  • Josh Smith homers in win
    Josh Smith went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Royals on Sunday.

    Advice: Smith took Sam Long deep 383 feet at 102.2 mph for his seventh home run on the season. The 26-year-old has been brilliant filling in for Josh Jung, hitting .303/.391/.478 on the year. Considering his ability to play all over the field, he should be able to fight for consistent playing time even when Jung returns. Provided he keeps hitting like this. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:01 pm
     
  • Josh Naylor with three more hits, home run
    Josh Naylor went 3-for-5 with a home run, double, and two runs scored on Sunday in a 6-5 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Naylor is scalding hot right now. He has multiple hits in six of his last 13 games with four home runs and 13 RBI over that same span. His .835 OPS is higher than that of Fernando Tatis Jr., Pete Alonso, and Corey Seager. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:36 pm
     
  • Kenley Jansen earns second save in two days
    Kenley Jansen earned his second save in two days with a scoreless ninth Sunday against the Reds.

    Advice: It’s Jansen’s 15th save of the year and No. 435 in his career. Jansen and Chris Martin both pitched for the second straight day today, so unless the Red Sox are willing to go to one of them three days in a row, Justin Slaten might get the ninth in a save situation Monday.

  • Gavin Sheets doubles and scores in loss
    Gavin Sheets went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored on Sunday against the Tigers.

    Advice: Sheets has been something of a bright spot in what’s otherwise been a very dim White Sox season. His strikeout rate has gone down for the fourth consecutive season and his .739 OPS leads the team. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:42 pm

  • Sitting Sunday
    Robert is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Detroit.

    Advice: White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Sunday that it's a scheduled day off for Robert as the 26-year-old outfielder eases his way back from his IL stint due to a hip flexor strain, per Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times. Since returning from the injured list June 4, Robert is slashing .180/.275/.459 with five home runs and seven RBI over 61 at-bats. Tommy Pham will start in center field while Andrew Benintendi and Gavin Sheets man the corners against Tigers right-hander Reese Olson. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:37 am
     
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. returns at DH on Sunday vs. M’s
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. (biceps) is in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Mariners.

    Advice: It’s a rare bit of positive injury news for Miami as Chisholm is back at designated hitter for Sunday’s series finale following an early exit from Saturday’s game due to right biceps tightness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern at the moment and it’s certainly a welcome development for fantasy managers. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:08 am
     
  • Luis Robert Jr. not in Sunday’s lineup vs. Tigers
    Luis Robert Jr. is not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the division-rival Tigers.

    Advice: It appears to be a routine off day for Robert, who has made nine consecutive starts for Chicago dating back to June 13. The 26-year-old is batting .180 (11-for-61) with five homers and two steals in 17 games since returning earlier this month from a lengthy stint on the injured list. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:05 am
     
  • Sitting Sunday
    Gonzales isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Gonzales will get a chance to regroup Sunday after going 1-for-17 with five strikeouts over his last five games. In his place, Jared Triolo will get the nod at the keystone and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:58 am
     
  • Goes yard again in loss
    Abrams went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's loss to the Rockies.

    Advice: Abrams doubled in his second at-bat before coming around to score Washington's first run of the contest on a Lane Thomas single. The shortstop would then add a leadoff homer in the fifth to cut Colorado's lead down to one run, giving him 12 long balls on the season. Abrams has now logged multiple hits in three consecutive games and is batting .361 in June with three homers, 13 RBI and 12 runs scored. He's also struck out just twice over his last eight games while drawing four walks. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:33 am
