  • Jarred Kelenic homers in win
    Jarred Kelenic went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI on Sunday against the Yankees.

    Advice: Kelenic has turned himself into a bit of an engine atop the Braves’ lineup. He has a hit in all eight games he’s led-off and is 11-for-36 overall there. His homer got the Braves’ offense going and a fifth inning sac fly gave them some needed insurance. Most notably, Atlanta felt comfortable with him there against lefty Nestor Cortes. There’s a mild breakout happening here spurned by opportunity. Rotoworld 7 minutes ago
     
  • Stanton diagnosed with mild hamstring strain
    Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone said after Sunday’s game that Giancarlo Stanton was diagnosed with a mild left hamstring strain.

    Advice: The 34-year-old slugger is still going to miss at least 10 days while on the injured list, but there’s optimism that he shouldn’t require much longer of an absence than that. In 69 games on the season, Stanton has hit a respectable .246/.302/.492 with 18 homers and 45 RBI. Rotoworld 7 minutes ago

  • Starling Marte out Sunday with ongoing knee issue
    Starling Marte (knee) is not in the lineup for Sunday night’s showdown against the Cubs.

    Advice: New York’s front office hasn’t made a roster move yet, so it doesn’t sound like Marte is ticketed for the injured list after leaving Saturday’s game with right knee soreness. The 35-year-old veteran outfielder will get some extra time off to rest and recover from the lingering issue and is presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
     
  • Battling elbow inflammation
    Fry was removed from Sunday's game against Toronto due to right elbow inflammation, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Fry ripped an RBI single during the first inning of Sunday's contest before being replaced behind the plate by Bo Naylor in the third. The Guardians are currently viewing Fry as day-to-day, though he will likely undergo further testing to determine the extent of his injury. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago

  • Plates two in consecutive games
    Dahl went 2-for-4 with two RBI Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Dahl started his first game since Wednesday and contributed two hits, including a two-run knock in the sixth that provided the Phillies with all the insurance they would need. This follows a performance Saturday that saw him come off the bench to launch a two-run blast, his third since making his first appearance of the season on June 3. Through 13 games (10 starts) and 39 at-bats, Dahl is batting .231 with three homers, seven RBI and five runs scored. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago

  • David Fry leaves game with elbow inflammation
    David Fry was removed from Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays due to right elbow inflammation.

    Advice: The positive news here is that Fry’s early exit isn’t related to a possible head injury or concussion. The bad news is that he’s probably going to be sent for some further evaluation and imaging to determine the extent of the issue. The 28-year-old backstop has been an unexpected revelation this season for fantasy managers, so the hope here is that his exit was merely for precautionary reasons. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 12:09 pm

  • David Fry leaves game Sunday with possible injury
    David Fry made an early exit from Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays with a potential injury.

    Advice: MLB.com’s Henry Palattella adds that Fry was apparently struck in the head by a practice swing from Danny Jansen in the opening frame, so it’s highly likely he’s been lifted from the contest for precautinary reasons to undergo testing for a possible concussion. There should be an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Today, 11:34 am

  • David Dahl knocks in two in Phillies’ victory
    David Dahl went 2-for-4 with two RBI against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

    Advice: Dahl broke a 1-0 game open in the sixth after an odd balk from Justin Martinez advanced an additional runner into scoring position. Dahl also homered as a pinch-hitter in Saturday’s rout. Prior to that, he’d been in a 2-for-28 rut after a strong first three games with the Phillies. He’ll continue to start in left field against righties for now. Rotoworld Today, 11:33 am

  • Sitting third straight
    Kepler (neck) isn't in the Twins' lineup for Sunday's game against Oakland.

    Advice: Neck spasms will cause Kepler to miss his third game in a row Sunday, though he still doesn't seem to be trending toward a trip to the injured list. Manuel Margot will pick up another start in right field and bat leadoff. Rotowire.com Today, 11:25 am
