    • Big day in win
      Ramos went 2-for-4 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Atlanta.

      Advice: His ninth-inning shot off Jesse Chavez gave the Giants an insurance run. After a slump in the second half of June, Ramos is heating up again, racking up multiple hits in three straight games. The 24-year-old is slashing an impressive .298/.373/.524 through 217 plate appearances in the majors this season with 11 homers, two steals, 23 runs and 38 RBI, and he's solidified his spot as San Francisco's starting center fielder.

    • Powers offense Tuesday
      Butler went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Angels.

      Advice: This was Butler's first multi-hit effort in 12 contests since he was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas. He's gone 7-for-32 (.219) in that span, adding 12 strikeouts and no walks. The outfielder is at a .188/.266/.297 slash line with three homers, 11 RBI, 12 runs scored and four stolen bases through 154 plate appearances this season. Butler is sharing right field with Daz Cameron, though the lefty-hitting Butler has lost out on some starts versus right-handed pitchers. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:28 pm
       
    • Lawrence Butler powers Athletics past Angels
      Lawrence Butler clobbered a three-run homer on Tuesday night, powering the Angels to a 7-5 victory over the Angels.

      Advice: Butler belted a 344-foot (98.3 mph EV) three-run shot off of Jose Soriano in the fourth inning that increased the Athletics’ early lead to 4-0. In addition, the 23-year-old slugger also singled in the sixth inning and scored on a two-run double off the bat of Brett Harris. Butler finished the night 2-for-4 and is now slashing .188/.266/.297 with just three homers and 11 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:09 pm
       
    • Sitting versus lefty
      Blackmon isn't in the Rockies' lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Brewers, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: The left-handed bat of Blackmon will step out of the lineup Tuesday versus fellow southpaw Dallas Keuchel. Hunter Goodman will move into right field as a result while Elias Diaz serves as the DH, allowing Jacob Stallings to start behind the plate and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:48 pm
       
    • Garrett Mitchell batting fifth on Tuesday night
      Garrett Mitchell is in center field and batting fifth on Tuesday against the Rockies.

      Advice: Mitchell came off the bench on Monday to reach base safely in two of his three plate appearances in his season debut. The 25-year-old outfielder still has some serious contact issues to address, but there’s definitely some power/speed combo intrigue here, if he manages to somewhat put it all together at the highest level. The fact that he’s missed so much time over the last few years due to injuries certainly amplifies the risk here. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:49 pm
       
    • Ramón Laureano (back) might require IL stint
      Ramón Laureano (back) might require a trip to the injured list.

      Advice: Laureano remains day-to-day with back soreness, but Braves manager Brian Snitker told reporters Tuesday that it’s morphed into more of an oblique issue at this point. It’s possible he’ll wind up requiring a trip to the injured list later this week. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:36 pm

    • Could go on IL with oblique issue
      Laureano's back pain has moved toward his oblique and he may now require a trip to the 10-day injured list, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Laureano has already been shelved for nearly a week and it appears he may now miss quite a bit more time. The outfielder would be eligible to return before the All-Star break if an IL move is made soon, but being held out until the second half is probably likelier at this point. Adam Duvall has been handling right field with Laureano out. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:36 pm

    • Back from injured list
      The Giants reinstated Yastrzemski (oblique) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

      Advice: The 33-year-old landed on the shelf with an oblique strain June 22, and he's ready to rejoin the Giants after a brief stay on the injured list. Yastrzemski was enjoying a strong month prior to the injury, as he had an .842 OPS over 18 games in June. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:19 pm
       
    • Giants activate Mike Yastrzemski for Tuesday return
      Giants activated OF Mike Yastrzemski from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Yastrzemski returns to San Francisco’s corner outfield mix for Tuesday’s game against the Braves following a nearly two-week absence due to a mild left oblique strain. The 33-year-old slugger boasts a .710 OPS with seven homers and one steal across 215 plate appearances this season. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:09 pm
