    • Heliot Ramos homers in win over Rockies
      Heliot Ramos went 1-for-4 with a home run in a win over the Rockies on Sunday.

      Advice: The blast was a 409-foot shot that came off the bat at 102.5 mph. It was his first of the season. While teammate Luis Matos has been getting all the attention for his blistering start following his promotion from Triple-A, Ramos is looking good with a .293/.341/.439 triple slash. In fact, Ramos was outplaying Matos in Triple-A as well, with a .296/.388/.565 slash line, eight homers, 21 RBI, and a pair of stolen bases in his first 30 games. While many people will put big bids on Matos this weekend, a small bid on Ramos could go just as far. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
       
    • Jon Berti hits three-run homer versus White Sox
      Jon Berti went 2-for-3 and hit a three-run homer versus the White Sox in Sunday’s win.

      Advice: Berti’s first extra-base hit in 47 at-bats this season was a 366-foot fly that would have been a homer in two ballparks. We’d say the Yankees would have been better off playing him over Oswaldo Cabrera in recent weeks, but it hasn’t mattered much, and DJ LeMahieu is about to trump both players. Rotoworld Today, 2:50 pm

    • Corey Julks homers, reaches three times in loss
      Corey Julks went 2-for-3 with a homer and a walk versus the Yankees on Sunday.

      Advice: Julks isn’t a major league regular, but that’s not really the standard on the White Sox right now, not with Andrew Benintendi looking worse than ever and Gavin Sheets’ defense in right negating his maybe somewhat improved offense. He’ll probably play mostly against lefties, but it’s not like there’d be any harm in starting him against righties, too. Rotoworld Today, 2:50 pm
       
    • Adolis Garcia (forearm) undergoes MRI on Sunday
      Adolis Garcia underwent an MRI exam on his injured right forearm on Sunday which came back clean for any structural damage.

      Advice: The 31-year-old slugger was scratched from the Angels’ lineup on Sunday due to a right forearm issue. It looks like he avoided anything serious though and Rangers’ skipper Bruce Bochy told reporters that he expects Garcia to return to the team’s starting lineup on Tuesday. Rotoworld Today, 2:47 pm

    • Imaging comes back clean
      Garcia (forearm) underwent imaging on his forearm Sunday, which came back clean according to manager Bruce Bochy, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

      Advice: Garcia was scratched from the lineup ahead of Sunday's series finale with the Angels due to right forearm discomfort, but he appears to have avoided any sort of significant injury. The team has an off day Monday, so the outfielder's next opportunity to return to the lineup will come Tuesday on the road versus the Phillies. Rotowire.com Today, 2:43 pm

    • Brent Rooker hits three-run homer in loss
      Brent Rooker went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run on Sunday in a loss to the Royals.

      Advice: Rooker’s homer was his 11th of the season and he scalded this one at 111.7 MPH off the bat. There’s still a lot of swing and miss in his game, but a barrel rate right around 15% and hitting third in the surging A’s lineup has turned him into one of the best run producers in the league early this season.

    • Rengifo has triple and RBI vs Rangers
      Luis Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a walk, a triple, and an RBI in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.

      Advice: Rengifo returned this weekend after being on the IL with an illness and was right back to the top of the batting order, which is good news for his fantasy value. His RBI triple in the seventh inning helped to pad the lead and his walk earlier in the game set him up for a stolen base attempt. While he was thrown out, the fact that he continues to lead off and run makes him a solid bet in most fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Today, 2:38 pm

    • Lorenzen let down by bullpen against Angels
      Michael Lorenzen allowed two runs on three hits in 6 1/3 innings in a loss to the Angels on Sunday.

      Advice: Lorenzen had allowed just two hits in six shutout innings before allowing a lead-off double and a walk to start the seventh. He was able to strike out his last batter, so he left the Rangers with first and second and one out. The Angels would score four runs in that inning with two of them being charged to Lorenzen. The right-hander posted a solid 21 percent whiff rate and mediocre 24 percent CSW while allowing an average exit velocity of just 76 mph. He deserved better and will hope for more help next week against the Twins. Rotoworld Today, 2:28 pm
       
    • Kyle Tucker homers twice in win over Brewers
      Kyle Tucker went 2-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in a 9-4 win over the Brewers.

      Advice: Tucker did strike out in his other three at-bats, but let’s not dampen the day. The 27-year-old blasted a 390-foot home run at 107 mph in the sixth inning and then followed that up with a 99.2 mph home run in the seventh. He’s now up to 15 home runs on the season with 33 RBI and remains one of the better fantasy baseball players in the league. Rotoworld Today, 2:20 pm
