    • Gorman homers, drives in four in win
      Nolan Gorman went 2-for-4 with a grand slam in a win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

      Advice: Gorman’s home run was a 415-foot shot for his 17th of the season to go along with 41 RBIs. However, he also struck out twice and came into today with a 36.5 percent strikeout rate. In his last 35 games, Gorman is hitting just .177/.241/.411 with a 36.5 percent strikeout rate. However, he also has 10 home runs and five steals over that span, so if you are not in a batting average league or are punting the category, you can likely still roster Gorman.

    • Tyler Freeman has two hits, HR in win
      Tyler Freeman went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

      Advice: The home run was Freeman’s seventh of the season to go along with 30 RBI. Despite some concerns about his playing time, Freeman has started five of the last six games in center field for the Guardians. His expected stats still suggest there should be some batting average gains coming for the 25-year-old, but he might never be a real asset in that category. Still, given his most power/speed upside and regular role, Freeman is worth rostering in deeper formats. Rotoworld Today, 6:31 pm

    • IKF week-to-week with right knee sprain
      Isiah Kiner-Falefa is week-to-week with a right knee sprain.

      Advice: Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters Tuesday that Kiner-Falefa is going to require more than a minimum stay on the injured list after suffering a right knee sprain. There isn’t an official timeline for his return, but the absence of any sort of clarity means he’s most likely out until after the All-Star break. Rotoworld Today, 5:35 pm

    • Optioned to Triple-A
      The Diamondbacks optioned Alexander to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday

      Advice: With Gabriel Moreno (thumb) and Alek Thomas (hamstring) returning from the injured list Tuesday, Alexander and Tucker Barnhart will both be pushed back to the minors. In his first season in the big leagues, Alexander has slashed .259/.328/.361 with three homers and 21 RBI across 175 plate appearances. Should the Diamondbacks run into any problems with their infield depth, it's likely the 25-year-old would be one of the first choices for a return to Arizona. Rotowire.com Today, 3:37 pm

    • D-backs option Blaze Alexander to Triple-A
      Diamondbacks optioned SS Blaze Alexander to Triple-A Reno.

      Advice: Alexander got off to a strong start this season in place of an injured Geraldo Perdomo, but there isn’t exactly a spot for him in Arizona at the moment with everyone back healthy in the starting lineup. The 25-year-old rookie holds a respectable .688 OPS with three homers and three steals across 175 plate appearances. He’ll continue to play everyday back at Triple-A Reno until another opportunity arises. Rotoworld Today, 3:32 pm

    • Sitting Tuesday and more
      Biggio isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Biggio is set to lose time in the Dodgers' lineup at third base with Chris Taylor looking to secure the position as his until Max Muncy (oblique) returns. Biggio has struggled with Los Angeles, batting .188 with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate in 12 games. Taylor has the start at third Tuesday and is batting eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:20 pm

    • Brandon Drury back Tuesday after 10-game absence
      Brandon Drury (illness) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Drury is back at second base and batting seventh for Tuesday’s series opener against Oakland following a 10-game absence due to a respiratory virus. Rotoworld Today, 3:20 pm
       
    • Athletics designate Aledmys Díaz for assignment
      Athletics designated INF Aledmys Díaz for assignment.

      Advice: Díaz has been jettisoned from Oakland’s roster to make room for younger players to come up and get an opportunity moving forward. The 33-year-old veteran infielder signed a two-year, $14.5 million deal prior to last year and finishes his tenure in Oakland with a disastrous .585 OPS with four homers and one steal in 374 plate appearances over 121 games.

    • Back in starting lineup
      Drury (illness) is starting at second base and batting seventh Tuesday, which will make it 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 Today, 3:03 pm
