  • Playing time dwindling
    Montero is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Houston.

    Advice: It marks the fourth straight game that Montero has been out of the lineup, although he did make one pinch-hitting appearance over that stretch. The recent emergence of Michael Toglia has put the squeeze on Montero's playing time, and his .581 OPS hasn't helped, either. Rotowire.com Today, 11:42 am
  • Racks up three hits in win
    Donovan went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Monday's 4-3 win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Donovan has been dialed in for much of June. He's hit safely in 17 of his last 18 games, going 26-for-71 (.366) with seven extra-base hits and 14 RBI in that span. The 27-year-old is up to a .269/.333/.420 slash line with eight home runs, 39 RBI, 35 runs scored, 17 doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 72 contests. While he's mostly lost out on leadoff opportunities to Masyn Winn, Donovan is still hitting well deeper in the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 9:51 am

  • Goes on injured list
    Atlanta placed Anderson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with a bacterial infection.

    Advice: Anderson probably doesn't need a full 10 days to recover, but the club decided to deactivate him rather than continuing to play a man short. Luke Williams was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett and will replace Anderson on the 26-man active roster. Rotowire.com Today, 9:17 am

  • Braves place Anderson on IL with bacterial infection
    Braves placed INF Brian Anderson on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 22, with a bacterial infection.

    Advice: Anderson was not with Atlanta Monday while dealing with the lower-body infection, and he’ll now be out for at least a week while recovering. The 31-year-old is replaced on the roster by Luke Williams, with Williams being recalled from Triple-A in the corresponding transaction. Rotoworld Today, 9:11 am

  • In line for more work
    Short went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's loss to St. Louis.

    Advice: Orlando Arcia left the game in the sixth inning complaining of dizziness, and Short took over at shortstop and as the No. 9 hitter. It was his first game action since June 5, and with Arcia likely to get at least Tuesday's game off, the 29-year-old utility infielder should pick up his first start since May 25. Short's .150/.320/.200 slash line in 50 plate appearances since joining Atlanta suggests he won't be much more than a DFS punt play, however. Rotowire.com Today, 6:44 am

  • Clubs eighth homer
    Riley went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: The slugging third baseman took Lance Lynn deep in the fifth inning, but it was the only extra-base hit Atlanta managed on the night. Riley is having one of his patented hot streaks, launching five of his eight homers on the season over the last 10 games while slashing .441/.513/1.000 with four doubles, 10 RBI and 10 runs.

  • Drives in three in win
    Steer went 2-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Monday's 11-5 win over Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Steer sparked the Reds' offense with a two-run double in the fourth inning, then singled in a run as part of the team's four-run sixth. Following a 13-game stretch in which he had just three RBI, Steer has knocked in five over the last three games. He leads Cincinnati with 48 RBI, which ranks 20th overall in MLB.

  • Sparks comeback with homer
    Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Monday's 5-4 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Chapman hasn't had a hitting streak longer than three games in June, and he's batting just .219 for the month. He's trending upward with multiple hits in two over his last three games, and he ended a 25-game homer drought with his fifth-inning blast Monday. The third baseman has a .233/.313/.394 slash line with nine long balls, 31 RBI, 50 runs scored, 20 doubles and six stolen bases through 76 contests this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:55 pm
  • Swats homer in loss
    Senzel went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 extra-inning loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Senzel went deep in the top of the 10th inning to give the Nationals a 6-3 lead, but the Padres rallied back for a walk-off. After starting June hot, Senzel has gone a mere 4-for-32 over his last 10 contests. The 28-year-old is slashing .218/.324/.385 with seven homers, 18 RBI, 22 runs scored and one stolen base over 207 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:25 pm
