    • Christopher Morel returns to Cubs lineup on Sunday
      Christopher Morel (hip, elbow) returned to the Cubs’ starting lineup on Sunday.

      Advice: Morel was pulled from Saturday’s game after colliding with teammate Alexander Canario in the outfield, but aside from being a bit banged up he’s good to go. Morel is starting at the hot corner and batting cleanup against Tanner Houck and the Red Sox on Sunday night. On the season, the 24-year-old slugger is hitting .219/.296/.365 with three homers, 12 RBI and one stolen base through 26 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:02 pm
       
    • Good to go Sunday
      Morel (hip) is starting at third base and batting cleanup Sunday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: The 24-year-old collided with Alexander Canario after making a running catch in the outfield Saturday but is apparently no worse for wear. Morel fell into a 1-for-32 slump over nine contests in mid-May, but his bat has come alive over his past six games with a .781 OPS. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:34 pm
       
    • Big day in rout
      Henderson went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, a second run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 7-0 win over the A's.

      Advice: The 22-year-old shortstop capped the scoring on the afternoon by taking JP Sears deep in the seventh inning. The long ball was Henderson's third in the last four games, continuing a blistering stretch that has seen him rack up eight multi-hit performances in his last 12 contests while batting .408 (20-for-49). The surge has boosted Henderson's slash line on the season to .302/.361/.642 with nine homers, six steals, 22 RBI and 23 runs in 106 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:41 pm
       
    • Christopher Morel exits after collision on Saturday
      Christopher Morel was removed from Saturday’s game against the Red Sox after colliding with teammate Alexander Canario.

      Advice: Morel told reporters after the game that he felt alright, just a little banged up — specifically noting his right hip and both elbows. He did say that he was optimistic about his ability to play on Sunday, though manager Craig Counsell may have other plans. Be sure to check on his status prior to Sunday’s series finale.

    • Emerges from fall uninjured
      Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Morel "is fine" after exiting Saturday's game versus the Red Sox after the seventh inning following a fall in the outfield, CHGO Cubs reports.

      Advice: Morel toppled over left fielder Alexander Canario after making a running catch and landed hard on the ground, banging up his elbows and right hip. He looked to be in some pain and was removed from the game at that point. However, it sounds like he probably would've remained in if the score hadn't been so lopsided. It's possible the Cubs will hold Morel out Sunday if he's still a bit sore, but it does not appear fantasy managers need to have any real worry about his status.

    • Gunnar Henderson homers, steals base in win
      Gunnar Henderson went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, two runs scored, and a stolen base to lead the Orioles to a 7-0 win over the A’s on Saturday.

      Advice: Henderson recorded the first hit of the game for the Orioles, leading off the fourth inning with a single. He stole second and scored on a double by Anthony Santander. The 22-year-old shortstop later took JP Sears deep in the seventh inning for a two-run homer. Henderson is off to an incredible start, hitting .302/.361/.642 with nine homers, 23 runs scored, 22 RBI, and six steals across 119 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:28 pm
       
    • Tallies two hits Friday
      Morel went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Red Sox.

      Advice: Morel has been scuffling a bit lately, as he's batting just .176 over his last 10 games with no home runs, and he has just three long balls overall this season across 25 contests. Still, the 24-year-old is a legitimate power threat, and even though he hasn't really gotten going in that department yet, he can heat up in a hurry and hit homers in bunches.

    • Big effort in win
      Busch went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Red Sox.

      Advice: Busch has been great so far in his first season with the Cubs, as he's slashing .289/.347/.554 with six home runs and 17 RBI across 24 games. The 26-year-old regularly sits against southpaws, but when a righty is on the mound, Busch looks like a strong fantasy asset at the moment. It helps him that the whole Chicago lineup is clicking during the team's 17-9 start, giving Busch plenty of chances to rack up stats. Rotowire.com Saturday, 6:32 am
       
    • Michael Busch goes 3-for-4 in Cubs’ victory
      Michael Busch went 3-for-4 with a double and a sac fly against the Red Sox on Friday.

      Advice: Busch didn’t hit the ball very well tonight, but he hit it to all of the right spots. His double, which barely qualified as a hard-hit ball at 95.1 mph, would have been an out if not for the Green Monster. One of his other hits was a dribbler down the third base line that just would not go foul. Busch will take it; he came into this one 0-for-15 with nine strikeouts in his previous four games.
