  • 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
     
  • 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
     
  • Leaves early Monday
    Tauchman (undisclosed) exited Monday's contest with the Giants in the bottom of the third inning, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Tauchman pulled up lame after legging out a two-out infield single in the bottom of the third, leaving the game after going 1-for-1 with a walk in the contest. He appeared to be grabbing at his left leg, but an exact diagnosis will likely come before the end of Monday's contest. In the meantime, Patrick Wisdom replaced Tauchman in the Cubs' lineup at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 5:59 pm
     
  • Mike Tauchman leaves game with leg injury
    Mike Tauchman left Monday’s game in the third inning with an apparent left leg injury.

    Advice: Patrick Wisdom pinch-ran after Tauchman was hurt beating out an infield single. A Tauchman IL trip might give Pete Crow-Armstrong mixed-league value for a time. Rotoworld Today, 5:58 pm
     
  • Dodgers expect Betts (hand) to miss 6-8 weeks
    The Dodgers’ current guess is that Mookie Betts will miss 6-8 weeks with a fractured left hand.

    Advice: Sounds about right. The Dodgers will mostly go with Miguel Rojas at shortstop for now; manager Dave Roberts said he’d start three of the four games in Colorado this week. Enrique Hernández figures to get the nod in the other. Rotoworld Today, 5:23 pm
     
  • Back on bench Monday
    Cave is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Cave had started in 11 of the Rockies' last 12 games, but he'll head to the bench with Nolan Jones having returned from the injured list and with Brenton Doyle (knee) back in the lineup after a two-game absence. Though Cave has turned in a serviceable .250/.341/.389 slash line thus far in June, he could be relegated to a bench role now that Colorado has reclaimed some health in the outfield.
