    • Pops first homer of July
      Siri went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Sunday against the Guardians.

      Advice: Siri has struggled in July, collecting only five hits across 35 at-bats while striking out 12 times. Nevertheless, he managed to go into the All-Star break on a positive note by tallying his 12th home run of the season. Siri has retained the starting job in center field for most of the first half, though he could be pused for playing time by Jonny DeLuca if his struggles at the plate persist.

    • Stays hot
      Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two additional runs scored during Sunday's 9-4 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: After going 4-for-5 at the dish Saturday, Reynolds added another pair of hits Sunday, including an eighth-inning homer off John Brebbia. The outfielder enters the All-Star break with a .284/.347/.487 slash line. He ranks 11th in OPS (.834) and ninth in home runs (18) among National League players. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:19 pm

    • Three hits, steal in loss
      Donovan went 3-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: Donovan has six multi-hit efforts over 13 games in July, going 18-for-52 (.346) in that span. The steal was his first since June 26 and his third of the campaign. The 27-year-old is up to a .276/.345/.411 slash line with eight home runs, 45 RBI, 43 runs scored, 22 doubles and one triple over 91 contests this season. Donovan has primarily played in left field, though he occasionally spells Nolan Gorman at second base or Nolan Arenado at third. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:11 pm

    • Goes deep again Sunday
      Burleson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 8-3 loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: Burleson heads into the All-Star break on a tear with four homers and 11 RBI across his last seven games. The outfielder is up to a .288/.320/.494 slash line, 17 long balls, 53 RBI, 41 runs scored, 14 doubles and seven stolen bases across 89 contests. Burleson still doesn't have one set position, but he's able to maintain a near-everyday role between the corner outfield spots, first base and designated hitter. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:08 pm

    • Bryan Reynolds smacks 18th homer before break
      Bryan Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, three runs scored, and a walk in a 9-4 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: The All-Star break could not come at a worse time for Reynolds who is as hot as he’s ever been in his career. 10 of his 18 homers have come in his last 30 games and he is slashing .328/.379/.623 over that time. He’s been the key force in Pittsburgh’s offensive turnaround over the past month. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:35 pm

    • Brendan Donovan has three hits in loss
      Brendan Donovan went 3-for-3 with a walk, a run scored, and a steal in a loss to the Cubs on Sunday.

      Advice: The stolen base was his third of the season, but Donovan has continued to be a solid super-utility bat, hitting .276/.345/.411 on the season. His batting average upside and mild power/speed combination put him firmly on the fantasy radar in deeper formats. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:05 pm

    • Burleson homers again in loss
      Alec Burleson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Cubs on Sunday.

      Advice: Burleson took Jameson Taillon deep in the sixth inning for his 17th home run of the season to go along with 53 RBI and a .288/.320/.494 triple slash. He was an afterthought in the Cardinals’ outfield heading into the season but has proven to be a more than capable MLB starter. The Cardinals should keep his bat in the lineup even if they get fully healthy in the second half of the season. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:03 pm

    • Bichette (calf) sits out first half finale Sunday
      Bo Bichette (calf) was held out of the Blue Jays’ starting lineup for Sunday’s first half finale against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: While the 26-year-old shortstop showed improvement over the weekend, the Jays’ thought it made more sense to keep him out of action and give him the extended rest with the All-Star break coming up. Once again, Leo Jimenez will start in his place at shortstop and he’ll bat seventh against Zac Gallen and the Diamondbacks on Sunday. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:12 pm

    • Out for fourth straight game
      Bichette (calf) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Bichette will miss his fourth contest in a row due to a right calf strain, but the Blue Jays' decision not to place him on the injured list offers hope that he'll be ready to go coming out of the All-Star break. Leo Jimenez will once again fill in at shortstop in place of Bichette, who will turn his sights toward a return to the lineup next Friday versus the Tigers. Rotowire.com Sunday, 1:06 pm
