    Fernandez is hitting .277 with a .320 on-base percentage and five home runs in 201 plate appearances for Double-A Hartford.

    Advice: Fernandez has established at past stops that he has at least plus raw power, but while he has improved as a contact hitter in a return to the Eastern League (64.2 Contact% in 2023, 77.7 Contact% in 2024), he's sacrificing impact at the dish. The Cuban right fielder has a poor 19.9 percent soft-hit rate and a career-worst 28 percent infield-flyball rate. He's still just 21 -- the eighth-youngest qualified hitter in the Eastern League -- and the park at Hartford is the most pitcher-friendly home park Fernandez will play in for as long as he remains in the Rockies organization.

  • 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

  • Sitting versus southpaw
    Wisely is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Cubs.

    Advice: Wisely will head to the bench as the team squares off with southpaw Justin Steele of the Cubs. Nick Ahmed will take over at shortstop and bat seventh versus Chicago. Rotowire.com Today, 2:34 pm

  • Sitting versus lefty
    Heyward isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game versus Colorado.

    Advice: Austin Gomber will toe the slab for the Rockies on Tuesday, meaning the left-handed bat of Heyward will step out of the lineup. Teoscar Hernandez will move to right field as a result, opening up left field for Miguel Vargas. Rotowire.com Today, 2:34 pm
     
  • Getting breather against LHP
    Biggio isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Biggio will get a day off versus southpaw Austin Gomber and the Rockies. Enrique Hernandez will get the nod at third base instead while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 2:33 pm

  • Outrighted to Las Vegas
    The Athletics outrighted Brown to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

    Advice: Brown has started nearly every game for the A's this season, but he will be jettisoned off the 40-man roster and sent back to Triple-A after putting up just a .557 OPS through 195 plate appearances. The 31-year-old outfielder will remain within the organization, but his bat will presumably need to come alive in the minors for him to have any chance at returning to Oakland later this year. Lawrence Butler was recalled from Las Vegas in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 2:24 pm

  • Twins put Alex Kirilloff on 10-day IL with back issue
    Twins placed 1B/OF Alex Kirilloff on the 10-day injured list with back soreness.

    Advice: The exact nature of the injury is a bit unclear at the moment, but Kirilloff’s recent demotion to Triple-A St. Paul has been rescinded as he’ll head to the injured list instead. The 26-year-old indicated Tuesday that he was playing through a lingering back issue in the majors before being sent down last week. The former top prospect has struggled this season and it’s fair to speculate whether he still fits into Minnesota’s long-term plans anymore. Rotoworld Today, 2:23 pm

  • Cubs bring back Miles Mastrobuoni on Tuesday
    Cubs recalled INF/OF Miles Mastrobuoni from Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Mastrobuoni gets the call to replace an injured Mike Tauchman (groin) on Chicago’s active roster ahead of Tuesday’s game against the Giants. The 28-year-old offers plenty of defensive versatility, but has been a non-factor at the dish for several years at this juncture. He can be safely ignored in all fantasy formats.

  • Mike Tauchman hits IL with Grade 2 groin strain
    Cubs placed OF Mike Tauchman on the 10-day injured list with a left groin strain.

    Advice: Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Tauchman has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left groin strain and is expected to miss at least one month. The 33-year-old was lifted from Monday’s game against the Giants with left groin tightness. His absence should open up regular at-bats for top prospect Pete Crow-Armstrong moving forward.
