  • Jesse Winker leaves game with apparent leg injury
    Jesse Winker was removed from Saturday’s ballgame against the Marlins in the third inning with an apparent leg injury.

    Advice: The 30-year-old outfielder awkwardly rounded second base before pulling up and retreating during the first inning. He stayed in the game initially, but was ultimately lifted two innings later. Expect the Nationals to provide an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Today, 1:48 pm

  • Placed on 10-day IL
    Harris (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday.

    Advice: As expected, Harris will now be sidelined for at least 10 days while nursing a strained left hamstring. Ramon Laureano was selected from Triple-A Gwinnett to replace Harris on the major-league roster while Spencer Strider (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list in corresponding moves.

  • Michael Harris II hits IL with hamstring strain
    Braves placed OF Michael Harris II on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: No word yet on the severity of the injury, but fantasy managers should anticipate Harris missing at least a couple weeks, even in a best-case scenario. The 23-year-old upper-echelon fantasy contributor, who hits the shelf with a .653 OPS with five homers and eight steals across 278 plate appearances through 67 contests, suffered the injury during the opening frame of Friday’s contest against the Rays while running the bases. There should be some clarity on his return timeline in the coming days. Rotoworld Today, 7:32 am
     
  • Slugs 15th homer
    Santander went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: His eighth-inning shot off Matt Strahm sent the game to extras, but Baltimore came up short in the end. Santander has been on a tear in June, slashing .273/.333/.636 with six of his 15 homers on the season in 14 games on the month. Rotowire.com Today, 7:11 am
     
  • Slugs key homer
    Suwinski went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Friday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Suwinski went yard in the seventh inning to give the Pirates a couple insurance runs. It was his second home run in eight games since returning from Triple-A Indianapolis, though he's gone just 4-for-24 with a 48.4 percent strikeout rate in that span. Despite those struggles, Suwinski remains the primary center fielder and has started eight of Pittsburgh's last 10 games. Rotowire.com Today, 6:17 am
     
  • Begins rehab assignment
    Thomas (hamstring) went 1-for-2 with a walk and a home run in the Arizona Complex League on Thursday.

    Advice: Thomas opened a rehab assignment as the DH and received three plate appearances as the leadoff hitter before being removed for a pinch hitter in the sixth inning. He did not play Friday. Per Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, Thomas will likely move to Triple-A Reno to continue his rehab, and he could potentially return at some point this coming week. Rotowire.com Today, 5:34 am

  • Slugs seventh homer
    Ramos went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run and two walks in Friday's 8-6 loss to the Angels.

    Advice: Ramos collected his seventh multi-hit effort in 12 games in June. He's also posted five homers, 14 RBI and an 8:15 BB:K over that span. Ramos is up to a .314/.400/.529 slash line with seven long balls, 27 RBI, 14 runs scored and one stolen base over 140 plate appearances this season. He initially worked in the corner outfield spots, but the 24-year-old has started the last seven games in center field as he continues to solidify his place in the majors.

  • Rips three extra-base hits
    Moniak went 3-for-5 with a triple, two doubles, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 8-6 win over the Giants.

    Advice: Moniak supplied a two-run double in the third inning. He's hit safely in six straight games, going 8-for-19 (.421) with five RBI, four walks and two stolen bases in that span. Kevin Pillar has been excellent since joining the Angels in May, but he'd been platooning with Moniak until recently. With Taylor Ward slumping and potentially on the trade block, there could be room for Pillar in left field and Moniak in center, though the latter will have to keep hitting to maintain playing time. Moniak is slashing .192/.241/.282 with two home runs, six doubles, one triple, 14 RBI, 15 runs scored and four steals over 166 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:07 pm
     
  • Heliot Ramos hits three-run homer in loss to LAA
    Heliot Ramos hit a three-run homer and reached four times in a loss to the Angels on Friday.

    Advice: In addition to the three-run homer, Ramos also singled and drew a pair of walks. The 24-year-old has been outstanding in 2024 after struggling in his limited MLB chances in the past, and the four-reach game has him slashing .314/.400/.529 in 121 at-bats. It’s time to take Ramos seriously, if you needed any convincing. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:17 pm
