    • Torres’ three-run homer not enough in Yanks loss
      Gleyber Torres went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Mariners.

      Advice: Torres’ three-run homer in the seventh gave the Yankees their first runs of the evening after they spent the first six innings being stifled by Bryan Woo. Torres’ homer, his third on the season, ended shutout but didn’t prove to be enough for the Yankees, who were held scoreless the rest of the way. Torres is slashing a mere .223/.301/.310 on the season and is hitting .227 in the month of May. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:19 pm
       
    • José Ramirez has two hits, HR in win over Mets
      José Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in a win over the Mets on Tuesday.

      Advice: Ramirez’s home run was a 380-foot shot off Adrian Houser at 101.5 mph off the bat for his 12th big fly of the season. He also added a two-out RBI double to give him 44 RBI on the season. The batting average may not be what fantasy managers are hoping for, but Ramirez is hitting the ball well and should be back to something resembling his usual triple slash in no time.

    • Homer, three RBI in win
      Ramirez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and an RBI double in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Mets.

      Advice: Ramirez extended Cleveland's lead to 3-0 in the third inning with a two-out double before cranking a two-run homer off Adrian Houser in the fifth, his 12th of the year. The 31-year-old Ramirez has gone 12-for-32 (.375) with three home runs and 13 RBI in his last eight contests. His slash line is up to .258/.305/.495 with 44 RBI, 31 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 210 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:33 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

    • Idle Tuesday
      Diaz is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: The 32-year-old will yield to Jonathan Aranda at first base Tuesday, giving Diaz his first day off after playing 10 straight games. During that stretch, Diaz is batting .341 with a pair of homers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:57 am

    • Struggles in Game 1 of twin bill
      Cease allowed five runs on nine hits and three walks while striking out five batters over four innings in a no-decision against Atlanta in the first game of Monday's doubleheader.

      Advice: This was Cease's worst outing as a Padre, as he pitched a season-low four frames and gave up a season-high nine hits. He had previously given up five earned runs in an outing, but that came over six frames against Philadelphia. Cease was uncharacteristically hurt by the long ball Monday -- after giving up just three homers across his first nine starts, he yielded a pair of home runs (though both were solo shots) versus Atlanta. It's a testament to Cease's effectiveness overall this season that he still holds a 3.05 ERA and 0.93 WHIP despite Monday's dud. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:56 pm
       
    • Hits go-ahead homer
      O'Hoppe went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in Monday's 9-7 win over the Astros.

      Advice: O'Hoppe is heating up at the plate -- he's hit safely in eight of his last 11 games with two homers and 11 RBI in that span. The catcher is up to four long balls, 22 RBI, 18 runs scored, six doubles and a triple while slashing .264/.321/.403 over 157 plate appearances. The 24-year-old got off to a slow start this season, but he's back to offering some pop from the middle of the order. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:26 pm

    • Picks up 14th save
      Helsley walked one and struck out none over a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Monday's 6-3 win over the Orioles.

      Advice: Helsley hadn't pitched since last Tuesday, but he didn't show much rust. The closer is on a 10-inning scoreless streak, and he's earned seven saves and a win in that span. For the season, he's 14-for-15 in save chances with a 2-2 record, a 1.29 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 23:3 K:BB over 21 innings. Helsley's strong pitching has helped him go unquestioned as the Cardinals' closer this year, though the team's 21-26 record leaves some doubt about whether he can keep picking up saves at such a strong pace.
