  • Nolan Jones collects two hits in Rockies’ win
    Nolan Jones went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and a walk versus the Brewers on Monday.

    Advice: The second hit also would have been at least a double, but it hit first base umpire Brian O’Nora on its way down the first base line, resulting in a single. Jones has had issues with strikeouts since coming off the IL last month, but he’s hitting the ball harder than he did in April and drawing a bunch of walks (12 in 15 games). He should prove pretty useful in mixed leagues the rest of the way. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago

  • Giants outright Trenton Brooks
    Giants sent 1B Trenton Brooks outright to Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: Brooks was DFA’d last week after going 3-for-25 in his first major league stint. It’s his first outright assignment, so he’ll go back to being a key cog in the River Cats’ lineup. Rotoworld Today, 6:03 pm
     
  • Throws, hits in cage
    Bryant (oblique) did some throwing and hit in the batting cage Monday, Kyle Newman of The Denver Post reports.

    Advice: There remains no timetable for Bryant's return to action, but he does appear to be making progress as he works his way back from a left oblique strain. Bryant has already missed nearly a month of action and will require a rehab assignment before being activated. Rotowire.com Today, 3:06 pm

  • Hunter Goodman sits for Rockies on Monday
    Hunter Goodman is back on the bench Monday after making his first start in four games Sunday.

    Advice: It’s like the Rockies stopped viewing Goodman as an option at first base and in right field after Elias Díaz got hurt last month and still haven’t changed that mindset, even though Díaz is back now. Goodman last started at a position other than catcher on June 10. Obviously, Jake Cave is just too good to sit. Rotoworld Today, 2:38 pm

  • Playing time trending down
    Goodman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: From June 15 through June 25, Goodman made nine starts at either catcher or designated hitter over a 10-game stretch and slashed .310/.333/.862 with five home runs, 10 RBI and seven runs. Despite his recent success, Goodman's avenue to regular playing time at either spot now appears to be blocked with the returns Elias Diaz and Charlie Blackmon from the injured list over the weekend. Goodman will take a seat for the fourth time in five games, and his starting opportunities could be largely limited to left-handed pitching moving forward now that the Rockies have regained health.

  • Brewers designate Owen Miller for assignment
    Brewers designated INF/OF Owen Miller for assignment.

    Advice: With Garrett Mitchell coming off the 60-day IL, the Brewers needed an extra spot on the 40-man roster, so they decided to move on from Miller, who had been sent to Triple-A at the end of May. Miller had started the year strong for Milwaukee but is hitting just .185 on the season with a 39 percent strikeout rate. He’ll hope to get a shot with another organization. Rotoworld Today, 11:37 am

  • Sent outright to Triple-A
    The Giants outrighted Brooks to Triple-A Sacramento on Monday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Brooks passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment and will remain in the organization. The first baseman went 3-for-25 at the plate during his time with the Giants before he was moved off the 40-man roster. Rotowire.com Today, 11:36 am
     
  • Brewers send Tyler Black to minors (again)
    Brewers optioned INF Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Black got his second chance with the Brewers this season but rarely played, going 3-for-11 and sitting this entire week before being demoted to make room for Garrett Mitchell to come off the IL. Black has the tolls to be a useful fantasy player, but he might not get the opportunity this season. Rotoworld Today, 11:31 am

  • Returns off bench Sunday
    Drury (illness) went 0-for-2 with a strikeout in a loss to Detroit on Sunday.

    Advice: Drury sat out nine straight games due to an illness before returning to action Sunday. He didn't start but entered as a pinch hitter in the sixth inning and remained in the contest for another at-bat as the team's DH. Per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Drury is expected to return to the starting lineup Tuesday against the Athletics. Rotowire.com Today, 10:06 am
