  • 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 Today, 6:17 pm

  • Ketel Marte homers, drives in three vs. Nationals
    Ketel Marte went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Marte hit a 434-foot shot off Jake Irvin in the top of the first to give the Diamondbacks an early 2-0 lead. It was Marte’s 15 homer of the season and marks his third-straight game with an RBI. He would later bring home Corbin Carroll on a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. The veteran second baseman has bounced back nicely from a down May in which he hit .216 and is now slashing .360/.468/.640 in the month of June with five home runs and 13 RBI.

  • Jordan Westburg leaves game with hip discomfort
    Jordan Westburg was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Yankees with left hip discomfort.

    Advice: Westburg collided awkwardly with Yankees slugger Juan Soto while fielding a first-inning grounder at third base and was lifted from the contest in the ensuing frame. It sounds like his early exit was merely for precautionary reasons, but he’ll presumably undergo some additional testing to rule out anything serious. The 25-year-old holds an .836 OPS with 11 homers and six steals in 275 plate appearances this season. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 5:19 pm

  • Exits early with hip injury
    Westburg left Tuesday's contest with the Yankees in the bottom of the second inning with left hip discomfort, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Westburg struck out swinging to open the game in the top of the first inning and he was later removed from the contest in the bottom of the second. Westburg will certainly undergo imaging on his hip to determine the severity of the injury, but in the meantime, Ramon Urias has replaced him at third base against New York.

  • Jordan Lawlar diagnosed with left hamstring strain
    Diamondbacks SS prospect Jordan Lawlar has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain.

    Advice: Lawlar is going to wind up missing at least 4-6 weeks after suffering the ailment over the weekend at Triple-A Reno. The 21-year-old top prospect missed the first couple months of the year recovering from thumb surgery and just made his season debut in the upper minors last week. Rotoworld Today, 4:22 pm
     
  • Javier Báez (back) resumes baseball activities
    Javier Báez (back) has been cleared to resume baseball activities.

    Advice: Báez landed on the injured list last week with back inflammation, so it’s a positive sign that he’s ready to resume hitting so quickly. It’s looking like he has a chance to return before the end of the month or in early July. Rotoworld Today, 4:12 pm

  • Miguel Vargas draws start Tuesday vs. Rockies
    Miguel Vargas is in left field and batting eighth for Tuesday’s game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Vargas draws his first start for the Dodgers since being recalled earlier this week from Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 24-year-old post-hype prospect tore the cover off the ball earlier this year in the minors and appears poised to finally get an extended shot in Los Angeles with Mookie Betts likely to miss at least two months.

  • Luis Rengifo returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Brewers
    Luis Rengifo (wrist) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Rengifo came off the bench as a pinch-hitter during Monday’s contest and is back in the lineup following a brief absence due to a left wrist contusion. He appears to have avoided serious injury and shouldn’t miss any additional time moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 3:09 pm

  • Back in big leagues
    Mastrobuoni was called up from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni will return to the major-league roster after being sent down May 20, replacing Mike Tauchman (groin) with the Cubs after Tauchman was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Mastrobuoni produced a .264 average with three home runs, 14 RBI, 16 runs scored and four stolen bases over 87 at-bats in 22 games with Iowa since his demotion. Rotowire.com Today, 3:02 pm
