  • Knocks four hits
    Lindor went 4-for-4 with a double, two RBI and three runs scored in Monday's win over Texas.

    Advice: Lindor wasted no time making an impact Monday; through two innings, he was 2-for-2 with an RBI and two runs scored. He singled and scored again in the fourth inning before capping off his big day with an RBI double in the fifth. It was Lindor's third four-hit game of the year and first since May 30. Over his last 24 games, he's gone 33-for-98 (.337) with 15 extra-base hits and 18 runs scored. His season slash line is up to .242/.313/.432 through 319 plate appearances.

  • Lindor has four-hit game in win Monday
    Francisco Lindor went 4-for-4 with three runs scored, a double and two RBI against the Rangers on Monday.



    Advice: Lindor raised his average to .242, which is the highest it’s been all season. He isn’t having his best season, but his wRC+ is up to 116, which isn’t far away from the 121 wRC+ he had last year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:10 pm
     
  • Dodgers expect Betts (hand) to miss 6-8 weeks
    The Dodgers’ current guess is that Mookie Betts will miss 6-8 weeks with a fractured left hand.

    Advice: Sounds about right. The Dodgers will mostly go with Miguel Rojas at shortstop for now; manager Dave Roberts said he’d start three of the four games in Colorado this week. Enrique Hernández figures to get the nod in the other. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:23 pm

  • Likely to miss 6-to-8 weeks
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Monday that the expectation is Betts (wrist) will be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The timeline is a rough estimate, as Roberts noted that much will depend on how Betts' fractured left wrist heals in the coming weeks. If Roberts' suggested timetable holds true, that means Betts will be out at least until late July. Miguel Rojas is expected to be the Dodgers' regular shortstop while Betts is on the shelf.

  • Making rehab start Wednesday
    Padres manager Mike Shildt said that Darvish (groin) will make a rehab start Wednesday with High-A Fort Wayne, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The upcoming rehab start will take a potential return from the 15-day injured list off the table this week, but Darvish shouldn't need more than one tune-up outing in the minors before slotting back into the San Diego rotation. Darvish previously bypassed a rehab assignment when he was on the IL earlier this season due to neck tightness, but the Padres will act more cautiously with the right-hander this time around while he works his way back from a left groin strain that has thus far kept him out for three weeks.

  • Yu Darvish (groin) set for rehab start Wednesday
    The Padres will have Yu Darvish make a rehab start with high-A Fort Wayne on Wednesday.

    Advice: If that goes well, he’ll probably jump right back into the major league rotation at the beginning of next week. Darvish has been out since May 29 with a groin strain. Adam Mazur presumably will make one more start for the Padres this week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:14 pm
     
  • Move to IL official
    The Dodgers placed Betts (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: Betts remains without a clear timeline to return to the Dodgers lineup after fracturing a bone in his left hand/wrist in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Royals, but fantasy managers should prepare for the seven-time All-Star to be out for multiple weeks. The Dodgers recalled outfielder Miguel Vargas from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Vargas could serve as a short-side platoon player while he's up with the Dodgers, as manager Dave Roberts suggested after Sunday's game that Miguel Rojas will get the first chance to replace Betts' spot in the everyday lineup at shortstop.

  • Mookie Betts officially placed on IL
    Dodgers placed INF Mookie Betts on the injured list with a left-hand fracture.

    Advice: We found out the extent of Betts’ injury yesterday, and now the Dodgers make the roster move official to put Betts on the IL. He won’t require surgery, but there is no clear timeline other than the team announcing that Betts will return this year. In fantasy leagues, you simply have to hold onto Betts and hope that he’ll return for enough at-bats to make a difference for your team later this year. Miguel Vargas was called up to take his place on the active roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:57 pm

  • Sitting against lefty again
    Campusano is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: The Padres seem to have opted for a de facto platoon at catcher of late, even though both Campusano and Kyle Higashioka are right-handed hitters. Higashioka will stick in the lineup Monday for the fourth time in the Padres' last five matchups with lefties, while Campusano will take a seat. Campusano should still see the bulk of the playing time behind the dish as the Padres' preferred option against righties. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:40 pm
