  • Willson Contreras doubles twice in win over A’s
    Willson Contreras doubled twice and knocked in a run Monday in the win over the A’s.

    Advice: The Cardinals are still treating Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado as if they’re elite hitters, but Contreras had better OPSs than those two last season and is off to a far better start than both this year; it wouldn’t be a bad idea for the club to hit him higher than at least one of those guys. As is, Contreras, batting .286/.400/.524, has just five RBI while hitting below guys with sub-.300 OBPs. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:24 pm
     
  • Logs steal, scores in win
    Heim went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 1-0 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Heim doubled and scored the game's only run in the fifth inning and has hit safely in four consecutive games. The steal, which is not a big part of his game, was his first of the season. Heim has a career seven stolen bases over 368 MLB games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:07 pm
     
  • Matt Thaiss drives in three as Angels top Rays
    Matt Thaiss went 1-for-3 with three RBI in a victory for the Angels on Monday.

    Advice: Thaiss extended the Angels’ lead to 5-1 with a three-run double in the in the eighth inning. The former first-round pick hasn’t gotten much playing time thus far, and with Logan O’Hoppe locked into an everyday role, that’s unlikely to change. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:28 pm
     
  • Lands on 10-day IL
    The Nationals placed Ruiz (illness) on the 10-day injured list Monday, retroactive to April 12, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Ruiz has been out since April 8 while battling an illness, which has been severe enough for the Nationals to place the catcher on the IL. Riley Adams will start behind home plate in Ruiz's absence, while Drew Millas will serve as the backup after being called up from Triple-A Rochester by the Nationals on Monday.

  • Back to big leagues
    The Nationals recalled Millas from Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Millas was called up by the Nationals on April 10. He started that game against the Giants at catcher, going 1-for-3. The move corresponds with Washington placing fellow catcher Keibert Ruiz on the 10-day IL, retroactive to April 12. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:48 pm
     
  • Keibert Ruiz placed on injured list with Influenza
    Nationals placed C Keibert Ruiz on the 10-day injured list with Influenza.

    Advice: Ruiz has not been able to play while dealing with the illness, and the Nationals won’t continue to play shorthanded. Drew Millas has been recalled from Triple-A to take Ruiz’s place on the roster. Assuming no setbacks, Ruiz should be back by the end of April. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:46 pm
     
  • Drew Millas recalled from Triple-A by Nationals
    Nationals recalled C Drew Millas from Triple-A Rochester.

    Advice: Millas is taking the place of Keibert Ruiz, as Ruiz is being placed on the 10-day injured list with Influenza. Millas will likely be the backup backstop while he’s up, and there’s no fantasy relevance in that profile. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:42 pm
     
  • Placed on 10-day IL
    The Marlins placed Bethancourt (illness) on the 10-day injured list Monday, retroactive to April 14, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bethancourt missed Sunday's game against Atlanta due to illness, and it appears serious enough for the 32-year-old to miss extended time. In a corresponding move, the Marlins selected Jhonny Pereda from Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday. Pereda will serve as the backup catcher to Nick Fortes while Bethancourt recovers from his illness.
