  • Nolan Schanuel plates four in loss to Athletics
    Nolan Schanuel had a nice night at the dish in Tuesday’s loss to the Athletics, going 2-for-4 with a double and four RBI.

    Advice: Schanuel got the Angels off the schneid with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning. He then pulled them a bit closer in the seventh with a two-run single that trimmed their deficit to four runs at 7-3. Schanuel also smacked an RBI double off of Mason Miller in the ninth inning and scored on an RBI single by Luis Rengifo. With his two-hit evening, the 22-year-old first baseman is now slashing .239/.311/.355 with eight homers, 30 RBI and a pair of stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:01 pm

  • Picks up steal in loss
    Raley went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-0 loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Raley didn't log a steal in all of June, though he hit .263 with an .857 OPS for the month as one of the Mariners' more consistent batters. He's up to six thefts on seven attempts this year, offering modest speed. Raley has added nine home runs, 23 RBI, 30 runs scored, eight doubles, two triples and a .257/.304/.443 slash line across 73 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:58 pm

  • Rhys Hoskins leads Brewers past Rockies on Tuesday
    Rhys Hoskins drew a go-ahead bases-loaded walk with two outs in the ninth inning on Tuesday night, leading the Brewers to a 4-3 victory over the Rockies.

    Advice: Hoskins entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Jake Bauers in the eighth inning where he went down on strikes. He atoned for that failure in the ninth inning though, working a walk off of Justin Lawrence to drive in the go-ahead run. On the season, the 31-year-old slugger is hitting .224/.318/.404 with 11 homers, 38 RBI and a pair of stolen bases. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:14 pm

    Advice: Burger hit a solo home run in the fifth inning and added a single in the ninth. The 28-year-old hit .213 in both May and June but does have two multi-hit efforts and two home runs in his past five games. On the season, he is hitting .221 with eight home runs, 28 RBI and 25 runs scored through 259 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:41 pm

  • Lowe homers twice off Cease in win over Padres
    Nathaniel Lowe went 2-for-4 with four RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Padres.

    Advice: Lowe put the Rangers on the board in the bottom of the first inning when he sent a two-run homer into the stands off Padres starter Dylan Cease. It was just Lowe’s fifth homer of the season, but the veteran first baseman has now hit safely in three straight games while driving in six runs and homering twice over that span. Lowe got to Cease again in the third inning when he hit another two-run blast to push the Rangers’ lead to 5-0, and now has 33 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:38 pm
     
  • Jake Burger tallies two hits, homers in losing effort
    Jake Burger went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Tuesday in the Marlins’ loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Burger was one of the few bright spots in this one as his fifth-inning solo shot off Red Sox starter Kutter Crawford was one of just three hits for Miami through six innings. The 28-year-old slugger has homered twice in his last five games and is now up to eight big flies on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:15 pm

  • Back in starting lineup
    Drury (illness) is starting at second base and batting seventh Tuesday, his first start since June 18.

    Advice: After dealing with a hamstring injury, Drury returned from the injured list June 17. However, since then the infielder has been dealing with an illness that has resulted in multiple late scratches and games on the bench. The 31-year-old came off the bench in Sunday's game but went 0-for-2 with a strikeout. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:03 pm
