  • Goes yard again
    Rengifo went 3-for-4 with a three-run home run during Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Rengifo gave the Angels a lead in the sixth inning, tagging reliever Yunior Marte for a three-run shot to plate Taylor Ward and Brandon Drury. After going homerless in his first 22 games, Rengifo has clobbered long balls in two of his last three contests and has scored five times in his last five games. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • Santiago Espinal fans three times in defeat
    Santiago Espinal went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts versus the Padres on Tuesday.

    Advice: Remember when Espinal made the AL All-Star team a couple of years ago? It turns out that he’s really not that good. It’s something people knew at the time, but Jose Altuve bailed because he didn’t want to be booed and, thanks to MLB and the players’ vote, the first man in was the guy who had 2 1/2 months of decent stats instead of the actual quality middle infielders. Espinal is batting .185/.240/.246 this season, and he might find himself in the minors if the Reds get Noelvi Marte and Matt McLain back in the second half. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago

  • Bo Bichette drives in run in loss
    Bo Bichette went 1-for-3 with a walk and an RBI in a loss to the Royals on Tuesday.

    Advice: Bichette continues to make an elite amount of contact but also swing at pitches that he can’t really do much damage on. As a result, he has a .213 average and just a .306 slugging percentage on the season. The RBI was his 11th of the year, and while the 26-year-old could likely use a more selective approach at the plate, he’s too talented to take out of your lineup right now.

  • Willy Adames homers, drives in four vs. Rays
    Willy Adames went 1-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Rays.

    Advice: Adames put the Brewers on the board with a sacrifice fly in the first inning but sent a three-run blast into the stands in the fifth inning to give the Brewers a comfortable 6-1 advantage. It was a strong way for Adames to close out a month in which he slashed .270/.369/.441 while belting four homers and driving in 17 runs. He’s also scored 16 runs. He’s hitting for a solid average and providing plenty of runs scored and runs driven in, making for a solid player across multiple categories heading into May. Rotoworld Today, 7:51 pm
     
  • Turang drives in three as Brewers down Rays
    Brice Turang went 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI, and a run scored in Tuesday’s win over the Rays.

    Advice: Turang singled in the second inning to bring home Jackson Chourio, giving the Brewers an early 2-0 lead, but that was just the start of a strong night for the young second baseman. Turang would later double in the seventh inning, driving in two more runs to put the Brewers up 8-2. Turang has upped his RBI total to 12 on the season and his hitting a solid .312 through the first month of the season.

  • Josh Smith homers as Rangers down Nationals
    Josh Smith went 2-for-3 with a home run and two runs scored in Tuesday’s win over the Nationals.



    Advice: Smith hit his second homer of the season, a solo blast, off of Jordan Weems in the bottom up the sixth to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead. It was the second of two hits for Smith on the night, as the young third baseman has filled in admirably for Josh Jung and is now slashing .317/.417/.500 through the first month of the season. With Jung out for at least 4-6 more weeks, Smith should continue to have some low-end fantasy upside batting in a Rangers offense that ranked 14th in runs scored heading into the day.

  • Sitting for nightcap
    Winn isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Detroit, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Winn went 1-for-4 during St. Louis' Game 1 victory, and he'll get a breather to conclude Tuesday's twin bill. Brandon Crawford will fill in at shortstop and bat eighth during the nightcap. Rotowire.com Today, 3:41 pm

  • Resting Tuesday
    Cruz isn't in the Pirates' lineup Tuesday against the Athletics, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Cruz is slashing .094/.121/.094 against left-handed pitchers this season, so he will get a day off with Alex Wood set to take the mound for Oakland. Alika Williams will take his place at shortstop while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:29 pm
     
  • Tim Anderson (thumb) not in Tuesday’s lineup
    Tim Anderson (thumb) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Anderson suffered a left thumb sprain during Monday’s series opener. If there’s a positive takeaway it’s that he hasn’t landed on the injured list yet so fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 2:56 pm
