  • Mickey Moniak’s first grand slam propels Angels
    Mickey Moniak hit his first career grand slam Tuesday to lead the Angels past the A’s 7-5.

    Advice: Moniak’s slam was a homer in only six ballparks, says Statcast, but that was mostly because of its low trajectory; Moniak crushed the pitch, which left his bat at 107.9 mph. He’s earned himself some extra playing time by hitting .254/.333/.475 in 66 plate appearances this month. He came in at just .169/.208/.242 over the first two months. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:39 pm

  • Jake Meyers has three-hit night vs. Rockies
    Jake Meyers went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Meyers was responsible for three of the Astros’ nine hits on the night and was part of the team’s five-run first inning. Meyers singled in the first to drive in Yordan Alvarez from second and later came around to score himself. Despite the strong night, Meyers is hitting just .203 on the month but has a slash line of .260/.302/.392 on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:10 pm
     
  • Harrison Bader has two hits, HR in win
    Harrison Bader went 2-for-4 with a home run, a steal, and two runs scored in a win over the Yankees on Tuesday.

    Advice: Bader’s home run was a 419-foot shot for his fifth of the season, and the stolen base was his 11th of the year. Bader has been playing regularly as the Mets’ starting center fielder and should continue to see regular at-bats with Starling Marte now out for at least a month. Bader is hitting .272 on the year and has always had enough power and speed to be fantasy-relevant when healthy. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:45 pm
     
  • Aaron Judge hits grand slam in loss
    Aaron Judge went 2-for-3 with a walk and five RBI in a loss to the Mets on Tuesday.

    Advice: Judge had an RBI double in the seventh inning with the Yankees down by seven but then crushed a 390-foot grand slam at 109.4 mph that brought the Yankees within two. While the bottom of the Yankees lineup may not be particularly deep, they still have Aaron Judge, which will always make them a threat. The big right fielder now has 29 home runs and 75 RBI already this season, which seems like video game numbers. You’re feeling great if you were able to take him with your first-round pick.

  • Bryan Reynolds homers in win
    Bryan Reynolds went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in a 9-5 win over the Reds on Sunday.

    Advice: Reynolds homered off Hunter Greene in the first inning in an at-bat that started with Greene puking on the mound. Reynolds later crushed a 426-foot shot at 106.3 mph for his 13th home run of the season to go along with 46 RBI and a .280/.347/.475 slash line. It’s been another solid season for the underrated outfielder. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:32 pm

  • Alek Thomas (hamstring) resumes rehab assignment
    Alek Thomas (hamstring) will resume a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: Thomas hit pause on his rehab assignment last week after experiencing some renewed hamstring soreness, but he’s apparently feeling well enough to get back into game action already. The 24-year-old had been out since late March due to a hamstring strain and several setbacks along the way during his rehabilitation process. However, he appears to be on track to return at some point in early July. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:12 pm

  • Back in action Tuesday
    Benson (elbow) is starting in left field and batting eighth Tuesday against the Pirates.

    Advice: The 26-year-old sat out Monday after being hit by a pitch in the left elbow Sunday, but X-rays came back negative and he's back in the lineup Tuesday. Benson has slumped hard in June with a .442 OPS, and he's 0-for-21 over his past nine contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:14 pm

  • Bryan Reynolds pushes hit streak to 21 straight
    Bryan Reynolds extended his hitting streak to 21 consecutive games on Monday in the Pirates’ loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Reynolds went 2-for-4 with an RBI and also drew a walk, reaching base safely in three of his five plate appearances in a one-sided affair. The 29-year-old outfielder is batting .315 (39-for-124) with seven homers and one steal over his last 30 games. Rotoworld Monday, 7:18 pm

  • Rejoining starting nine Monday
    Isbel (back) will start in center field and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Isbel will move back into the starting nine after a tight back kept him out of the lineup for the final two contests of the Royals' weekend series versus the Rangers. Garrett Hampson and Dairon Blanco both picked up one start apiece in center field while Isbel was on the bench. Rotowire.com Monday, 4:02 pm
