  • Aaron Judge hits grand slam in loss
    Aaron Judge went 2-for-3 with a walk and five RBI in a loss to the Mets on Tuesday.

    Advice: Judge had an RBI double in the seventh inning with the Yankees down by seven but then crushed a 390-foot grand slam at 109.4 mph that brought the Yankees within two. While the bottom of the Yankees lineup may not be particularly deep, they still have Aaron Judge, which will always make them a threat. The big right fielder now has 29 home runs and 75 RBI already this season, which seems like video game numbers. You’re feeling great if you were able to take him with your first-round pick.

  • India has two hits, two steals in loss
    Jonathan India went 2-for-2 with two walks, three runs scored, and two steals in a loss to the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Advice: India is enjoying a tremendous month of June, going 26-for-72 (.361) with two home runs, 15 runs scored, and three steals. India has also been leading off since TJ Friedl went on the IL, which is more good news for his fantasy value. With Noelvi Marte also nearing a return and this Reds lineup getting deeper, India’s fantasy stock is on the rise. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:26 pm
     
  • Zac Gallen (hamstring) decision coming this week
    Zac Gallen (hamstring) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday.

    Advice: Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters they’ll make a decision on Gallen’s next step following his latest throwing session. The hope here for fantasy managers is that the 28-year-old ace will be ready to jump right back into Arizona’s starting rotation without needing a rehab assignment. There should be a decision on his status at some point later this week. Stay tuned. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:07 pm

  • Catching bullpen session
    Moreno (thumb) will catch Zac Gallen's (hamstring) bullpen session Thursday, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: A sprained left thumb forced Moreno onto the injured list Saturday, and Wednesday's bullpen session will allow him to get a feel for how his thumb feels in his glove after a few days of recovery. Assuming all goes well, there is a strong possibility that the 24-year-old backstop will be able to return from the injured list when eligible next Tuesday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 4:00 pm
     
  • Alek Thomas (hamstring) resumes rehab assignment
    Alek Thomas (hamstring) will resume a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: Thomas hit pause on his rehab assignment last week after experiencing some renewed hamstring soreness, but he’s apparently feeling well enough to get back into game action already. The 24-year-old had been out since late March due to a hamstring strain and several setbacks along the way during his rehabilitation process. However, he appears to be on track to return at some point in early July. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:12 pm
     
  • Makes MLB debut
    Jordan started in right field went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Monday's 11-5 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Jordan made his MLB debut after having his contract selected from Triple-A Louisville earlier in the day. He took the open roster spot created when the Reds placed TJ Friedl (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list. The 28-year-old Jordan played multiple positions in the minors, but Monday's start in right field was his first ever at that position. It's likely he sees most of his at-bats against left-handers.
