    • Jurickson Profar homers, knocks in three runs
      Jurickson Profar had a two-run homer and an RBI single to drive in three of the Padres’ four runs Tuesday against the Marlins.

      Advice: We’re still not sure what’s gotten into Profar, but he’s hitting the ball harder than ever and he’s currently boasting a .354 BABIP that’s nearly 90 points better than his career mark. He has to fade some from here, but this is the best he’s ever looked at the plate. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:13 pm
       
    • Logs third steal
      Smith went 1-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch one RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Smith got the Rangers on the board with an RBI single in the third inning. He also stole second in the eighth after he was plunked. Smith has gone 13-for-43 (.302) with two steals over his last 12 contests. During that stretch, Smith has been promoted to the No. 3 spot in the order. He's slashing a sharp .280/.379/.409 with two home runs, three steals, 21 RBI and 24 runs scored over 190 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:10 pm

    • Getting breather
      Melendez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

      Advice: Despite Kansas City facing a right-hander Tuesday, Melendez will miss the Royals starting nine. Instead, Garrett Hampson will play left field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:21 pm
       
    • MJ Melendez singles in Royals’ loss to Twins
      MJ Melendez went 1-for-3 with a single on Monday in the Royals’ loss to the Twins.

      Advice: It’s been a struggle this season at the dish for Melendez as he’s batting just .179 (27-for-151) with four homers and two steals through 47 games. Perhaps the biggest concern here is that he hasn’t connected for a home run since back on April 19. Rotoworld Monday, 1:41 pm
       
    • Lane Thomas activated from the IL
      Nationals activated OF Lane Thomas from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Thomas has been on the IL for just over a month with a knee injury. The 28-year-old was tremendous in 2023 but has gotten off to a brutal start in 2024 with a .184/.250/.253 slash line in 22 games. He will remain a fixture in the Nationals’ lineup and should turn things around in the coming weeks. While he may not reach the highs of 2023, he remains a quality MLB outfielder and his 11 steals on the season signal the type of fantasy upside he has. Victor Robles was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Monday, 10:33 am
       
    • Reinstated from IL
      Thomas (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

      Advice: Victor Robles was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Thomas has been out since late April with a Grade 2 MCL sprain, but he is now ready to roll following a four-game rehab stint with Double-A Harrisburg. Thomas mostly struggled over the first few weeks before landing on the IL, slashing .184/.250/.253 with two homers and 11 steals, but he should immediately slot back in as the starting right fielder for Washington.

    • Lane Thomas (knee) could return Monday for Nats
      Lane Thomas (knee) could return to the Nationals lineup Monday against Atlanta.

      Advice: Thomas has been on the shelf since April 23 with an MCL sprain in his knee, but he started a rehab assignment Tuesday. Nationals manager Dave Martinez told reporters that Thomas will go through drills prior to Monday’s game, and if things go well, he could be activated to play. The 28-year-old was excellent for most of 2023, and he’d be worth fantasy consideration if/when that takes place. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:30 am
       
    • Kerry Carpenter out Sunday against Blue Jays
      Kerry Carpenter is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: With southpaw Yusei Kikuchi on the mound, Carpenter will get a day of rest Sunday after homering in Saturday’s victory. Wenceel Perez will get the start in right field. Colt Keith also is getting the day off with Andy Ibanez starting at second base. Rotoworld Sunday, 6:47 am

    • Sitting against lefty
      Carpenter is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Carpenter will retreat to the bench as the Tigers stock up on extra right-handed bats to counter Blue Jays southpaw Yusei Kikuchi. Wenceel Perez will shift over from his usual spot in center field to cover right field in Carpenter's stead. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:21 am
