  • Cracks leadoff homer in win
    Henderson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and three runs scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Rays.

    Advice: Henderson crushed the first pitch of the game 430 feet for his 21st homer of the season and ninth career leadoff blast. The Orioles shortstop has been scorching hot in June, hitting .350 (14-for-40) with three homers, 13 runs scored and five RBI this month. Overall, Henderson is slashing .274/.375/.599 in 296 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:03 pm
  • Suffers fractured big toe
    Renfroe has been diagnosed with a broken left big toe, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Renfroe was unable to continue Monday after fouling a pair of pitches off his left foot, and the team later revealed that he had suffered a toe fracture. Kansas City has yet to establish a timeline for his return, but Renfroe will almost certainly require a trip to the injured list to rehab. Dairon Blanco appears to be the next man up in right field, though Nelson Velazquez and Adam Frazier are also candidates to see time. Rotowire.com Today, 6:50 pm

  • Hunter Renfroe suffers fractured toe versus Yankees
    Hunter Renfroe was diagnosed with a fracture in his left big toe after fouling a ball off his foot and leaving Monday’s game.

    Advice: Renfroe likely will land on the IL, though this may not be a long absence if it’s just a hairline fracture. Unfortunately, this comes just as Renfroe had started to get it together; he’d hit .326 with three homers in his last 15 games to raise his OPS from .478 to .638. The Royals could call up Drew Waters and give him a look in right field. Adam Frazier and Dairon Blanco could also see additional time. Rotoworld Today, 6:47 pm

  • Gunnar Henderson hits 21st homer in win over Rays
    Gunnar Henderson went 3-for-5 with his 21st home run of the season on Monday, leading the Orioles to a 5-2 victory over the Rays.

    Advice: Henderson led off the contest with a gargantuan 430-foot moonshot to straightaway center field -- his seventh leadoff homer of the season -- to give the Orioles an early advantage and put him just three round-trippers behind Yankees superstar Aaron Judge, who leads the majors with 24 big flies. He also added a pair of additional hits, including a double, to cap off a stellar three-hit performance. It was his fifth three-hit effort of the year and 20th multi-hit game. The 22-year-old fantasy stalwart has been on an absolute tear since the start of June, batting .350 (14-for-40) with three homers and one steal over 10 games during that span.

  • Alex Jackson belts two-run homer in loss to O’s
    Alex Jackson hit a two-run homer on Monday in the Rays’ loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Jackson became the most unlikely batter to homer off Orioles ace Corbin Burnes in recent memory as he connected for his first round-tripper of the year in the second inning of this one. It was his first long ball in the majors since August 13, 2021. The 28-year-old backstop is hitting .061 (3-for-49) with 25 strikeouts in 53 plate appearances this season. Simply put, he can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats until further notice. Rotoworld Today, 6:33 pm
  • Exits early Monday
    Renfroe left Monday's game against the Yankees due to an apparent lower body injury, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Renfroe fouled two pitches off his foot during an at-bat in the third inning, and he was removed from the matchup shortly after. The team should have another update on the outfielder's status after running more tests. Rotowire.com Today, 6:28 pm

  • Hunter Renfroe exits game after four innings

    Advice: It seems likely that those two facts are related. MJ Melendez replaced him in the contest against the Yankees. Rotoworld Today, 6:16 pm

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    Smith was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Monday, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

    Advice: Smith will head to Triple-A after struggling to find consistent opportunities with the major-league roster, batting .275 with two homers, seven RBI and five runs scored over 40 total at-bats since the beginning of May. The 27-year-old will now likely get extended run with Reno and he'll almost assuredly get another shot with the Diamondbacks down the road this season. In the meantime, Christian Walker will continue to handle the lion's share of work at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 5:42 pm
  • Nursing calf issue
    Diaz left Monday's game against the Twins due to a left calf injury, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Diaz is likely undergoing additional testing to uncover the extent of the calf injury. Jacob Stallings and Hunter Goodman would share time behind the plate if it's determined Diaz requires an extended absence, though it's still too early to know if he'll be placed on the injured list.
