    Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Mountcastle will receive a breather for the day game after a night game, paving the way for Ryan O'Hearn to pick up a start at first base. The Orioles had included Mountcastle in the lineup for each of the last 14 games, with the 27-year-old slashing .273/.344/.564 with five home runs and 12 RBI over that stretch.

  • Hits go-ahead homer in win
    Bellinger went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in a 4-3 win over Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

    Advice: With the Cubs trailing 2-1 with two outs in the seventh inning, Bellinger changed the game with a three-run home run off Tampa Bay reliever Garrett Cleavinger then added a single in the ninth. While the homer was his first in June, Bellinger now has four straight multi-hit efforts for a total of five in 10 contests this month. On the season, Bellinger is slashing .267/.324/.456 with nine home runs and 32 RBI in 238 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:41 pm

  • Cody Bellinger powers Cubs past Rays
    Cody Bellinger went 2-for-5 and hit a three-run homer in the seventh to lead the Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the Rays on Wednesday.

    Advice: The homer came off Garrett Cleavinger, a lefty who hadn’t previously allowed one in 27 innings this season. It was Bellinger’s ninth in 54 games. He’s not doing anything quite as well as he did last year, but that was probably to be expected. He’s still been a fine regular for the Cubs, and he might offer more to fantasy leaguers if he gets back to stealing more bases; he has three right now after finishing with 20 last year.

  • Starting rehab assignment
    Drury (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Drury went down with a hamstring injury May 8 and was placed on the 10-day injured list a day later. The second baseman hasn't faced any setbacks with his recovery to this point and is now ready to test himself in a game setting for the first time in over a month. Expect Drury to appear in at least a couple of games with Salt Lake before the Angels decide whether he's fit to return from the IL. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:35 pm

  • Brandon Drury starts rehab assignment on Tuesday
    Brandon Drury (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Salt Lake.

    Advice: Drury has been on the shelf since early May due to a left hamstring strain so it’s a positive sign that he’s ready to return to game action. He should be back in Los Angeles at some point later this week. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:30 pm

  • Two hits, stolen base in loss
    Bellinger went 2-for-5 with a run and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Bellinger reached on a two-out single in the first inning, and he then stole second and came around to score on a Dansby Swanson double. It was just Bellinger's third stolen base of the season after he swiped a career-best 20 bags last season. The 28-year-old is heating up at the dish with seven multi-hit efforts over his last 14 games, and he's accounted for all three of his steals over that stretch. Rotowire.com Saturday, 6:57 pm

  • Slated for rehab stint next week
    Drury (hamstring) has responded well to recent baseball activities and is likely to head out on a rehab assignment during the week of June 10, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Drury hasn't played since injuring his left hamstring May 8, but he recently progressed to running and participating in full baseball activities, including taking groundballs and hitting on the field. The veteran infielder hasn't had any setbacks while taking part in that work and thus appears just about ready to head out on a rehab stint. It's unclear how many minor-league games Drury will play in, but it appears he could be back with the Angels by the end of next week. Rotowire.com Saturday, 12:20 pm
