    • Reds bring back Livan Soto from Triple-A
      Reds recalled INF Livan Soto from Triple-A Louisville.

      Advice: Soto is back to take the roster spot of Nick Martini, with Martini being placed on the injured list Sunday with a thumb injury. Soto is unlikely to be more than a bench option while with the club through the All-Star break. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:27 am
       
    • Josh Smith returning to lineup Sunday vs. Rays
      Josh Smith (lower body) is hitting third and playing third base against the Rays on Sunday.

      Advice: Smith missed Friday and Saturday’s game due to glute tightness, but he’s well enough to man the hot corner for Sunday’s finale against the Rays with the Rangers looking to procure a sweep. Jonathan Ornelas retreats to the bench with Smith back in action. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:09 am

    • Back in bench role
      Vargas is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Vargas picked up five straight starts in the infield between last Sunday and Thursday, but he benefited largely from Washington facing three left-handed pitchers over that stretch. He'll now hit the bench for the third game in a row, with a right-hander taking the hill for the opposition in each of those contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:51 am

    • Hits first career homer in win
      Lee went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 9-3 win over the Astros.

      Advice: Lee took Hunter Brown deep in the third inning for his first career major-league home run. The 23-year-old has hit the ground running with the Twins, going 7-for-15 with a home run and six RBI over his first four games. While it's unclear exactly how much time Royce Lewis (groin) will miss, the rookie has made the most of his time in the big leagues so far. Rotowire.com Saturday, 6:13 pm
       
    • Cruz blasts 13th home run in loss to Mets Saturday
      Oneil Cruz went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run against the Mets on Saturday.

      Advice: Cruz’ home run was his 13th of the season. He hit a two-run shot off David Peterson in the second inning. Cruz was hitting just .145 with two home runs in 76 at-bats against left-handed pitching entering Saturday. He’s hitting .244 with a .737 OPS and 39 RBI on the season.

    • Xavier Edwards reaches three times, scores run
      Xavier Edwards reached three times while going 2-for-3 in a win over the White Sox.

      Advice: The only negative was a caught stealing for Edwards, his second of the year. The 24-year-old is a former top prospect who has hit .286/.375/.357 since taking over the shortstop role for the recently-departed Tim Anderson. His speed could help fantasy managers, but Edwards lack of power makes him a tough sell for fantasy managers in anything but NL-only formats. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:52 pm
       
    • Brooks Lee hits first career homer against Astros
      Brooks Lee went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer against the Astros on Saturday.

      Advice: Lee took Hunter Brown deep in the third inning, giving the Twins a six-run lead early in the game. It was Lee’s first career major league home run in his fourth game for the Twins since he was promoted on July 3. The 23-year-old is off to a good start, going 7-for-14 at the plate with six RBI so far. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:54 pm
       
    • Idle Saturday
      Mateo isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against Oakland.

      Advice: Mateo will get a day off Saturday after going 1-for-4 with a strikeout during Friday's series opener. His absence will move Jordan Westburg over to second base while Ramon Urias starts at third, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:38 am
       
    • Taking seat Saturday
      McKinstry isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Saturday's game versus Cincinnati.

      Advice: McKinstry has failed to record a base hit in 14 at-bats over his last five contests, and he'll now sit down for the second game in a row Saturday. Ryan Kreidler will start instead at shortstop and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:31 am
