    • Kyle Finnegan gets 18th save in win over ATL
      Kyle Finnegan rescued the Nationals with a scoreless inning to secure an 8-5 win over the Braves on Sunday.

      Advice: It didn’t seem like the Nationals would need Finnegan after taking an 8-2 lead into the ninth, but Jordan Weems allowed three runs on three hits without recording an out, so the Nationals asked Finnegan to bail them out. He responded by retiring the three batters he faced, including one on a strikeout. He now has 18 saves with a 1.73 ERA on the season and could be a big trade asset for the Nationals at the deadline if they decide to move on from the 32-year-old. The downside for fantasy managers is that he might not be a lock to close, depending on where he gets traded. Rotoworld Today, 2:20 pm
       
    • J.D. Martinez drives in pair in win over Phillies
      J.D. Martinez drove in a pair of runs in a victory over the Phillies on Sunday.

      Advice: Martinez tied the game at 3-3 with a two-run single in the sixth inning. The 36-year-old has driven in 18 runs since joining the Mets near the end of April and slashed .271/.323/.444 in the process. Rotoworld Today, 10:40 am
       
    • Rafael Devers (knee) out Sunday against White Sox
      Rafael Devers (knee) is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the White Sox.

      Advice: Devers was removed Saturday due to soreness in his knee, and it’s been a lingering issue for the 27-year-old slugger. He’ll get a day off Sunday with Bobby Dalbec getting the start at the hot corner and hitting seventh. Rotoworld Today, 10:35 am
       
    • Sitting Sunday
      Lewis is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Pirates.

      Advice: Lewis will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after going 1-for-8 with three strikeouts over the first two games of the series. The 24-year-old third baseman came off the injured list Tuesday after missing almost 10 weeks due to a strained right quadriceps, so rest days are to be expected. Jose Miranda will start at third base Sunday, while Trevor Larnach serves as the designated hitter against Pirates right-hander Jared Jones. Rotowire.com Today, 7:20 am
       
    • Royce Lewis not starting Sunday vs. Pirates
      Royce Lewis is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the PIrates.

      Advice: The Twins will continue to give Lewis some days of maintenance after returning from his quad injury. The 25-year-old will take a seat with Jose Miranda hitting fifth and playing third base against Jared Jones and Pittsburgh. Rotoworld Today, 7:02 am
       
    • Two hits, stolen base in loss
      Bellinger went 2-for-5 with a run and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Reds.

      Advice: Bellinger reached on a two-out single in the first inning, and he then stole second and came around to score on a Dansby Swanson double. It was just Bellinger's third stolen base of the season after he swiped a career-best 20 bags last season. The 28-year-old is heating up at the dish with seven multi-hit efforts over his last 14 games, and he's accounted for all three of his steals over that stretch.

    • Steals 34th bag in win
      De La Cruz went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: De La Cruz reached on a single in the fifth and proceeded to swipe his MLB-leading 34th bag. After going six straight games without a steal, he now has a swipe in back-to-back games as he continues his torrid pace on the basepaths. The 22-year-old leads MLB with 87 strikeouts but he continues to make up for it with great counting stats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:36 pm
       
    • Belts first career slam
      Sheets went 3-for-4 with a grand slam in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Red Sox.

      Advice: The 28-year-old slugger took Brayan Bello deep in the fifth inning, breaking a 1-1 tie and giving Sheets the first grand slam of his career. He's gone yard in back-to-back games and has four of his seven homers this season in the last 11 contests, a stretch in which Sheets is batting .282 (11-for-39) with 10 RBI.

    • Earns fifth win
      Abbott (5-5) earned the win over the Cubs on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings.

      Advice: Abbott struggled a bit with his command in this one as he tied a season high with four walks, but he still managed to get through five innings to get the win. Abbott has now won four of his last six starts and has allowed two runs or fewer in 10 of his 13 starts thus far. The 25-year-old lefty has been a key cog in the Reds' rotation this year, and he will take a 3.28 ERA into his start against the first-place Brewers next week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:15 pm
