    • Pops third homer
      Montero went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run in Tuesday's 13-7 loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: Montero has made three straight starts since Jordan Beck (hand) landed on the injured list, with two of those starts coming against righties. He's been productive in that short span, driving in four and also scoring four runs. Montero will need to continue to hit to maintain playing time, but the absence of Beck creates the possibility of more regular plate appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:21 am
       
    • Three hits in win
      Solano went 3-for-4 with an RBI double in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Marlins.

      Advice: Solano recorded two base hits and then capped off his night with a run-scoring double in the eighth to put the Friars up, 4-0. He's now driven in runs in back-to-back games for the first time this season and has reached base seven times in his last nine plate appearances. The 36-year-old remains a utility depth option for this team and is slashing .375/.474/.531 with three RBI, two runs and a 5:4 K:BB in 38 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:17 am

    • Makes rare start
      Smith started in right field and went 1-for-2 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to Texas.

      Advice: The start was Smith's first appearance of any kind since May 19 and 11th since being called up from Triple-A Reno on April 19. The lefty-batter doubled in the Diamondbacks' first run before being pinch hit for when a lefty entered the contest. Smith has a .244/.273/.415 line over 44 plate appearances.

    • Goes deep in loss
      Bryant went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 13-7 loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: Bryant has gone 6-for-28 (.214) over eight games since he returned from a back injury. His homer Tuesday was his first extra-base hit in that span. The 32-year-old is slashing a meager .173/.303/.280 with two homers, nine RBI, four runs scored and two doubles over 21 contests this season. For now, it looks like Bryant and Elehuris Montero will share first base and designated hitter. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:31 pm

    • Pavin Smith doubles, drives in one in loss
      Pavin Smith went 1-for-2 with a double and an RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Rangers.

      Advice: Smith doubled off Nathan Eovaldi in the second inning to drive in Christian Walker and give the Diamondbacks an early 1-0 lead. Smith has now tallied four hits in his last 13 at-bats and is well off the fantasy radar at this time. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:26 pm

    • Sitting versus southpaw
      Gallo is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

      Advice: Gallo had started 10 straight games since returning from the injured list, but he will begin Tuesday's game on the bench as Atlanta goes with Max Fried as its starting pitcher. Joey Meneses will cover first base. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:05 pm

    • Potential for playing time
      Montero went 1-for-3 with two RBI, a run scored and a walk in Monday's 8-6 win over the Guardians.

      Advice: Montero had been limited to a short-side platoon role since the return of Kris Bryant from the injured list, but he's started both of Colorado's games since Jordan Beck (hand) landed on the shelf. Beck's absence allows the Rockies to play Charlie Blackmon in right field and shift Kris Bryant to designated hitter, opening first base for Montero. However, Jake Cave and Hunter Goodman also remain options for the Rockies in right field, so consistent plate appearances are far from assured for Montero. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:22 am
       
    • Slugs first homer
      Solano went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Monday's 2-1 win over Miami.

      Advice: Solano came into the contest having gone 2-for-13 over his previous seven contests, but he broke the slump with a second-inning solo homer for the game's first run. The long ball was his first as a member of the Padres after joining the organization on a minor-league deal in mid-April. Solano has never been much of a power hitter, but he's consistently demonstrated good contact skills and is slashing .321/.441/.464 in limited opportunities this season. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:17 pm

    • Sitting vs. southpaw
      Cave is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Phillies.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Cave will begin Sunday's contest in the dugout as Philadelphia sends out left-hander Ranger Suarez. Hunter Goodman will start in right field in Cave's stead and will bat ninth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:41 am
