    • Maintains red-hot bat
      Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a home run, double, three RBI and two runs Sunday against the Astros.

      Advice: Nimmo continues to ride a hot bat, collecting three more hits including a game-tying homer in the seventh. Following a 10-game hit streak, Nimmo's bat had cooled a bit with just one hit in his last 10 at-bats, though he did reach base four additional times via the walk. Nimmo carries a solid .247/.367/.815 slash line on the season with 13 dingers, 50 RBI and 53 runs and five steals. However, over his last 14 games Nimmo is as hitting as well as anyone in the league, slashing .382/.477/.782 with six homers, 18 RBI and 20 runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 8:34 pm
       
    • Allows four runs in seven frames
      Severino did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk over seven innings against the Astros. He struck out three.

      Advice: Severino was highly efficient if not incredibly effective, needing just 79 pitches to complete seven innings despite allowing four runs, nine baserunners and throwing a first-pitch strike to just 13 of 28 batters. He also struck out only three after fanning a season-high 10 batters in his previous outing. It's the fifth-consecutive start he's gone at least six innings, though it's the second time within those starts that he allowed at least four earned runs. Severino's next opportunity to toe the rubber is slated to take place next weekend when the Mets travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Pirates. Rotowire.com Today, 7:54 pm
       
    • Gunnar Henderson strikes out four times
      Gunnar Henderson lost his 36-game on-base streak by striking out all four times up against the Rangers on Sunday.

      Advice: All four strikeouts came against Andrew Heaney. It’s his first golden sombrero since Oct. 1, 2022. Rotoworld Today, 7:15 pm

    • Re-entering rotation Wednesday
      Jones is listed as the Pirates' starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals at PNC Park.

      Advice: Jones will slot back into the rotation for the first time since June 22 after the Pirates opted to skip his turn this past week. The decision to bypass Jones' turn wasn't based on any injury; instead, the Pirates are cognizant of keeping the 23-year-old right-hander's workload in check during his first season in the majors. The Pirates haven't offered up a firm innings limit for Jones in 2024 nor outlined their plans on when/if he might be skipped again, but fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to keep him active when he's confirmed to start. Though he's had more trouble keeping walks in check in his recent starts compared to earlier in the campaign, Jones will still head into his 16th start of the season Wednesday with stellar ratios (3.66 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 19.4 K-BB%).

    • Gunnar Henderson to take part in Home Run Derby
      Gunnar Henderson announced on ESPN that he will participate in this year’s Home Run Derby.

      Advice: Henderson added that it’ll be the first time he’s participated in a competitive Derby. The 23-year-old shortstop is currently tied for second in the majors with 26 homers. Rotoworld Today, 4:47 pm

    • Brandon Nimmo doubles, homers
      Brandon Nimmo went 3-for-5 with a home run, double, walk, three RBI, and two runs scored on Sunday against the Astros.

      Advice: Nimmo’s two extra-base hits came at extremely clutch times for the Mets: his two-run homer, the 100th of his career, tied this game in the seventh and his RBI double again brought the Mets even in extra innings. His resurgence over the last few weeks has been a spectacle as he’s pulled his OPS up from .708 on June 13th to .815 today. He’s found a home in the two-hole of the Mets’ lineup and is on pace for 26 homers, 30 doubles, 106 runs scored, 100 RBI, and 10 stolen bases this season. That is the statline of a bona fide stud.

    • Luis Severino lasts seven innings in no-decision
      Luis Severino allowed four runs in seven innings against the Astros on Sunday. He struck out three and walked one.

      Advice: Severino pitched better than his line would indicate. The Astros dinked and dunked most of their hits as Severino pounded the zone with sinkers. He threw that pitch 63% of the time along with 14% four-seam fastballs along with 5% cutters; that made 82% of his total pitches fastball variations. This strategy has helped fuel Severino’s bounce-back season with a 3.42 ERA, yet only 74 strikeouts in 97 1/3 innings. Rotoworld Today, 4:35 pm
       
    • Drives in winning runs
      Turner went 3-for-5 with two RBI and two strikeouts in Sunday's 7-6 win over the Marlins.

      Advice: Turner gave himself the best birthday present by driving in the go-ahead runs in Sunday's win. He hit a two-run single in the seventh to complete the Phillies comeback after trailing 6-2. Turner has had three multi-hit games over his last five and at least one hit in 10 of his last 12. The veteran has been doing very well since returning from the injured list June. 17 and is now hitting .332/.380/.453 for the season. Rotowire.com Today, 3:41 pm

    • Picks up 16th save
      Jansen earned the save Sunday against San Diego, striking out one batter during a perfect ninth inning.

      Advice: Jansen was lights-out, and he has now converted on 12 straight save chances. It was his seventh straight appearance without allowing a run. He's been fantastic as of late, with a 0.70 ERA over his last 12 appearances. The 36-year-old has converted 16 of 17 save chances this season and will carry a 2.22 ERA and 1.02 WHIP into July.
