  • Santiago Espinal fans three times in defeat
    Santiago Espinal went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts versus the Padres on Tuesday.

    Advice: Remember when Espinal made the AL All-Star team a couple of years ago? It turns out that he’s really not that good. It’s something people knew at the time, but Jose Altuve bailed because he didn’t want to be booed and, thanks to MLB and the players’ vote, the first man in was the guy who had 2 1/2 months of decent stats instead of the actual quality middle infielders. Espinal is batting .185/.240/.246 this season, and he might find himself in the minors if the Reds get Noelvi Marte and Matt McLain back in the second half. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago

  • Launches third homer
    Joe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Oakland.

    Advice: Joe tagged Alex Wood for a solo shot in the first inning, marking his third long ball in 100 plate appearances this season. He's on pace to exceed his career-high home run total of 11, which he achieved in 472 plate appearances last season. During his last five games, Joe is batting 6-for-19 (.316) with a pair of doubles and Tuesday's home run. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Swats three-run homer
    Naylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 10-9 loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Naylor launched his seventh home run of the campaign and scored multiple times for the second time this season. Even with Naylor's long ball, he's batting 3-for-22 (.136) over his last six games. However, he's added a pair of stolen bases and has struck out four times to three walks during that stretch.

  • White Sox outright Zach Remillard to Triple-A
    White Sox sent INF Zach Remillard outright to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Remillard went unclaimed on waivers and will likely wind up sticking around with the White Sox as extra organizational depth after being removed earlier this week from the club’s 40-man roster. Rotoworld Today, 9:11 pm

  • Bregman hits first homer of season vs. Guardians
    Alex Bregman went 1-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Guardians.

    Advice: The Astros found themselves down 3-0 after the first inning, but Bregman’s 426-foot blast, which marked his first homer of the season, drew things even at 3-3. It’s been a slow start to the season for Bregman, who entered the day slashing .216/.287/.268. He’s hit safely in four of his last five games and could be on the verge of finally heating up. Getting that first home run out of the way is hopefully a step in the right direction. Rotoworld Today, 8:45 pm
     
  • Mendick homers, drives in two in loss to Twins
    Danny Mendick went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the White Sox’ loss to the Twins.



    Advice: Mendick blasted his first homer of the season into left field to score Andrew Benintendi and give the White Sox a 4-2 lead. It was a rare, brief display of power from Mendick, who entered the day with 11 career home runs in seven seasons. He’s riding a three-game hit streak but can be left on waivers at this time.

  • Nabs second steal
    Morel went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Mets.

    Advice: The steal was his second of the season, and both pilfers have come in his last eight contests. Morel is struggling to get going with his bat however, and through 29 games he's slashing a meager .215/.292/.374 with four homers, 14 RBI and 17 runs. Rotowire.com Today, 7:46 pm

  • Vidal Bruján has two hits in win over Rockies
    Vidal Bruján went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Advice: Bruján has now started four of the last five games for the Marlins, playing either third base or shortstop. While his defense has been questionable, he’s slashing .275/.341/.400 on the season. He continues to make an elite amount of contact, as he always did in the minors, and could be useful in deeper fantasy leagues if he were to secure every day playing time. Rotoworld Today, 7:41 pm

  • McMahon has three hits in loss to Miami
    Ryan McMahon went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in a loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.

    Advice: McMahon roped a 100.6 mph double and a 97.5 mph single on the day and continues to swing the bat well this season. He’s slashing .321/.397/.495 on the year and now has 18 RBI. The Rockies lineup may not be great, but McMahon is doing more than enough to warrant being in fantasy lineups every week. Rotoworld Today, 7:38 pm
