  • Tallies 11th homer
    Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Nationals.

    Advice: Arozarena went deep in the seventh inning to record his 11th homer of the season and third of June. The performance wrapped up a solid month, as he hit .291 with nine RBI, 10 runs scored and three stolen bases in 25 games. Arozarena is still hitting just .196 for the season, though there should be optimism his performance will improve across the second half of the campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:45 pm
     
  • Re-entering rotation Wednesday
    Jones is listed as the Pirates' starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals at PNC Park.

    Advice: Jones will slot back into the rotation for the first time since June 22 after the Pirates opted to skip his turn this past week. The decision to bypass Jones' turn wasn't based on any injury; instead, the Pirates are cognizant of keeping the 23-year-old right-hander's workload in check during his first season in the majors. The Pirates haven't offered up a firm innings limit for Jones in 2024 nor outlined their plans on when/if he might be skipped again, but fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to keep him active when he's confirmed to start. Though he's had more trouble keeping walks in check in his recent starts compared to earlier in the campaign, Jones will still head into his 16th start of the season Wednesday with stellar ratios (3.66 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 19.4 K-BB%).

  • Randy Arozarena homers in win
    Randy Arozarena went 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Sunday against the Nationals.

    Advice: Arozarena has been trending up of late and this game may have been the exclamation point on his return to self. He has a hit in 12 of his last 14 games and on Sunday became the fifth player this season to hit four balls at least 105 MPH in the same game joining Yordan Alvarez, Juan Soto, Ketel Marte, and Gunnar Henderson. The prolonged cold spell to start his season was scary, but it looks like Arozarena has finally found his way out of it. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:06 pm
     
  • Surprise addition to lineup
    Soto (hand) will start in right field and bat second Sunday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The 25-year-old was originally slated to sit Sunday and said he may undergo an MRI or CT scan Monday when the Yankees are back in New York, so his late addition to the lineup is a major surprise. It's unclear if Soto will still require any of the medical imaging, but he's apparently feeling well enough to play despite experiencing some pain and weakness in his bruised right hand Saturday.

  • Juan Soto (hand) back in starting lineup vs. Jays
    Juan Soto (hand) is back in the starting lineup and hitting second while playing right field against the Blue Jays on Sunday.

    Advice: Soto was originally not in the lineup, but the 25-year-old is feeling well enough to get back out there after missing Saturday’s contest with a contusion in his hand. It’s most welcome news for fantasy managers who have their superstar back in the lineup. J.D. Davis is back to the bench with Soto returning. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:36 am

  • Sitting again Sunday
    McCormick is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: McCormick will sit Sunday for the second straight game, and he has gone 1-for-11 over his past five contests. Trey Cabbage will start in right field and bat ninth in the series finale at New York. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:01 am
     
  • Juan Soto (hand) not in lineup against Blue Jays
    Juan Soto (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays

    Advice: Soto will sit after being scratched from Saturday’s lineup with a contusion in his right hand. The 25-year-old outfielder had his imaging come back clean, but he’ll need at least one more day off before having a chance to return to the starting lineup later in the week. J.D. Davis is in the lineup as Soto’s replacement as the designated hitter while Aaron Judge patrols right field. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:12 am
