How to Make Object Spin While Moving?

Question

I have the simplest script ever that moves the hammer and makes it rotate. This is it:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class HammerMover : MonoBehaviour {
 
     
     void Update () {
 
         transform.Rotate (0f, 360f, 0f);
 
         transform.Translate (0.1f, 0f, 0f);
     
     }
 }

My question is this: How do I make the hammer rotate along the Y axis while it is moving down the X axis? Think like someone is throwing it at you. Right now, the hammer just moves in circles and I cannot figure out how to alter it. Thanks all :)

 public float speed,rotSpeed;
  void Update(){
             transform.position += Vector3.up * speed;
             transform.Rotate (rotSpeed,0,0);
         }

  public float diameter;
  public float RotateSpeed;
  public Transform target;
  void Update(){
   transform.position = target.position; 
   transform.Translate(diameter,0,0);
   transform.Rotate(0,0,RotateSpeed);
  }
