  • Showcases power, speed
    Lindor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two stolen bases during Sunday's 4-2 win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Lindor notched his fourth homer of the last nine games, tagging Lance Lynn for a solo shot in the sixth frame. The shortstop also notched his 14th multi-steal game of his career, marking his second and third pilfers of the campaign. During his last nine appearances, Lindor is batting .306 with nine RBI and six runs scored. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Swipes two more bases
    Rocchio went 2-for-3 with two runs scored during Sunday's extra-inning loss to Atlanta.

    Advice: Rocchio provided two of the Guardian's three runs, picking up his first multi-hit game since April 6 (16 games). The 23-year-old has stolen four bases this season and has scored 12 times in 90 plate appearances. However, Rocchio is still chasing his first big-league homer through 48 games and is slashing .215/.292/.304. Rotowire.com Today, 7:36 pm
     
  • Luis Rengifo swats first home run in loss Sunday
    Luis Rengifo swatted his first home run of the season on Sunday afternoon as the Angels fell to the Twins.

    Advice: The versatile 27-year-old tagged Twins’ right-hander Pablo Lopez for his 372-foot (95.7 mph EV) two-run shot in the fifth inning. He was also hit by a pitch in the seventh inning and scored on an RBI single off the bat of Mike Trout. Rengifo finished the afternoon 1-for-3 and is now hitting a solid .289/.341/.395 with a homer, eight RBI and seven stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Today, 5:05 pm

  • Mauricio Dubón goes 0-for-4 against Rockies
    Mauricio Dubón went 0-for-4 as the Astros’ center fielder Sunday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Jake Meyers isn’t supposed to be hurt, but he hasn’t started since taking a pitch off his forearm on Wednesday. Dubón has played center field in two of the last three games, while Chas McCormick slid over to center on Saturday. Dubón’s .279/.302/.393 line isn’t anything special, and while he’s fine there, he’s not quite the center fielder that Meyers is. He really shouldn’t be getting the majority of the playing time.

  • Anthony Volpe homers, reaches four times
    Anthony Volpe went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and two walks Sunday against the Brewers.

    Advice: A much-improved game for Volpe, who came into the day 7-for-47 with no homers and a 16/1 K/BB ratio in his previous 11 games. The Yankees haven’t wavered on using him as a leadoff man, even though he’s mostly struggled since moving up two weeks into the season. It’s definitely best for his fantasy value if they keep him there. Rotoworld Today, 3:13 pm
     
  • Maikel Garcia picks up hit in loss
    Maikel Garcia went 1-for-4 with a double in loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: It wasn’t a tremendous performance from Garcia, but the Royals had just four hits on the day. The double gave Garcia a hit in eight of his last 10 games to up his slash line to .223/.276/.384. If he was dropped after his cold stretch, you should be adding him because the 24-year-old remains a talented hitter who will play every day in Kansas City. Rotoworld Today, 1:46 pm
     
  • On bench Sunday
    Ahmed is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Ahmed started the previous 12 games but will take a seat Sunday after he posted a .616 OPS during that stretch. Tyler Fitzgerald will receive a start at shortstop and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 12:13 pm

  • Checks out of starting nine
    Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: After starting each of the past four games at shortstop while producing three hits and adding two stolen bases and one run over 12 at-bats, Moore will give way to Leonardo Rivas in the series finale. Moore should still see the bulk of the starts at shortstop for the duration of J.P. Crawford's (oblique) stay on the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 11:37 am

  • Takes seat Sunday
    Alexander is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Alexander has gone 9-for-24 with five doubles, a homer, nine RBI and four runs over his past seven games, but he'll head to the bench Sunday. Kevin Newman will start at shortstop in the series finale at Seattle. Rotowire.com Today, 11:21 am
