  • Provides offense Sunday
    Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-1 loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: Hoerner led off the contest with a solo home run, his fourth long ball of the season and second in the last four games. However, he didn't do anything else the rest of the afternoon, while the team as a whole only mustered one additional hit. Still, Hoerner managed to extend his hitting streak to eight games, and he's batting .344 during the stretch. The infielder should remain a viable fantasy option from the top of the order so long as he stays locked in at the plate. Rotowire.com Today, 7:18 pm

  • Picks up 16th save
    Jansen earned the save Sunday against San Diego, striking out one batter during a perfect ninth inning.

    Advice: Jansen was lights-out, and he has now converted on 12 straight save chances. It was his seventh straight appearance without allowing a run. He's been fantastic as of late, with a 0.70 ERA over his last 12 appearances. The 36-year-old has converted 16 of 17 save chances this season and will carry a 2.22 ERA and 1.02 WHIP into July.

  • Hoerner extends hitting streak with home run
    Nico Hoerner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Brewers on Sunday.

    Advice: It was a quiet afternoon for the Cubs’ offense as they could only muster one run against the Brewers. Hoerner’s home run was just his fourth of the year. He’s hitting just .248 on the season, but has a hit in each of his last seven games. He’s 10-for-27 (.370) with two home runs and three RBI in that time. Rotoworld Today, 1:47 pm

  • Receiving Sunday off
    Correa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Seattle.

    Advice: The veteran shortstop was in the lineup the past two days after being hit by a pitch on the right wrist Thursday, but he'll receive a day off for Sunday's series finale. Correa didn't appear to be affected by the injury as he went 3-for-8with a two-run homer and an additional run scored in the first two games of the series. Rotowire.com Today, 11:14 am
     
  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Ruiz is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Ruiz has a .639 OPS in his past 10 games and will head to the bench for the series finale in Tampa Bay. Drew Millas will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Patrick Corbin. Rotowire.com Today, 10:31 am
     
  • Notches 12th save
    Scott struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his 12th save of the season in a 3-2 win over the Phillies.

    Advice: The southpaw delivered his eighth straight scoreless appearance on 12 pitches (eight strikes), and Scott has racked up four saves in four trips to the mound over the last week. The 29-year-old closer has put his shaky start to 2024 firmly behind him, and he sports a 1.50 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 38:23 K:BB through 36 innings while converting 12 of 14 save chances.

  • Royce Lewis absent from Twins’ lineup on Saturday
    Royce Lewis is absent from the Twins’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s showdown against the Mariners.

    Advice: The Twins are making sure to mix in days off to keep the 25-year-old superstar fresh and healthy. While that’s disappointing for fantasy managers, at least the goal is keeping him in the lineup and off the injured list. Jose Miranda will cover the hot corner while Trevor Larnach functions as the team’s designated hitter on Saturday evening against Bryce Miller and the Mariners. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:13 pm
