  • Homers early in win
    Tovar went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: The Rockies got to Jose Urena early in the first inning, and Tovar's blast was ultimately all they needed in the win. The shortstop has hit safely in six straight games, going 8-for-26 (.308) with four extra-base hits in that span. For the season, he's at a .266/.308/.411 with four homers, 15 RBI, 16 runs scored, three stolen bases, nine doubles and a triple over 39 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:55 pm
     
  • Mookie Betts collects two hits in loss to Padres
    Mookie Betts went 2-for-4 with a double as the Dodgers were shut out by the Padres on Sunday afternoon in San Diego.

    Advice: As a team, the Dodgers tallied just four hits in the contest, with Betts accounting for half of them on his own — including their lone extra-base knock. He smacked a one-out double off of Yu Darvish in the sixth inning but was left stranded there. He then singled off of Wandy Peralta with two outs in the eighth inning. The 31-year-old superstar is having another extraordinary season at the dish — slashing .339/.441/.539 with six homers, 27 RBI and eight stolen bases. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:36 pm
     
  • Dealing with wrist injury
    Kim was hit by a pitch on his left wrist in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Kim took a 94 mph fastball from Walker Buehler off his left wrist in the bottom of the fourth inning, ultimately exiting the contest the following frame. The infielder underwent X-rays on his arm following the contest that came back negative, according to manager Mike Shildt, which bodes well for Kim moving forward. The 28-year-old can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of San Diego's three-game series with the Rockies at home beginning Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:16 pm

  • Mauricio Dubón collects four hits in victory
    Mauricio Dubón finished 4-for-5 with an RBI against the Tigers on Sunday.

    Advice: Dubón pushed his average back up to .303 while filling in for Jose Altuve today. That comes with just a .330 OBP and a .416 slugging, but, obviously, when he’s hitting .300, he’s a fine player. The Astros will keep squeezing him into the lineup, probably at the expense of Jake Meyers and Joey Loperfido. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:03 pm

  • Rafaela drives in two runs in win over Nationals
    Ceddanne Rafaela went 1-for-3 with two RBI in a win over the Nationals on Sunday.

    Advice: Rafaela had a ground rule double off of MacKenzie Gore in the second inning and is now up to 22 RBI on the season. The season-long stats don’t look great, but he’s 10-for-34 in May, which is a .323 average. The bigger issue for him is he has 11 strikeouts to just one walk over the same timeframe, which highlights some of the concerns with his profile right now. Still, the 23-year-old figures to play every day for the Red Sox and has the power and speed to remain a useful fantasy play in deeper formats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:51 pm

    Advice: Estrada will sit for the first time since April 26, and Brett Wisely will start at second base Sunday against Reds right-hander Frankie Montas. Estrada is slashing .295/.340/.477 with two home runs and eight RBI in May. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:45 am
     
  • Clears bases with timely double
    Schuemann went 1-for-4 with a three-run double in a win over the Mariners on Saturday.

    Advice: The rookie helped break the game open with his eighth-inning bases-loaded double, driving in all three runners to expand a razor-thin 2-1 lead for the Athletics. The clutch two-bagger extended what has been a solid stretch of offensive performances for Schuemann, who now boasts a .286 average and .423 on-base percentage over the 26 plate appearances covering his last seven games.
