  • Senzel has two hits, two RBI Monday
    Nick Senzel went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI against the Braves on Monday.

    Advice: Senzel hit a two-run double in the first inning to extend the Nationals lead to 4-0. He’s hitting just .221 and striking out a decent amount with a 24 percent strikeout percentage. Senzel is hitting for power, though, with a .183 ISO and his 111 wRC+ would be a career-high. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:01 pm
     
  • Duvall blasts fifth home run Monday
    Adam Duvall went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Nationals on Monday.



    Advice: The home run was Duvall’s fifth of the season. He was in right field for the Braves in their first game since Ronald Acuna Jr. went down with a season-ending injury. With Austin Riley and Sean Murphy back in the lineup, Duvall hit sixth. This wouldn’t be the first time Duvall has seen increased playing time in Acuna’s stead. He’s hitting just .209 with a .710 OPS on the season so far.

  • LaMonte Wade Jr. exits game with leg injury
    LaMonte Wade Jr., who has been dealing with a left hamstring issue, left Monday’s game in the fifth inning with an apparent left leg injury.

    Advice: Wade awkwardly slammed his left leg into the bag sliding into second on a double, but it looked like he might have tweaked the hamstring prior to that. He had his arm around the trainer as he walked off, so this could be more than a day-to-day kind of thing this time. If he lands on the IL, the Giants will probably turn to Wilmer Flores at first base. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:43 pm
     
  • Exits game with knee injury
    Wade was lifted from Monday's game against the Phillies with an apparent left knee injury, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Wade doubled off the wall in the bottom of the fifth inning but came up lame and had to be removed for a pinch-runner. He had missed the previous two games with a hamstring issue, but it would appear this is unrelated. The Giants should have more on Wade soon. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:42 pm
     
  • Davis Schneider goes deep in win over White Sox
    Davis Schneider slugged a two-run homer on Monday in the Blue Jays’ win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Schneider supplied a pair of insurance runs for Toronto with a ninth-inning blast off veteran reliever John Brebbia. It was his fifth round-tripper of the season and first time he’s left the yard since back on May 17. The 25-year-old has emerged as Toronto’s primary leadoff option over the last few weeks, which makes him fantasy-relevant for managers in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:55 pm
     
  • Steven Kwan will start in Triple-A on Tuesday
    According to Guardians manager Stephen Vogt, Steven Kwan will start in left field for Triple-A Columbus on Tuesday.

    Advice: Vogt said the plan is for Kwan to play 6-8 innings in the field. If Kwan were to do that and come out feeling good, he might only need one or two more starts before the Guardians feel good about activating him from the IL. That could mean that Jonathan Rodriguez heads back to Triple-A. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:00 pm
     
  • Returns to action Monday
    Wade (hamstring) will start at first base and bat second in Monday's game versus the Phillies.

    Advice: Wade had to exit a game this past Friday after tweaking his hamstring, causing him to miss the next two contests. He's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one, though, as the Giants take on right-hander Taijuan Walker and the Phillies. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:09 am
     
  • Adam Duvall gets start in RF after Acuna injury
    Braves are giving Adam Duvall the first start in right field after the Ronald Acuna Jr. injury.

    Advice: Duvall is starting in right field and batting sixth while Jarred Kelenic starts in left field and hits ninth. While it’s Duvall who is starting in right field, it’s noteworthy that Kelenic is in the lineup against a left-handed starter. It seems as though Kelenic could be emerging as a potential full-time player with Acuna Jr. out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:22 am
     
  • Adds steal Sunday
    Freeman went 1-for-3 with a walk, a hit-by-pitch, one RBI and one stolen base in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Freeman is still hitting just .217 on the year, but he's made big strides by batting .302 (13-for-43) over his last 12 contests. He's hit leadoff during that entire span, though his time atop the order will likely end when Steven Kwan (hamstring) returns. Freeman has added a .667 OPS, seven steals, four home runs, 20 RBI and 29 runs scored across 184 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:17 am
