    • Braves waive INF Joey Wendle
      Braves designated INF Joey Wendle for assignment.

      Advice: Wendle was just signed on Friday, but the Braves needed to make room on the active roster with Sean Murphy coming off the IL. The 34-year-old Wendle has struggled for two years now but can play multiple positions on the infield and could get a shot with another team soon. Rotoworld 50 minutes ago

    • Designated for assignment
      Wendle was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Wendle inked a major-league contract with Atlanta last Friday after being released by the Mets, but he didn't see any action during his brief time with his new club. He should clear waivers and figures to become a free agent again. Rotowire.com Today, 7:34 am

    • Hitting streak reaches 19
      Volpe went 1-for-3 with a walk, a steal and a run scored in Sunday's loss to the Padres.

      Advice: Volpe extended his hitting streak to 19 games with a single in the sixth inning. He would then steal second and come around to score off a Juan Soto double to open up the scoring and force Joe Musgrove out of the game. His hit streak is the longest by a Yankee since Derek Jeter in 2012. Volpe is currently tied for sixth in the American League with 61 hits and tied for fifth with 11 steals. The 23-year-old has been thriving in the leadoff spot for the majority of the season and is now slashing .282/.355/.435 with 18 extra-base hits, 23 RBI, 36 runs and a 22:52 BB:K in 244 plate appearances.

    • Steals two in win
      Hamilton started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 with two steals in Sunday's 2-1 win over Milwaukee.

      Advice: Hamilton has hit well since the middle of the month, going 10-for-30 with five extra-base hits and three steals over the last 10 games. As long as the bat holds up, there should be avenues to playing time for him; if not at shortstop, then second base where Vaughn Grissom has not taken hold of an everyday job.

    • Climbs above .200 again
      Rafaela went 2-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Brewers.

      Advice: Rafaela's eighth-inning double put him in position to score the winning run. He multiple hits in two straight games and has gone 7-for-22 (.318) over the last six. That pushed his batting average to .208, the third time he's climbed above the Mendoza Line this season. Rafaela is a bit of conundrum. He leads the Red Sox in RBI (28) and is fifth in extra-base hits (16), but he's not exactly a good hitter. Boston manager Alex Cora told Alex Speier of The Boston Globe that Rafaela has "big moves" in his swing as he tries to hit for power -- how he loads the swing, the leg kick and the swing itself. For long-term success, Cora believes he needs to shorten his swing. Rotowire.com Today, 5:45 am
       
    • Launches eighth homer
      Abrams went 1-for-4 with a three run home run in Sunday's 9-5 loss to Seattle.

      Advice: Abrams broke out of a minor slump Sunday, slugging his first home run since April 29 and recording his first RBI since May 18. He has cooled off significantly in the month of May, slashing .209/.225/.256 with four RBI and eight runs scored. Despite the recent struggles, the 23-year-old has still had a productive season, batting .257 with eight home runs, 21 RBI, 30 runs scored and eight stolen bases.

    • Ha-Seong Kim leads Padres past Yankees on Sunday
      Ha-Seong Kim went 2-for-3 with a walk, run scored and an RBI on Sunday afternoon, leading the Padres to a 5-2 victory over the visiting Yankees.

      Advice: Kim drove in the go-ahead run with a bunt single off of Victor Gonzalez in the seventh inning, then came around to score on an infield single off the bat of Fernando Tatis Jr. With his two-hit attack, the dynamic 28-year-old infielder is now hitting .216/.333/.362 with six homers, 23 RBI and 13 stolen bases on the season.

    • Logs steal Sunday
      Mateo went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Mateo has racked up five steals while going 6-for-23 (.261) over his last eight games. The infielder is up to 10 thefts on the year, putting him roughly on pace to challenge for a third straight 30-steal campaign. He's slashing .247/.302/.464 with three home runs, nine RBI, 18 runs scored, 10 doubles and a triple over 108 plate appearances, though he's seen a starting role at second base for most of May.

    • Schuemann has two hits, HR in loss to Astros
      Max Schuemann went 2-for-3 with a home run in a loss to the Astros on Sunday.

      Advice: Schuemann also made two errors at shortstop that accounted for four unearned runs, but that likely doesn’t count against you in fantasy leagues. The 26-year-old has become the everyday shortstop in Oakland and has had a decent month of May, hitting 21-for-70 (.300) with two home runs, nine runs, eight RBI, and three steals in 21 games. They’re not numbers that knock your socks off, but they’re certainly viable in deeper formats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:00 pm
