  • Receiving cortisone shot
    Carter's MRI revealed inflammation in his lower back, and he'll get a cortisone shot Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    Advice: This is positive news for the Rangers, as Carter could be back in the lineup within a few days if all goes well following the cortisone injection. He'll continue to be considered day-to-day until more information surfaces. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago

  • Evan Carter (back) hopes to play soon after MRI
    Evan Carter hopes to be ready to return later this week after an MRI revealed only inflammation in his lower back.

    Advice: Carter missed a third straight game Monday due to the back soreness. Travis Jankowski is picking up extra playing time in his place. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago

  • Contreras records three hits Monday
    William Contreras went 3-for-5 with a run scored in the Brewers’ loss to the Pirates on Monday.



    Advice: All three of Contreras’ hits were singles. He continues to hit as his average is up to .354 on the season. Contreras’ .426 BABIP this season is high even for him, a career .348 BABIP hitter. He’s a hitting machine right now, but this level of batting average shouldn’t be expected to continue for the rest of the season. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago
     
  • Headed for MRI
    Hoskins will undergo an MRI on his hamstring Tuesday morning, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Hoskins left Monday's series opener with a hamstring injury, but the severity of the issue remains unclear. Milwaukee should have a better idea of his availability going forward after reviewing Hoskins' test results. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago

  • Rhys Hoskins to undergo MRI on hamstring
    Rhys Hoskins said a hamstring injury caused him to leave Monday’s game and that he’ll have an MRI on Tuesday morning.

    Advice: Not good. One imagines the Brewers will bring Tyler Black back to the majors now. He was short-changed in his first opportunity, and he might well be a fine replacement for Hoskins. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago

  • Suwinski goes deep Monday
    Jack Suwinski went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in the Pirates’ win over the Brewers on Monday.



    Advice: Suwinski took Brewers starter Colin Rea deep with a man on and two outs in the first inning. It was his third home run of the season. Suwinski hit .224 with 26 home runs in 144 games last year. He could get hot, but right now his .178 average is untenable.

  • Reynolds has five-hit night
    Bryan Reynolds went 5-for-5 with two doubles, a home run and two RBI in the victory over the Brewers on Monday.



    Advice: Reynolds boosted his average to .256 on the season with this effort. His power was noticeably down this season as entering Monday his .145 ISO was 51 points lower than his career .196 ISO. Reynolds’ ISO is now up to .171 on the season. More games like this will help him get back to his career level quickly.

  • Homers again
    Lopez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run Monday against the Tigers.

    Advice: Lopez took advantage of his third-straight start in place of Tim Anderson by collecting his fourth hit and second homer during that short stretch of games. Lopez has played 17 games this season totaling 32 at-bats, hitting .313 with three homers, six RBI, eight runs and a steal. Lopez has displayed a nice hit tool throughout his seven-year rise through the minors, topping .300 in three separate seasons, but the recent power surge is not consistent with his expected profile.

  • Bryson Stott stays hot, Phillies edge Mets
    Bryson Stott went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and two RBI on Monday, powering the Phillies to a 5-4 win over the Mets in a 10-inning marathon.

    Advice: Stott delivered late for Philadelphia, taking Mets stopper Edwin Díaz deep to lead off the ninth inning before tacking on a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the ensuing frame to put the Phillies ahead for good in a back-and-forth slugfest at Citi Field. The 26-year-old infielder has been on an absolute heater of late, batting .433 (13-for-30) with one homer and five steals in nine contests since the start of May, which obviously doesn’t include a two-homer explosion back on April 28.
