    • Margot has two-hit night, homers in win vs. Tigers
      Manuel Margot went 2-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday’s win over the Tigers.

      Advice: Margot tied the game at 3-3 when he sent his third homer of the season into the stands. Margot has now hit safely in three of his last four games and has homered twice over the last week. With that said, we won’t expect a sudden power surge from a veteran who has never hit more than 13 homers in a season.

    • Joining Pirates Wednesday
      The Pirates will recall Palacios from Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

      Advice: Since returning from the Triple-A injured list June 11, Palacios has slashed .362/.423/.511 with a homer and six RBI in 52 plate appearances. He'll now join the big-league club as the Pirates look to get more production out of their outfielders, in light of the fact both Jack Suwinski (.542 OPS) and Michael Taylor (.492 OPS) have struggled at the plate all season.

    • Report: Pirates set to recall Joshua Palacios
      The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Noah Hiles reports the Pirates are recalling outfielder Joshua Palacios on Wednesday from Triple-A Indianapolis.

      Advice: Palacios is getting the call back to the majors for Wednesday’s game against the Cardinals after batting .311/.386/.419 with one homer and one steal in 21 games this season for Triple-A Indianapolis. The 28-year-old outfielder got into a career-high 91 contests last year for Pittsburgh. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:55 pm
       
    • Jack Suwinski has three hits, HR in loss
      Jack Suwinski went 3-for-3 with a home run in a loss to the Cardinals on Tuesday.

      Advice: Suwinski had the two hardest-hit balls of the day with a 109.7 mph single and a 107.5 mph home run that traveled 448 feet. It was his seventh big fly of the season and is still hitting under .190 on the year He has started four of the last five games in center field for the Pirates, but he only posted one total hit in the other starts. There remains some potential here, but this might not be Suwinski turning a corner yet. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:50 pm
       
    • 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 Yesterday, 6:31 pm

    • Ceddanne Rafaela hits three-run homer in victory
      Ceddanne Rafaela clobbered a three-run homer on Tuesday in the Red Sox’ lopsided win over the Marlins.

      Advice: Rafaela took Marlins rookie starter Valente Bellozo deep to left field for a no-doubter in the fourth inning. It was his ninth round-tripper of the season and first time leaving the yard since June 17. The versatile 23-year-old is on pace for a 20-homer, 20-steal rookie campaign at the moment. If this is the starting point, he’s going to be an extremely impactful fantasy contributor for a long time, even if the plate skills only marginally improve. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:14 pm
       
    • Harrison Bader makes precautionary exit Tuesday
      Harrison Bader was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Nationals for precautionary reasons after an awkward collision with the right-center field wall.

      Advice: The Mets declined to cite a specific reason for Bader’s removal from the contest. However, MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo notes that his left arm hit the right-center field wall awkwardly during that third-inning collision and he appeared pretty shaken up afterwards. It’s possible he’ll be evaluated for a concussion as well just to be safe. There should be some sort of update on his status following the contest. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:08 pm
       
    • Exits early Tuesday
      Bader was removed from Tuesday's game against the Nationals due to an apparent injury, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

      Advice: Bader crashed into the outfield wall while attempting to make a catch in the third inning, and he was replaced in center field by Brandon Nimmo (forehead) to begin the fourth. It's not immediately clear what is bothering Bader, but the Mets will take a closer look at him and should offer more details relatively soon. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:51 pm
       
    • Two stolen bases against Nats
      Bader went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and two stolen bases in Monday's extra-inning win over the Nationals.

      Advice: Batting second against southpaw MacKenzie Gore, Bader was disruptive from the top of the order, singling and swiping second base in the sixth and seventh innings. The 30-year-old center fielder has reeled off four two-hit performances in his last six starts, batting .360 (9-for-25) during that stretch with three doubles, two homers, four steals, four RBI and eight runs.
