  • Jansen picks up 13th save in win over Blue Jays
    Kenley Jansen pitched a scoreless ninth in Tuesday’s win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Jansen has now picked up saves in back-to-back days and has recorded four saves in the month of June. The hard-throwing righty has allowed one run in his last 6 1/3 innings pitched while striking out eight batters to just one walk. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
     
  • Rafaela has three-hit night in win over Blue Jays
    Ceddanne Rafaela went 3-for-4 and a double and one RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The Red Sox’s No. 9 hitter came up big on Tuesday as his third hit drove in the go-ahead run to complete the comeback over the Jays. Rafaela has been hot of late, hitting in seven straight games while going 16-for-26 over that span. He’s slashing a solid .377/.406/.475 in June but continues to strike out at a high rate (32.8 percent) when he’s not getting on base. We’ll see how long this hot-hitting continues for the young centerfielder. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
     
  • Secures second save
    Brebbia picked up the save in Monday's 2-0 victory over the Astros. He pitched a clean third of an inning without a strikeout.

    Advice: After rookie Jonathan Cannon turned in 8.2 scoreless innings, Brebbia entered the ninth after Houston knocked a pair of two-out singles. The veteran reliever induced a Victor Caratini groundout to lock down Chicago's 20th win on the season. Michael Kopech has struggled mightily of late -- sporting a 11.37 ERA over 6.1 innings with three blown saves in his last eight appearances -- opening the pathway for Brebbia to claim the White Sox closer role. The 34-year-old appears ready for more save opportunities, as he owns a 1.17 ERA, 0.78 WHIP and 14:1 K:BB in 7.1 innings in June. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Ernie Clement drives in two in loss to Red Sox
    Ernie Clement went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Clement doubled in the second inning to score Justin Turner and Addison Barger, giving the Jays an early 2-1 lead. Clement has now hit safely in three straight games and has four RBI to his name over that stretch. Clement is batting a blistering .429 in the month of June with six RBI and six extra-base hits.

  • J.P. Crawford has two hits, HR in win
    J.P. Crawford went 2-for-3 with two walks and three RBI in a win over the Guardians on Tuesday.

    Advice: Crawford had two of the five hardest-hit balls of the game with a 106.2 mph double and a 105 mph home run, which was his seventh of the season to go along with 21 RBI. Crawford remains in the leadoff spot for the Mariners but had just one hit in his last seven games coming into today. He’ll remain a fixture in the lineup and has added legitimate 15-20 home run pop over the last two years, which keeps him on the deep league fantasy radar. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Fires 8.2 scoreless in first win
    Cannon (1-1) earned his first career win Monday against Houston, allowing seven hits and one walk over 8.2 scoreless innings. He struck out four.

    Advice: The 23-year-old rookie tossed the best game of his short career, leading the charge for the first White Sox shutout since May 21. Cannon has displayed masterful control in the majors, allowing just six walks in 32.1 innings. The Chicago right-hander now sports a 3.34 ERA and 1.24 WHIP this season. He is currently scheduled to make his next start against the Tigers on the road this weekend. Although Mike Clevinger (elbow) is rehabbing and nearing a return, Cannon's strong performance to date may keep him in the White Sox rotation long term. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
     
  • Will Brennan has three hits in loss
    Will Brennan went 3-for-5 with a run and an RBI in a loss to the Mariners on Tuesday.

    Advice: Brennan is playing against all right-handed pitchers and is now 12-for-37 (.324) in 12 games in June. He has six home runs and three steals on the season, so he doesn’t bring tons of fantasy value to the table, but his consistent spot in the middle of the Guardians’ lineup gives him some value in deeper formats.

  • Alexis Díaz earns 16th save on Tuesday
    Alexis Díaz pitched a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a 2-1 win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Advice: The save was Díaz’s 16th of the season and 5th in the month of June. It was a nice rebound from his tough outing against the Brewers last time out and Díaz has now thrown a scoreless inning in eight of his last 11 appearances. The bigger key for the 27-year-old was that he didn’t walk a batter in this outing, only the second time in June he’s accomplished that. He needs to keep the walks down if he’s going to continue having success at the end of games. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago
     
  • Santiago Espinal homers in win over Pirates
    Santiago Espinal went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Advice: Espinal’s home run accounted for the only runs the Reds would score, or need to score, on Tuesday. It was Espinal’s first start in over a week and just his fourth home run of the season to go along with a .204 average. He remains off fantasy radars, but it was a good day for him today.
