  • Hits pinch-hit walk-off
    Caratini went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 10-9 extra-inning win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Caratini pinch-hit for Jake Meyers in the 10th frame and delivered the game-winning home run. The long ball was his second of the campaign and marked his third straight game scoring a run. While Caratini is slashing .314/.368/.571 with eight runs scored and eight RBI in 38 at-bats, he's been overshadowed by starting catcher Yainer Diaz, who has also been excellent at the plate.

  • Cranks first home run
    Wells went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Wells got the Yankees on the board in the third inning, leading off the frame with a 414-foot blast off Dean Kremer, his first of the season. The 24-year-old Wells has started to turn things around at the plate -- he's now 7-for-16 with three extra-base hits in his last four games after going 0-for-21 in his previous nine contests. Wells is now slashing .196/.338/.294 with seven runs scored and three RBI through 65 plate appearances this season while sharing catching duties with Jose Trevino. Rotowire.com Today, 8:54 pm
     
  • Caratini walk of homer lifts Astros over Guardians
    Victor Caratini went 1-for-1 with a home run and two RBI in the Astros’ win over the Guardians on Tuesday.

    Advice: Caratini’s second home run of the season came in dramatic fashion while also helping the Astros complete a comeback that started with a three-run deficit in the first inning. On a night when the Astros homered three times and sent two three-run bombs into the seats, it was Caratini’s two-run homer in extras that sent fans home happy. Down 9-8 in the bottom of the 10th and with two outs, Caratini was brought on to pinch hit for Jake Meyers and wasted little time at the plate to secure the win, ripping a 1-0 fastball from Hunter Gaddis into the stands for the walk-off win. Caratini has hit in three straight games but has appeared in only 14 games this season. Despite the big night in a clutch spot, he can remain on waivers for next week. Rotoworld Today, 8:43 pm
     
  • Rutschman has two hits in win over Yankees
    Adley Rutschman went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a win over the Yankees on Tuesday.

    Advice: It wasn’t an exceptional day for Rutschman on Tuesday, but he was the only Oriole to pick up multiple hits. His two singles upped his triple slash to .322/.362/.449 with 18 RBI on the season. He has a surprisingly low 5.7 percent walk rate on the season, but the rest of the profile has been exactly as expected for one of the best fantasy catchers in the game.

  • Austin Wells has two hits, HR in loss to BAL
    Austin Wells went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Orioles on Tuesday.

    Advice: Wells came into today as perhaps one of the unluckiest hitters in baseball. He had a 12.2 percent barrel rate and a .275 expected batting average but just a .167 actual average. He also had a .490 xSLG compared to a .208 SLG. He continued to make solid contact on both his balls in play today with a 97.4 mph single and a 102.6 mph home run that traveled 414 feet. A hot streak may be just around the corner. Rotoworld Today, 7:23 pm
     
  • Gary Sánchez leaves game with hamstring tightness
    Gary Sánchez was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Rays with right hamstring tightness.

    Advice: Sánchez was immediately lifted from the contest after reaching on a fielder’s choice in the opening frame. There should be an update on the severity of the injury following the contest. Any potential extended absence would presumably open up even more at-bats for top prospect Tyler Black moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 5:29 pm

  • Exits with injury
    Sanchez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Rays with right hamstring tightness.

    Advice: Sanchez was grabbing at his hamstring after beating a throw to first base during the first inning, and he was quickly taken out of the game by a trainer. The severity of his injury isn't immediately apparent, but the Brewers will take a closer look at him in the clubhouse and should provide more information relatively soon. Rotowire.com Today, 4:58 pm

    Pedro Pagés delivered a go-ahead RBI sacrifice fly in the ninth inning on Tuesday, lifting the Cardinals to a 2-1 comeback win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Pagés came off the bench and delivered in a big spot for the Cardinals, capping off their late rally with a tie-breaking sacrifice fly off veteran reliever Shelby Miller to collect his first major-league RBI. Rotoworld Today, 3:15 pm

  • Remains sidelined Tuesday
    Stephenson (hand) isn't in the Reds' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Stephenson hasn't started a game since being hit in the hand by a pitch during Saturday's game against the Rangers, though he was available off the bench for Monday's contest and presumably is also available if needed Tuesday. In the meantime, Luke Maile will pick up another start behind the plate and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:00 pm
