    • Getting maintenance Wednesday
      Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Jansen started at catcher in each of Toronto's last three games, so he's likely just getting some maintenance Wednesday. Alejandro Kirk will sub in for Jansen behind the dish. Rotowire.com Today, 1:26 pm
       
    • Gets aboard three times in loss
      Garcia went 2-for-4 with a walk, one stolen base and two runs scored in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: Garcia is making excellent contact lately with multiple hits in nine of his last 16 games. He's gone hitless just three times in that span. It took a while for the third baseman to get into a rhythm at the plate, but the Royals stuck with him atop the lineup due to his speed. Garcia is slashing .267/.316/.398 with five home runs, 14 steals, 35 RBI, 40 runs scored, 12 doubles and three triples through 60 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:13 am

    • Remains out of lineup
      Tucker (shin) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Cardinals, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Tucker exited Monday's 7-4 win over St. Louis after fouling a ball off his right shin and has now missed two straight starts. The Astros are off Thursday, so Tucker could have a shot to return to the lineup Friday, when the club takes on the Angels. Trey Cabbage will cover right field Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:12 am

    • Cruises to eighth win
      Gil (8-1) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one hit and three walks over six scoreless innings in a 5-1 victory over the Twins. He struck out six.

      Advice: The 26-year-old didn't miss a beat after being named the American League Rookie and Pitcher of the Month for May. Gil extended his quality-start streak to seven with the performance, and he's won all seven of those outings with an eye-popping 0.60 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 50:15 K:BB through 44.2 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to be a marquee matchup against the Dodgers in Yankee Stadium this weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 8:04 am
       
    • Up to seven saves
      Fairbanks earned the save in Tuesday's 9-5 win over Miami, striking out a pair in a perfect ninth inning.

      Advice: Phil Maton originally got the call in the ninth with Tampa Bay up by four runs. However, he'd allow the Marlins to load the bases on three straight singles, forcing the Rays to turn to Fairbanks, who proceeded to strike out Bryan De La Cruz and Jake Burger before coaxing a game-ending groundout from Josh Bell. It was an impressive performance from the 30-year-old right-hander, who hasn't allowed an earned run in his last 11 innings. Overall, Fairbanks is 7-for-8 in save chances with a 3.50 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 21:10 K:BB over 18 innings this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:58 pm
       
    • Makes impact in return
      Robert (hip) went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: Robert's blast gave the White Sox a lead in the seventh inning, but they couldn't make it stick. This was his first game in nearly two months after the oft-injured outfielder was sidelined by a Grade 2 hip flexor strain in early April. Despite the absence, he's already at three homers through eight games this season. Robert has the potential to make a noticeable impact in fantasy, but his managers will need to be mindful to check for his presence in the lineup, as he's not expected to be a full-time option immediately after such a lengthy absence. Given his injury history, it's likely wise for the White Sox to make sure he gets regular rest, though some of those days could see his bat stay in the lineup as the designated hitter if he's hitting too well to fully sit.

    • Powers team to win
      Morel went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Morel launched his 11th home run of the season and second in the last five games in the sixth inning to spark the Cubs' comeback victory. The 24-year-old has been a bit all or nothing this year, as he's batting just .201; however, his power potential alone should keep him in Chicago's lineup most days and gives him fantasy upside, which he flashed last season with 26 long balls in only 388 at-bats.

    • Happ drives in go-ahead runs vs. White Sox
      Ian Happ went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in Tuesday’s win over the White Sox.

      Advice: In a game that went back and forth throughout, Happ dealt the final blow when he swatted a two-RBI double to put the Cubs up 7-6 with one out in the eighth. Happ is now sitting on 26 RBI for the season and has six homers to go with a slash line of .232/.335/.394. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:34 pm

    • Delivers clutch effort in win
      Happ went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two runs scored and two RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Happ had his first three-hit effort since April 16 and his last hit was his biggest, a two-run double in the bottom of the eighth inning that turned a one-run deficit into a one-run lead for the Cubs. While the outfielder is batting just .232 on the season, he's up to .303 over his last 10 games, and his track record suggests he should continue to trend upward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:31 pm
