  • Astros place Kyle Tucker (shin) on 10-day IL
    Astros placed OF Kyle Tucker on the 10-day injured list with a right shin contusion.

    Advice: Tucker has been unable to play since leaving Monday’s game with a bruise on his left shin, and the Astros will place him on the injured list rather than play shorthanded. There’s no current timetable for when the 27-year-old can return, but fantasy managers will have to be without one of the best outfielders in baseball for at least a week.

  • Kyle Tucker (shin) remains out Friday vs. Angels
    Kyle Tucker (shin) is not in the starting lineup for Friday’s game against the Angels.

    Advice: Tucker will miss a third straight game while dealing with the shin contusion that he picked up Monday. The outfielder is considered day-to-day with a good chance to return to the lineup against the Halos before the end of the weekend. Trey Cabbage is starting in Tucker’s place.

  • Still out Friday
    Tucker (lower leg) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Tucker will miss a third straight start Friday after bruising his right shin Monday against the Cardinals when he fouled a ball off his lower leg. With Tucker beginning Friday's contest in the dugout, Trey Cabbage will start in right field and bat ninth against Angels right-hander Griffin Canning. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:57 pm

  • Keeps mashing
    Gonzales went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 11-7 loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: The second baseman launched his fourth homer of the season in the third inning, plating Oneil Cruz with a long ball off Walker Buehler. Gonzales has been red hot of late, gong 11-for-30 (.367) with two homers, two doubles and eight RBI in his last seven games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:16 am

  • Homers in loss
    Abrams went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to Atlanta.

    Advice: Abrams broke a scoreless tie in the sixth frame with his leadoff homer against Atlanta starter Reynaldo Lopez. The shortstop came into the contest having gone 1-for-21 over his previous seven games and recently missed time due to a shoulder issue, so the long ball was a much-needed positive development. Abrams reached 10 homers on the campaign with Thursday's blast, but he's slashing a meager .246/.293/.456 through 247 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:38 pm

  • Blasts 18th homer
    Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional run in a 5-2 win against Washington on Thursday.

    Advice: Ozuna gave Atlanta some breathing room with his two-run, eighth-inning blast that extended his team's lead from one run to three. It was the slugger's 18th long ball of the campaign, moving him into fourth place in the majors. Ozuna also ranks second with 55 RBI while slashing an excellent .312/.389/.611 through 252 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:29 pm
     
  • Nick Gonzales hits fourth homer Thursday in loss
    Nick Gonzales went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer on Thursday in the Pirates’ loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Gonzales took Dodgers starter Walker Buehler deep in the early stages of the contest for his fourth long ball of the season. The 25-year-old infielder has been an unexpected revelation for Pittsburgh, batting .315 (28-for-89) with four homers and two steals in 24 games since arriving back in the majors last month.

  • Abrams blasts 10th home run Thursday
    CJ Abrams went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Braves on Thursday.

    Advice: The home run was Abrams’ 10th of the season. He had slumped and missed time with shoulder soreness last week, but seemed unbothered on Thursday. Abrams continues to show more power than he did last year as his .211 ISO is a lot better than the .167 ISO he had last year. Rotoworld Thursday, 6:13 pm
