  • 46-32-2 1st Place
    • Goes deep in win
      Cowser went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Cowser had gone 1-for-18 over the previous six games, though he's maintained a starting role in the Orioles' lineup despite the slump. The outfielder burst onto the scene early in the season, but he's batting a poor .185 (12-for-65) with five extra-base hits and six RBI over 21 contests in May. Cowser is up to seven homers, 24 RBI, 17 runs scored, three stolen bases and a .248/.341/.475 slash line through 164 plate appearances. His strikeout rate has also ticked up to 30.5 percent, which makes it tough for him to get back on track. If Cowser's struggles worsen, Kyle Stowers or Austin Hays could be candidates to see more playing time. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:03 pm
       
    • Stays hot Sunday
      Witt went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Rays.

      Advice: Witt took reliever Shawn Armstrong deep in the sixth inning to open the scoring. The homer was Witt's fourth over his last five games, and he's gone 14-for-38 (.368) during his nine-game hitting streak. The shortstop continues to cruises with a stellar .307/.366/.561 slash line while adding nine homers, 36 RBI, a major-league-leading 48 runs scored, 16 stolen bases, 15 doubles and six triples over 54 contests this season.

    • Bobby Witt Jr. stays hot, homers in win
      Bobby Witt Jr. went 2-for-5 with a home run on Sunday against the Rays.

      Advice: Both of Witt’s hits in this one had at least a 110 MPH exit velocity as he continued to hit the ball with imposing authority. Few hitters in baseball are swinging it better than Witt who has four home runs and 13 RBI in his last seven games. He’s fully ascended into super-stardom and has an argument for the most valuable hitter in fantasy baseball. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:59 pm
       
    • Yusei Kikuchi struggles through three innings
      Yusei Kikuchi was pulled after allowing five runs and eight hits in three innings Sunday against the Tigers.

      Advice: Kikuchi’s velocity was down 1.5 mph on this fastball and about 2.5 mph on his secondary pitches today, and he failed to record a strikeout against the 17 batters he faced. It was easily his worst performance of the year. Hopefully, the velocity drop can be explained by an illness or something else minor. Rotoworld Sunday, 12:27 pm
       
    • Roughed up in no-decision
      Kikuchi escaped Sunday's 14-11 loss to Detroit with a no-decision, yielding five earned runs on eight hits over just three innings. He did not record a walk or strikeout.

      Advice: Kikuchi got roughed up in this one, surrendering four extra-base hits including a solo home run to Spencer Torkelson. The five earned runs are a season high for Kikuchi, who entered this game on a four-game streak allowing two runs or fewer. The 32-year-old still sports a solid 3.25 ERA after Sunday's outing, but more regression could be coming if his 0.74 HR/9 normalizes to his career average of 1.56. His is tentatively slated for a home start next weekend against the Pirates. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:17 pm
       
    • Lane Thomas (knee) could return Monday for Nats
      Lane Thomas (knee) could return to the Nationals lineup Monday against Atlanta.

      Advice: Thomas has been on the shelf since April 23 with an MCL sprain in his knee, but he started a rehab assignment Tuesday. Nationals manager Dave Martinez told reporters that Thomas will go through drills prior to Monday’s game, and if things go well, he could be activated to play. The 28-year-old was excellent for most of 2023, and he’d be worth fantasy consideration if/when that takes place. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:30 am
       
    • Targeting return Tuesday
      O'Neill (knee), who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers, is expected to remain on the bench for Monday's series opener in Baltimore before returning to the starting nine for Tuesday's game versus the Orioles, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: The Red Sox don't view O'Neill's sore right knee as a major concern and think he'll need to miss just two starts due to the issue before returning to the starting nine as either a designated hitter or corner outfielder. Garrett Cooper will enter the lineup in O'Neill's stead Sunday, occupying the DH spot and batting third. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:06 am
       
    • Tyler O’Neill (knee) remains out Sunday
      Tyler O’Neill (knee) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Brewers.

      Advice: O’Neill left Saturday’s contest with the Brewers with soreness in his right knee. The 28-year-old will miss at least one full game with Garrett Cooper hitting third as the starting designated hitter. O’Neill should be considered day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Sunday, 6:59 am
       
    • Not playing Sunday
      O'Neill (knee) won't be available for Sunday's game against the Brewers, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: O'Neill was removed from Saturday's 6-3 loss after seven innings with soreness in his right knee. He admitted to grinding through the injury; the outfielder is 11-for-73 with 36 strikeouts over the last 20 games. The Red Sox are hopeful that a day off will be all that O'Neill needs to recover from the injury before the team opens up a three-game set in Baltimore on Monday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:05 am
