  • Launches third homer
    Joe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Oakland.

    Advice: Joe tagged Alex Wood for a solo shot in the first inning, marking his third long ball in 100 plate appearances this season. He's on pace to exceed his career-high home run total of 11, which he achieved in 472 plate appearances last season. During his last five games, Joe is batting 6-for-19 (.316) with a pair of doubles and Tuesday's home run. Rotowire.com Today, 9:58 pm

  • Swats three-run homer
    Naylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 10-9 loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Naylor launched his seventh home run of the campaign and scored multiple times for the second time this season. Even with Naylor's long ball, he's batting 3-for-22 (.136) over his last six games. However, he's added a pair of stolen bases and has struck out four times to three walks during that stretch.

  • Drives in five in twin bill
    Burleson went 3-for-9 with a home run and five RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader split against the Tigers.

    Advice: After going 1-for-4 with an RBI single in the matinee, Burleson went deep off Tyler Holton in the fifth inning of the nightcap. Burleson's two-hit game in the second contest was his first multi-hit performance since April 10, and on the season the 25-year-old outfielder is slashing .273/.324/.394 through 24 games with two homers, four runs and 10 RBI.

  • Enters for injured teammate
    Dalbec entered Tuesday's game in the bottom of the fifth inning after Garrett Cooper was hit by a pitch on the wrist. Dalbec stole a base and was hit by a pitch in his lone plate appearance.

    Advice: The early word on Cooper's injury is a contusion, and it's unclear how much time he'll need. The development puts Dalbec back on the fantasy radar; he had been the primary first baseman prior to Boston acquiring Cooper last week. Rotowire.com Today, 7:13 pm

  • Remains out Tuesday
    Sano (knee) isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.

    Advice: Knee inflammation will cause Sano to miss his fourth consecutive game, and the 30-year-old infielder could end up on the injured list if he's unable to return to the lineup soon. Cole Tucker will serve as the Angels' DH and bat seventh while Sano sits. Rotowire.com Today, 6:48 pm

  • Dealing with wrist contusion
    Cooper (wrist) suffered a right wrist contusion in Tuesday's matchup with the Giants, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Cooper was hit by a pitch in the bottom of the fifth inning, forcing him to be removed from his Red Sox debut early. The 33-year-old is likely set to undergo some additional imaging on his wrist, which will provide a better understanding of his status moving forward. In the meantime, Bobby Dalbec replaced Cooper at first base and would see an extended role in his absence. Rotowire.com Today, 5:47 pm
