    • Adley Rutschman leading off Sunday vs. southpaw
      Adley Rutschman is leading off on Sunday against the Astros.

      Advice: Rutschman has been bumped up to the leadoff spot for the first time all season on Sunday afternoon with southpaw Framber Valdez toeing the rubber for Houston. Gunnar Henderson has compiled solid numbers this season against left-handed pitching and will bat cleanup in this one. Rotoworld Today, 8:31 am
       
    • Reinstated off IL, starting Sunday
      The White Sox reinstated Jimenez (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Sunday.

      Advice: Jimenez will serve as the designated hitter and bat third for Sunday's series finale against the Tigers. Jimenez strained his left hamstring while scoring from second base against the Blue Jays on May 21, prompting his placement on the injured list one day later. In his rehab assignment, he went 8-for-18 with one double, one home run and five RBI in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League. Jimenez is slashing .231/.288/.381 with five home runs and 12 RBI over 146 plate appearances this season, though the 27-year-old was in the midst of a five-game hitting streak prior to his injury.

    • Fans eight in no-decision
      Parker did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Rockies on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over six innings while striking out eight.

      Advice: All four runs against Parker came over the first three innings, topped off by a three-run blast from Brendan Rodgers. However, the right-hander would go on to finish strong, striking out the side in the sixth and fanning six of the final 12 batters he faced on the night. Parker matched his season high with eight strikeouts in the contest and he's now gone at least six innings in three of his last four starts, posting a 15:5 K:BB over that stretch.

    • White Sox activate Eloy Jiménez for Sunday return
      White Sox activated OF Eloy Jiménez from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Jiménez returns to Chicago’s lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Tigers following a nearly five-week absence recovering from a left hamstring strain. The oft-injured 27-year-old slugger has been snakebitten this physical ailments this season and has struggled to a pedestrian .668 OPS with five homers and three steals in 36 contests.

    • Stuck with loss Saturday
      Eflin (3-5) took the loss Saturday as the Rays were downed 4-3 by the Pirates, giving up four runs on five hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out six.

      Advice: Pittsburgh stung the right-hander for a run in the first inning and three more in the third, and while Eflin settled in after that, the Tampa Bay offense wasn't able to put together a comeback. Eflin's last quality start came May 7, and in six outings since then, he's stumbled to a 4.86 ERA despite a 1.17 WHIP and 24:2 K:BB in 33.1 innings. He'll look to turn things around in his next start, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Nationals. Rotowire.com Today, 5:52 am
       
    • Jalen Beeks gets win in relief vs. Nationals
      Jalen Beeks fired 1 1/3 scoreless innings on Saturday to record a win in relief against the Nationals.

      Advice: Beeks came on to record the final out of the eighth inning with the Rockies trailing by two runs at the time before coming out to spin a flawless ninth inning as well. Colorado’s lineup responded with a pair of runs in the bottom of the frame to give the veteran southpaw his fourth victory of the season. The 30-year-old lefty has excelled this year in his Rockies debut with six saves to accompany a serviceable 3.38 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 29/16 K/BB ratio across 37 1/3 innings (33 appearances).

    • Mitchell Parker whiffs eight in no-decision
      Mitchell Parker allowed four runs over six innings on Saturday in a no-decision against the Rockies.

      Advice: The positive news here is that Parker notched eight strikeouts and managed to somewhat survive Coors Field’s high-octane offensive environment. He gave up six hits, including a three-run homer to Brendan Rodgers, which accounted for most of the damage against him in this one. He’s been a nice waiver wire addition for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues and will bring a respectable 3.30 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 58/17 K/BB ratio across 73 2/3 innings (13 starts) into a road tilt on Friday against the Rays.

    • Belts two-run blast
      Steer went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to Boston on Saturday.

      Advice: Steer gave the Reds an early lead with his two-run shot to left field in the first inning. It was his ninth long ball of the season and his third through 19 contests in June. Steer is slashing .234/.326/.401 with 45 RBI, 33 runs and 12 stolen bases on the campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:09 pm

    • Accounts for lone run in loss
      Westburg went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Astros.

      Advice: Westburg opened the scoring in the second inning, but that was the extent of the Orioles' run production. The team had just four hits, and Westburg struck out in his other three at-bats. He's been solid lately, going 15-for-53 (.283) over his last 13 contests with nine extra-base hits in that span, though he's also struck out 15 times. The infielder has a .277/.331/.506 slash line with 12 homers, 44 RBI, 39 runs scored and six steals through 70 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:13 pm
