  • Brandon Nimmo swats go-ahead homer to fold Cards
    Brandon Nimmo launched a go-ahead solo homer in the seventh inning on Monday, lifting the Mets to a 4-3 victory over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Nimmo’s tie-breaking seventh-inning shot off veteran reliever Andrew Kittredge wound up being the difference in a low-scoring series-opening showdown at Busch Stadium. It was his fourth round-tripper of the season and second time he’s gone deep in his last eight contests since April 29. The 31-year-old leadoff specialist is batting .228/.376/.394 with 19 runs scored, four homers, 22 RBI and two steals across 157 plate appearances so far. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Goes deep, swipes bag
    Morel went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer, a walk and a steal in Monday's loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Morel put the Cubs on the board with his two-run shot in the sixth inning after snagging a steal earlier in the contest. He has five hits over his last five games and four of them have left the yard. The 24-year-old is slashing .220/.315/.449 with 12 extra-base hits (eight home runs), four stolen bases and 23 RBI through 35 games this season. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago

  • Headed to Triple-A
    The Tigers informed Meadows after Monday's game against the Guardians that he'll be optioned to Triple-A Toledo, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Meadows has seen only three at-bats in May after going 6-for-60 over 25 games in April, and Detroit has finally seen enough. Ryan Vilade is expected to be recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Report: Parker Meadows heading to AAA on Tuesday
    Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports that the Tigers are expected to option Parker Meadows to Triple-A Toledo on Tuesday.

    Advice: Meadows, 24, picked up just seven hits in 73 at-bats while with the Tigers with 32 strikeouts in that timeframe. The outfielder will get work in Triple-A with Ryan Vilade expected to receive a promotion in the corresponding transaction. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Collects four hits
    Ramirez went 4-for-4 with a double, three runs scored and one RBI in Monday's win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Ramirez garnered a start against the right-handed Mike Clevinger and made the most of it, tallying his first four-hit game of the season. The 29-year-old pushed his batting average to .286 (34-for-123) with the effort. However, starts against right-handed pitching may be become rarer for Ramirez as Josh Lowe (hamstring) returned from the injured list Monday to enter the mix for Rays outfield and designated hitter at-bats.

  • Smacks first Rays homer
    DeLuca went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Monday's win over the White Sox.

    Advice: DeLuca opened the game's scoring with a two-RBI single off Mike Clevinger in the second inning. However, the outfielder's evening wasn't over as he launched a 401-foot, two-run homer later in the game for his first as a Ray. DeLuca has enjoyed a hot start to his time in Tampa Bay, hitting .333 (5-for-15) with 10 RBI in 16 plate appearances since being activated from the injured list May 3.

  • Jonny DeLuca drives in four in win against CWS
    Jonny DeLuca went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in an 8-2 win against the White Sox on Monday.

    Advice: DeLuca now has back-to-back games with two hits and has recorded all 10 of his RBI in his first four games of the season. Pretty impressive. The 25-year-old outfielder is now hitting .333/.375/.667 in his 15 at-bats. If he’s available, fantasy managers may want to consider stashing him in deeper formats. Rotoworld Today, 7:21 pm
     
  • Grand in win
    Olivares went 2-for-4 with a grand slam and a double in Monday's win over the Angels.

    Advice: Olivares generated all the offense Pittsburgh needed to defeat the Angels on Monday night, blasting a 424-foot grand slam in the third inning. The 28-year-old is the short-side of a platoon currently with Jack Suwinski, which limits his overall fantasy value. Olivares is hitting .218/.282/.397 with four homers, 12 RBI and 10 runs scored in 85 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:07 pm
     
  • Edward Olivares’ grand slam lifts PIT over LAA
    Edward Olivares went 2-for-4 with a home run, double and four RBI in Monday’s 4-1 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Olivares was responsible for all of Pittsburgh’s runs when he hit a grand slam off Tyler Anderson in the third inning. The 28-year-old now has three hits in his past two games after going hitless in his four previous games. He’s only hitting .218 on the season after he got off to a hot start at the beginning of the season. Rotoworld Today, 6:02 pm
