    • Sitting Sunday
      Robert is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Detroit.

      Advice: White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Sunday that it's a scheduled day off for Robert as the 26-year-old outfielder eases his way back from his IL stint due to a hip flexor strain, per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. Since returning from the injured list June 4, Robert is slashing .180/.275/.459 with five home runs and seven RBI over 61 at-bats. Tommy Pham will start in center field while Andrew Benintendi and Gavin Sheets man the corners against Tigers right-hander Reese Olson. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:37 am
       
    • Luis Robert Jr. not in Sunday’s lineup vs. Tigers
      Luis Robert Jr. is not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the division-rival Tigers.

      Advice: It appears to be a routine off day for Robert, who has made nine consecutive starts for Chicago dating back to June 13. The 26-year-old is batting .180 (11-for-61) with five homers and two steals in 17 games since returning earlier this month from a lengthy stint on the injured list. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:05 am
       
    • Aaron Judge at designated hitter Sunday vs. Braves
      Aaron Judge is at designated hitter for Sunday’s series finale against the Braves.

      Advice: Judge will likely spend additional time at designated hitter moving forward in the wake of Giancarlo Stanton’s unfortunate hamstring injury. The 32-year-old generational talent slugged his major league-leading 28th home run of the season during Saturday night’s win at Yankee Stadium and is in the midst of one of the best extended stretches of his career. It can only be a positive thing for his immediate health for him to get a break from playing center field everyday, at least for a few weeks leading into next month’s All-Star break.

    • Demolishes 23rd homer
      Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's win over the Angels while also drawing a walk.

      Advice: Ohtani jumped on a hanging slider from Zach Plesac in the third inning and launched it 459 feet into the stands in right-center field for his 23rd home run of the season. The superstar slugger has now homered in three consecutive games and has collected at least one RBI in seven straight. Over that latter stretch, he's batting .481 (13-for-27) with six homers, 13 RBI and 10 runs scored. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:15 am
       
    • Serving as DH sans Stanton
      Judge will serve as the designated hitter and bat third for Sunday's series finale against Atlanta.

      Advice: With Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) placed on the injured list Sunday, Judge will have more turns at DH while Trent Grisham gets reps in the outfield, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. For the month of June, Judge is slashing a blistering .381/.494/.857 with eight home runs and 25 while boasting a 1.351 OPS. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:43 am
       
    • Placed on IL with hamstring strain
      The Yankees placed Stanton on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain.

      Advice: Stanton exited in the fourth inning of Saturday's 8-3 win over Atlanta after injuring his left hamstring while scoring from second base on a Gleyber Torres double. Trent Grisham came off the bench to replace Stanton on Saturday, and the former could be in line for a near-everyday role in the outfield against right-handed pitching while the Yankees perhaps look to give Aaron Judge and others more time at designated hitter sans Stanton. With Stanton on the IL, the Yankees recalled infielder Oswald Peraza from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:12 am
       
    • Giancarlo Stanton lands on IL with hamstring strain
      Yankees placed OF Giancarlo Stanton on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

      Advice: Stanton is slated to undergo an MRI on Sunday to determine the severity and how much time he’ll likely wind up sidelined. Fantasy managers should anticipate him missing at least a few weeks, even if it’s a low-grade strain. The 34-year-old slugger, who has 18 homers in 69 games this season, suffered the injury during Saturday’s contest against the Braves. The timing is extremely unfortunate for the Yankees, and fantasy managers, as there isn’t a clear replacement for him at the moment with top prospect Jasson Domínguez on the shelf at Triple-A due to an oblique strain.

    • Shohei Ohtani homers again, Dodgers crush Angels
      Shohei Ohtani homered for the second consecutive contest against his former team during Saturday’s Freeway Series finale, leading the Dodgers to a commanding 7-2 victory over the Angels.

      Advice: Ohtani connected for his 23rd round-tripper of the season in the fourth inning of Saturday’s Freeway Series finale against his former organization, launching a gargantuan 459-foot two-run moonshot to right-center field off Angels starter Zach Plesac as part of the Dodgers’ four-run explosion in the frame. The 29-year-old fantasy superstar homered in both games of the two-game set at Dodger Stadium and has gone deep a staggering six times over his last seven contests since June 16. Unreal.

    • Productive in win
      Judge went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Saturday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

      Advice: Judge generated runs in a variety of ways. His first-inning blast put the Yankees ahead, and he drew a bases-loaded walk in the sixth to tack on an insurance run. Even one of his outs, a groundout into a double play, allowed a run to score in the third. Judge has three homers over his last five contests and is up to 28 long balls this year as he continues to pace the majors. He's added a spectacular .301/.425/.692 slash line with 70 RBI, 59 runs scored and five stolen bases through 77 games, a level of production quite similar to his MVP campaign from 2022.
