  • Josh Rojas has two hits in loss to Orioles Tuesday
    Josh Rojas went 2-for-2 with a pair of singles on Tuesday night as the Mariners were shut out by the Orioles.

    Advice: Rojas became the Mariners’ first baserunner in the game as he smacked a two-out single to center off of Grayson Rodriguez in the third inning. The 30-year-old infielder also led off the sixth inning with a single but was ultimately stranded at third base. Those two hits would wind up being the Mariners’ only hits in the ballgame. For the season, Rojas is slashing .260/.326/.383 with four homers, 16 RBI and six stolen bases. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago

  • Set for MRI on groin injury
    Lewis is set to undergo an MRI and additional testing for the left groin injury he suffered in Tuesday's win over Detroit, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports. "This is out of my control," Lewis said. "So what I can control, I'm very happy about, but this is out of my control. I have no idea. But probably not very optimistic, to be honest with you. I'm praying, but it's usually always horrible news. So we'll see."

    Advice: Lewis suffered the injury after legging out a double in the third inning and played two more innings in the field before departing. It sounds like Lewis may be headed for an injured list stint based on his comments, but more will known after the MRI. Rotowire.com Today, 9:14 pm

    Advice: Freeman singled and scored in the fifth inning and added a two-run home run in the sixth.

  • Hits grand slam in win
    Gorman went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in a 7-4 win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Advice: Gorman hit a grand slam in the fourth inning and added a single in the sixth. He was mired in a 2-for-29 slump but opened July with his first home run since June 19 and first multi-hit effort since June 4. On the season, the second baseman owns a disappointing .192 average but is currently tied with Ketel Marte for tops at the position with 17 home runs. Rotowire.com Today, 8:05 pm

  • Elly De La Cruz homers in win over Yankees
    Elly De La Cruz went 2-for-5 with a home run and two RBIs in a win over the Yankees on Tuesday.

    Advice: The home run was a 425-foot shot for his 15th home run of the season. Elly also struck out twice and is hitting just .226 over his last 40 games while posting a strikeout rate of over 31 percent; however, his athleticism and raw power are so elite that he continues to produce fantasy goodness. If he ever made the plate discipline gains to make more consistent contact, he could be the best player in fantasy baseball. Rotoworld Today, 7:31 pm
     
  • Austin Riley homers again in loss to Giants
    Austin Riley went 1-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday’s loss to the Giants.

    Advice: Riley got the scoring started for the Braves in the second inning when he took Hayden Birdsong 415 feet to left for a solo homer. The home run was Riley’s 10th blast of the season and his third in his last 10 games. The veteran third baseman has gotten off to a slow start this season after three straight 30-plus homer seasons but has now hit safely in six of his last eight games. Rotoworld Today, 7:24 pm
     
  • Goes deep again Tuesday
    Malloy went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Malloy is starting to settle in at the MLB level as he blasted his fourth career home run and second in as many games. The rookie was batting .158 through his first 13 contests, but he's upped that to a more respectable .241 over his last 11 games. There's still room for improvement, though if Malloy can continue to display good power, fantasy managers will deal with a lower batting average. Rotowire.com Today, 7:11 pm
     
  • Gorman homers, drives in four in win
    Nolan Gorman went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in a win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Advice: Gorman’s home run was a 415-foot shot for his 17th of the season to go along with 41 RBIs. However, he also struck out twice and came into today with a 36.5 percent strikeout rate. In his last 35 games, Gorman is hitting just .177/.241/.411 with a 36.5 percent strikeout rate. However, he also has 10 home runs and five steals over that span, so if you are not in a batting average league or are punting the category, you can likely still roster Gorman.
