    • Powers team to win
      Morel went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Morel launched his 11th home run of the season and second in the last five games in the sixth inning to spark the Cubs' comeback victory. The 24-year-old has been a bit all or nothing this year, as he's batting just .201; however, his power potential alone should keep him in Chicago's lineup most days and gives him fantasy upside, which he flashed last season with 26 long balls in only 388 at-bats.

    • Morel hits 11th homer of season vs. White Sox
      Christopher Morel went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday’s win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Morel hit his 11th home run of the season in the sixth inning off White Sox reliever Justin Anderson. After putting Cody Bellinger on first via a hit-by-pitch, Anderson hung a breaking ball to Morel, who blasted it 423 feet to deep left-center while cutting the White Sox’s lead to 5-3. In typical feast-or-famine fashion, Morel is now hitting .201 on the year with 16 extra-base hits and 37 RBI. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:28 pm
       
    • Elly De La Cruz hits 10th homer in Reds’ win
      Elly De La Cruz hit his 10th homer Tuesday in the victory over the Rockies.

      Advice: We’re not sure De La Cruz has pulled out of his lengthy slump just yet, but according to xwOBA, he has performed better these last 10-14 days than he did during the first three weeks of May. The homer tonight was his first since May 11. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:26 pm
       
    • Duran drives in lone run for Rangers in loss
      Ezequiel Duran went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: Duran’s RBI single in the ninth gave the Rangers their only run in the evening and was just one of the five hits they had in the night. Duran and the Rangers spent much of the night being stifled by Jack Flaherty and the Tigers’ bullpen, but did manage to break through with two hits in the final frame. Duran has one home run and seven RBI on the season over 41 games and can continue to be left on the waiver wire. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:06 pm

    • Big effort in win
      McKinstry went 2-for-4 with a triple and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: McKinstry launched his first home run of the season in the second inning, then followed with his second triple of the year in the fourth. While Javier Baez is still the team's primary option at shortstop, McKinstry has managed to carve out a sizeable role amid Baez's struggles at the plate. McKinstry is probably best suited as a utility player, however, so he likely will continue to move around the field rather than replace Baez altogether. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:01 pm

    • Two RBI in return
      Dalbec went 1-for-3 with two RBI during Tuesday's 8-3 loss to Atlanta.

      Advice: Dalbec got his first start since being called up Sunday, filling in at right field -- a position he hadn't played at the MLB level before -- with Wilyer Abreu (ankle) sidelined. Dalbec plated Rafael Devers and Connor Wong on a fourth-inning single for his only hit of the day. With Tyler O'Neill (knee) set for reinstatement as soon as Wednesday, Dalbec figures to be an alternative option at right field or first base for the duration of his big-league stay.

    • Royce Lewis homers against Yankees in return
      Royce Lewis clubbed a solo homer and walked twice on Tuesday in the Twins’ loss to the Yankees.

      Advice: Of course. Lewis made an immediate impact in his return to Minnesota’s lineup on Tuesday night in New York, taking Yankees veteran reliever Tommy Kahnle deep for a seventh-inning solo shot to left field. The 25-year-old reached base safely in all three of his plate appearances and has two homers in just two games played on the year. The central question for fantasy managers moving forward is whether he can stay on the field for an extended period to establish himself as an elite fantasy contributor at the hot corner.

    • Tyler Freeman homers in win over Royals
      Tyler Freeman went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a win over the Royals on Tuesday.

      Advice: Freeman greeted Seth Lugo in the sixth inning with a 402-foot shot that left the bat at 102.3 mph. It was his fifth home run on the season, and now has 24 RBI to go along with a .219/.308/.358 slash line. Freeman has been trending up in recent weeks but with the renewed health fo Steven Kwan and Andres Gimenez, Freeman has moved back down to the bottom third of the lineup, which will limit his opportunities for runs and RBI.

    • Anthony Rendon (hamstring) nears baseball activities
      Angels manager Ron Washington told reporters Anthony Rendon (hamstring) could resume light baseball activities this week.

      Advice: Rendon has been out since late April with a partially-torn left hamstring and remains without a definitive timetable to return. The 33-year-old veteran might be ready to return at some point in the second half of the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:16 pm
