    Davis was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Monday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Davis will now be available to be claimed off waivers and if he has no takers, Oakland is expected to release the 31-year-old. After being released by the Giants in March, Davis compiled a .236 average with four home runs, five RBI and 12 runs scored over 123 at-bats in 39 games with the Athletics this season.

  • Homers twice in win
    Schwarber went 2-for-3 with a pair of two-run homers and two walks in Monday's 9-2 win over the Padres.

    Advice: The veteran slugger got the scoring started for the Phillies in the third inning with a two-run blast off Randy Vasquez and later added another two-run homer off Adrian Morejon in the sixth. It was Schwarber's second multi-HR game this season and the 28th of his career. Schwarber batted .179 in his first seven games of June, but he's found his power stroke of late with five homers over his last seven contests. He's boosted his slash line to a season-best .253/.373/.457, and his 16 home runs are tied for fourth most in the National League. Rotowire.com Today, 6:46 pm
     
  • Kyle Schwarber homers twice, Phillies rout Padres
    Kyle Schwarber launched a pair of two-run homers on Monday, leading the Phillies to a 9-2 blowout victory over the Padres.

    Advice: Schwarber went deep off Padres starter Randy Vásquez deep in the third inning before taking reliever Adrian Morejon out a couple frames later to record his third multi-homer performance of the season. It’s the second time in the last week that he’s accomplished the feat. The 31-year-old slugger is up to 16 round-trippers on the year and is on pace to eclipse the 40-homer plateau for the third straight campaign. Rotoworld Today, 6:34 pm
     
  • Trea Turner tallies two hits on Monday in return
    Trea Turner went 2-for-5 with a run scored on Monday in his return to the Phillies lineup.

    Advice: Turner made an instant impact on Monday in his return to Philadelphia’s lineup following a six-week absence recovering from a left hamstring strain. The 30-year-old speedster’s stolen base totals may take a temporary hit as the Phillies keep a bit of a governor on his running for now, but his return is a much-needed lift for fantasy managers as injuries continue to pile up league-wide.

  • Mike Tauchman leaves due to left groin tightness
    Mike Tauchman exited Monday’s game due to left groin tightness, according to the Cubs.

    Advice: Everything is “tightness” now, so there’s no telling from the statement whether this is a day-to-day thing or a likely IL stint. Still, we’d lean towards the latter. Pete Crow-Armstrong would be the big beneficiary if Tauchman is forced to miss some time. Rotoworld Today, 6:22 pm
     
  • Tweaks groin Monday
    Tauchman (groin) left Monday's contest with the Giants in the bottom of the third inning with left groin tightness, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Tauchman hustled down the line to beat out an infield single in the bottom of the third, tweaking his left groin in the process. The 33-year-old will likely undergo imaging Monday night to determine the severity of the injury. Rotowire.com Today, 6:19 pm
