  • Brings it once again
    Hudson threw two scoreless innings of relief and picked up his 11th hold of the season in Wednesday's victory over the Angels. He allowed a hit, struck out a batter and walked none.

    Advice: Hudson allowed two earned runs in his final appearance of May, but he gave up only two all season prior to that, and he has not allowed even one through 8.0 innings in June. Add it all up and Hudson now owns a minuscule 0.90 to along with a 0.65 WHIP and 46:8 K:BB over 40.0 innings out of Milwaukee's bullpen. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Latches on with Yankees
    The Yankees signed Hill to a one-year contract Thursday.

    Advice: Hill was cut loose by the White Sox earlier this week after collecting a 5.87 ERA and 13:10 K:BB over 23 innings. He wasn't out of a job long, however, and will go directly onto the major-league roster. Hill has had a rough two-year stretch, but he's been an effective reliever in the past and the Yankees will see if the 34-year-old has more in the tank. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Swipes second bag
    Robert went 2-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base Wednesday against the White Sox.

    Advice: Robert has popped five home runs in 14 games since returning from the injured list, but he's otherwise been a poor source of fantasy value. He has a 39.3 percent strikeout in that span and is hitting just .184. Positively, Robert did swipe his first base since returning and his second of the season. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Long starting streak comes to end
    Castro is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: For the first time since April 15, Castro will head to the bench, ending a streak of 59 consecutive starts. Though he opened the season in a utility role, Castro has solidified an everyday role thanks to his positional versatility and solid production at the plate. Austin Martin will enter the lineup at second base in place of Castro, who has been dialed in of late with a .368/.429/.605 slash line to go with one home run, six doubles, one stolen base, nine runs and four RBI over his last nine starts.

  • Taking seat Thursday
    Correa is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: After seeing his nine-game hitting streak come to an end with an 0-for-5 performance in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning loss, Correa will get a breather for the series finale with Tampa Bay. Kyle Farmer will spell him at shortstop Thursday. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Homers twice in rehab game
    Mitchell (finger) homered twice in a rehab game with Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

    Advice: Mitchell has played five rehab games with Nashville after being transferred there from the Brewers' Arizona Complex League affiliate. He's gone 5-for-22 with two home runs and two stolen bases in those contests, playing both center field and right field in addition to designated hitter. Mitchell will remain at Nashville for the time being, per Adam McCalvy of MLB.com, but a return to the major-league roster shouldn't be far off. Out all season with a fractured finger, Mitchell is a viable stash in fantasy leagues where he's still available. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
     
  • Pops fifth homer
    Benintendi went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Astros.

    Advice: Benintendi has started in five games since being activated from the injured list June 12, and he's gone 4-for-12 with two of his knocks going for extra bases. Even with the positive stretch, he's hitting just .203 with 19 RBI and 15 runs scored across 56 games for the season. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
     
  • Third opinion recommends surgery
    Gasser is mulling whether to have surgery on his left elbow after a third opinion concurred with the second that an operation is likely needed at some point, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Gasser is dealing with UCL damage in the elbow and the Brewers are leaving the decision of surgery or rest and rehab up to the left-hander. He's been shut down from throwing for nearly three weeks already, so Gasser is facing a lengthy ramp-up even if he opts for the non-surgical route. If he decides to have surgery, Gasser would likely be sidelined for at least a year. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
     
  • Still limited to small-side platoon
    McCormick went 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Wednesday against the White Sox.

    Advice: McCormick was in the lineup because Houston was facing lefty Garret Crochet, though he remains on the small-side of a platoon with Trey Cabbage. As a result, McCormick has started only six of the team's last 10 games, during which he's hit .250 with one home run, five RBI and five runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 6:57 am
