  • Anthony Santander stays hot with another homer
    Anthony Santander slugged a solo homer on Tuesday in the Orioles’ loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: Santander went deep off Guardians reliever Sam Hentges in the eighth inning of this one. He’s homered 12 times since the start of June and is up to 21 round-trippers on the year already. The 29-year-old’s batting average remains palatable and he remains a pretty strong three-category, power plus counting stats impact fantasy contributor. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:27 pm
     
  • Ben Rice sitting Tuesday against southpaw
    Ben Rice is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Mets.

    Advice: Rice takes a seat on New York’s bench with Mets southpaw David Peterson toeing the rubber. It’ll be newly-acquired veteran J.D. Davis drawing his first start at the cold corner on Tuesday night in his place. The 25-year-old prospect is batting .294 (5-for-17) with one RBI in 21 plate appearances over six games since getting the call to the majors last week. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:32 pm

  • On bench Tuesday
    Vaughn is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Vaughn will be out of the lineup for the first time since dealing with a finger injury at the start of June, giving way to Gavin Sheets at first base Tuesday. After logging a seven-game hit streak, Vaughn has gone 0-for-8 in his last two games. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:17 pm
     
  • Idle against lefty
    Rice is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: With J.D. Davis joining the Yankees roster, Rice is expected to enter the strong side of a platoon with Davis at first base. Rice will take a seat Tuesday for the first time since being called up June 18 as the Mets trot out southpaw David Peterson. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:11 pm

  • Racks up three hits in win
    Donovan went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Monday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Donovan has been dialed in for much of June. He's hit safely in 17 of his last 18 games, going 26-for-71 (.366) with seven extra-base hits and 14 RBI in that span. The 27-year-old is up to a .269/.333/.420 slash line with eight home runs, 39 RBI, 35 runs scored, 17 doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 72 contests. While he's mostly lost out on leadoff opportunities to Masyn Winn, Donovan is still hitting well deeper in the lineup. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:51 am

  • Nathaniel Lowe goes 0-for-4, fans three times
    Nathaniel Lowe went 0-for-4 and struck out three times against the Brewers in Monday’s loss.

    Advice: Lowe looked like a long-term answer at first base for the Rangers in 2022, but his power production fell off last year and has continued to decline this season, as he’s managed just two homers and three barrels through 228 plate appearances. His .351 OBP is nice, so it seems unlikely that the Rangers will try to upgrade this summer. However, if he fails to step it up, he’s going to be a non-tender candidate this winter.

  • Donovan stays hot with three-hit game Monday
    Brendan Donovan went 3-for-4 with an RBI against the Braves on Monday.

    Advice: Donovan’s RBI single in the third inning off Braves starter Spencer Schwellenbach gave the Cardinals a 3-0 lead. He now has a hit in eight consecutive games and 17 of his last 18 games. Donovan is 26-for-71 (.366) with four home runs and 14 RBI in his last 18 games. His season average is up to .269 with a .753 OPS and 39 RBI. Rotoworld Monday, 7:30 pm

  • Burleson has another two-hit game Monday
    Alec Burleson went 2-for-3 with a double, a run scored and an RBI against the Braves on Monday.

    Advice: Burleson started the scoring with an RBI double in the third inning off Braves starter Spencer Schwellenbach. He’s had at least two hits in four consecutive games and five of his last six games. He’s 11-for-24 (.458) with 10 runs scored, three home runs, nine RBI and a double over his last six games. Burleson is hitting .289 with a .798 OPS and 33 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Monday, 7:21 pm
     
  • Playing time trending up
    Carpenter will serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Monday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: After he was excluded from the lineup for a stretch of six consecutive games from June 12 through 17 while the Cardinals faced four lefty starters and handed starts to Nolan Arenado and Masyn Winn at DH in the other two matchups with righties, Carpenter will now get his sixth start in a row. He's earned a more stable spot in the lineup against righties after going 6-for-16 with a double and a walk over the previous five games. The lefty-hitting Carpenter should continue to sit regularly versus lefties, however. Rotowire.com Jun 24, 1:20 pm
