  • Derek Hill hits two homers in victory over Orioles
    Derek Hill launched a pair of homers against the Orioles in Sunday’s rout.

    Advice: Hill has started four of five games since returning to the majors Wednesday and gone 5-for-14 with three homers. That’s just one fewer homer than he had in 289 career major league at-bats coming into last week. It’s unlikely that he’ll make much of an impact in shallow leagues going forward, but since he can steal bases and has a clear path to playing time in the Texas outfield, he could help in deeper formats.

  • Ryan O’Hearn goes 3-for-4, knocks in run
    Starting against a lefty for the first time all season, Ryan O’Hearn went 3-for-4 with an RBI against the Rangers on Sunday.

    Advice: We’re still not sure why O’Hearn played and Ryan Mountcastle sat tonight, but O’Hearn came through nicely, picking up all three of his hits against lefties. He had been 2-for-15 versus southpaws this season. Rotoworld Today, 7:15 pm

  • Gunnar Henderson strikes out four times
    Gunnar Henderson lost his 36-game on-base streak by striking out all four times up against the Rangers on Sunday.

    Advice: All four strikeouts came against Andrew Heaney. It’s his first golden sombrero since Oct. 1, 2022. Rotoworld Today, 7:15 pm
     
  • Designated for assignment
    Barnhart was designated for assignment by the Diamondbacks on Sunday, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: Barnhart will now be placed on waivers and the other 29 teams in the league will have an opportunity to claim him. The catcher has produced a .173 average with two doubles, six RBI, 13 runs scored and a stolen base over 81 at-bats in 31 games with Arizona this season. With Barnhart's disappointing output at the plate this year, he'll be the odd man out with Gabriel Moreno (thumb) expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Jose Herrera will operate as the primary backup behind Moreno at catcher with the Diamondbacks. Rotowire.com Today, 7:07 pm
     
  • Diamondbacks to DFA Tucker Barnhart
    The Diamondbacks have decided to move on from Tucker Barnhart with Gabriel Moreno coming off the IL on Tuesday.

    Advice: Barnhart will be DFA’d, with Jose Herrera sticking around as Moreno’s backup. The 33-year-old has hit just .173/.287/.210 this season, though it’s not like that should have surprised the Diamondbacks; he came in at .215/.286/.264 the previous two years. Rotoworld Today, 6:56 pm

    Henry Davis is having his rehab stint put on hold as he attempts to return from a concussion.

    Advice: Davis was 0-for-6 with five strikeouts since joining Double-A Altoona on Wednesday. Expectations are that he’ll be optioned to Triple-A once healthy. Rotoworld Today, 6:21 pm

  • Taylor Ward (head) likely to play Tuesday
    Angels manager Ron Washington said after the game that Taylor Ward was fine after being hit in the helmet by a pitch.

    Advice: It sounds like Ward will be ready to go after the off day Monday. He left Sunday’s game in the ninth after a Shelby Miller fastball got him on the ear flap. Rotoworld Today, 5:40 pm
