  • Victor Scott II steals base Tuesday at Triple-A
    Cardinals OF prospect Victor Scott II went 1-for-5 with an RBI and also stole a base on Tuesday for Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: Scott hasn’t exactly set the world on fire since being demoted back to the minors in late April, but he’s started to get going on the basepaths recently. The 23-year-old speedster is up to three thefts in just six games. It was probably too aggressive from a development standpoint to start Scott in the majors this season, as he simply wasn’t ready to play everyday at the highest level just yet, but he’s going to make a significant impact for fantasy managers in the future once he’s gotten some additional seasoning.

  • Dylan Carlson walks twice Tuesday in rehab game
    Dylan Carlson (shoulder) walked twice on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: Carlson will likely require a handful of rehab contests before rejoining St. Louis’ outfield mix at some point in the next week or so. The 25-year-old was at designated hitter in his rehab debut and should get back into center field at some point this week. He’s been out since spring training recovering from a left shoulder sprain that he suffered during an on-field collision. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago

  • Scores twice in loss
    Siri went 1-for-2 with an RBI, two runs scored and was hit by a pitch during Tuesday's loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: Siri homered off Freddy Peralta in the third inning to get the Rays on the scoreboard and was hit by a pitch during his next at-bat in the fifth frame, resulting in Peralta's ejection. He came around to score in the fifth but was later ejected himself after getting into a fight with Brewers reliever Abner Uribe in the eighth inning. Despite being the most productive member of the Rays' lineup Tuesday, Siri is still slashing just .186/.276/.302 and has struck out in 41 of his 86 at-bats this season, giving him extremely little fantasy value even in the deepest of leagues.

  • Lifts game-tying homer
    Florial went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 10-9 extra-inning loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Florial's sixth-inning blast tied the game at 8-8. It was his third homer of the year and his first to come against a team other than the Yankees. Florial's playing time has been slipping recently, mostly as a product of David Fry working his way into the lineup more frequently. The right-handed Fry, a natural catcher, will occasionally serve as the designated hitter or push one of the Guardians' regulars into that spot at Florial's expense. For the year, Florial is batting just .229 with an .827 OPS through 56 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:53 pm
     
  • Johan Rojas delivers ninth-inning homer in victory
    Johan Rojas hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth to lead the Phillies past the Angels 7-5 on Tuesday.

    Advice: Nick Castellanos had already tied the game with a solo shot before Rojas provided the difference maker. It was Rojas’s first homer in 91 plate appearances this season. Fortunately, he’s continued to play his usual excellent defense, and Whit Merrifield hasn’t been able to force his way into the lineup. Rojas isn’t a mixed-league guy right now, but with his ability to steal bases, he doesn’t need to be all that much better offensively to get to that kind of level. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:34 pm
     
  • JJ Bleday homers twice in Oakland’s victory
    JJ Bleday delivered his second and third homers of the year Tuesday as the A’s topped the Pirates 5-2.

    Advice: Bleday’s best game of the season saw him launch balls 417 and 399 feet and improve his season line to .243/.304/.417. He’s not consistently hitting the ball hard enough to inspire a ton of faith, but he’s Oakland’s best center field option for now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:38 pm

  • Lawrence Butler strikes out four times
    Leading off for the second time this season, Lawrence Butler struck out all four times he was up Tuesday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Those was four of Oakland’s nine strikeouts on the night. Boasting excellent exit velocity numbers, Butler’s xStats are far better than his current .195/.305/.325 line. and he might be somewhat interesting on another team. He might be a 2025 sleeper once the A’s move into a ballpark that’s quite a bit friendlier to hitters. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:38 pm
     
  • Swats two homers
    Bleday went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Bleday went yard twice for the first time in his career Tuesday, tagging Mitch Keller for a solo shot in the fifth and Josh Fleming for a two-run homer in the seventh for his second and third long balls of the campaign. The contest was Bleday's first multi-hit game since Apr. 14. However, he's racked up an extra-base hit in seven of his last nine contests with six walks and five strikeouts during that stretch.

  • Tauchman has two hits in loss to Mets
    Mike Tauchman went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in a loss to the Mets.

    Advice: Tauchman had the Cubs’ only extra-base hit of the night and is now slashing .307/.435/.530 on the season. Perhaps more importantly, he was in the lineup and hitting sixth with a left-handed pitcher on the mound, which suggests that he’ll be an everyday player for the Cubs while Cody Bellinger and Seiya Suzuki are sidelined. That makes him worth a short-term add in most formats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:28 pm
