  • Goes deep Tuesday
    Smith went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and scored twice during Tuesday's 7-1 win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Smith's second-inning single and sixth-inning solo shot give the 26-year-old infielder his third multi-hit game in his last five contests. He is 7-for-14 two homers, three RBI and three runs scored during that stretch and now boats an impressive .917 OPS on the season while filling in as Josh Jung's (wrist) replacement.

  • Scores twice in loss
    Siri went 1-for-2 with an RBI, two runs scored and was hit by a pitch during Tuesday's loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: Siri homered off Freddy Peralta in the third inning to get the Rays on the scoreboard and was hit by a pitch during his next at-bat in the fifth frame, resulting in Peralta's ejection. He came around to score in the fifth but was later ejected himself after getting into a fight with Brewers reliever Abner Uribe in the eighth inning. Despite being the most productive member of the Rays' lineup Tuesday, Siri is still slashing just .186/.276/.302 and has struck out in 41 of his 86 at-bats this season, giving him extremely little fantasy value even in the deepest of leagues.

  • Lifts game-tying homer
    Florial went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 10-9 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Florial's sixth-inning blast tied the game at 8-8. It was his third homer of the year and his first to come against a team other than the Yankees. Florial's playing time has been slipping recently, mostly as a product of David Fry working his way into the lineup more frequently. The right-handed Fry, a natural catcher, will occasionally serve as the designated hitter or push one of the Guardians' regulars into that spot at Florial's expense. For the year, Florial is batting just .229 with an .827 OPS through 56 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:53 pm
     
  • Goes deep in nightcap
    Donovan went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in an 11-6 loss to the Tigers in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: Donovan sparked the Cardinals' fifth-inning rally with his homer. The utility man had hit safely in five straight games before going 0-for-4 in the matinee contest. Donovan is slashing .228/.311/.377 with three homers, 16 RBI, 13 runs scored and no stolen bases over 132 plate appearances this season. He remains the Cardinals' preferred leadoff batter and left fielder despite his mediocre hitting so far. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:35 pm

  • Johan Rojas delivers ninth-inning homer in victory
    Johan Rojas hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to lead the Phillies past the Angels 7-5 on Tuesday.

    Advice: Nick Castellanos had already tied the game with a solo shot before Rojas provided the difference maker. It was Rojas’s first homer in 91 plate appearances this season. Fortunately, he’s continued to play his usual excellent defense, and Whit Merrifield hasn’t been able to force his way into the lineup. Rojas isn’t a mixed-league guy right now, but with his ability to steal bases, he doesn’t need to be all that much better offensively to get to that kind of level. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:34 pm
     
  • Luis Rengifo goes 3-for-4, homers in loss
    Luis Rengifo finished 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI versus the Phillies in Tuesday’s loss.

    Advice: New Angels manager Ron Washington made it very clear early on that he wasn’t a Rengifo fan, but at this point, it’s hard to justify not batting him first. He was in the fifth spot tonight. but he has about 60 points of OBP on leadoff man Nolan Schanuel, and he’s definitely the more effective baserunner of those two. Rengifo should be of use in mixed leagues if and when the Angels bat him at the top of the order regularity, Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:34 pm

  • Goes yard again
    Rengifo went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run during Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Rengifo gave the Angels a lead in the sixth inning, tagging reliever Yunior Marte for a three-run shot to plate Taylor Ward and Brandon Drury. After going homerless in his first 22 games, Rengifo has clobbered long balls in two of his last three contests and has scored five times in his last five games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:30 pm

  • White Sox outright Zach Remillard to Triple-A
    White Sox sent INF Zach Remillard outright to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Remillard went unclaimed on waivers and will likely wind up sticking around with the White Sox as extra organizational depth after being removed earlier this week from the club’s 40-man roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:11 pm

  • Jose Siri hits second homer of season vs. Brewers
    Jose Siri went 1-for-2 with a home run and two runs scored in Tuesday’s loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: Siri’s homer, his second of the season, gave the Rays their first run in what would prove to be a low-scoring night for the offense. The Rays were held to just two runs and five hits, as Freddy Peralta was at the top of his game for much of the evening. Siri entered Tuesday hitting just .179 after hitting safely in just three of his last 12 games. He was also ejected for his role in an eighth inning brawl with Brewers reliever Abner Uribe. Siri has struggled to get much of anything going through the first month of the year and is not worth a roster spot in fantasy leagues at this time. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:44 pm
