    • Productive as leadoff hitter
      Pham went 3-for-7 with a walk, a run scored and an RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

      Advice: Pham has served as the White Sox's leadoff hitter for seven straight games, and he's hit .346 with two runs scored, four RBI and a stolen base in that span. He's lacked power -- he has five extra-base hits across 70 plate appearances -- but has otherwise contributed a well-rounded fantasy line since joining Chicago on April 26.

    • Max Kepler sitting against lefty on Tuesday
      Max Kepler, Edouard Julien, Trevor Larnach and Alex Kirilloff are not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Yankees.

      Advice: The quartet of left-handed batters will take a seat with tough lefty Carlos Rodón toeing the rubber for New York. Kepler has been outstanding of late since returning from the injured list, but figures to continue sitting against southpaws. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:43 pm
       
    • Sitting out Tuesday
      Kepler is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Yankees.

      Advice: The left-handed hitting Kepler is swinging a red-hot bat but will take a seat in this one with the Yankees starting southpaw Carlos Rodon. Manuel Margot will patrol right field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:10 pm
       
    • Benched against lefty
      Kelenic is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Kelenic will retreat to the bench for the series opener versus the Cubs with ace lefty Shota Imanaga taking the bump for Chicago. The right-handed-hitting Adam Duvall will fill in for Kelenic in left field. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:02 pm
       
    • Pops homer Sunday
      Kelenic went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Mets.

      Advice: Kelenic got Atlanta on the board first with a solo home run off Luis Severino in the second inning. He now has two home runs in the last week after having none in all of April and is slashing .274/.322/.393 with seven RBI, 10 runs and a 6:29 BB:K in 90 plate appearances.

    • Unsure about return timeline
      Trout said Thursday that he doesn't yet have a timeline to return from the surgery he underwent on his left knee, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. The slugger also stated that he was given the option to postpone surgery until after the season and play exclusively as a designated hitter, but he opted to get the procedure done immediately.

      Advice: Trout underwent surgery to repair the meniscus in his left knee May 3. The Angels have stated that they expect the three-time AL MVP to return before the end of the season, but it remains unclear exactly how much time he's expected to miss. Though Trout could have played through the injury and held off on surgery in order to serve as the Angels' DH, he may not have been able to do so at his usual level of effectiveness, as he indicated that such a route would have required a high level of injury management and substantial pain.

    • Max Kepler takes a seat against left-hander Friday
      Max Kepler is not in the Twins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s contest against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Kepler will get a rare night off with left-hander Yusei Kikuchi toeing the slab for the Blue Jays. Kepler has been on fire at the plate since returning from the injured list, slashing .434/.492/.755 with three homers, 14 RBI and a stolen base in 16 games. Expect him to come off the bench on Friday night, then he gets to mash against a pair of right-handers over the remainder of the weekend. Rotoworld Friday, 2:44 pm
       
    • Not starting against lefty
      Kepler is not listed as a starter for Friday's matchup against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: The southpaw batter will get a break as Minnesota takes on left-handed starter Yusei Kikuchi. Righty outfielder Manuel Margot will start at right field and bat fifth in place of Kepler. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:48 pm
       
    • Homers Thursday
      Kepler went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, two total RBI and two total runs scored in Thursday's 11-1 win over the Mariners.

      Advice: Kepler extended his hitting streak to 11 games -- he's recorded at least one hit in 15 of his last 16 contests, going 23-for-53 (.434) in that span. It's been quite a start to the year for the 31-year-old Kepler, as he's now slashing .329/.390/.562 with three homers, 14 RBI and 11 runs scored through his first 21 games.
