    • Nationals designate Eddie Rosario for assignment
      Nationals designated OF Eddie Rosario for assignment

      Advice: The Nationals will move on from Rosario to clear a spot on their roster for top prospect James Wood. Rosario has had a really poor season for Washington, hitting .183/.226/.329 in 67 games; however, he does have seven home runs, eight steals, and a career-high average exit velocity of 90.6 mph. As a veteran left-handed hitter, Rosario is likely to find an opportunity somewhere as a bench bat. Perhaps his old team, the Atlanta Braves, will look to bring him back after injuries to Ronald Acuna Jr. and Michael Harris II. Rotoworld Today, 7:40 am
       
    • Removed from 40-man roster
      The Nationals designated Rosario for assignment Monday.

      Advice: He's clearing out to make room on the 40-man roster for top prospect James Wood, who was promoted from Triple-A Rochester. The 32-year-old put up a lowly .450 OPS in June and slashed just .183/.226/.329 over 235 plate appearances on the season for Washington. Rosario will clear waivers and become a free agent in the next few days, and he should be able to find another club willing to give him a shot. Rotowire.com Today, 6:21 am
       
    • Three hits in win
      Walker went 3-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 5-1 win over the Athletics.

      Advice: Walker ignited the scoring in the fourth with an RBI base knock and later extended Arizona's lead with another RBI single in the seventh. It was his seventh game in June with multiple hits and his fifth game of the year with a trio of base knocks. Walker has been a steady source of run production for the Diamondbacks this season, slashing .256/.330/.472 with 17 homers, 53 RBI, 49 runs and a 33:88 BB:K in 358 plate appearances.

    • Drives in three runs
      Bailey went 2-for-5 with two doubles, three RBI and a run scored in Sunday's win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Bailey did most of his damage during the Giants' five-run fourth inning, knocking a two-run double and coming around to score. He later capped off his day with an RBI double in the eighth. He'd been stuck in a 4-for-25 (.160) slump over his previous eight games since his last multi-hit effort June 20. Bailey is now slashing .284/.353/.433 with 17 extra-base hits and 28 RBI through 59 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:08 pm
       
    • Christian Walker plates two in victory over A’s
      Christian Walker went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI on Sunday, propelling the Diamondbacks to a 5-1 win over the Athletics.

      Advice: Walker kicked off the scoring in the fourth inning with a run-scoring single against Oakland starter Luis Medina before extending Arizona’s lead a couple frames later with another run-scoring single as part of a three-hit effort. The 33-year-old veteran first baseman remains a reliable source of over-the-fence pop and counting stats as he’s up to 17 homers and 53 RBI this season leading up to the All-Star break.

    • Shohei Ohtani goes 0-for-5 in loss to Giants
      Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts on Sunday in the Dodgers’ blowout loss to the Giants.

      Advice: We’re fairly confident he’s going to be just fine moving forward. There will be days like this, even for generational superstar like Ohtani, who launched his 26th round-tripper of the season during Saturday’s extra-inning win over the division-rival Giants. The 29-year-old slugger has gone deep nine times over his last 15 contests. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:37 pm
       
    • Patrick Bailey doubles twice, plates three in win
      Patrick Bailey went 2-for-5 with three RBI on Sunday in the Giants’ lopsided victory over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Bailey’s impressive offensive breakout continued in this one with run-scoring doubles in the fourth and eighth inning, respectively, as part of a 10-run, 16-hit offensive explosion for San Francisco in this one. The 25-year-old backstop holds an impressive .284/.353/.433 triple-slash line with six homers and two steals in 222 plate appearances through 59 games so far. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:36 pm
       
    • Burleson drives in a run in win over Reds Sunday
      Alec Burleson went 1-for-3 with an RBI against the Reds on Sunday.

      Advice: Burleson started the scoring with an RBI single in the fifth inning to put the Cardinals on the board. He’s 12-for-30 (.400) with 13 RBI in his last nine games. Burleson is hitting .278 with a .768 OPS and 38 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:01 pm

    • Regains regular role
      Ahmed will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Ahmed will pick up his third consecutive start, with Sunday's assignment coming against a lefty (James Paxton) after the prior two had come versus right-handed pitching. Though he had previously been occupying a short-side platoon role at shortstop with Brett Wisely, Ahmed should have shortstop all to himself for the foreseeable future with Wisely having moved over to second base following Thairo Estrada's (wrist) placement on the injured list Friday.
