  • Dansby Swanson homers in win over Giants
    Dansby Swanson hit a two-run homer on Tuesday, leading the Cubs to a 5-2 victory over the Giants.

    Advice: Swanson kicked off the scoring in this one with a two-run blast off Giants ace Logan Webb in the second inning. It was his seventh long ball of the year, but third time he’s gone deep since June 1. He’s batting just .192 (20-for-104) with four homers and one steal over his last 30 games.

  • Accounts for offense in loss
    Casali went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Cubs.

    Advice: Casali had half of the Giants' hits and drove in all of their runs with a two-run double in the fifth inning. This was his second straight multi-hit effort, though Casali's playing time is sparse with Patrick Bailey seeing most of the work behind the dish. For the season, Casali is slashing .243/.349/.297 with two doubles, four RBI and five runs scored over 44 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:45 pm
     
  • Logs three hits in loss
    Brennan went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: Brennan has three multi-hit efforts over his last four games. The outfielder has been limited to a strong-side platoon role this season, though he's been little more than average for much of the year. He's at a .249/.306/.386 slash line with six home runs, 22 RBI, 24 runs scored and three stolen bases through 62 contests. Brennan is likely to share right field with Johnathan Rodriguez for now, as David Fry should settle into being the Guardians' main designated hitter following Kyle Manzardo's demotion to Triple-A Columbus earlier Tuesday.

  • Racks up three hits
    Schanuel went 3-for-4 with a double, one walk and one RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: Schanuel is starting to get in a groove at the plate, going 11-for-24 (.458) over his last seven games. That's a big improvement after he opened June 2-for-25 across seven contests. The first baseman is at a .233/.313/.362 slash line with eight home runs, 25 RBI, 24 runs scored, one stolen base and six doubles through 65 games overall. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:35 pm
     
  • Lifts first big-league homer
    Loftin went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: Loftin hit his first career homer off Hogan Harris in the second inning, tying the game at 2-2. While Loftin has seen a steady run at second base, he entered Tuesday on an 0-for-14 skid that could jeopardize his playing time. He's slashing .253/.351/.304 with 12 RBI, 13 runs scored and no stolen bases over 95 plate appearances this season. Michael Massey (back) began a rehab assignment Tuesday, so Loftin's time in a starting role -- and potentially in the majors -- could come to a close when Massey is ready to return to the Royals.

  • Three doubles in win
    Bleday went 3-for-4 with three doubles, two RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Bleday is on a tear, going 14-for-27 (.519) with five extra-base hits over his last seven games. The outfielder's surge has him up to a .261/.342/.478 slash line on the year. He's added 10 home runs, 27 RBI, 32 runs scored, 22 doubles and three triples over 75 contests, but he's yet to steal a base. Bleday has matched or exceeded nearly all of his counting stats from 82 games last year as he continues to enjoy a breakout campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:03 pm
     
  • Tallies third homer
    Hayes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Reds.

    Advice: Hayes tallied the Pirates' only run with a solo home run in the seventh inning -- his third of the season. The performance also extended his hitting streak to a modest five games, though he has no multi-hit performances in that span to go along with only two RBI and two runs scored. Hayes has a disappointing .084 ISO across 215 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:59 pm
     
  • On fire in June
    Vaughn went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Tuesday against the Astros.

    Advice: Vaughn grounded into a pair of fielder's choice outs to tally his two RBI. Though it wasn't a particularly notable performance, he now has five home runs, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored across 14 games in June while also hitting .356. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:53 pm
     
  • Clubs fourth homer
    Montero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 11-9 loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Montero has an extra-base hit and at least one RBI in each of his last three games. He began Tuesday's game on the bench but entered early after Charlie Blackmon (hamstring) exited the contest. Montero is at a middling .209/.274/.313 slash line with four homers, 27 RBI, 22 runs scored and 10 doubles over 62 contests this season, though he's hit just .167 (8-for-48) in June. If Blackmon misses additional time, that may allow Montero to be in the lineup more often, as his playing time has started to slip. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:43 pm
