    • Ends power drought
      Yelich went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Yelich's last homer was was April 10. He dealt with a back injury that kept him out of the lineup for nearly a month, and his power was the last part of his game to return. The outfielder has gone 20-for-69 (.290) over 18 contests since he returned from the injured list, though he's logged just six extra-base hits in that span. For the season, Yelich is slashing .306/.390/.546 with six homers, 22 RBI, 19 runs scored, seven stolen bases, four doubles and two triples over 29 contests. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:44 pm
       
    • Another strong outing in win
      Lugo (9-1) earned the win Wednesday over the Twins, allowing one run on six hits and three walks while striking out five over six innings.

      Advice: Lugo won five of his six starts in May, allowing just nine runs (eight earned) over 40.1 innings in the month. This was just the fourth time in 12 starts Lugo has allowed nine or more baserunners, as he's been one of the most dominant pitchers in the majors this season. The right-hander is now at a 1.72 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 66:18 K:BB over 78.1 innings this season. Lugo's next start is projected to be at Cleveland in a battle between the AL Central's two best teams.

    • Lane Thomas homers, steals two bases
      Lane Thomas went 3-for-4 with a go-ahead three-run home run, double, walk, two runs scored, and two stolen bases in the Nationals win over the Braves on Wednesday.

      Advice: Thomas has been scorching hot since coming off the IL on Monday going 5-for-13 with four extra-base hits. The stolen bases were his first two since being activated and pushed his total up to 13 on the year despite missing more than a month. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:36 pm
       
    • Matt Olson doubles twice in loss
      Matt Olson went 2-for-4 with two doubles as the Braves lost to the Nationals on Wednesday.

      Advice: The Braves were largely held in check by MacKenzie Gore and the Nationals’ bullpen in this one as their lineup tries to acclimate to a new normal with Ronald Acuña Jr. Olson has had a solid month of May slashing .277/.333/.489 with five home runs and 14 RBI after a slow April Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:35 pm

    • Christian Yelich homers, drives in three Wednesday
      Christian Yelich went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, three RBI, and two runs scored on Wednesday against the Cubs.

      Advice: After going hitless in his last two games, Yelich put the Brewers on the board in the first inning with a two-run blast off Shota Imanaga. It was the first extra-base hit Imanaga has allowed to a left-handed batter. Yelich later knocked a base hit in the third and scored on a double by Gary Sánchez. The 29-year-old outfielder is hitting an outstanding .306/.390/.546 with six homers, 22 RBI, and seven steals across 124 plate appearances. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:20 pm
       
    • Seth Lugo with another quality start, victory
      Seth Lugo stayed on track allowing just one earned run across six innings in a 6-1 win over the Twins. He struck out five and walked three.

      Advice: Lugo continued his stellar season earning his ninth win. He only induced nine whiffs and the Twins made plenty of hard contact with nine hard-hit balls, but Lugo once again managed to limit damage. He continues to mix eight pitches and saw his ERA drop to 1.72 in what’s been one of the biggest surprises of the young season. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:18 pm
       
    • Corey Seager hits eighth homer in last eight games
      Corey Seager homered for the third consecutive contest on Wednesday, and eighth time over his last eight games, powering the Rangers to a 6-1 victory over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Seager remained sizzling-hot at the dish on Wednesday afternoon at Globe Life Field in a rematch of last year’s Fall Classic, taking Arizona starter Ryne Nelson out to right field in the fifth inning for a two-run blast. It was his 13th round-tripper of the season and lone hit in three at-bats in this one, although he did manage to draw a free pass as well. The 30-year-old fantasy superstar has gone deep a whopping eight times over his last eight games since May 19. He’s raised his full-season OPS from .681 to .828 during that span. Unreal.

    • Getting day off
      Pham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: The White Sox will give rest to two of their veteran outfielders in the series finale, with Andrew Benintendi joining Pham on the bench. Dominic Fletcher will fill in as the White Sox's starting center fielder after Pham had been included in the lineup in each of the last 26 games. Pham has been one of Chicago's most productive hitters since signing with the team in April, but he's fallen into a 0-for-12 funk at the plate over his last three starts.

    • Tommy Pham takes a seat versus Blue Jays
      Tommy Pham is out of the White Sox lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: It’s his first time absent from the lineup since May 7. The White Sox are using Corey Julks in the leadoff spot and giving Dominic Fletcher a start in center tonight. Rotoworld Wednesday, 12:48 pm
