  • Nick Gordon scores game-winning run vs. Royals
    Nick Gordon went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Royals.

    Advice: Gordon’s RBI single in the seventh inning tied the game at 1-1, giving the Marlins life after being shut down by Seth Lugo for six innings. Gordon’s single paved the way for him to later score on an RBI single by Jazz Chisholm, which was enough for the Marlins to earn a surprise win over the Royals. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago

  • Ortiz homers to lift Brewers over Rangers
    Joey Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday’s win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Ortiz hit his seventh homer of the season into the left field stands to give the Brewers a 2-1 lead in the fifth. Ortiz has now hit safely in three of his last five games and is slashing .257/.373/.371 in June with four extra-base hits and eight RBI. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago

  • Nick Gonzales has three hits in win
    Nick Gonzales went 3-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in a win over the Reds on Tuesday.

    Advice: It was a much-needed strong game for Gonzales, who came into today hitting just .224 in 20 games in June. The 25-year-old is still barreling the ball 11 percent in 2024 but his groundball rate has gone up to 52 percent in June and he’s pulling the ball more, which has led to more rollover groundballs and fewer line drives all over the field. He remains a consistent part of the Pirates lineup but more games like this would be nice to see. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago

  • Taylor Walls has three hits in win
    Taylor Walls went 3-for-4 with a run and two RBI in a win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

    Advice: Walls is now up to a robust .175/.277/.250 slash line since coming off the IL on June 7th. Still, the Rays continue to start him almost every game at shortstop due to his plus defense. Walls will likely never hit enough to be in fantasy lineups, but his presence in the Tampa Bay lineup will put a damper on the fantasy value of Brandon Lowe and Jose Caballero, who are splitting time at second base as a result.

  • Sitting against lefty
    Black isn't in the Brewers' lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Black will take a seat Tuesday as the Rangers prepare to send left-hander Andrew Heaney to the mound. Rhys Hoskins will start at first base while Gary Sanchez works as Milwaukee's designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 3:14 pm

  • Sitting again Tuesday
    Drury (illness) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Drury was scratched from the lineup Friday against the Dodgers due to the illness, and his absence will extend to four games Tuesday. The 31-year-old was reportedly available to pinch hit Monday but wasn't utilized off the bench. Drury should continue to be considered day-to-day while Luis Guillorme receives a start at second base.

  • Optioned to Salt Lake
    The Angels optioned Stefanic to Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

    Advice: Stefanic will be squeezed off the big-league roster Tuesday following the return of Miguel Sano (knee) from the injured list. The 28-year-old Stefanic has struggled to establish himself at the plate in 10 MLB games this season, going just 6-for-31 (.194) with four RBI, though he has been able to find success in the minors. He could be a candidate to return later this summer if the Angels run into any more problems with their infield depth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:59 pm
     
  • Brandon Drury out fifth straight game due to illness
    Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Drury has managed to somehow avoid a trip to the injured list, but he remains out of Los Angeles’ lineup for the fifth consecutive contest due to an ongoing battle with a respiratory virus. It’ll be defensive ace Luis Guillorme filling in at the keystone in his ongoing absence. Rotoworld Today, 2:40 pm

  • Angels option Michael Stefanic to Triple-A
    Angels optioned INF Michael Stefanic to Triple-A Salt Lake.

    Advice: Stefanic has been shipped back to the minors to free up an active roster spot for Miguel Sanó to return from the injured list. The 28-year-old infielder’s stellar minor-league numbers haven’t translated to the highest level over the last few years as he holds a .601 OPS with zero homers in 175 plate appearances over 60 games for Los Angeles since 2022.
