    • Lane Thomas activated from the IL
      Nationals activated OF Lane Thomas from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Thomas has been on the IL for just over a month with a knee injury. The 28-year-old was tremendous in 2023 but has gotten off to a brutal start in 2024 with a .184/.250/.253 slash line in 22 games. He will remain a fixture in the Nationals’ lineup and should turn things around in the coming weeks. While he may not reach the highs of 2023, he remains a quality MLB outfielder and his 11 steals on the season signal the type of fantasy upside he has. Victor Robles was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Monday, 10:33 am
       
    • Reinstated from IL
      Thomas (knee) was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday.

      Advice: Victor Robles was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Thomas has been out since late April with a Grade 2 MCL sprain, but he is now ready to roll following a four-game rehab stint with Double-A Harrisburg. Thomas mostly struggled over the first few weeks before landing on the IL, slashing .184/.250/.253 with two homers and 11 steals, but he should immediately slot back in as the starting right fielder for Washington.

    • Wilyer Abreu sits versus LHP on Monday
      Wilyer Abreu will head to the bench on Monday with the Red Sox facing a left-handed pitcher.

      Advice: Rob Refsnyder will start in his place and bat second. The Red Sox also chose to sit David Hamilton with Cole Irvin on the mound, and Romy Gonzalez will play shortstop. The Red Sox will only face one more left-handed starter this week, so fantasy managers with Abreu on their team should feel good about playing him in weekly lineup lock leagues.

    • Sitting out versus lefty
      Abreu is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore.

      Advice: The Orioles have southpaw Cole Irvin on the mound Monday, so the left-handed hitting Abreu will take a seat. Rob Refsnyder will be in right field for the Red Sox and also occupy the second spot in the batting order. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:12 am

    • Heats up
      Abreu went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Brewers.

      Advice: Abreu, who scored on a sacrifice fly following his fourth-inning triple, is in a productive stretch. The outfielder is 10-for-25 with five extra-base hits, a stolen base, six RBI and four runs scored over the last seven contests. He's thriving against right-handed pitching this season, posting a .926 OPS against them. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:02 am

    • Alec Burleson collects two hits in win on Sunday
      Alec Burleson went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and a run scored as the Cardinals triumphed over the Cubs on Sunday evening.

      Advice: Burleson smacked a one-out single off of Javier Assad in the third inning, then rode home on Paul Goldschmidt’s first two-run homer of the night. With his two-hit effort, the 25-year-old outfielder is now hitting a robust .309/.338/.460 with five long balls, 17 RBI and a pair of stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:20 pm

    • Wilyer Abreu collects three hits in Boston’s win
      Wilyer Abreu went 3-for-4 with a triple Sunday as the Red Sox edged the Brewers 2-1.

      Advice: Abreu benefitted from having a hit lost in the sun, but he also had a 409-foot triple to center that would have been a homer in 21 ballparks and a lineout with a .630 xBA. Abreu is batting .284/.359/.500 in 167 plate appearances, and while he’s probably overachieving somewhat, he’s certainly worth playing in mixed leagues for now. Rotoworld Sunday, 5:18 pm

    • Lane Thomas (knee) could return Monday for Nats
      Lane Thomas (knee) could return to the Nationals lineup Monday against Atlanta.

      Advice: Thomas has been on the shelf since April 23 with an MCL sprain in his knee, but he started a rehab assignment Tuesday. Nationals manager Dave Martinez told reporters that Thomas will go through drills prior to Monday’s game, and if things go well, he could be activated to play. The 28-year-old was excellent for most of 2023, and he’d be worth fantasy consideration if/when that takes place. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:30 am
       
    • Launches ninth homer
      Tatis went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in Saturday's loss to the Yankees.

      Advice: Tatis provided the only offense for San Diego on Saturday, launching a solo shot off Luke Weaver in the bottom of the eighth for his ninth home run of the season. The star outfielder has hit safely in seven of his last nine games, though he hasn't registered more than two hits in either of those contests and is still batting just .253 (22-for-87) in May. Tatis has scored and driven in a run in three of his last four games. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:34 am
