  • Angels cut Cole Tucker from roster
    Angels designated INF/OF Cole Tucker for assignment.

    Advice: Tucker hit just .180/.263/.300 in 57 plate appearances for the Angels. He still offers plenty of defensive versatility, but it’s just not enough to justify a roster spot. Rotoworld Monday, 2:49 pm
     
  • Sitting out Monday
    McMahon is out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting McMahon is getting just his third day off of the season with a left-hander (James Paxton) on the mound for the Dodgers. Alan Trejo will step in at third base in place of McMahon, who has started to heat back up over the past week with seven hits -- including two home runs -- in his last 20 at-bats.

  • Clubs homer in win
    Henderson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Phillies.

    Advice: Henderson worked a nine-pitch at-bat to lead off the first inning, and it ended with him taking Zack Wheeler deep. It was Henderson's lone hit in the game, but it was enough to extend his hitting streak to 10 contests, a span in which he's gone 14-for-43 (.326) with three long balls. The star shortstop is up to 22 homers, 49 RBI, 56 runs scored, nine stolen bases and a .274/.370/.588 slash line through 70 games in his breakout campaign. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:44 pm
     
  • Impresses in doubleheader
    Lewis went 3-for-7 with two home runs, three RBI, three walks and three runs scored as the Twins swept Sunday's doubleheader versus the Athletics.

    Advice: Lewis has done nothing but mash since returning from a quadriceps injury he suffered Opening Day. This was the second time since his injury that he's homered in consecutive contests, and he's up to seven long balls in just 11 games this season. He's added 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, two doubles and no stolen bases while batting .390 with a 1.398 OPS over 47 plate appearances. He's seen steady time between third base and designated hitter, though his lengthy injury may give the risk-averse fantasy manager caution despite Lewis' clear upside.

  • Jose Miranda powers Twins past Athletics on Sunday
    Jose Miranda slugged a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning on Sunday night, powering the Twins to an 8-7 victory over the Athletics in the nightcap of their doubleheader.

    Advice: Miranda did his damage off of Dany Jimenez in this one, crushing a first-pitch slider for a 427-foot (105.6 mph EV) solo shot that proved to be the difference in the ballgame. It was his only hit in two at-bats on the night. For the season, the 25-year-old is now hitting .280/.320/.473 with seven long balls and 24 RBI. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:04 pm
     
  • Royce Lewis homers in both halves of doubleheader
    Royce Lewis clobbered a two-run homer in the first inning on Sunday night as the Twins took both games of their doubleheader against the Athletics.

    Advice: The 25-year-old superstar got things started with a bang in this one, demolishing a 427-foot (104.6 mph EV) two-run shot off of Joey Estes in the opening inning. He also homered in the first game of the doubleheader and has now slugged seven long balls in his first 12 games on the season. Lewis finished the night 1-for-3 with a pair of walks and two runs scored and is now slashing a laughable .390/.447/.951 with seven homers and 11 RBI. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:02 pm
     
  • Breather in Game 2
    Miranda is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader with the Athletics.

    Advice: Miranda will head to the bench after he went 2-for-4 in the team's 6-2 win in Game 1. Trevor Larnach will slot in at designated hitter while Manuel Margot enters the lineup in left field and bats seventh against Oakland. Rotowire.com Sunday, 3:05 pm
     
  • Lewis blasts sixth home run in win Sunday
    Royce Lewis went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk against the Athletics on Sunday.



    Advice: Lewis continues to mash the ball since returning from the injured list. He’s now hit six home runs in 42 plate appearances this season. It’s a tiny sample size, but he’s hitting .395 with a .526 ISO on the year.

  • Drawing fourth straight start
    Moore will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Moore will pick up his fourth consecutive start in the infield since making his return from the paternity list Thursday. He'll likely serve as the Mariners' primary option at the keystone before moving into a utility role once Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is ready to come off the 10-day injured list.
