  • Kevin Newman hits walk-off single against Reds
    Kevin Newman went 4-for-5 with a walkoff two-run single in the ninth inning to give the Diamondbacks a 6-5 win Monday over the Reds.

    Advice: Newman poked a single to right to score a pair of runners and turned a potential 5-4 loss into a 6-5 win. The 30-year-old former first-rounder has hit just .253 even with those four hits, and what was once an intriguing fantasy prospect is now someone who can be ignored on waivers. Monday was a good one, however. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:04 pm

  • Jorge Polanco leaves with hamstring tightness
    Jorge Polanco was removed from Monday’s game against the Royals with tightness in his right hamstring.

    Advice: Polanco exited the game and was replaced by Luis Urias, with Urias taking over at third and Josh Rojas moving to second. It’s a concerning development, especially for a hitter that has battled injuries over the last few years. There should be a further update on Polanco before Tuesday’s game against Kansas City.

  • Elehuris Montero knocks in three to lead Rockies
    Elehuris Montero doubled, singled and drove in three runs Monday in leading the Rockies to a 5-4 win over the Padres.

    Advice: This is big for Montero, who was on the bench in favor of Hunter Goodman the previous two days. He was hitting .156 this month, leaving him with an ugly .203/.250/.280 line for the year and putting him in danger of being DFA’d when the Rockies get Kris Bryant and Nolan Jones back from the IL. Tonight, though, will probably get him another week’s worth of starts. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:52 pm
     
  • Nolan Arenado hits solo shot in win over Angels
    Nolan Arenado hit a solo homer Monday in a victory over the Angels.

    Advice: The Cardinals trailed 4-0 entering the seventh inning. Arenado got St. Louis on the board with a solo shot in that frame. Nine more runs would score for the Cardinals. The Angels might not be very good. Arenado now has three homers and 21 RBI at the quarter mark. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:33 pm
     
  • Drives in four runs
    Ramirez went 2-for-3 with four RBI, two stolen bases, and two walks in Monday's win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Ramirez knocked two-run singles in both the eighth and ninth innings Monday. It was his first time drawing multiple walks or stealing multiple bases in a game this season. Ramirez was stuck in a 1-for-19 slump over his previous six games before Monday's performance. The veteran third baseman bumped his slash line to .242/.294/.455 with 37 RBI, seven steals and 16 extra-base hits through 41 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:40 pm
     
  • Ramirez has four RBI in win Monday
    Jose Ramirez went 2-for-3 with two walks, two stolen bases and four RBI in the Guardians’ win against the Rangers on Monday.

    Advice: Ramirez contributed to the Guardians’ win with two-run singles in both the eighth inning and ninth inning. He also stole two bases which gives him seven on the season. Ramirez’ average is merely .242 on the season, but he’s up to 37 RBI in 41 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:39 pm
     
  • Leaves with hamstring issue
    Polanco was removed from Monday's game against the Royals due to right hamstring tightness.

    Advice: The severity of Polanco's injury is unclear, though he's likely headed for further testing. Josh Rojas and Luis Urias could see more opportunities at second base if Polanco is forced to miss additional time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:36 pm

  • Bregman blasts two homers Monday
    Alex Bregman went 3-for-4 with a double, two home runs, three runs scored and four RBI in the Astros’ win over the Athletics on Monday.



    Advice: Bregman homered in the fourth inning and seventh inning before adding a two-run double in the eighth inning for good measure. He’d been off to a slow start so far this season and the Astros have even moved him down in the batting order. More games like this and he’ll be back in the middle of the order.

  • Exits with toe injury
    Morel left Monday's game against Atlanta after fouling a ball off his left foot, and he's been diagnosed with a left toe injury, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Morel is reportedly dealing with bumps and bruises, per Lee, so this appears to be a day-to-day type of injury. The Cubs should know more about his availability for the rest of the week after re-evaluating him Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:25 pm
