    • Earns save No. 22
      Iglesias picked up the save in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Padres, tossing a clean ninth inning while striking out a batter in the process.

      Advice: Iglesias was able to preserve a three-run lead for Atlanta and help the team go into the break on a positive note. He began with a strikeout against Kyle Higashioka before retiring David Peralta and Jurickson Profar on a pair of lineouts. Iglesias hasn't allowed a run in each of his last eight appearances and last blew a save back on May 3. The 34-year-old isn't striking out as many batters as he has throughout his career but is still posting superb numbers. Iglesias is now up to 22 saves and will take a 2.02 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 31:7 K:BB (35.2 innings) into the second half of the season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:53 am
       
    • Stays hot on basepaths
      Thomas went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to the Brewers.

      Advice: The 28-year-old outfielder is sprinting into the All-Star break. While Thomas' homer drought stands at 23 games, he's reached base safely in all 14 games in July, slashing .298/.375/.351 for the month with three doubles, four RBI, six runs and six of his 23 steals on the season.

    • On base four times Sunday
      Lindor went 2-for-3 with two walks and an RBI in Sunday's loss to the Rockies.

      Advice: The veteran shortstop heads into the All-Star break on a tear. Lindor got on base 10 times in 15 plate appearances during the three-game series against Colorado, and over his last 25 contests he's slashing .314/.397/.549 with nine doubles, five homers, seven steals, 18 RBI and 20 runs.

    • Swings off tee Sunday
      Jung (wrist) said he took 15 swings with a regular bat off a tee Sunday, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: According to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, Jung admitted that he's not certain of his next step, but the 26-year-old plans to continue swinging the bat over the All-Star break this week. If Jung incurs no setbacks with his surgically repaired right wrist while doing so, the Rangers could then map out a minor-league rehab assignment coming out of the break. Jung previously appeared in four rehab games in June and looked to be on the cusp of returning from the 60-day injured list before experiencing inflammation in his wrist and having his activation date pushed back.

    • Pulled in the third
      Singer was saddled with the loss Sunday, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk over 2.2 innings against the Red Sox. He struck out three.

      Advice: Singer couldn't put things together Sunday, allowing separate two-run homers in each of the first and second innings, then loading the bases in the third prior to being pulled. It was the shortest outing of the season for Singer, who entered the contest having allowed only one earned run during each of his previous four starts. He enters the All-Star break ranked 10th in the majors with a 3.20 ERA to go along with a 1.23 WHIP and 99 strikeouts over 19 starts spanning 104 innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:20 pm
       
    • Carries Texas to win
      Smith went 2-for-4 with two two-run home runs during Sunday's 4-2 win over the Astros.

      Advice: As a team, the Rangers logged only three hits Sunday. Two of those came off Smith's bat, and each wound up in the stands for the 26-year-old's first career multi-homer game. During his last 11 games, Smith is batting 13-for-40 (.325) with three homers, seven runs scored, eight RBI and a stolen base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:21 pm

    • Brady Singer pulled in third versus Red Sox
      Brady Singer was tagged for four runs and eight hits in 2 2/3 innings by the Red Sox on Sunday.

      Advice: Singer couldn’t close out the first half on a high note, giving up two homers today after surrendering none in his previous four starts. His ERA crept back over 3.00 to 3.20. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:54 pm
       
    • Raisel Iglesias closes out Padres on Sunday
      Raisel Iglesias picked up his 22nd save of the season on Sunday afternoon, working a scoreless ninth inning to protect a three-run lead against the Padres.

      Advice: Iglesias came on with a three-run lead to preserve in the ninth inning and he made sure that it stood up and the Braves went into the All-Star break on a high note. The 34-year-old right-hander got Kyle Higashioka on a swinging third strike, David Peralta on a line drive to center and Jurickson Profar on a line drive to right to end it. Iglesias heads into the All-Star break with a 2.02 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and a 31/7 K/BB ratio over 35 2/3 innings to go with 22 saves and one victory. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:50 pm
       
    • Daniel Hudson (back) was unavailable on Sunday
      Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters after Sunday’s game that Daniel Hudson was unavailable for Sunday’s first half finale against the Tigers due to soreness in his back.

      Advice: The Dodgers don’t sound overly concerned about the injury and are hopeful that the time off over the All-Star break will cure what ails him. It’s something that fantasy managers should monitor though heading into next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:26 pm
