Yorke has now homered in two straight games with hits in five straight and seven of his last eight. The 23-year-old hit .279/.347/.372 in June with one home run, 14 RBI, and two steals. The Pirates could move on from veterans like Tommy Pham and Adam Frazier at the deadline, which could finally open up some MLB at-bats for Yorke.

He’s now up to 28 steals on the season to go along with 15 home runs, which is propping up his fantasy value that would otherwise be torpedoed by a .210/.322/.416 slash line. The 26-year-old has been disciplined a few times this year for a lack of hustle, and his defense has not shown signs of improvement in center field. Given his poor defense and clear frustration, it might make sense for the Pirates to see what they can get for a talented player with major contact concerns. In the meantime, fantasy managers should continue to put Cruz in their lineup if they need stolen bases, but if you’re doing well in that category, you could also explore trading or benching Cruz.

Pham got the Pirates on the board with an RBI single in the second inning and then added an insurance run with another RBI single in the seventh. The veteran hit .302/.373/.488 in 43 at-bats in June with two home runs and 12 RBI. He could potentially be a trade deadline target for contending teams needing a bench bat, and that would open up playing time for Nick Yorke in the outfield for Pittsburgh.

Keller’s name has come up in trade rumors repeatedly in recent weeks, especially linked to the Chicago Cubs, so this was a nice audition for him. He didn’t miss many bats with just an 18 percent whiff rate, but he had a 25 percent CSW on the back of strong command of his four-seam, sinker, and slider. The average exit velocity on balls in play off Keller was almost 93 mph, so this feels like a game where he got a little bit lucky. He’ll take a 3.64 ERA into a start against the Royals next week.

It feels like Semien has finally turned a corner. With this home run, he now has five since the beginning of June and a 1.012 OPS over his last 30 games. While second base is a complete wasteland at the moment, now is the time to trust Semien once again.

Angels interim manager Ray Montgomery told reporters following the contest that Moore is undergoing further testing to determine the severity of the issue. The 22-year-old rookie walked twice before being lifted from the game after attempting to make a diving play to his right behind the second-base bag in the sixth inning. He’s presumably day-to-day heading into Thursday’s series finale.
