  • Keeps up power surge
    Kwan went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Kwan is up to a career-high seven homers this season, and three of them have come in his last five games. The outfielder has logged seven multi-hit efforts over his last 11 contests as well. The power probably won't last, as Kwan remains focused on making smart contact. He's at a stellar .390/.448/.575 slash line with 23 RBI, 46 runs scored and three stolen bases over 49 games. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:38 pm

  • Homer, steal in win
    Lindor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, a hit-by-pitch and a stolen base in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Lindor opened the scoring with his third-inning blast. The shortstop has been showcasing all of his skills in June, going 21-for-76 (.276) with four homers, five steals and 10 RBI over 19 contests this month. It's a strong turnaround for the 30-year-old, who is slashing .241/.310/.433 with 13 homers, 39 RBI, 49 runs scored, 20 doubles and 13 steals through 76 games overall. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:16 pm

  • Francisco Lindor homers, swipes bag to lead Mets
    Francisco Lindor clobbered a two-run homer and stole a base on Sunday night, helping to lead the Mets to a 5-2 victory over the Cubs in Chicago.

    Advice: Lindor opened the scoring in the ballgame with a 378-foot (101.4 mph EV) two-run blast after an eight-pitch battle with Javier Assad in the third inning. He was also hit by a pitch in the fifth inning and swiped second base before getting stranded at third. The 30-year-old shortstop finished the evening 1-for-4 and is now hitting .241/.310/.433 with 13 homers, 39 RBI and 13 stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:22 pm

    Iglesias struck out two during a perfect ninth to collect the save Sunday against the Yankees.

  • Bryan Reynolds goes 2-for-3, hits 12th homer
    Bryan Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a homer that accounted for Pittsburgh’s only run and a walk Sunday against the Rays.

    Advice: The homer left his bat at just 90 mph, but aided by some wind, it got over the wall at PNC Park. Reynolds’ hitting streak is now at 20 games, and it includes three homers in his last four games. Today’s performance pushed his OPS over .800 for the first time since mid-April.

  • Posts 20-game hitting streak
    Reynolds went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Sunday against the Rays.

    Advice: Reynolds extended his hitting streak to 20 games with an infield single in the first, then later tied the game with a fourth-inning blast that just cleared the wall in right. It was the 12th home run for Reynolds, who has collected five of those during this current hit streak that spans the entirety of the month of June. Rotowire.com Sunday, 1:36 pm
     
  • Will Benson leaves game after HBP on Sunday
    Will Benson was removed from Sunday’s game against the Red Sox after he was hit on the left elbow by a pitch.

    Advice: Benson was initially able to talk his way into staying in the game to run the bases for himself, but he was replaced when the Reds took the field defensively in the ninth inning. He’ll presumably head for X-rays to see if there’s any structural damage. If fantasy managers in deeper leagues are relying on Benson for next week, it’d be wise to have a contingency option in play to be on the safe side. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:31 pm

  • Raisel Iglesias nails down 20th save
    Raisel Iglesias struck out two Yankees en route to a save on Sunday. He didn’t allow a base runner.

    Advice: Iglesias became the fourth closer this season to cross the 20-save plateau and continues to stifle his opponents despite a strikeout rate hovering around 20%. His role seems safe as ever in the Braves’ bullpen. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:07 pm
