturday because he tweaked his leg on a comebacker that hit him in the first inning against the Rays.

Soriano departed after just 76 pitches. He doesn’t expect tonight’s issue to be a problem going forward, so we’ll still pencil him in to face the A’s in Sacramento next week.

Zack Gelof

ATH 3rd Baseman #20

Zack Gelof went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer as the A’s topped the Rockies 7-5 on Saturday.

Gelof started in right field tonight with Max Muncy back, but he finished up at third base. He’s hit a solid .271/.316/.475 in 195 plate appearances since being recalled by the A’s, but he might lose some playing time against right-handers while the A’s figure things out in their infield. It shouldn’t turn into a significant issue until Brent Rooker comes off the IL.

Joey Estes

ATH Starting Pitcher #68

Joey Estes gave up four runs in 4 1/3 innings against the Rockies in his 2026 debut Saturday.

Estes got the start tonight in his first appearance since being recalled Tuesday and managed to sort of outpitch Kyle Freeland in what turned into a win for the A’s. Estes didn’t qualify for the win, of course, so he’s still 7-12 with a 5.59 ERA as a major leaguer. With Aaron Civale expected back on Wednesday, Estes might be in line to return to Triple-A.

Elvis Alvarado

ATH Relief Pitcher #37

Elvis Alvarado fanned two in a perfect ninth for a save in a two-run game Saturday against the Rockies.

Alvarado struck out Kyle Karros and Brett Sullivan before getting Sterlin Thompson to ground out to end the game. He’s earned both of his saves in the eight days since the A’s recalled him from Triple-A. He should remain in the mix going forward, but Hogan Harris, who notched a save Friday, still seems like the best bet in the A’s pen for now.

Kyle Freeland

COL Starting Pitcher #21

Kyle Freeland surrendered six runs and 10 hits in 5 2/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the A’s.

Freeland dropped to 1-7 with a 7.98 ERA. He’s given up 84 hits in 58 2/3 innings. Still, it’s not like the Rockies are going to stop running him out there. Expect him to face the Pirates at Coors Field on Friday.
