    • Back in starting nine
      Kepler (neck) will start in right field and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game in Arizona.

      Advice: Kepler missed three starts while battling neck spasms, but he's ready to give it a go following Monday's team off day. The veteran outfielder comes into action Tuesday with just a .548 OPS in June, although he has homered twice in his previous five contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:02 pm
       
    • Max Kepler returns to lineup Tuesday vs. D-backs
      Max Kepler (neck) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Kepler is back in right field and batting cleanup on Tuesday night out at Chase Field in Arizona following a three-game absence due to neck spasms. The 31-year-old corner outfielder holds a pedestrian .733 OPS with six homers and one steal in 207 plate appearances over 55 games this season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:56 pm
       
    • Smacks three hits in win
      Ramos went 3-for-4 with a double and a walk in Monday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Ramos went 1-for-22 over his previous five games before breaking out of the slump emphatically in Monday's contest. The outfielder started June hot and has claimed an everyday role in center field. Overall, he's slashing .301/.375/.534 with 10 home runs, 35 RBI, 17 runs scored, one stolen base and eight doubles over 184 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:00 pm
       
    • Luis Rengifo remains in after HBP, gets two hits
      Luis Rengifo went 2-for-3 with two runs scored against the A’s on Monday.

      Advice: Rengifo was hit in the wrist by a pitch in his first at-bat and was clearly in pain for a bit, but he was able to continue and pick up two knocks afterwards. He scored multiple runs in a game for the first time since May 28. Rotoworld Monday, 9:37 pm

    • Sitting out third straight
      Kepler (neck) isn't in the Twins' lineup for Sunday's game against Oakland.

      Advice: Neck spasms will cause Kepler to miss his third game in a row Sunday, though he still doesn't seem to be trending toward a trip to the injured list. Manuel Margot will pick up another start in right field and bat leadoff. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:25 am
       
    • Max Kepler out third straight game with neck issue
      Max Kepler (neck) remains out of the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Kepler will sit out his third straight contest on Sunday afternoon due to an ongoing neck issue. There’s been zero indication that he’ll wind up requiring a trip to the injured list, but we’re not willing to rule it out. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:54 am
       
    • Drives in five Saturday
      Castellanos went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI in Saturday's 12-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: The 32-year-old slugger was hot from the jump, lofting a sacrifice fly in the first inning before crushing a two-run homer to left field off Scott McGough in the fifth and adding a two-run single in the sixth. Castellanos has shaken off his sluggish start to the campaign, and through 18 games in June he's slashing .270/.304/.554 with four homers, 10 runs and 13 RBI. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:47 am
       
    • Castellanos belts 11th home run in win Saturday
      Nick Castellanos went 2-for-3 with a home run and five RBI against the Diamondbacks on Saturday.

      Advice: Castellanos’ home run was his 11th of the season and went so far he started removing his protective elbow pad before he even exited the batter’s box. In all, he had a sacrifice fly, two-run home run and two-run double. Castellanos has struggled this season with a .225 average and .672 OPS, but the Phillies lineup still provides opportunities to drive in runs as he now has 37 RBI on the year.

    • Max Kepler (neck) not in Saturday’s lineup vs. A’s
      Max Kepler (neck) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Kepler will sit out his second straight contest on Saturday afternoon due to neck spasms, but there’s no indication that he’s looking at a trip to the injured list. The 31-year-old corner outfielder’s neck locked up on him during the early stages of Thursday’s game against the Rays and he’s probably going to need a couple days off to rest. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:45 am
