    • Kyle Schwarber remains out Sunday with back issue
      Kyle Schwarber (back) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Marlins.

      Advice: Schwarber is out of the lineup as expected, with the hope being that the 31-year-old can return to the lineup Monday. Bryce Harper is the designated hitter against Miami with Whit Merrifield handling third base and leading off and Alec Bohm at first base. Rotoworld Today, 8:03 am
       
    • Paul Goldschmidt strikes out four times in return
      Paul Goldschmidt went 1-for-5 with four strikeouts on Saturday in the Cardinals’ loss to the Brewers.

      Advice: Yikes. Goldschmidt was unable to really get anything going in his return to St. Louis’ lineup after receiving a couple days off to mentally reset and work on his swing. The 36-year-old veteran first baseman, who was the National League’s MVP Award winner just two seasons ago, is off to the worst start of his career, batting .190 (27-for-142) with two homers, 11 RBI and one steal through 37 contests. Perhaps the most alarming aspect of his early-season decline is that he’s striking out at a career-worst 31.7 percent clip so far. Simply put, it’s not what you want. Rotoworld Today, 3:34 am
       
    • Matt Chapman wallops grand slam to sink Reds
      Matt Chapman went 2-for-4 with a grand slam on Saturday, propelling the Giants to a 5-1 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Chapman’s 416-foot moonshot to left-center field off Reds starter Nick Lodolo with two outs in the opening frame was more than enough run support for San Francisco’s pitching staff to pull away with an easy victory at Oracle Park. It was his fifth round-tripper of the season and first time he’s gone deep since April 16. Rotoworld Today, 3:21 am
       
    • Hits game-tying blast
      Santander went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Santander's eighth-inning blast was what ultimately forced extra innings Saturday. The outfielder has gone deep three times and driven in seven runs over his last five games. For the season, Santander is sporting a .217/.301/.449 slash line with seven long balls, 25 RBI, 20 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple. He still has yet to attempt a stolen base this season. Santander's production is generally in line with what he did last year, aside from modest dips in his rate stats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:55 pm
       
    • Nails down sixth save
      Romano gave up a hit and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Saturday to record his sixth save of the season in a 10-8 win over the Twins.

      Advice: The right-hander stayed perfect in save situations on the season, but Saturday's performance was only the fifth time in nine appearances that Romano has avoided getting tagged with a run. His 4.15 ERA and 1.38 WHIP are well off from his usual standards, but his 8:2 K:BB through 8.2 innings isn't far from the mark, and his stuff appears to be fine -- he topped out at 99 mph with his fastball.

    • Grand slam powers win
      Chapman went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Chapman has multiple hits in two of his last three games, and Saturday also saw him go deep for the first time since April 16. The third baseman's first-inning blast was all the Giants needed in the win. Chapman is up to five homers, 18 RBI, 20 runs scored, seven doubles and three stolen bases with a .213/.261/.355 slash line over 40 contests. He's yet to really find a rhythm at the plate, and he's also not showing as much power or plate discipline to make up for his shaky contact. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:49 pm
       
    • Yainer Diaz has two hits, RBI in loss to Tigers
      Yainer Diaz went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and an RBI as the Astros fell to the Tigers on Saturday night in Detroit.

      Advice: Diaz delivered a run-scoring single off of Tarik Skubal in the fourth inning that pulled the Astros to within five runs at 7-2. That would be as close as they would get. With the two-hit attack, the 25-year-old backstop is now hitting .273/.309/.403 to go along with three homers and 17 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:53 pm

    • Plates four runs
      Stott went 2-for-5 with four RBI in Saturday's 8-3 victory over the Marlins.

      Advice: Stott's bases-clearing triple in the sixth inning put the Phillies ahead for what turned out to be for good. He also added an RBI single in the eighth. It's the second four-RBI game for Stott over his last 10 contests, and he's batting .375 with a couple homers and 13 RBI over that span. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:34 pm
       
    • Aiming to play Monday or Tuesday
      Schwarber (back) is hoping to return to the Philadelphia lineup Monday or Tuesday versus the Mets, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

      Advice: Schwarber exited Friday's 8-2 win over the Marlins and missed Saturday's 8-3 win with a sore back. He'll remain on the bench for Sunday's series finale, but he seems to be trending in the right direction. The Phillies are planning to give Bryce Harper at day at designated hitter Sunday.
