  • Winds up with win
    Duran (3-2) picked up the win Tuesday against Tampa Bay, striking out two during a perfect ninth inning.

    Advice: Duran took the mound in the top of the ninth inning with the game tied 6-6 and didn't allow a hit for a fifth consecutive appearance. After Carlos Santana delivered a walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth, Duran ended up qualifying for his third win of the campaign. The Twins' closer is 11-for-11 on save chances this season and owns a 3.43 ERA across 21.0 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 5:24 am
     
  • Hit hard by Rays
    Lopez didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against Tampa Bay, allowing five runs on seven hits and a walk across four innings. He struck out three.

    Advice: Four of the five runs attributed to Lopez came via the long ball, with Randy Arozarena launching a three-run homer in the first inning and Brandon Lowe notching a solo home run in the fifth, marking Lopez's seventh consecutive start allowing a round-tripper. The 28-year-old has allowed five or more runs in four of his last six appearances, owning an 8.94 ERA during that stretch and ballooning his ERA to a career-worst 5.63 overall. He's lined up for a road start against the Athletics on Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 5:23 am
     
  • Pablo López hit hard on Tuesday in no-decision
    Pablo López was crushed for five runs over four innings on Tuesday in a no-decision the Rays.

    Advice: The ball was flying on Tuesday night at Target Field as López was tagged for seven hits, including a pair of homers, before a lengthy rain delay brought his outing to a close. He finished with three strikeouts and only issued one walk. The surface results haven’t been inspiring this season, but he still holds a strong 3.47 xFIP, which seems to indicate that he’s been extremely unlucky. He’ll aim to rebound this weekend with a tasty road tilt on Sunday against the Athletics out in Oakland. Rotoworld Today, 3:15 am
     
  • Tallies third homer
    Hayes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Tuesday against the Reds.

    Advice: Hayes tallied the Pirates' only run with a solo home run in the seventh inning -- his third of the season. The performance also extended his hitting streak to a modest five games, though he has no multi-hit performances in that span to go along with only two RBI and two runs scored. Hayes has a disappointing .084 ISO across 215 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:59 pm
     
  • Ke’Bryan Hayes homers in loss
    Ke’Bryan Hayes went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Hayes was the only one to get to Nick Lodolo on the day, hitting a 382-foot shot for his third home run on the season. The 27-year-old has not had the breakout season many were hoping for, but he is hitting .250 with two home runs and four steals in 14 games in June, so he has been putting together decent fantasy value. He makes a lot of contact and is likely headed to his third straight double-digit stolen base season, but the power may never develop with any consistency. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:09 pm
     
  • Ha-Seong Kim draws rare day off on Tuesday night
    Ha-Seong Kim is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Phillies.

    Advice: It’s an extremely rare day off for Kim, who has started every game for San Diego since May 23. The 28-year-old is struggling a little bit over the last few weeks, batting .213 (10-for-47) with two homers and six steals over his last 15 contests. It’ll be Tyler Wade drawing a rare start at shortstop on Tuesday evening against the Phillies. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:14 pm

  • Lands on injured list
    The Blue Jays placed Bichette on the 10-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to June 15, with a right calf strain.

    Advice: The 26-year-old hasn't seen the field since Friday due to the calf issue and will be sidelined for at least another week after being diagnosed with a strain. According to Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca, manager John Schneider expects Bichette to return from the injured list when first eligible June 25. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is starting at shortstop Tuesday and could operate as Toronto's primary option there for the immediate future, and Orelvis Martinez was called up and should also see infield action while Bichette is sidelined.

  • Blue Jays place Bo Bichette on IL with calf strain
    Blue Jays placed INF Bo Bichette on the 10-day injured list with a right calf strain.

    Advice: Bichette has been dealing with soreness in his right calf, and rather than wait for the infielder to get ready and play short-handed, the Blue Jays will take precaution and place the star shortstop on the injured list. He’ll miss at least a week, but a more concrete timeline should be available shortly. In the meantime, Orelvis Martinez is taking Bichette’s place on the active roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:23 pm
