    • Logs steal in loss
      Garcia went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Yankees.

      Advice: Garcia has three steals over his last seven games, but he's gone just 5-for-32 (.156) in that span. He surged at the plate over the second half of May, but it appears he's leveled off again. The third baseman is slashing .251/.299/.373 with 16 steals, five home runs, 36 RBI and 43 runs scored over 66 contests out of the leadoff spot for the Royals. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:48 pm
       
    • Removed with back tightness
      Ward was removed from Tuesday's game against Arizona due to lower-back tightness.

      Advice: The Angels described Ward's removal as precautionary, so it's unlikely he's dealing with a serious injury. The 30-year-old outfielder had gone 2-for-2 with a solo home run, an RBI double and a walk before leaving in the eighth inning, and he's now slashing .253/.331/.452 with 12 homers and 36 RBI on the season.

    • Taylor Ward leaves game with lower back tightness
      Taylor Ward left Tuesday’s game for precautionary purposes due to lower back tightness.

      Advice: Ward was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the rout after homering, doubling and walking in three plate appearances. He’s day-to-day. If he can’t play Wednesday, then Kevin Pillar figures to get a start against a right-hander. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:56 pm
       
    • Walks off Chicago
      Lowe went 1-for-5 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: After the Rays tied the game earlier in the ninth, Lowe launched a 3-2 splitter from Hector Neris into the right-field bleachers for a three-run homer, giving Tampa Bay a 5-2 victory. It's the third homer for Lowe this season and his second in six games -- he's gone 6-for-23 (.261) with 10 RBI in that span. Overall, the 29-year-old second-baseman is batting .205 with a .711 OPS, 18 RBI and 11 runs scored through 26 games this season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:36 pm
       
    • Brandon Lowe hits game-winning home run
      Brandon Lowe went 1-for-5 with a game-winning home run in a 5-2 win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

      Advice: Lowe had been hitless in the game before coming to the plate in a tie game in the ninth and belting a 287-foot home run off Hector Neris for his third home run on the season. Lowe is now 8-for-30 in June with two home runs and 10 RBI while playing most days for the Rays. His batting average will likely never be overly high, but he does tend to get hot for stretches and the power is certainly real. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:27 pm
       
    • Kyle Tucker (shin) has yet to ramp up activity
      Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters Kyle Tucker (shin) has yet to resume baseball activities.

      Advice: Tucker is off crutches, but remains shut down for the moment as he continues to recover from a painful right shin contusion. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar figures to be ready to return soon, but that won’t be until he’s able to resume running again. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:17 pm
       
    • Crushes another homer
      Lewis went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Monday's win over Colorado.

      Advice: Lewis blasted a Nick Mears curveball 435 feet in the eighth inning, stretching Minnesota's lead to 5-0. The Twins third baseman has impressively hit four homers in seven games this season, requiring just 24 plate appearances. Overall, Lewis is hitting .333 (7-for-21) with five runs scored, six RBI and 2:5 BB:K. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:32 pm
       
    • Lewis blasts fourth home run Monday
      Royce Lewis went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and a two-run home run against the Rockies on Monday.

      Advice: Lewis’ home run was his fourth of the season in only seven games played. He’s done quite a job at making up for lost time. Lewis hit 15 home runs with a .240 ISO in 58 games last year before putting on a power display in the playoffs as well. He continues to show that his power is legitimate. Lewis just needs to stay on the field to be a major contributor this year. Rotoworld Monday, 7:12 pm
       
    • Sheds crutches
      Tucker (lower leg) is no longer using crutches and remains hopeful for a Friday return, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: As Rome points out, Tucker has yet to be cleared to resume baseball activities, but the team is optimistic about his chances of being activated after missing the 10-day minimum. Houston should have a better idea of an exact return date for Tucker later in the week. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:10 pm
