  • Launches 14th home run
    Perez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Sunday's win against Cleveland.

    Advice: Perez belted his 14th home run of the season Sunday, adding a third RBI on a fielders choice. The 34-year-old had a rough June in which he batted just .194, but Perez remains one of the most reliable catchers in fantasy. On the season, Perez is batting .281 with 14 home runs, 16 doubles and 32 runs scored in 83 games played. Rotowire.com Today, 2:07 pm

  • Justin Turner drives in lone run for Blue Jays
    Justin Turner went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Sunday against the Yankees.

    Advice: The Jays offense was stifled once again. Turner’s RBI single was their only sign of life and he had three of the team’s six hard-hit balls on the day. The ageless Turner is sporting a respectable .251 average and .734 OPS. Rotoworld Today, 1:38 pm

  • Not in Sunday's lineup
    Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Urias started the first two games of the series but will sit for the finale Sunday amid an 0-for-17 slump. Jordan Westburg will man the hot corner while Jorge Mateo receives the start at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 1:31 pm

  • Sitting versus lefty
    Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: The 27-year-old's omission from the lineup is surprising since southpaw Andrew Heaney is taking the mound for Texas. Mountcastle has an .853 OPS versus lefties this season and was also held out of the lineup for Saturday's contest, so it's possible he's dealing with an injury or illness, though nothing has been reported at this point. The lefty-hitting Ryan O'Hearn will instead start at first base Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:16 pm
     
  • Remaining out of lineup
    Drury (illness) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Drury hasn't seen the field since June 21 due to an upper-respiratory illness, and he won't return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale versus Detroit. According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Drury is avialable off the bench Sunday and should return to the starting nine Tuesday in Oakland. Luis Rengifo will again man the keystone while Miguel Sano starts at third base. Rotowire.com Today, 12:26 pm

  • Ryan Mountcastle out again Sunday vs. Rangers
    Ryan Mountcastle is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rangers.

    Advice: This makes back-to-back games Mountcastle has missed, but there’s been no injury update. The first baseman will get another day off with Ryan O’Hearn starting at first base and Heston Kjerstad as the designated hitter. Rotoworld Today, 12:24 pm

    Brandon Drury (illness) is not in the starting lineup against the Tigers on Sunday.

  • Goes deep in win
    Tellez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win against Atlanta.

    Advice: Tellez continued his hot month of June, as he now has three of his four homers and 14 of his 22 RBI for the season over his last 19 games. He had a .940 OPS in June after entering the month with a .463 OPS for the season. The 29-year-old is turning the corner and has elevated his slash line to .230/.286/.332 for the season.
