    • Goes deep off bench
      Naylor went 1-for-2 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 5-4 win over the Giants.

      Advice: Naylor didn't start the contest, but he pinch hit for Austin Hedges with two on and two outs in the sixth inning. That proved to be a smart move from manager Stephen Vogt, as Naylor delivered a go-ahead homer, his first long ball since June 22. The catcher hasn't flashed a ton of power this year with five homers and a .338 slugging percentage over 64 contests. He's added two stolen bases, 23 RBI, 23 runs scored, nine doubles and a triple while batting .205 on the season. Despite going hitless in seven of his last 11 games, he continues to see a majority of playing time behind the plate. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:15 pm

    • Picks up seventh steal
      Burleson went 2-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Nationals.

      Advice: Burleson has picked up multiple hits in three of his last six games. He's also stolen two bases in his last three games and five over his last 15. The 25-year-old's impressive first half has been a key factor in the Cardinals turnaround as he's settled into the second spot in the lineup. Burleson is hitting .281/.318/.455 with 13 home runs and 42 RBI over 82 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:37 pm

    • Grabs one-out save
      Neris struck out the only batter he faced to earn the save in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Angels.

      Advice: Neris was credited with the save after Luke Little loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth inning. Neris struck out Zach Neto on four pitches to end the threat. This is the second stretch of the season where Neris has avoided giving up a run over five consecutive appearances, with this scoreless streak at 4.1 innings. He has a 9:2 K:BB in that span, and for the season, the closer is up to 12 saves with a 4.06 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 33:22 K:BB across 31 innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:18 pm
       
    • Héctor Neris gets one-out save versus Angels
      Héctor Neris struck out the only batter he faced for a save in a 5-0 game against the Angels on Sunday.

      Advice: Luke Little retired the first two batters in the ninth, only to give up two infield singles and a walk afterwards. That created the save chance for Neris, and Neris fanned Zach Neto to end the game. After an ugly run in mid-June, he’s struck out nine and picked up two saves and a win in 4 1/3 innings over his last five appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:12 pm
       
    • Naylor has huge pinch-hit home run
      Bo Naylor went 1-for-2 with a pinch-hit three-run home run in a win over the Giants on Sunday.

      Advice: Naylor was called on to hit for Austin Hedges in the sixth inning with the Guardians trailing 3-2. He responded with a 378-foot home run that gave the Guardians a lead they would never give up. The 24-year-old is hitting just .205 on the season with five home runs, so he’ll need to do this a little more often to get back on the fantasy radar. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:52 pm

    • Homers, swipes bag in win
      Kelenic went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer, a walk and two strikeouts in Sunday's win over the Phillies

      Advice: Kelenic was one of three Atlanta hitters to go deep off rookie Michael Mercado in the second inning. The 24-year-old continues to be a revelation for Atlanta since they started giving him regular playing time. Kelenic hit his 10th home run of the season, and all have come in his last 49 games. He's hitting .277/.313/.500 with 25 RBI and four stolen bases in that span, and he should continue hitting leadoff with Ronald Acuna (knee) out for the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:21 pm
       
    • Jarred Kelenic with another homer
      Jarred Kelenic went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, a walk, and a stolen base on Sunday against the Phillies.

      Advice: Kelenic has been a revelation since being inserted as the Braves’ lead-off hitter. He’s batting .298 with six homers, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored, and three stolen bases in 21 games as the lead-off man. On the season, his OPS is .772 which would be higher than that of any player on the Mariners. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:17 pm
       
    • On track for activation Tuesday
      Phillies manager Rob Thomson confirmed Sunday that Schwarber (groin) will be activated from the 10-day injured list prior to Tuesday's series opener versus the Dodgers, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: After running on the field at approximately 90 percent intensity Saturday, Schwarber cleared the final hurdle in his recovery from a left groin strain by sprinting at full speed during a pregame workout Sunday. The Phillies apparently feel comfortable enough with Schwarber's health to let him return from the IL without heading out on a rehab assignment beforehand. Schwarber has made just three of his 78 starts in left field this season, and the Phillies will most likely deploy him strictly as a designated hitter during the upcoming week to lessen the possibility of a setback with the groin heading into the All-Star break. The 31-year-old's upcoming return will presumably result in fewer opportunities for David Dahl. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:05 pm

    • Taking seat Sunday
      Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: Jeffers has moved into a timeshare with Christian Vazquez, as neither of the two has started consecutive games since Jeffers served as a designated hitter June 1 in Houston before working behind the plate a day later in the series finale. It'll be Vazquez's turn to catch Sunday after Jeffers went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 9-3 win. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:58 am
