  • Enters as pinch hitter
    Yoshida entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter and was hit by a pitch in a 4-1 loss to Cleveland.

    Advice: Yoshida was held out of the starting lineup against a righty, with Red Sox manager Alex Cora explaining that decision was more about getting Tyler O'Neill's bat in the lineup and less about Yoshida, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports. Yoshida will be back in the starting lineup Wednesday, per Cora. Rotowire.com Today, 4:48 am
     
  • Back in action
    O'Neill started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: O'Neill was back in the lineup after a stay on the injured list due to a concussion. The Red Sox are coping with injuries to several key players, which means O'Neill's bat should be in the starting nine most days going forward. Rotowire.com Today, 4:45 am
     
  • Provides lone offense
    Abreu batted cleanup and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: Abreu broke a scoreless tie in the seventh inning with the home run, but the Red Sox were unable to build off it. It was the fourth consecutive game that an Abreu hit gave Boston a lead. The outfielder, who has reached base safely in 11 straight games, is batting .361 (13-for-36) with seven extra-base hits and seven walks during his on-base streak. This was the second straight game at cleanup for Abreu, who is needed to help replace the production lost when the team placed Triston Casas (fractured rib) on the IL.

  • Nolan Jones exits Tuesday with back tightness
    Nolan Jones was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Padres due to back stiffness.

    Advice: Jones snapped an 0-for-26 drought at the plate before making an early exit from Tuesday’s contest against the Padres. There should be an update on his status prior to Wednesday’s showdown, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 3:42 am

  • Belts three-run homer
    Jimenez went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, a stolen base and a second run scored during Tuesday's loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Jimenez's fourth-inning shot flipped the score from 1-0 to 3-1, and he came around to score after drawing a walk in the eighth to make it a 5-2 game. The White Sox ultimately were unable to come away with the win Tuesday, but the 27-year-old's offensive outburst propelled him up to a .795 OPS in eight games since returning from the injured list April 15.

  • Homers in win
    Duvall went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and scored twice during Atlanta's 5-0 win over Miami on Tuesday.

    Advice: Duvall came around to score after reaching on a fielder's choice during the second inning, and his sixth-inning home run would end up scoring Atlanta's final two runs in a game that was hardly ever in doubt. Although Duvall played well Tuesday, he remains stuck in the short side of a platoon with Jarred Kelenic and shouldn't be relied on to provide consistent fantasy production -- even on days he does start.

  • Mike Yastrzemski drives in three versus Mets
    Mike Yastrzemski knocked in three runs with two singles against the Mets on Tuesday.

    Advice: Both were rather soft hits, and he struck out in his other at-bat, so we’re not sure we’d say his early slump is over. Yastrzemski is hitting .208/.296/.271 through 55 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:02 pm
     
  • Puts tally in home run column
    Rodriguez went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: After launching 60 combined homers in his first two MLB seasons, Rodriguez was homerless through 22 games in 2024 before tagging Dane Dunning for a two-run shot Tuesday. Despite his lack of long balls, Rodriguez has been a strong fantasy producer, having racked up five multi-hit games and four stolen bases in his last seven appearances.

  • Scores thrice
    Gurriel went 3-for-5 with three runs scored and a run batted in during Tuesday's 14-1 win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Gurriel took part in the Diamondback's offensive bonanza Tuesday, collecting his third three-hit game of 2024 and scoring each time he reached base. The contest continued Gurriel's hot streak at the plate, batting 10-for-24 (.416) with four runs scored and two RBI over his last five games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:16 pm
