    • Triston McKenzie claws out a win over the Reds
      Triston McKenzie allowed two runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings in a win over the Reds on Tuesday.

      Advice: The lanky right-hander allowed two extra-base hits and five hard-hit baseballs while striking out four and walking two. He induced just five whiffs on 31 swings for a 16 percent whiff rate and 23 percent CSW on the night. McKenzie had allowed 12 earned runs over 15 1/3 innings in his last three starts, so this was a much better performance, but he’s clearly not healthy and is not missing bats consistently which makes him risky for fantasy leagues. He currently lines up for a two-start week against the Mariners and Blue Jays next week. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:32 pm
       
    • Kyle Schwarber has two home runs in win
      Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in a win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.

      Advice: He hit both of them off Kutter Crawford, including one on the first pitch of the game, which was also his first time back in Fenway Park since playing for the Red Sox. Neither big fly was in any doubt with both of them being hit over 425 feet at at 110 mph or harder off the bat. The 31-year-old now has 13 home runs and 38 RBI on the season to go along with a solid .240 average. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:06 pm
       
    • Mulling season-ending wrist surgery
      Reds manager David Bell revealed Tuesday that Encarnacion-Strand is considering season-ending surgery to repair ligament damage in his right wrist, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Encarnacion-Strand initially went on the 10-day injured list in early May with a fracture in the wrist, but subsequent testing has apparently shown ligament damage. If the infielder opts against surgery, it's not clear how much longer he might be sidelined. Encarnacion-Strand slashed only .190/.220/.293 with two home runs in 29 games before getting hurt.

    • Bell: CES weighing season-ending hand surgery
      Reds manager David Bell told reporters Tuesday that Christian Encarnacion-Strand has ligament damage in his right hand and is considering season-ending surgery.

      Advice: Ugh. Not great. Encarnacion-Strand has been brought along slowly in his recovery from last month’s right hand fracture and was only recently cleared to resume baseball activities. The 24-year-old slugger has yet to be cleared to resume swinging a bat and it sounds like season-ending surgery hasn’t been ruled out as a potential option to address the ligament damage in his hand. Obviously his long-term health is the greater concern here, but it’s a tough loss for Cinciannti, and fantasy managers, if he’s not coming back this season. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:42 pm
       
    • Records two hits in return
      Machado went 2-for-4 in Monday's 6-1 win against Oakland.

      Advice: Machado missed four games due to a strained right hip flexor before returning to the lineup as the Padres' designated hitter Monday. He singled in his first at-bat and reached third base on an ensuing single and walk. Machado notched another single in the seventh and again reached third on a pair of singles before being pulled for a pinch runner, though that decision didn't appear to be related to a worsening of the hip issue. It's unclear when Machado may be asked to play the field again. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:02 am
       
    • Jake Cronenworth hits 10th homer in Padres’ win
      Jake Cronenworth homered, doubled and scored twice as the Padres topped the A’s 6-1 on Monday.

      Advice: Cronenworth has two homers in three games after going his previous 19 games without one. His exit velocity numbers have trended downwards after a surprisingly hot start in April, but he’s still performing better than his decline the previous two seasons indicated he would; he’s back up to .267/.331/.463 after tonight. He has as many homers (10) in 288 plate appearances this year that he did in 522 last season. Rotoworld Monday, 11:31 pm
       
    • Swats homer in victory
      Cronenworth went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs against Oakland in Monday's 6-1 win.

      Advice: Cronenworth put San Diego's first run on the board with a solo homer in the third inning, and he scored again after getting hit by a pitch in the seventh. The second baseman also doubled in the contest, resulting in his first game with multiple extra-base hits since May 3. Cronenworth has put together a modest five-game hitting streak during which he's gone 8-for-19 with two homers, two doubles, six RBI and four runs. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:51 pm
       
    • Extends hitting streak to 16 games
      Tatis went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's 6-1 victory versus the Athletics.

      Advice: Tatis belted a solo shot in the fifth inning to give San Diego a 3-1 lead and extend his personal hitting streak to 16 games. The long ball was his third in his past four contests and his fifth during the streak. Tatis is batting a superb .394 across the 16 games with nine RBI, 12 runs and a stolen base.

    • Manny Machado (hip) rejoins Padres lineup as DH
      Manny Machado is in the lineup as a DH for Monday’s game against the A’s.

      Advice: Machado missed four starts after hurting his hip Wednesday. He’s batting fifth tonight, with Jurickson Profar remaining in the third spot. Machado has moved around the middle of the Padres lineup some this season, but he did hit third in the three games preceding his injury. Rotoworld Monday, 2:45 pm
