    • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. goes 0-for-4 in loss to Reds
      Lourdes Gurriel Jr. went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Reds on Tuesday.

      Advice: Gurriel got off to a really fast start and still posted decent run and RBI numbers for a while after that concluded, but he’s been a mess lately; he’s batting just .160 with no homers and three RBI in his last 19 games. On the plus side, his strikeout rate is fine and Statcast thinks he’s been fairly unlucky to date. He figures to retain some mixed-league value going forward. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:52 pm
       
    • Byron Buxton (knee) starting rehab assignment
      Byron Buxton (knee) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Wednesday with Triple-A St. Paul.

      Advice: Buxton should be ready to return to Minnesota’s lineup at some point later this week after getting into a couple rehab contests. The 30-year-old center fielder has been out since early May due to right knee inflammation. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:20 pm

    • Byron Buxton (knee) nearing rehab assignment
      Byron Buxton (knee) is close to starting a minor league rehab assignment.

      Advice: Twins manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters Buxton will test out his right knee on Tuesday at Target Field before the club determines whether he’s ready to head out on a rehab assignment. The 30-year-old center fielder landed on the injured list back in early May with right knee inflammation and figures to be back before the end of the month. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:44 pm

    • Rehab games required
      Buxton (knee) will play in some minor-league rehab games before being activated, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reported Tuesday.

      Advice: It was previously thought that Buxton could've been activated Tuesday; however, he'll get some minor league at-bats before being reinstated. The rehab stint should be rather brief, so fantasy managers can expect Buxton to be back within the next week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:43 pm

    • Ronald Acuña Jr. plates run in victory over Cubs
      Ronald Acuña Jr. went 1-for-3 with an RBI on Monday, leading the Braves to a 2-0 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Acuña extended Atlanta’s lead with a sixth-inning RBI single off Cubs reliever Hayden Wesneski with two outs in the frame after being picked off first base on a pair of occasions by Chicago starter Shota Imanaga earlier in the contest. The 26-year-old fantasy superstar has gotten it going at the dish of late, batting .275 (11-for-40) with two homers and one steal in 10 games since the start of May. Rotoworld Monday, 7:46 pm
       
    • Nearing rehab stint
      Jones (back) will join Triple-A Albuquerque on Tuesday but will not immediately begin a rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Jones is traveling to Albuquerque with Kris Bryant (back), but he's behind his teammate in his recovery process. He'll continue to ramp up his activity prior to appearing in games, but the Rockies hope he'll be ready to return from the 10-day injured list by late May. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:14 am

    • Could be activated Tuesday
      Buxton (knee) ran the bases at Target Field on Saturday, and the Twins are optimistic he can be activated from the injured list Tuesday, Phil Miller of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

      Advice: The Twins have an off day Monday, but it sounds like Buxton will return when the team begins a series at home Tuesday against the Yankees. Buxton will run again Tuesday to test his knee before the game. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:39 pm

    • Knocks second homer
      Wade went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and two walks in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Reds.

      Advice: Wade has gotten on base in his last 13 games, going 11-for-34 with a 13:10 BB:K in that span. While he's been an on-base machine this season, he's struggled to hit for power -- his homer Sunday was his second of the year, and he's added just five doubles over 40 contests. Wade is slashing .340/.480/.457 with 14 RBI, 14 runs scored and one stolen base over 123 plate appearances. He's just shy of being a qualified hitter due to beginning the year in a strong-side platoon role, but he's seen more opportunities versus southpaws since Jorge Soler (shoulder) went on the injured list Wednesday.

    • LaMonte Wade Jr. hits two-run homer in Giants’ win
      LaMonte Wade Jr. hit a two-run homer and walked twice Sunday as the Giants bested the Reds 6-5 in 10 innings.

      Advice: One of the walks was his first intentional pass of the season. The MLB OBP leader at .480, Wade now has two homers in 123 plate appearances. Because of his performance and the fact that the Giants are really banged up, he made his first two starts of the year against lefties on Friday and Saturday. That he’s not platooning at the moment makes him an option in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:56 pm
