    • Another strong outing
      Sanchez allowed one run on four hits and a walk over six innings in a no-decision against the Brewers on Tuesday. He struck out three.

      Advice: Sanchez has now held opponents to two runs or fewer in five of his past six outings and one or fewer in seven of his last 10. The left-hander's ERA is down to 2.71 on the year with a 1.34 WHIP and 59:21 K:BB across 12 starts (66.1 innings). Sanchez is currently lined up for a road matchup with the Red Sox next week in his next outing. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:42 pm
       
    • Keeps surging Tuesday
      Gorman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Astros.

      Advice: Gorman has upped the power over the last week with six homers and 10 RBI over his last seven contests. That's still come with a swing-and-miss risk, as he's struck out 10 times in that span, but that's of little concern when he's making the most of whatever contact he gets. The second baseman is up to 14 homers, 31 RBI, 28 runs scored, two stolen bases, eight doubles and a .235/.320/.508 slash line through 206 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:10 pm

    • Makes impact in return
      Robert (hip) went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: Robert's blast gave the White Sox a lead in the seventh inning, but they couldn't make it stick. This was his first game in nearly two months after the oft-injured outfielder was sidelined by a Grade 2 hip flexor strain in early April. Despite the absence, he's already at three homers through eight games this season. Robert has the potential to make a noticeable impact in fantasy, but his managers will need to be mindful to check for his presence in the lineup, as he's not expected to be a full-time option immediately after such a lengthy absence. Given his injury history, it's likely wise for the White Sox to make sure he gets regular rest, though some of those days could see his bat stay in the lineup as the designated hitter if he's hitting too well to fully sit.

    • Struggles with power
      Dunning didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on four hits and one walk across five innings against the Tigers. He struck out four.

      Advice: Dunning couldn't keep the ball in the yard, yielding a two-run home run to Zach McKinstry in the second inning and a solo homer to Riley Greene in the fifth inning for the three runs that went on his ledger. The 29-year-old hasn't completed six innings since his second start of the campaign and owns a 4.09 ERA across 50.2 innings on the year. He's tentatively scheduled for a road matchup with the Dodgers on Wednesday, June 12. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:43 pm
       
    • Luis Robert Jr. notches two hits, homers in return
      Luis Robert Jr. went 2-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday’s loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: After watching his team’s bullpen give away a 5-1 lead in the sixth inning, Robert smacked a 463-foot homer to left-center to put the White Sox back on top 6-5. It was the third home run of the season for Robert, who was activated off the 10-day injured list earlier in the day after missing almost two months with a hip injury. Robert is slashing .250/.273/.594 in just 32 at-bats this season and has five RBI and a stolen base to go with his three homers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:22 pm
       
    • Dunning allows three earned runs in loss to Tigers
      Dane Dunning allowed three earned runs over five innings while striking out four in Tuesday’s loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: Dunning allowed just five baserunners on the evening, but home runs to Zach McKinstry and Riley Green did enough damage to saddle him with the loss. Dunning didn’t get any run support in this one, as Tigers starter Jack Flaherty allowed just two hits in five innings of work to keep the Tigers in front throughout the evening. Dunning’s next start is scheduled for Tuesday, on the road against the Dodgers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:03 pm
       
    • Kutter Crawford has another rough start in loss
      Kutter Crawford allowed six runs (four earned) on five hits in six innings in a loss to the Braves on Tuesday.

      Advice: Crawford has now allowed 15 earned runs in 16 1/3 innings in his last three starts. However, those starts were also against the Brewers, Braves, and Orioles. He was never going to carry over the 1.75 ERA he had over his first eight starts, but he’s also not pitching as poorly of late as those earned runs totals would indicate. He induced 12 whiffs on 51 swings for a 24 percent whiff rate on the day and lines up for a much better start against the White Sox this weekend. He should still be rostered and started in almost all formats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:22 pm
       
    • Hit hard by Atlanta
      Crawford (2-5) took the loss Tuesday against Atlanta, allowing six runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks across six innings. He struck out five.

      Advice: The right-hander surrendered three extra-base hits Tuesday, which resulted in five of the six runs scored by Atlanta while Crawford was on the mound. Ozzie Albies and Jarred Kelenic came around to score after hitting doubles before Albies went yard on a three-run blast in the sixth inning. Tuesday's start was the latest in a rough patch for the 28-year-old Crawford, who's allowed four or more earned runs in four of his last five showings. During that span, Crawford is 0-4 with a 6.43 ERA across 28.0 innings. However, a road start against the White Sox on Sunday could be exactly what he needs to get back on track.

    • Cristopher Sánchez spins six frames in no-decision
      Cristopher Sánchez allowed one run over six innings on Tuesday in a no-decision against the Brewers.

      Advice: Sánchez gave up only four hits with a third-inning ground out from Andruw Monasterio representing the lone tally against him in this one. He struck out three and only issued one walk. The 27-year-old lefty has been a model of consistency this season, allowing three earned runs or fewer in 11 of his 12 starts so far. He’ll bring a strong 2.71 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 59/21 K/BB ratio across 66 1/3 innings (12 starts) into a road matchup next Wednesday against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:08 pm
