  • Drives in three
    Delay went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and three RBI in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Delay drew his first start since being recalled Saturday and delivered a key three-RBI double in the sixth inning to put the Pirates up 6-0. He's likely to remain the backup catcher behind Yasmani Grandal while Henry Davis (concussion) is sidelined, but Delay could push for more regular at-bats with Grandal performing poorly.

  • Extends hit streak to nine games
    Wong went 2-for-4 with a walk, a triple and three RBI in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Yankees.

  • Connor Wong smacks two-run triple as Red Sox win

  • William Contreras being evaluated for concussion
    Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy said after Sunday’s victory over the Reds that William Contreras is being evaluated for a possible concussion.

    Advice: Contreras took a glancing blow off of his head or neck on the final play of the game as Blake Perkins nailed the potential tying run at the plate to end the ballgame. The 26-year-old backstop remained on the ground for a few minutes afterwards, but ultimately was able to get up under his own power and was able to celebrate with his teammates. It doesn’t sound like anything serious, but fantasy managers may want to have an alternative option on hand for next week just to be on the safe side. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:43 pm
     
  • Being evaluated for concussion
    Contreras is being evaluated for a concussion following Sunday's 5-4 win over the Reds, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Contreras took a shot to the head when he collided with Stuart Fairchild at home plate, applying the tag for the final out of the contest. The catcher was slow to get up, and he'll now undergo some additional testing to determine the severity of the injury. The Brewers will start a three-game series on the road against the Angels on Monday. If Contreras is forced to miss any action, Gary Sanchez would likely take over behind the plate.

  • Getting third straight start
    Knizner will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Knizner will be making his third consecutive start, but his time as the Rangers' No. 1 catcher should be short-lived. Jonah Heim (personal) was placed on the paternity list Saturday and will rejoin the team no later than Tuesday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:57 pm
     
  • Beginning rehab assignment Tuesday
    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that Contreras (forearm) is likely to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday with either Triple-A Memphis or Double-A Springfield, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Contreras reached a meaningful milestone in his recovery from surgery to repair a fractured left forearm by taking batting practice earlier in the weekend, and with the veteran backstop apparently coming out of the workout without any renewed soreness, he looks like he's ready for game action. Because he's been on the shelf since May 8, Contreras could stay on his minor-league rehab assignment throughout the week before potentially returning from the 10-day injured list before the end of June. Once Contreras is activated, he should reclaim the No. 1 catcher's role from Ivan Herrera. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:52 am
     
  • Resting for day game
    Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Alvarez will get a breather for the day game Sunday after he started behind the plate Friday and Saturday. Luis Torrens will step in as the Mets' starting catcher in place of Alvarez, who has gone 2-for-14 with two RBI through his first four starts since returning from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

  • Contreras (forearm) likely to begin rehab Tuesday
    Willson Contreras (forearm) is likely going to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday.

    Advice: Contreras has made a rapid recovery from surgery to repair his fractured forearm, and what looked to be an injury that would keep him out through the All-Star break now appears to be one where he could be back as the Cardinals backstop in the next week. Keep in mind that setbacks do happen, but all signs point to the 32-year-old being a regular for the Cardinals much sooner than anticipated. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:05 am
