    • Aaron Judge fans four times, loses on-base streak
      Aaron Judge struck out all four times up versus the Royals on Thursday to snap a 37-game on-base streak.

      Advice: It was all quiet from the Yankees before the game, but we wonder if something is up with Judge, who was put at DH today even though he just had Monday off and it meant sitting Giancarlo Stanton after he’d homered the previous two days. It was the third golden sombrero of the year for Judge. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:26 pm
       
    • Nolan Arenado leaves game after being hit by pitch
      Nolan Arenado made an early exit from Thursday’s game against the Pirates after being hit by a pitch.

      Advice: Arenado was hit by a pitch on the right hand while striking out in the bottom of the eighth inning and appeared to leave the contest afterwards. However, it’s difficult to confirm since he was in the lineup at designated hitter in this one. There should be an update on his status. He was 0-for-4 with a strikeout prior to leaving.

    • Bounces back
      Kopech struck out two and walked one without allowing a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday against the Mariners.

      Advice: Kopech imploded to allow three earned runs and blow a lead in an appearance Monday, but he managed to bounce back in this outing. He entered the game with the score tied at 1-1 and turned in just his third scoreless effort in his last five appearances. Kopech remains the White Sox's primary closer, though his last save came on May 15. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:43 am
       
    • Tallies three hits Wednesday
      Arenado went 3-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in a 4-2 win against the Pirates on Wednesday.

      Advice: Among Arenado's three hits was a third-inning RBI double that was St. Louis' only extra-base hit of the contest. The veteran third baseman batted .167 over his first seven contests in June but has perked up since, putting together a four-game hitting streak during which he has gone 8-for-16. The hot stretch has improved his season slash line to .264/.320/.386. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:00 pm
       
    • Sitting Wednesday
      Ward (back) isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Lower-back tightness caused Ward to make an early exit from Tuesday's loss, though the Angels labeled his removal as precautionary. He'll remain sidelined Wednesday while Kevin Pillar starts in left field, batting third. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:32 pm
       
    • Taylor Ward (back) held out of lineup on Wednesday
      Taylor Ward (back) was held out of the Angels’ starting lineup for Wednesday evening’s contest against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: The 30-year-old slugger was pulled from Tuesday’s ballgame — as a precautionary measure — due to tightness in his lower back. He’s still considered day-to-day and there haven’t been any rumblings about him requiring a stint on the injured list. Kevin Pillar will start in his place and will bat third for the Halos against Slade Cecconi and the Diamondbacks on Wednesday night in Arizona. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:30 pm
       
    • Activated, optioned to Triple-A
      The Yankees reinstated Dominguez (elbow) from the 60-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

      Advice: Dominguez has been on the injured list all season while recovering from a Tommy John procedure he underwent in September, and though he now appears to have made a full recovery, he will remain in Triple-A for now. The 21-year-old outfield prospect has played in 20 total games with three of New York's minor-league affiliates, slashing .368/.415/.658 with six home runs and 13 RBI in 82 plate appearances. If he continues at his current pace, a return to the majors is likely to come at some point, though he would have to compete against Alex Verdugo, Aaron Judge and Juan Soto for playing time in the Yankees' outfield. Jon Berti (calf) was transferred to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:50 pm
       
    • Yankees activate and option Jasson Dominguez
      Yankees activated OF Jasson Dominguez from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

      Advice: No, unfortunately it’s not the promotion to the big league club that everyone has been waiting for. Time was up on Dominguez’s minor league rehab assignment though, so he needed to be activated from the injured list. The 21-year-old phenom has been obliterating the baseball in the minor leagues — slashing .368/.415/.658 with six homers, 13 RBI and a pair of swipes in his first 82 plate appearances. It’s only a matter of time. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:43 pm
       
    • Homers in blowout win
      Smith went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's 15-2 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Smith got off to a quick start by taking Dane Dunning deep in the first inning to put the Dodgers up 3-0. He'd wind up reaching base three more times before all was said and done and racked up his seventh game of at least three hits this year. Smith has eight hits and six RBI in seven games so far this month. He's now slashing .296/.364/.509 with 10 homers, 42 RBI, 35 runs and a 23:38 BB:K in 247 plate appearances and is trending toward a second-career All-Star appearance this summer.
