    • Homers in return to lineup
      Judge went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Thursday's loss to the Orioles.

      Advice: Judge did his best to bring the Yankees back from a large deficit early with a two-run shot in the third and an RBI single in the fifth, but his effort would fall well short as Baltimore's offense exploded for 17 runs. The long ball was the outfielder's 28th of the season, which leads the majors, and he's now recorded at least one RBI in seven of his last 11 games. Judge is batting .418 in June following Thursday's performance and has seven home runs, 22 RBI and 17 runs scored. He looked fully himself after sitting out one game due to a hand injury after being hit by a pitch Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:18 pm
       
    • Aaron Judge slugs 27th homer in return to lineup
      Aaron Judge went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and three RBI on Thursday in the Yankees’ blowout loss to the Orioles.

      Advice: Judge returned to the Yankees lineup for Thursday afternoon’s showdown against Baltimore after missing only one game with left hand contusion. The home run was his 27th of the season and he’s already up to 67 RBI. Fantasy managers can exhale with the return of one of the best hitters in the game and based on this contest, it doesn’t seem like the hand is bothering him at all.

    • Kyle Gibson (back) will throw on Thursday
      Cardinals manager Oli Marmol said Kyle Gibson “will play catch today” and then check in with the trainers to “determine whether he’ll be available today.”

      Advice: While anything is possible, it seems likely that Gibson will not be available today, which would mean that he’s in line to start on Tuesday against the Braves. He would not be a recommended stream for that one. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:39 pm
       
    • Likely to start Tuesday
      Gibson (back) is likely to make his next scheduled start Tuesday against Atlanta, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Gibson was a late scratch from Wednesday's start in Miami due to back tightness. He will play catch Thursday to determine whether he could be available in relief for that game, but that's viewed as unlikely. Instead of just pushing his next start back a couple days, the Cardinals seem content to effectively skip his turn and have him ready to go Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:38 pm
       
    • Back in lineup, hitting third
      Judge (hand) will start in center field and bat third in Thursday's game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Judge was removed from Tuesday's 4-2 win over Baltimore after being hit by a pitch on the left hand and sat out Wednesday's 7-6 loss, but he's feeling well enough to give it a go in the series finale Thursday. He and his teammates will face left-hander Cole Irvin. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:13 am
       
    • Says his back is fine
      Gibson said Thursday that he feels fine after being scratched from a scheduled start Wednesday in Miami due to back tightness, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: The pitcher even said he's hoping to pitch in relief Thursday against the Giants, although that seems unlikely. It's not clear when Gibson might make his next start, but it sounds like a stint on the injured list can safely be ruled out. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:19 am
       
    • Plates pair in Wednesday's win
      Rooker went 2-for-3 with two RBI singles and a walk in a win over the Royals on Wednesday.

      Advice: Rooker's timely hitting led to two of the Athletics' five runs, with the veteran driving home JJ Bleday in the third and seventh innings with his pair of singles. Rooker has now hit safely in eight of his last 10 games, but a 42.9 percent strikeout rate has helped lead to a lackluster .211/.262/.368 slash line in that same span.

    • Paul Dejong gets a day off on Thursday
      Paul Dejong is not in the lineup for the White Sox on Thursday against the Astros.

      Advice: Dejong will take a seat with Nicky Lopez sliding over to shortstop and Danny Mendick playing second base. The veteran is having a great month of June, hitting .246 with six home runs, nine runs, and 11 RBI in 17 games. The power is obviously really nice, but the poor team context around him is keeping his counting stats a little low given his home run total. He has also never hit for a high batting average and is still under .250 even with the power, so he’s really just an add if you’re looking for home runs from your middle infield spot.

    • Getting maintenance day
      DeJong is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: He'll receive a breather for the day game after a night game, opening up a turn at shortstop for Nicky Lopez. DeJong had started each of the White Sox's previous 21 games and was one of the team's most productive hitters over that stretch, batting .235 with 11 extra-base hits (seven home runs, four doubles), 12 RBI and 10 runs.
