  • Nearing game action
    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Perdomo (knee) is expected to play in live games "very, very shortly," Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: The 24-year-old has already taken live at-bats but has yet to run thus bases, so he still has a bit of work to do in his rehab program before seeing game action. Lovullo said in mid-May that Perdomo was expected to return from the injured list in a couple weeks, but it instead appears the shortstop's absence will extend into June.

  • Getting breather versus lefty
    Merrill isn't in the Padres' lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

    Advice: The left-handed bat of Merrill will step out of the lineup Tuesday as the Marlins prepare to send Jesus Luzardo to the mound. Jose Azocar will fill the void in center field and bat eighth while Merrill sits. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:21 pm
     
  • Smacks homer in win
    Adames went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer in Monday's victory over the Cubs.

    Advice: Adames popped his first home run since May 7 when he crushed a 427-foot, three-run shot off Hayden Wesneski in the eighth inning. The Brewers shortstop hopes the homer turns his month around, as he entered the game slashing .213/.253/.404 over 99 plate appearances in May. Overall, Adames is hitting .249/.322/.440 with eight home runs, 27 runs scored and 35 RBI in 233 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:38 pm
     
  • Adames blasts eighth home run Monday
    Willy Adames went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run against the Cubs on Monday.



    Advice: Adames came to the plate with two men on and one out in a 1-0 game in the eighth inning. He blasted a Hayden Wesneski offering to center for a no-doubt home run. The home run was Adames’ eighth of the season and he already has a career-high eight stolen bases.

  • Masyn Winn leads off against a lefty
    Masyn Winn is in the lineup as the lead-off hitter on Monday against a left-handed starter.

    Advice: This is the second straight game against a lefty that the Cardinals have hit Winn lead-off while Brendan Donovan sits on the bench. The 22-year-old has been great in May, slashing .299//.324/.478 with two home runs, eight RBI, and three steals in 18 games while posting just a 10 percent strikeout rate. That contact-heavy approach with good speed could make him an ideal lead-off hitter, which would improve his fantasy value a good deal. Rotoworld Monday, 11:27 am
     
  • Bryson Stott gets a day off on Monday
    Bryson Stott is not in the lineup for the Phillies game against the Giants on Monday.

    Advice: It’s a routine day off for Stott, which was a decision made easier by the Giants starting left-hander Blake Snell. Edmundo Sosa will move up to sixth in the lineup while Whit Merrifield will play second base and hit seventh. Cristian Pache will also start in left field with Brandon Marsh sitting against the lefty. Rotoworld Monday, 11:19 am
     
  • Sitting against left-hander
    Stott is not in the lineup for Monday's game in San Francisco.

    Advice: The Giants are starting reigning National League Cy Young winner and southpaw Blake Snell on Monday, so the left-handed hitting Stott will receive a day off. Whit Merrifield will handle second base for the Phillies. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:17 am
     
  • Leading off Monday
    Winn will start at shortstop and bat leadoff Monday against the Reds, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With lefty Nick Lodolo due up for Cincinnati, Cardinals skipper Oliver Marmol will give the rookie another opportunity to set the table. Winn has made two other starts in the leadoff spot this season but has primarily hit in the bottom third of the order. That could change given Winn's hot hitting; he's riding a 15-game hitting streak during which he's slashing .375/.404/.604. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:01 am
     
  • Continues power surge
    Seager went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 6-2 win over the Twins.

    Advice: Seager had just two homers through the end of April, but his power swing has returned in a big way. The shortstop has clubbed six homers over his last six games and is now at 11 long balls on the year. He's also gone 13-for-37 (.351) during a 10-game hitting streak. Seager's surge has him up to a .258/.349/.447 slash line with 24 RBI, 25 runs scored, no stolen bases and three doubles through 49 contests overall. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:40 pm
