  • Drives in pair
    Gonzales went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Sunday against the Mets.

    Advice: Gonzales delivered a two-RBI single with the bases loaded in the eighth inning, accounting for Pittsburgh's only runs of the game. He's slowed since a very hot start to his stint in the majors this season, maintaining just a .227 average with eight RBI and nine runs scored in the last month. Nevertheless, he remains a key part of the Pirates' lineup and has not seen his playing time suffer. Rotowire.com Today, 9:58 pm

  • Homer among four hits in win
    Heim went 4-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, an additional RBI and three total runs scored in Sunday's 13-2 win over the Rays.

    Advice: Heim tied the game with an RBI single in the fourth inning before adding a solo shot in the sixth. The catcher has gone 15-for-41 (.366) with two homers, four RBI and eight runs scored over his last 12 contests. For the season, he's up to eight homers, 36 RBI, 31 runs scored, one stolen base and a .247/.294/.367 slash line across 296 plate appearances in a starting role. Rotowire.com Today, 4:16 pm
     
  • Grabs one-out save
    Neris struck out the only batter he faced to earn the save in Sunday's 5-0 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Neris was credited with the save after Luke Little loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth inning. Neris struck out Zach Neto on four pitches to end the threat. This is the second stretch of the season where Neris has avoided giving up a run over five consecutive appearances, with this scoreless streak at 4.1 innings. He has a 9:2 K:BB in that span, and for the season, the closer is up to 12 saves with a 4.06 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 33:22 K:BB across 31 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 3:18 pm
     
  • Expects to play Monday
    Correa (finger) expects to be in the lineup Monday versus the White Sox, Audra Martin of Bally Sports North reports.

    Advice: Correa exited Sunday's 3-2 win over Houston with a bruised right finger in the first inning, but he explained to Martin after the game that he doesn't expect the injury to sideline him moving forward. The shortstop will look to bring his expectation to fruition in Monday's series opener on the road against the White Sox. Rotowire.com Today, 2:40 pm

  • Heim has four hits, HR in win over Rays
    Jonah Heim went 4-for-5 with a home run, three runs scored, and two RBI in a win over the Rays on Sunday.

    Advice: The home run was his eighth on the season to go along with 36 RBI. Heim is hitting just .247 on the season but has been hitting better of late, going 15-for-49 (.306) over his last 15 games with two home runs, nine runs scored, and five RBI. It’s not quite the numbers from last season, but it’s enough to be a fringe fantasy contributor in one-catcher leagues. Rotoworld Today, 2:34 pm
     
  • Carlos Correa (finger) expects to play on Monday
    Carlos Correa (finger) told reporters after Sunday’s game that he expects to return to the Twins’ starting lineup on Monday.

    Advice: Correa was pulled from Sunday’s game after being hit by a pitch, but fortunately X-rays came back negative for any structural damage and he’s merely dealing with a right finger contusion. If the 29-year-old shortstop says that he’s good enough to play on Monday, then chances are he’ll be in the Twins’ lineup for their series opener against the White Sox in Chicago.

  • Nick Gonzales briefly puts Pirates ahead
    Nick Gonzales went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Sunday against the Mets.

    Advice: Gonzales had a clutch knock off Edwin Díaz that drove in two and put the Pirates ahead before Aroldis Chapman gave the game right back. The league has adjusted back to Gonzales after a red-hot start to his season. He’s a free-swinger and pitchers have responded by throwing him fewer and fewer pitches in the strike zone.

  • Héctor Neris gets one-out save versus Angels
    Héctor Neris struck out the only batter he faced for a save in a 5-0 game against the Angels on Sunday.

    Advice: Luke Little retired the first two batters in the ninth, only to give up two infield singles and a walk afterwards. That created the save chance for Neris, and Neris fanned Zach Neto to end the game. After an ugly run in mid-June, he’s struck out nine and picked up two saves and a win in 4 1/3 innings over his last five appearances. Rotoworld Today, 2:12 pm
     
  • Snaps out of power slump
    Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

    Advice: Olson took rookie Michael Mercado deep in the second inning to break out of a 14-game homerless drought. It was Olson's second separate streak of 14 or more games without a homer this season, after only having one such streak all of last season. The 30-year-old entered the game in a 10-for-65 slump with just two extra-base hits and three RBI in his last 18 games, so he'll try to find some positive momentum headed into the All-Star break.
