  • Cody Bellinger doing OK after wall collision
    Cody Bellinger said after Tuesday’s game that he should be OK following his collision with the wall.

    Advice: X-rays were negative on Bellinger’s right rib contusion, and it’s possible he’ll be ready to go Wednesday. “We’re going to have to check on the wall, see if the wall’s OK first and then be careful around it next time,” he said. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago

  • Heating up at plate
    Buxton went 3-for-4 with a double and a game-tying home run in the ninth inning in Tuesday's win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Buxton has started to heat up as he's hitting .333 (9-for-27) with four doubles, a triple and home run over his last seven games. More importantly, he's healthy and playing regularly in center field. He's getting a day at DH and and a day of rest each week, but otherwise is full speed. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Picks up win Tuesday
    Barlow (1-2) struck out one without allowing a baserunner over two-thirds of an inning to earn the win Tuesday over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Barlow entered with one on and one out in the top of the seventh inning. The baserunner, Rob Refsnyder, was erased when he was caught stealing, and Barlow struck out Enmanuel Valdez to end the inning. The Guardians then rallied ahead in their half of the frame. After a rough start to the season, Barlow has limited opponents to one run on three hits and a walk over his last 5.1 innings. It is notable that he entered the game with the Guardians behind while Hunter Gaddis, who has worked himself into the late-inning mix, pitched the eighth. Barlow is at a 4.09 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 13:7 K:BB through 11 innings overall, adding a save and five holds through 12 appearances. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Clubs pair of homers
    Tauchman went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and a solo home run during Tuesday's 7-2 win over the Astros.

    Advice: Tauchman entered Tuesday's game homerless on the year, a surprising fact considering his monstrous performance. He tagged J.P. France for a three-run shot in the first frame and followed up the long ball with a solo shot in the eighth inning. Tauchman has collected multiple hits in three of his last six games, batting .450 with six RBI and five runs scored during that stretch. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Takes loss against Cubs
    France (0-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks over five innings against the Cubs. He struck out six.

    Advice: France endured a nightmare first inning, yielding a two-run home run to Cody Bellinger and a three-run homer to Mike Tauchman. However, he settled in following the frame, allowing just one hit in his closing four innings while keeping Chicago off the scoreboard. France has now given up multiple home runs in back-to-back starts. Despite his struggles, France will likely make another go-around in the rotation due to the Astros lacking healthy arms, and he's projected for a start against Cleveland. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
