  • Byron Buxton goes deep to lead Twins on Sunday
    Byron Buxton homered, doubled and drove in a pair of runs on Sunday afternoon, leading the Twins to a 3-0 victory over the Athletics in Oakland.

    Advice: Buxton opened the scoring in the ballgame with a monstrous 432-foot (112.7 mph EV) solo shot on the first pitch that he saw from Hogan Harris in the second inning. He then laced a run-scoring double into center field in the seventh inning that extended the Twins’ lead to 2-0. The 30-year-old outfielder finished the day 2-for-3 and is now hitting .245/.294/.408 with five homers and 25 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:30 pm
     
  • Bryan Reynolds goes 2-for-3, hits 12th homer
    Bryan Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a homer that accounted for Pittsburgh’s only run and a walk Sunday against the Rays.

    Advice: The homer left his bat at just 90 mph, but aided by some wind, it got over the wall at PNC Park. Reynolds’ hitting streak is now at 20 games, and it includes three homers in his last four games. Today’s performance pushed his OPS over .800 for the first time since mid-April.

  • Posts 20-game hitting streak
    Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Rays.

    Advice: Reynolds extended his hitting streak to 20 games with an infield single in the first, then later tied the game with a fourth-inning blast that just cleared the wall in right. It was the 12th home run for Reynolds, who has collected five of those during this current hit streak that spans the entirety of the month of June. Rotowire.com Sunday, 1:36 pm
     
  • Sitting Sunday
    Meyers is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Baltimore.

    Advice: Meyers will get a rest Sunday after going 1-for-8 over the last two games, with his lone hit coming on a three-run home run Friday. Chas McCormick will start in center field Sunday and bat eighth against Orioles right-hander Albert Suarez. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:44 am
     
  • Aaron Judge at designated hitter Sunday vs. Braves
    Aaron Judge is at designated hitter for Sunday’s series finale against the Braves.

    Advice: Judge will likely spend additional time at designated hitter moving forward in the wake of Giancarlo Stanton’s unfortunate hamstring injury. The 32-year-old generational talent slugged his major league-leading 28th home run of the season during Saturday night’s win at Yankee Stadium and is in the midst of one of the best extended stretches of his career. It can only be a positive thing for his immediate health for him to get a break from playing center field everyday, at least for a few weeks leading into next month’s All-Star break.

  • Serving as DH sans Stanton
    Judge will serve as the designated hitter and bat third for Sunday's series finale against Atlanta.

    Advice: With Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) placed on the injured list Sunday, Judge will have more turns at DH while Trent Grisham gets reps in the outfield, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. For the month of June, Judge is slashing a blistering .381/.494/.857 with eight home runs and 25 while boasting a 1.351 OPS. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:43 am
     
  • Triples in win
    Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-4 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Mets.

    Advice: Crow-Armstrong showed off his excellent speed as he delivered his second triple of the season in the comfortable win. The 22-year-old is also a perfect 13-for-13 in stolen base attempts this year across 43 games. With Mike Tauchman (groin) on the 10-day injured list, Crow-Armstrong should see more playing time in the short term, and he can make a fantasy impact with his wheels if he's able to consistently get on base. That's been a struggle for the youngster, however, as he has just a .259 on-base percentage. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:03 am
     
  • Swipes 11th bag
    Palacios went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Pirates.

    Advice: The 27-year-old began the day on the bench, but when Amed Rosario (face) got hit by a 99.6 mph Jared Jones fastball in the first inning, Palacios entered the lineup and ended up being the only Ray with multiple hits in the game. Brandon Lowe (toe) also went down Saturday and figures to miss some time, so Palacios could move into a full-time role in the short term -- Tampa Bay isn't scheduled to face a left-handed starter until it begins a series against the Nationals next weekend. On the season, Palacios is slashing .237/.332/.333 with four homers, 14 RBI, 31 runs and 11 steals in 64 contests. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:58 am

  • Productive in win
    Judge went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a walk in Saturday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Judge generated runs in a variety of ways. His first-inning blast put the Yankees ahead, and he drew a bases-loaded walk in the sixth to tack on an insurance run. Even one of his outs, a groundout into a double play, allowed a run to score in the third. Judge has three homers over his last five contests and is up to 28 long balls this year as he continues to pace the majors. He's added a spectacular .301/.425/.692 slash line with 70 RBI, 59 runs scored and five stolen bases through 77 games, a level of production quite similar to his MVP campaign from 2022.
