  • 15-51-4 12th Place
    • Walk-off hit in return
      Hoerner went 1-for-5 with one RBI in Tuesday's 4-3 extra-inning win over Atlanta.

      Advice: Hoerner had a relatively unimpressive return after missing over a week with a hamstring issue, but he made up for it with a one-out, walk-off single in the 10th inning. The infielder is slashing .267/.357/.385 with two home runs, 13 RBI, 25 runs scored and five stolen bases over 185 plate appearances. Hoerner's return will likely mean less playing time for Nick Madrigal moving forward, assuming Hoerner doesn't suffer a setback with his hamstring. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:31 pm
       
    • Nico Hoerner back in lineup Tuesday vs. Braves
      Nico Hoerner (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Braves.

      Advice: It’s an extremely encouraging development for fantasy managers as Hoerner is back at second base and batting sixth on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field following a six-game absence due to left hamstring tightness. The hope here is that he received enough time off to put the issue to bed completely. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:44 pm
       
    • Returns to lineup Tuesday
      Hoerner (hamstring) will start at second base and bat sixth in Tuesday's game versus Atlanta.

      Advice: Hoerner hasn't played in more than a week due to a left hamstring injury, but he's finally feeling well enough to give it a go Tuesday. Dansby Swanson is also back from an injured-list stint, so the Cubs will have their middle-infield duo back together for the first time since May 7. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:33 pm
       
    • Hitting bench Monday
      Grissom is out of the lineup for Monday's game at Tampa Bay, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

      Advice: Grissom started the previous four games but will take a seat after going 2-for-15 during that stretch. David Hamilton will step in at the keystone and bat seventh in the series opener versus the Rays. Rotowire.com Monday, 1:11 pm
       
    • Vaughn Grissom gets a night off on Monday
      Vaughn Grissom is not in the Red Sox lineup on Monday.

      Advice: David Hamilton will play second base with Ceddanne Rafaela at shortstop. Grissom is off to a rough start to the year, but he’s played in just 13 games after losing 14 pounds while battling the flu. He has just a 20.8 percent strikeout rate and 11 hard-hit baseballs in 13 games but a .171 BABIP. It may take him a while to shake the rust and feel back to full strength, but he’ll be just fine.

    • Extends, ends streak
      Marte went 2-for-4 with a walk and two runs scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over Detroit.

      Advice: Marte extended a hit streak to 18 games with a second-inning single. His single two innings later ended another streak: the switch hitter entered Sunday's contest with exactly one hit in 15 consecutive games. It seems counter-intuitive, but Marte's batting average has actually dropped during the streak, from .307 to .292. It should be noted he's done more than just hit singles during the run; Marte has four doubles, two triples, four home runs, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored over those 18 games.

    • Remains out Sunday
      Hoerner (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Make it six straight absences for Hoerner, who continues to nurse a sore left hamstring. He was still hoping to avoid the injured list as of Friday, but it's reasonable to think Hoerner to the IL could be the move to accommodate the return of Dansby Swanson (knee) on Tuesday. Nick Madrigal has been serving as the Cubs' primary second baseman in Hoerner's absence. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:40 am
       
    • Nico Hoerner (hamstring) remains out Sunday
      Nico Hoerner (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Pirates.

      Advice: Hoerner is going to miss a sixth straight game while recovering from tightness in his left hamstring. The 27-year-old is considered day-to-day, but a trip to the injured list can’t completely be ruled out. Nick Madrigal is the starting second baseman and will hit seventh against the Pirates on Sunday. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:36 am
       
    • Extends hitting streak to 17 games
      Marte went 1-for-4 with an RBI triple and a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: Marte went down on strikes in each of his first two at-bats before driving in the first run of the game with a one-out triple in the bottom of the sixth. He would come home to score as well on a Joc Pederson single in the following at-bat, though the effort would fall short as Detroit stormed back in the seventh to take the lead. The triple was Marte's second of the season and extended his hitting streak to 17 games. However, he's recorded only one multi-hit game over that stretch and is batting just .246 in May with four homers, 10 RBI and seven runs scored. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:00 am
