    • Josh Hamilton has his worst game yet for the Angels on Tuesday, grounding into three double plays and striking out twice.
      Advice: Hamilton had at least one runner on every time up tonight, and he snuffed rallies at every single opportunity in the 3-2 loss. Manager Mike Scioscia may want to move him out of the two hole after this one. He may actually want to bat him ninth after this one.

    • Josh Hamilton went 2-for-5 with a homer, two runs scored and two RBI against the Mariners on Monday.
      Advice: Coming off a Sunday off-day against Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia, Hamilton teed off in an easier matchup, taking Aaron Harang deep for a two-run shot in the second. Hamilton owners, much like the Angels, are stuck in a holding pattern with the former top slugger. Nobody is going to take his .217/.273/.395 slash line off your hands and offer you value back, but it's unlikely that you have a more talented backup to insert into the lineup until Hamilton regains his stroke.

    • Hiram Burgos (shoulder) allowed two runs in four innings for High-A Brevard County on Tuesday in his second minor league rehab start.
      Advice: Burgos, who is working his way back from a right shoulder impingement, struck out four and walked none. It's not clear if he'll require another rehab start. The 25-year-old right-hander has a 6.44 ERA and 18/11 K/BB ratio in 29 1/3 innings over six starts this season.

    • Brian Roberts (knee, hamstring) began doing sprints Tuesday.
      Advice: Roberts has been hitting for a little while now, but he'll need to run without restrictions before being cleared to return to game action. As of now, he's hoping to begin a rehab assignment after the Orioles' roadtrip ends on Sunday.

    • Brian Roberts (knee, hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment on June 24.
      Advice: Roberts is five weeks removed from hamstring surgery and was recently cleared for hitting activities. The Orioles are hoping he can return sometime before the All-Star break.

    • Brian Roberts (knee, hamstring) hit Thursday and Friday.
      Advice: While that's good news, the real test is for him to run without any restrictions. It's not clear when he'll go out on a rehab assignment, but he's getting closer. The 35-year-old second baseman is a little over five weeks removed from hamstring surgery.

    • Nathan Eovaldi pitched six innings of two-run ball Tuesday against the Diamondbacks in his season debut.
      Advice: Back from a shoulder injury, Eovaldi allowed just three hits tonight and he made it through six innings in a modest 84 pitches. That he's a Marlin really cuts into his fantasy upside -- wins will be very difficult to come by -- but he should have a little value in NL-only leagues anyway.

    • Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) will be activated from the disabled list to start Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.
      Advice: Eovaldi has been out all year with shoulder inflammation, but he didn't have any setbacks during five rehab starts. He should be worth owning in NL-only leagues.

    • Despite striking out no one, Jeremy Bonderman gave up just one run over six innings Tuesday against the Angels.
      Advice: Bonderman allowed six hits, walked three and hit a batter, but he had Josh Hamilton hitting double-play balls to bail him out whenever things got tough. Just 52 of Bonderman's 92 pitches were strikes tonight, and that's not going to fly against most lineups.

    • Yoervis Medina pitched a perfect bottom of the 10th in a 3-2 game to earn the save as the Mariners edged the Angels on Tuesday.
      Advice: Medina might have been in line for the save in the ninth anyway, given that Oliver Perez was used to pitch a scoreless seventh with the Mariners up 2-1. Tom Wilhelmsen let that lead get away in the eighth, but the Mariners reclaimed it in the 10th after Erick Aybar couldn't quite get a handle on Kendrys Morales' sharp liner over his head. Medina went on to retire Albert Pujols, Mark Trumbo and Howie Kendrick in order for the save. He's now a candidate for more saves, though he has the same sort of control troubles as Wilhelmsen. Even after tonight, he's walked 11 in his last 13 1/3 innings of work.

    • Bud Norris told FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi that it would be a "dream come true" to pitch for the Giants.
      Advice: With the Astros in rebuilding mode, Norris is an obvious candidate to be traded this summer. While he's fully aware that he can't control his destiny, he would welcome a trade to the Giants, who could be in the market for pitching. "It gives you goose bumps when you think about it," said Norris. "Obviously growing up there, being a big Giants fan - and I rooted for the A's, too, in the area, but I was more of a Giants fan. That's a possibility. It's all trade rumors, as they say. But if it were to happen, it would be a dream come true for me to play for my childhood team." Norris, who is under team control through 2015, has a 3.64 ERA and 61/28 K/BB ratio in 89 innings across 15 starts this season.

    • Jarrod Parker allowed two runs over seven innings in a win against the Rangers on Tuesday.
      Advice: Parker had a miserable start to the season but has been just as terrific recently, as he's now turned in a quality start in each of his last eight outings. The right-hander limited the Rangers to three hits and two walks in his seven innings on Tuesday, striking out four. The win finally evened his record at 6-6 after he was 1-5 at one point. He'll take on the Mariners Sunday in Seattle.

    • Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports that people who have spoken with MLB investigators feel it's likely that "at least some" suspensions will be issued in the Biogenesis case.
      Advice: MLB has begun interviewing players associated with the case, though they have yet to talk to Ryan Braun or Alex Rodriguez, seemingly because they want to gather enough evidence before confronting them. Interestingly, Heyman notes that MLB officials believe the league's Joint Drug Agreement may allow it to announce suspensions before any appeal process because the names involved have already been leaked. The MLBPA obviously wouldn't be happy with that. While Braun and Rodriguez have garnered most of the attention in the case, Melky Cabrera, Bartolo Colon, Yasmani Grandal, Nelson Cruz, Jhonny Peralta, Everth Cabrera, Francisco Cervelli, Jesus Montero are among the other players who have been connected to the now-shuttered clinic.

