  • 6-0-0 1st Place
    • Swipes bag in win
      Torres went 1-for-3 with a walk, one stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Twins.

      Advice: Torres' steal was his first since April 13. The second baseman has had a modest May, batting .205 (9-for-44) with two home runs and four RBI. That's a little worse than his .216 average for the season, and he's added a poor .574 OPS with four steals, two home runs, 10 RBI, 19 runs scored and four doubles through 183 plate appearances. While Torres has struggled, he remains the Yankees' near-everyday starter at the keystone. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:34 pm
       
    • Jonathan India scratched due to migraine
      Jonathan India was scratched from Wednesday’s lineup due to a migraine.

      Advice: The Reds are sticking with their plan to give Elly De La Cruz the day off, so this means Spencer Steer, who was due to play first, will make his first start at second base this year. Jacob Hurtubise entered the lineup as the left fielder. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:25 pm
       
    • Scratched from lineup
      India was a late scratch from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Arizona due to a migraine, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Spencer Steer will shift to second base to cover for India, while Jacob Hurtubise will enter the lineup in left field. Consider India day-to-day for the time being. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:14 pm
       
    • Snaps slump with key homer
      Torres went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 10-6 win over Tampa Bay.

      Advice: Torres came into the contest batting .156 through 10 games in May and failed to reach base in his first three plate appearances Sunday. However, he came up big in the eighth inning, smashing a three-run shot to increase the Yankees' lead to 9-5. The long ball was just his second of the season, which is a pretty significant drop-off after he went deep 25 times in 158 contests last year. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:36 am
       
    • Three hits, steal in loss
      India went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Giants.

      Advice: India posted his second multi-hit effort of May, but he's still hitting a modest .216 (8-for-37) for the month. All three of his hits Sunday were singles. The second baseman is up to a .225/.331/.310 slash line with two home runs, four steals, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, three doubles and a triple over 35 contests this season. Despite his lackluster hitting, India's fourth on the team in batting average and sixth in OPS, so it's unlikely he'll lose a starting role any time soon. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:36 pm
       
    • Gleyber Torres homers in win over Rays
      Gleyber Torres went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in a win over the Rays on Sunday.

      Advice: Torres’ big fly was a 395-foot shot that left the bat at 103 mph for his second home run of the season. It’s been a rough season for Torres and was a rough week overall, going just 2-for-19 combined against the Astros and Rays. Perhaps the 27-year-old is trying to do too much in his contract season, but he’s been making more contact recently so it’s best to hold onto him in fantasy leagues because he’s too talented a hitter to keep performing at this level all season.

    • Resting Saturday
      Torres is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Torres will be held out of the lineup for the first time since April 20 against Tampa Bay, though he did pinch hit in that contest. Torres is 5-for-30 with five walks and a solo home run in May, and he is coming off an 0-for-4 showing with one strikeout in Friday's win. Oswaldo Cabrera will shift to second base Saturday while Jon Berti gets the start at third. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:46 am
       
    • Gleyber Torres on the bench Saturday vs. Rays
      Gleyber Torres is not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Rays.

      Advice: Torres finds himself on the bench after a dreadful start to the month, batting .167 (5-for-30 with one homer in nine games since May 1. The 27-year-old second baseman’s underlying Statcast metrics have been some of the worst of his career and it’s difficult to pinpoint what exactly he needs to do to turn things around at the moment. It’ll be Oswaldo Cabrera taking a turn at the keystone on Saturday in his absence. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:16 am
       
    • Sitting against lefty
      Donovan isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Left-hander Robert Gasser will make his MLB debut Friday as Milwaukee's starting pitcher, meaning the left-handed bat of Donovan will begin the game from the Cardinals' dugout. Lars Nootbaar, Mike Siani and Dylan Carlson will start across St. Louis' outfield while Donovan sits. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:23 pm
