  • Pops first homer Tuesday
    Gimenez went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 10-9 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Gimenez started the Guardians' comeback with a two-run blast in the sixth inning. The second baseman has logged three straight multi-hit efforts following a recent 0-for-11 skid. For the season, he's slashing .280/.347/.374 with one homer, 17 RBI, 17 runs scored, four stolen bases, five doubles and a triple over 122 plate appearances. He continues to see a starting role and frequently bats second in the lineup against right-handers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:48 pm
     
  • Swats first homer of season
    Massey went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Massey has hit safely in four straight games, going 4-for-14 with three RBI and three runs scored. The 26-year-old is seeing a majority of the playing time at second base since he returned from a back injury that shelved him for a month. Massey is batting .212 with one homer, five RBI, five runs scored and no stolen bases through 10 contests. Barring a deep slump, Massey should continue to play more frequently than Adam Frazier at second base, though Frazier has also gotten looks in the corner outfield spots and at designated hitter.

  • Goes deep in nightcap
    Donovan went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in an 11-6 loss to the Tigers in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: Donovan sparked the Cardinals' fifth-inning rally with his homer. The utility man had hit safely in five straight games before going 0-for-4 in the matinee contest. Donovan is slashing .228/.311/.377 with three homers, 16 RBI, 13 runs scored and no stolen bases over 132 plate appearances this season. He remains the Cardinals' preferred leadoff batter and left fielder despite his mediocre hitting so far. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:35 pm
     
  • Luis Rengifo goes 3-for-4, homers in loss
    Luis Rengifo finished 3-for-4 with a homer and three RBI versus the Phillies in Tuesday’s loss.

    Advice: New Angels manager Ron Washington made it very clear early on that he wasn’t a Rengifo fan, but at this point, it’s hard to justify not batting him first. He was in the fifth spot tonight. but he has about 60 points of OBP on leadoff man Nolan Schanuel, and he’s definitely the more effective baserunner of those two. Rengifo should be of use in mixed leagues if and when the Angels bat him at the top of the order regularity, Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:34 pm

  • Albies picks up two more hits, RBI in loss to M’s
    Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a loss Tuesday to the Mariners.

    Advice: Albies has driven in runs in both games against Seattle thus far. The switch-hitting infielder got Atlanta on the board in the eighth with a single to score Jarred Kelenic, and Albies is now up to 18 RBI on the season. That numbers even more impressive when you consider that Albies missed time with his toe injury. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:47 pm
     
  • Jorge Polanco hits two-run homer against Atlanta
    Jorge Polanco hit a two-run homer in Seattle’s victory over Atlanta on Tuesday.

    Advice: Polanco gave Seattle a 2-0 lead with a homer off Reynaldo López, and it’s the fourth homer of the season for the second baseman. The former Minnesota Twin stalwart has gotten off to a slow start with just a .176 average and .290 slugging mark, but it seems very likely the results will kick into high gear over the next few weeks/months.

  • Goes yard again
    Rengifo went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run during Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Rengifo gave the Angels a lead in the sixth inning, tagging reliever Yunior Marte for a three-run shot to plate Taylor Ward and Brandon Drury. After going homerless in his first 22 games, Rengifo has clobbered long balls in two of his last three contests and has scored five times in his last five games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:30 pm

  • Santiago Espinal fans three times in defeat
    Santiago Espinal went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts versus the Padres on Tuesday.

    Advice: Remember when Espinal made the AL All-Star team a couple of years ago? It turns out that he’s really not that good. It’s something people knew at the time, but Jose Altuve bailed because he didn’t want to be booed and, thanks to MLB and the players’ vote, the first man in was the guy who had 2 1/2 months of decent stats instead of the actual quality middle infielders. Espinal is batting .185/.240/.246 this season, and he might find himself in the minors if the Reds get Noelvi Marte and Matt McLain back in the second half. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:05 pm
     
  • White Sox outright Zach Remillard to Triple-A
    White Sox sent INF Zach Remillard outright to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Remillard went unclaimed on waivers and will likely wind up sticking around with the White Sox as extra organizational depth after being removed earlier this week from the club’s 40-man roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:11 pm
