    • Homers in four-hit effort
      Doyle went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Tuesday's 11-9 loss to the Dodgers.

      Advice: The homer was Doyle's first since May 15, and it was also his first extra-base hit since June 3. While he hasn't hit for much power, the outfielder has been sharp at the plate and adds speed on the bases. He's up to a .274/.342/.407 slash line with six homers, 21 RBI, 43 runs scored, 18 stolen bases, 11 doubles and two triples through 69 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:39 pm
       
    • Brenton Doyle goes 4-for-5, homers against Dodgers
      Brenton Doyle finished 4-for-5 with a homer and two RBI against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

      Advice: Doyle probably still shouldn’t be batting second for a quality major league team, but he’s made big gains this season, particularly in cutting his K:BB ratio from nearly 7:1 last year to slightly less than 3:1 this season. The homer was his sixth, and he’s batting a respectable .274/.342/.407. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:20 pm
       
    • Abrams pushes hitting streak to 11 games in loss
      CJ Abrams went 2-for-4 in the Nationals’ loss to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

      Advice: Abrams was responsible for two of the Nationals’ four hits on the night, with both coming off starter Slade Cecconi, who was dialed in all evening. Abrams has now hit safely in 11 straight games and is slashing .298/.377/.574 in the month of June. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:17 pm

    • Willson Contreras (forearm) makes rehab debut at DH
      Willson Contreras (forearm) went 1-for-3 with a run scored on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Memphis.

      Advice: Contreras got in a handful of at-bats at designated hitter in his first minor league rehab contest since undergoing surgery back in early May to repair a left forearm fracture. There’s a strong possibility he’s back for St. Louis before the end of the month. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:30 pm
       
    • Kyle Tucker (shin) still not back to baseball activity
      Kyle Tucker (shin) still hasn’t resumed baseball activities.

      Advice: Astros manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that there was optimism Tucker would be able to resume some baseball activities by this point, but that hasn’t happened. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar has been out since early June due to a right shin contusion. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:19 pm

    • Sidelined for eight weeks
      The Yankees placed Rizzo on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a right forearm fracture.

      Advice: Per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, Rizzo will be shut down from all activities for up to five weeks, and it will be eight weeks until he's ready to play in games. Ben Rice is up to take his roster spot and is starting at first base Tuesday against the Orioles in his major-league debut. The Yankees also figure to use DJ LeMahieu at first base and Oswaldo Cabrera at third base some days while Rizzo is shelved. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:43 pm
       
    • Brenton Doyle back in lineup Tuesday vs. Dodgers
      Brenton Doyle (knee) is in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Doyle is back in center field for the second consecutive contest after sitting out a pair of contests over the weekend due to left knee tendinitis. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward for fantasy managers to worry about. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:36 pm
       
    • Anthony Rizzo heads to IL with forearm fracture
      Yankees placed 1B Anthony Rizzo on the 10-day injured list with a right forearm fracture.

      Advice: Rizzo is expected to miss roughly two months after suffering a fracture in his right forearm last weekend during a first-base collision. The 34-year-old veteran first baseman hasn’t made much of an offensive impact, but he remains an excellent defender at the cold corner, which is where his loss will be felt the most over the next few weeks. There’s a chance he’s back at some point in mid-August. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:21 pm
       
    • Shut down for multiple weeks
      Rizzo (arm) said Tuesday that he will be shut down from all baseball activities for 4-5 weeks, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

      Advice: When it was revealed Monday that Rizzo is dealing with a fracture to the radial neck of his right arm, the initial timetable of up to six weeks was provided. However, this latest report suggests a six-week absence could be a worst-case scenario. For his part, Rizzo said Tuesday he expects to play again this season. Ben Rice will be called up to take his spot on the Yankees' active roster. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:53 pm
