    • Getting day off
      Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Boston.

      Advice: After making five straight starts, Mountcastle will take a seat Tuesday. The first baseman has generated a hit in six straight games, going 11-for-25 (.440) with five runs scored and four doubles. Ryan O'Hearn will play first base and bat third while Kyle Stowers fills the DH spot and bats seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 12:25 pm
       
    • Ryan Mountcastle gets Tuesday off vs. Red Sox
      Ryan Mountcastle is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Orioles.

      Advice: Mountcastle will get a day off against Brayan Bello and the Red Sox. Kyle Stowers is the designated hitter for the Orioles with Ryan O’Hearn lined up at first base. Rotoworld Today, 12:19 pm
       
    • Racks up three hits
      Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with a double, one RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 11-3 win over the Red Sox.

      Advice: Mountcastle has hit safely in his last six games, going 11-for-25 (.440) in that span. During the streak, he has a double in four of those six games, though he's added just two RBI and has not hit a home run since May 8. Nonetheless, the first baseman is putting together a strong campaign with a .280/.317/.468 slash line, six homers, 20 RBI, 28 runs scored, 15 doubles, one triple and two stolen bases over 47 games.

    • Andrew Vaughn hitting clean-up on Monday
      Andrew Vaughn will bat clean-up for the White Sox on Monday against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Vaughn has moved all around the lineup but has usually hit second or third in the order. With both Luis Robert Jr. and Eloy Jimenez out, the White Sox are looking for anybody to fill the middle of the order. While Vaughn’s average hasn’t been great this year, he does have four home runs and a .400 slugging percentage in May which is an upgrade from April where he had no home runs and just a .238 slugging percentage. Obviously, there’s still a long way to go, but it’s nice to see Vaughn taking slow steps in the right direction. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:26 am
       
    • Grabbing seat
      Santander is absent from the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Santander has homered twice in his last four contests, but he's also done a lot of swinging and missing of late with 10 strikeouts across his past 25 plate appearances. Kyle Stowers is getting a start in right field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:48 am

    • Hits go-ahead blast
      Santander went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 5-3 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Santander put the Orioles ahead with the second of their three homers in the eighth inning. He's gone 3-for-15 with two homers and four RBI over his last four contests. The outfielder is up to a .205/.284/.432 slash line with nine long balls, 29 RBI, 25 runs scored, 11 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases through 197 plate appearances. Santander started three of the last four games in right field before resting his legs as the designated hitter Saturday, so it looks like he's moved past the bruised knee that bothered him earlier in the week.

    • Anthony Santander launches two-run homer in win
      Anthony Santander went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk to put the Orioles ahead in Saturday’s 5-3 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: After drawing a walk to lead off the seventh inning, Santander took Michael Kopech deep for a two-run blast in the eighth to give the Orioles a one-run lead. It was his second homer in three games. Though, he’s collected only three hits in his last seven. The 29-year-old slugger is hitting .205/.284/.432 with nine homers and 29 RBI across 197 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 2:27 pm

    • Andrew Vaughn homers, doubles against Orioles
      Andrew Vaughn had a solo homer, an RBI double and a walk Friday versus the Orioles.

      Advice: Vaughn had dipped again recently, entering tonight in a 1-for-20 slump. He definitely seems to be swinging better now than he was a month ago, but he’s probably not going to get to the point at which he overcomes being part of such a bad offense in order to contribute in mixed leagues.

    • Goes deep in loss
      Vaughn went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double, two RBI, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's loss to Baltimore.

      Advice: Vaughn knocked an RBI double and came around to score in the fifth inning before belting a game-tying solo shot in the seventh. It was the first time he'd left the yard since his two-homer performance May 14. He has just four home runs with a .587 OPS through 200 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Friday, 9:04 pm