    • Ryan Braun (thumb) will be shut down from baseball activities for at least the next week.
      Advice: Braun is dealing with a nerve issue in his right hand, and the Brewers are hopeful that the symptoms will subside with some extra rest. If they don't, he'll just have to play through the ailment. "If it gets better, he'll start swinging again and then take BP," manager Ron Roenicke said. "Maybe when he comes off, it will go away. If not, he'll have to play and fight through it." Logan Schafer will see the bulk of the time in left field while Braun is out.

    • Brewers placed OF Ryan Braun on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 9, with a right thumb contusion.
      Advice: Braun has been dealing with the injury for quite some time now, and the team feels it's in his best interest to shut him down completely and let it heal. Assuming he doesn't suffer any setbacks, Braun should still be expected to return before the end of June. Logan Schafer has been filling in while Braun was sidelined, and sees a substantial boost to his fantasy value while receiving everyday at-bats.

    • Everth Cabrera (hamstring) is expected to be placed on the disabled list Wednesday.
      Advice: Cabrera injured his left hamstring during Sunday's game and will now receive some extended rest. It's too bad, as the 26-year-old is in the midst of a breakout season. Alexi Amarista and Pedro Ciriaco figure to split playing time at shortstop during his absence.

    • Everth Cabrera (hamstring) is not in the Padres' lineup Monday.
      Advice: Cabrera tweaked his left hamstring during Sunday's game. The shortstop thinks he could play through the ailment, but the Padres will give him a few days off as a precaution. "I feel like I can play but I don't want to play at 50 percent," Cabrera said. Pedro Ciriaco is starting at shortstop Monday.

    • Dylan Axelrod allowed five runs -- four earned -- over six innings in a no-decision against the Twins on Tuesday.
      Advice: Axelrod was actually somewhat fortunate to allow just the four earned runs, as he surrendered 10 hits and two walks on the night. The right-hander has hit a bit of a rough stretch, as he hasn't gotten a win since May 26. He'll try to correct that Sunday in Kansas City.

    • Ryan Vogelsong had all five pins removed from his surgically-repaired right hand on Tuesday.
      Advice: That's good news for Vogelsong, who originally expected to only have two or three pins removed. He'll now have the ability to perform more mobility and flexibility exercises, some of them earlier than expected. As of now, the Giants are hoping to get Vogelsong back near the end of July.

    • Ryan Vogelsong will have an exam on Tuesday in hopes that he'll be allowed to remove two of the five pins from his surgically-repaired right hand.
      Advice: "Hopefully there's some pins coming out tomorrow," he said Monday. "That's the plan, but obviously I don't know for sure until I get some X-rays tomorrow and see how things are healing." If Vogelsong is able to get the pins removed, he'll begin additional mobility exercises. The Giants are hoping to get him back in late July.

    • Paul Goldschmidt homered off Chad Qualls in the bottom of the ninth to give the Diamondbacks a 3-2 win over the Marlins on Tuesday.
      Advice: Does it still count as a walkoff homer when it comes off Qualls? We'll assume it does. The homer, Goldschmidt's 17th, snapped the Diamondbacks' four-game losing streak. He's batting just .232 in 69 at-bats this month, but he's driven in 20 runs anyway.

    • Brandon Crawford (fingers) is expected to miss Wednesday's game.
      Advice: Crawford sprained the index and middle fingers on his right hand during Tuesday's win over the Padres. His fingers were swollen and he couldn't grip a ball, but it sounds like there's a chance he could return Thursday. Consider him day-to-day for the time being.

      Advice: Crawford suffered the ailment during a stolen base attempt in the second inning. It's not clear at this point how serious it is. The Giants should have an update on his status after the game.

    • Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said on 106.7 The Fan on Wednesday that Bryce Harper (knee) will resume baseball activities in "the next day or two."
      Advice: Harper continues to make progress, as he was cleared to progress toward running following a visit to the team doctor earlier this week. While he could begin baseball activities within the next couple of days, there's no timetable for him to return to game action. The 20-year-old outfielder has been sidelined since May 26 with left knee bursitis.

    • Bryce Harper (knee) has been cleared to resume strengthening activities.
      Advice: Harper experienced "a little puffiness" in his left knee while doing range of motion exercises on Saturday, but that wasn't a cause for alarm. The 20-year-old will now progress from walking and jogging to running and other baseball activities. It's not clear how long the process will take, but if he keeps improving, it could happen quickly. A return before the end of the month appears realistic.

    • Nationals manager Davey Johnson said Bryce Harper had "a little puffiness" in his left knee after doing some range of motion exercises on Saturday.
      Advice: Johnson was quick to point out that the team's training staff wasn't concerned, as some minor swelling seemed to be expected. Harper will resume baseball activities early this week before hopefully beginning a rehab assignment before the end of the week. Harper hasn't played since May 26, when he aggravated his left knee bursitis.

    • Bryce Harper (knee) plans on testing his injured knee when the team travels to Philadelphia next week.
      Advice: Manager Davey Johnson also said that Harper could perform baseball activities at that time if he's feeling up to it. If all goes well with that, he could be cleared for a minor league rehab assignment. He was given platelet-rich plasma and cortisone shots in the knee on Monday, and had to be shut down completely for one week. If everything goes smoothly, he could return to the Nationals' lineup before the end of the month.
