    • Taking seat against lefty
      Melendez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: After starting in each of the Royals' last four games while the opposition brought right-handed starters to the hill for every contest, the lefty-hitting Melendez will exit the lineup while southpaw Carlos Rodon takes the hill for the Yankees. Melendez has logged just 33 plate appearances versus lefties this season and is slashing .156/.182/.156 in those matchups. Rotowire.com Today, 1:28 pm

    • Absent from lineup
      Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Rockies.

      Advice: He and Christian Vazquez have now alternated starts at catcher over the last seven games for the Twins. Jeffers has slowed down considerably in June with just two hits in his first 22 plate appearances, so perhaps the extra rest will help recharge his batteries. Rotowire.com Today, 12:40 pm
       
    • Tie-breaking hit in extras Sunday
      Rodriguez went 2-for-5 with an RBI single, a double and a run in an extra-inning win over the Royals on Sunday.

      Advice: Rodriguez followed up his sixth double of the season with a clutch single in the 10th, snapping a 3-3 tie by driving in Josh Rojas. Rodriguez still has plenty of ground to make up in terms of his power production, but he's now hit safely in 14 of the last 15 games while producing a .328 average and .881 OPS across 63 plate appearances.

    • Homers in blowout loss
      Profar went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Profar took Tommy Henry deep in the third inning for his second home run over his last three games. Since May 28, the switch hitter has racked up five multi-hit performances while slashing .349/.431/.605 with three homers, 11 RBI, six runs and a 6:9 BB:K in 50 plate appearances. The 31-year-old continues to be one of the toughest outs at the plate in all of baseball, as his .325 average currently ranks second in the league. Rotowire.com Today, 6:52 am
       
    • Timely hit against Twins
      Joe went 1-for-5 with a triple and two RBI on Sunday against the Twins.

      Advice: Joe delivered his lone hit of the game in the fifth inning to give the Pirates a brief lead. He has five RBI and seven runs scored across his last 10 games, though that production has primarily come due to timely hitting as he is just 7-for-38 overall in that span. Joe remains a near everyday player for Pittsburgh, playing primarily in right field against right-handed pitching while shifting to first base against lefties. Rotowire.com Today, 6:42 am

    • Homers in extra-inning loss
      Melendez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss versus the Mariners.

      Advice: Melendez has just three hits over his last 10 games, but all of them have been homers. His blast Sunday tied the game at 3-3 in the ninth inning. Melendez is up to seven homers this season, but he's taken a step back overall with a .165/.228/.346 slash line through 197 plate appearances on the year. He's added 19 RBI, 17 runs scored and two stolen bases, and he's still seeing a majority of the playing time in left field despite his poor hitting. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:20 pm

    • MJ Melendez hits game-tying homer in ninth
      MJ Melendez hit a game-tying two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth Sunday against the Royals.

      Advice: Melendez also had a two-run homer as part of a four-RBI game Friday. He’d seem to be in desperate need of the surge, though really, we’d argue that the Royals should have sent him down weeks ago. That’s not to say that he can’t turn things around in the majors — maybe he’s starting to do so — but he’s batting .165 and hasn’t had a multi-hit game since May 10. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:22 pm

    • Jurickson Profar leaves the yard in loss Sunday
      Jurickson Profar socked his 10th dinger of the season on Sunday afternoon in a lopsided loss to the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: The 31-year-old outfielder continued his hot-hitting ways, crushing a 384-foot (102.5 mph EV) solo shot off of Tommy Henry in the third inning, pulling the Padres to within four runs at 7-3. That would be as close as they would get. Profar also singled in the contest, finishing the afternoon 2-for-4. He’s now slashing an unbelievable .325/.420/.504 with 10 homers, 43 RBI and four stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:21 pm
       
    • Reaches base four times
      Correa went 3-for-5 with a walk, two runs scored and two RBI in Sunday's 11-5 win over the Pirates.

      Advice: Correa plated two on a 10th-inning single, scoring later in the frame to cap off a seven-run inning for the Twins. The 29-year-old notched his third multi-hit effort over his past four games, reaching base four times in Sunday's win. Correa owns a solid .265/.335/.441 slash line, but he has provided limited power with just five home runs and 26 RBI in 47 games played. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:03 pm
