  • Corey Julks tallies one steal, two RBI vs. Jays
    Corey Julks went 1-for-3 with two RBI and a steal in Tuesday’s win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Julks laced a two-RBI single in the fifth inning off Yusei Kikuchi to give the White Sox a 3-0 lead, and has now hit safely in three of his first four games this season. Julks was called up from Triple-A Charlotte last week after the White Sox acquired him in a trade just days before. Julks has now homered and driven in three runs, and should continue getting opportunities as long as he stays hot. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
     
  • Eloy Jiménez leaves game with hamstring strain
    Eloy Jiménez was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Blue Jays with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Not good. Jiménez is currently in the midst of an extended offensive slump and will almost certainly wind up requiring a trip to the injured list. The oft-injured 27-year-old outfielder simply hasn’t been able to stay on the field the last few years, which diminishes his appeal for fantasy managers, despite his immense talent. There should be an update regarding the severity of the injury at some point in the near future after he undergoes some additional imaging. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago

  • Exits with hamstring injury
    Jimenez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Jimenez appeared to be limping after scoring from second base during the fifth inning of Tuesday's contest, and Gavin Sheets later replaced him as Chicago's DH during the seventh. The severity of Jimenez's injury remains unclear, but the White Sox will take a closer look at him and should offer more information on his status after the game. Rotowire.com Today, 5:56 pm

  • X-rays negative
    X-rays on Fraley's right hand came back negative Tuesday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Fraley is reportedly dealing with swelling after taking a pitch off his hand during the first inning of Tuesday's contest, but he seems to have avoided a serious injury. The Reds will re-evaluate his hand Wednesday, but it's likely the 28-year-old outfielder sits out a game or two in order to recover. Rotowire.com Today, 5:28 pm

  • X-rays negative on Jake Fraley’s right hand
    X-rays came back negative on Jake Fraley’s right hand.

    Advice: The positive news here is that Fraley didn’t suffer a fracture when he was hit by a pitch on the right hand during Tuesday’s game against the Padres. The 28-year-old is dealing with some inflammation and will be re-evaluated on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 5:25 pm

  • Jake Fraley exits Tuesday following hit by pitch
    Jake Fraley was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Padres after being hit by a pitch.

    Advice: Fraley was hit by a pitch on the right wrist area in the opening frame and wound up leaving the contest shortly afterwards. He’s presumably headed for X-rays to determine the severity of the injury. There should be an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Today, 4:23 pm

    Benintendi is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Benintendi is 3-for-20 over his past six games and will sit Tuesday as southpaw Yusei Kikuchi takes the mound for Toronto. Zach Remillard will handle left field and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 3:48 pm
