    • Big effort in win
      McKinstry went 2-for-4 with a triple and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: McKinstry launched his first home run of the season in the second inning, then followed with his second triple of the year in the fourth. While Javier Baez is still the team's primary option at shortstop, McKinstry has managed to carve out a sizeable role amid Baez's struggles at the plate. McKinstry is probably best suited as a utility player, however, so he likely will continue to move around the field rather than replace Baez altogether. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

    • Ozzie Albies homers in win over Red Sox
      Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in a win over the Red Sox on Tuesday.

      Advice: Albies hit a 401-foot shot that left the bat at 104.4 mph for his fourth home run of the season. The second baseman has just 29 RBI on the season to go along with a .275/.339/.410 slash line. He’s one of a surprising list of Braves players who haven’t been hitting at their usual level so far this season. There’s not much you can do in fantasy leagues; Albies is a talented player in a good lineup who should get it going over the summer. He’s highly unlikely to reach the 30+ home runs he’s hit in each of his last two fully healthy seasons, but he could put together another solid fantasy season. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
       
    • Ends power drought
      Albies went 2-for-3 with a double, a three-run home run and an additional run during Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Red Sox.

      Advice: Albies went yard for the first time in 22 games, plating Austin Riley and Marcel Ozuna in the sixth inning on a three-run shot off Kutter Crawford. He's been swinging a hot bat as of late, batting .324 with five doubles, six RBi and five runs scored in his last 10 games. After slugging a career-high 33 homers last season, Albies has just four round-trippers in 50 games in 2024 and his slugging percentage has dropped from .513 to .410.

    • Brandon Lowe homers off a lefty in win
      Brandon Lowe went 2-for-4 with a home run and five RBI in a win over the Marlins on Tuesday.

      Advice: Despite the Marlins starting left-hander Jesus Luzardo, the Rays decided to keep Brandon Lowe in the lineup. The 29-year-old rewarded them with a 377-foot blast that left the bat at 108.7 mph for a three-run home run. He later added a two-run double, also off Luzardo, which was hit 107 mph. Lowe has frequently been on the bench against lefties, so the fact that Tampa Bay even chose to start him against Luzardo is one thing, but the fact that it went as well as it did is another. We wouldn’t overreact to one start, but if Lowe is going to play against lefties, that would give him more fantasy value than we had anticipated. Rotoworld Today, 7:13 pm
       
    • Norby’s first career hit a homer vs. Blue Jays
      Connor Norby went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Norby’s first career homer also marked the first hit of his career. The 23-year-old infielder was called up earlier this week after the Orioles lost Jorge Mateo (concussion) to the injured list. He’s 1-for-7 at the plate through his first two games with two strikeouts, but he’ll have a few more games to prove he’s the man for the job going forward before Mateo is set to return.

    • Tyler Freeman homers in win over Royals
      Tyler Freeman went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a win over the Royals on Tuesday.

      Advice: Freeman greeted Seth Lugo in the sixth inning with a 402-foot shot that left the bat at 102.3 mph. It was his fifth home run on the season, and now has 24 RBI to go along with a .219/.308/.358 slash line. Freeman has been trending up in recent weeks but with the renewed health fo Steven Kwan and Andres Gimenez, Freeman has moved back down to the bottom third of the lineup, which will limit his opportunities for runs and RBI.

    • Luis Arraez returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Angels
      Luis Arraez (shoulder) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Angels.

      Advice: Arraez is back at designated hitter and leading off on Tuesday night in Los Angeles following a brief one-game absence due to relatively minor right shoulder and neck issues. The 27-year-old contact-oriented infielder has been excellent since arriving in San Diego, batting .391 (43-for-110) with one homer and three steals across 26 contests.

    • Returning to action Tuesday
      Estrada (thumb) is starting at second base and batting second Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Estrada sat out the previous three games with a jammed thumb but is ready to take the field Tuesday in Arizona. The 28-year-old finished May on a modest four-game hit streak and went 7-for-17 with a double, an RBI and a run during that span. Rotowire.com Today, 3:42 pm
       
    • Rejoining lineup Tuesday
      Arraez (shoulder/neck) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Angels.

      Advice: The 27-year-old sat out Monday's contest due to the shoulder/neck injury he suffered on a slide Sunday, and he'll be eased back into the lineup Tuesday in a non-defensive capacity. Arraez is in the midst of an eight-game hit streak, during which he's batting .375 with no extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs. Rotowire.com Today, 3:38 pm
