  • Dealing with wrist injury
    Kim was hit by a pitch on his left wrist in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Kim took a 94 mph fastball from Walker Buehler off his left wrist in the bottom of the fourth inning, ultimately exiting the contest the following frame. The infielder underwent X-rays on his arm following the contest that came back negative, according to manager Mike Shildt, which bodes well for Kim moving forward. The 28-year-old can be considered day-to-day for the time being ahead of San Diego's three-game series with the Rockies at home beginning Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 4:16 pm

  • Mauricio Dubón collects four hits in victory
    Mauricio Dubón finished 4-for-5 with an RBI against the Tigers on Sunday.

    Advice: Dubón pushed his average back up to .303 while filling in for Jose Altuve today. That comes with just a .330 OBP and a .416 slugging, but, obviously, when he’s hitting .300, he’s a fine player. The Astros will keep squeezing him into the lineup, probably at the expense of Jake Meyers and Joey Loperfido. Rotoworld Today, 3:03 pm

  • Rafaela drives in two runs in win over Nationals
    Ceddanne Rafaela went 1-for-3 with two RBI in a win over the Nationals on Sunday.

    Advice: Rafaela had a ground rule double off of MacKenzie Gore in the second inning and is now up to 22 RBI on the season. The season-long stats don’t look great, but he’s 10-for-34 in May, which is a .323 average. The bigger issue for him is he has 11 strikeouts to just one walk over the same timeframe, which highlights some of the concerns with his profile right now. Still, the 23-year-old figures to play every day for the Red Sox and has the power and speed to remain a useful fantasy play in deeper formats. Rotoworld Today, 2:51 pm
