  • Lifts homer in loss
    Chapman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Pirates.

    Advice: Chapman has gone 16-for-43 (.372) with eight extra-base hits and eight RBI over his last 11 games. The third baseman's homer Tuesday gave the Giants a 5-2 lead in the seventh inning. He's up to six long balls, 22 RBI, 30 runs scored, 13 doubles and five stolen bases while slashing .243/.303/.411 over 48 contests. While his .714 OPS is notably down from last year, he seems to have turned a corner in May by batting .279 after hitting just .212 in April. Rotowire.com Today, 9:49 am
     
  • Goes deep again Tuesday
    McMahon went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: McMahon kicked off the scoring with a two-run blast in the first inning off of Aaron Brooks for his only hit of the evening. He's now upped his hitting streak to nine games and is slashing .378/.310/.676 with three homers, seven RBI and nine runs scored. He's maintained an average north of .300 for the majority of the season thus far and is currently riding a streak of 19 consecutive plate appearances without striking out. Rotowire.com Today, 8:12 am

  • Drives in two
    Mendick went 2-for-4 with a single and a two-run double during Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Mendick entered Tuesday's contest 1-for-14 (.071) in four games since coming off the IL. The 30-year-old delivered a two-run double in the eighth inning off Tim Mayza to provide the White Sox with some insurance runs. Mendick has been serving as the White Sox's everyday third baseman with Bryan Ramos (quad) sidelined. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:22 pm

  • Raps out four hits
    Garcia went 4-for-5 with two triples, one RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 10-3 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Garcia showcased his speed Tuesday with the pair of triples. The third baseman has gone 14-for-39 (.359) during his nine-game hitting streak, and he's added three steals, eight RBI and nine runs scored in that span. For the season, the leadoff hitter is slashing .263/.308/.429 with five home runs, 32 RBI, 28 runs scored and 11 stolen bases across 48 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:20 pm

  • Matt Chapman has two hits, HR in loss
    Matt Chapman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Advice: Chapman had three of the four hardest-hit balls on the Giants during the game. He had a 113.1 mph groundout, a 106.4 mph double, and a 104.8 mph home run that traveled 414 feet. He also added another 103.2 mph groundout, so it’s safe to say he was seeing the ball pretty well on Tuesday. The veteran is now 19-for-68 (.279) with two home runs, 15 runs scored, and eight RBI during May. He continues to hit cleanup for the Giants every game and is an underrated fantasy option.

  • Austin Riley remains out Tuesday vs. Cubs
    Austin Riley (side) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Cubs.

    Advice: No surprise here as Riley will miss his eighth straight contest due to an ongoing side issue after sitting out both contests of Monday’s doubleheader. There’s been zero indication that he’ll wind up requiring a trip to the injured list, despite the fact that he’s yet to resume swinging a bat. It’s a frustrating situation for fantasy managers, but it doesn’t sound like the Braves are going to make a roster move at this juncture. It’ll be Zack Short drawing another start at the keystone on Tuesday night at Wrigley Field. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:41 pm

  • Remains out of lineup
    Riley (intercostal) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Cubs.

    Advice: Riley hasn't played since May 12 because of left intercostal inflammation. Atlanta has resisted putting its third baseman on the 10-day injured list so far, and at this point, it would appear the team will continue to wait things out. He was cleared to take soft swings in the batting cage Tuesday, per Mark Bowman of MLB.com, so Riley at least appears to be making progress in his recovery. Zack Short will again be at the hot corner Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:39 pm

  • Sitting again Tuesday
    Polanco (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Polanco hasn't taken the field since May 13, but he's close to returning after being available off the bench Monday. While it hasn't been confirmed he'll be available Tuesday, that should be the expectation considering his status Monday. Dylan Moore will draw a start at second base and bat ninth.

  • Jorge Polanco (hamstring) not in Tuesday’s lineup
    Jorge Polanco (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Polanco was available off the bench for Monday’s series opener in New York, so it stands to reason that he’s healthy enough to avoid a potential trip to the injured list. The 30-year-old second baseman has been out of the lineup for seven straight contests now due to right hamstring tightness. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:07 pm
