    • Perfect for 26th save
      Helsley picked up the save Sunday against San Francisco, striking out two batters during a perfect ninth inning.

      Advice: Helsley has two more saves than any other closer and is now 26-for-27 on save chances this season. While he's been able to dodge blown saves, Helsley has had to work through plenty of trouble lately, allowing multiple baserunners in seven of his last 12 appearances. Still, the 29-year-old holds a 2.38 ERA and a 40:13 K:BB across 34.0 innings this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:48 pm
       
    • Lifts seventh homer
      Vientos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Vientos has two homers over his last four contests after going deep in the eighth inning Sunday. The third baseman is up to seven long balls, 18 RBI, 19 runs scored, six doubles and no stolen bases while slashing .289/.344/.526 over 125 plate appearances. Vientos has been operating in a starting role at the hot corner since Brett Baty was demoted to Triple-A Syracuse at the end of May. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:25 pm

    • Mark Vientos launches solo homer as Mets roll
      Mark Vientos smashed his seventh home run of the season on Sunday night as the Mets took care of business against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

      Advice: The 24-year-old third baseman demolished a 451-foot (109.3 mph EV) solo shot off of Tyson Miller in the eighth inning that extended the Mets’ lead to 5-2. That would be his lone hit in four at-bats on the night. For the season, he’s hitting a healthy .289/.344/.526 with seven homers and 18 RBI. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:22 pm

    • Luis Arraez has two hits, RBI in loss on Sunday
      Luis Arraez went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and an RBI on Sunday afternoon as the Padres fell to the Brewers.

      Advice: The sweet-swinging 27-year-old got the Padres on the board with a two-out RBI single off of Tobias Myers in the fifth inning. With his two-hit attack, Arraez is now hitting .315/.350/.385 with just two homers, 22 RBI and three stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:55 pm

    • Ryan Helsley records league-leading 26th save
      Ryan Helsley threw a shutout ninth inning to preserve a 5-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.

      Advice: The right-hander didn’t allow a hit while striking out two batters. The effort gave Helsley his league-leading 26th save to go along with a solid 2.81 ERA. He has been one of the best draft day values among relievers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:20 pm
       
    • Dealing with soreness
      Jimenez experienced hamstring soreness in his return to the lineup in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Tigers, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. He started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a run scored.

      Advice: Jimenez made his return from the 10-day injured list Sunday after missing a month with a left hamstring strain, and he now appears to be dealing with a potential setback. The White Sox are set to launch a three-game series at home versus the Dodgers on Monday, and the 27-year-old's status is worth monitoring leading up the 8:10 p.m. ET opening pitch.

    • Eloy Jimenez experiences soreness in hamstring
      Eloy Jimenez said after Sunday’s loss to the Tigers that he experienced renewed soreness in his left hamstring during Sunday’s game.

      Advice: The 27-year-old slugger was activated from the injured list prior to Sunday’s game and hadn’t had any soreness in his hamstring while he was rehabbing in Arizona. It’s unclear if this is going to cause him to miss any additional time, or if it’s something that the oft-injured Jimenez will be able to play through. It’s definitely something that fantasy managers should keep an eye on. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:03 pm
       
    • Tosses seven scoreless
      Sanchez (5-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing three hits and striking out four over seven scoreless innings against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Sanchez was highly efficient, needing just 80 pitches through seven and facing just one batter over the minimum thanks to a couple of timely double plays. The seven innings matched a season high for Sanchez, who tossed his eighth quality start and allowed zero runs over six or more innings for the second time this season. It's also the fifth time in his last six starts that Sanchez has allowed one or fewer runs, and he's posted a 1.78 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with 23 strikeouts over 35.1 innings during that stretch. His next start is scheduled to take place next weekend, when the Phillies welcome Miami into the City of Brotherly Love for a four-game set. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:39 am
       
    • Cristopher Sánchez cruises in win over D-backs
      Cristopher Sánchez shut out the Diamondbacks for seven innings, surrendering just three hits, in the Phillies’ 4-1 win Sunday.

      Advice: Sánchez walked none and struck out four in the 80-pitch outing. He gave up a 387-foot fly to Christian Walker in the first that would have been a homer in nine ballparks, but CBP wasn’t one of them. Sánchez has still allowed just one homer in 84 1/3 innings for the year. He’s 5-3 with a 2.67 ERA. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:33 am
