  • Nick Nastrini struggles in loss to Blue Jays
    Nick Nastrini surrendered three runs over five innings on Monday in a loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Nastrini coughed up homers to George Springer and Bo Bichette, which accounted for all of the damage against him over five frames. He struck out five and also issued four walks. He’s in line to take the ball on Sunday against the Brewers at American Family Field and isn’t a recommended fantasy option at this juncture give his initial struggles in his first taste of the majors.

  • Returns to action Monday
    Wade (hamstring) will start at first base and bat second in Monday's game versus the Phillies.

    Advice: Wade had to exit a game this past Friday after tweaking his hamstring, causing him to miss the next two contests. He's feeling well enough to give it a go in this one, though, as the Giants take on right-hander Taijuan Walker and the Phillies. Rotowire.com Today, 11:09 am

  • Adam Duvall gets start in RF after Acuna injury
    Braves are giving Adam Duvall the first start in right field after the Ronald Acuna Jr. injury.

    Advice: Duvall is starting in right field and batting sixth while Jarred Kelenic starts in left field and hits ninth. While it’s Duvall who is starting in right field, it’s noteworthy that Kelenic is in the lineup against a left-handed starter. It seems as though Kelenic could be emerging as a potential full-time player with Acuna Jr. out. Rotoworld Today, 10:22 am

  • Launches eighth homer
    Abrams went 1-for-4 with a three run home run in Sunday's 9-5 loss to Seattle.

    Advice: Abrams broke out of a minor slump Sunday, slugging his first home run since April 29 and recording his first RBI since May 18. He has cooled off significantly in the month of May, slashing .209/.225/.256 with four RBI and eight runs scored. Despite the recent struggles, the 23-year-old has still had a productive season, batting .257 with eight home runs, 21 RBI, 30 runs scored and eight stolen bases. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:38 pm

  • Sticking around in rotation
    Nastrini is scheduled to start Monday's game against the Blue Jays in Chicago, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: He'll be getting a second straight turn through the rotation -- and a second straight matchup with the Blue Jays -- despite giving up nine runs (eight earned) on seven hits and six walks over 3.1 innings upon being called up from Triple-A Charlotte ahead of last Wednesday's game in Toronto. Nastrini has shown the ability to make bats miss at a high clip at every stop of the minor-league ladder, but he's often struggled with his control. Walks have been an even greater concern for Nastrini through his first three big-league outings, as he's already issued 13 free passes in just 11.1 innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:06 pm
     
  • Set for increased playing time
    Duvall went 1-for-5 with a solo home run Sunday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Duvall blasted an eighth-inning 1-0 offering by Pirates reliever Aroldis Chapman over the wall in left-center for his fourth home run of the season. Duvall, who earned the start with lefty Martin Perez starting the game on the hill, is set to earn additional playing time in the near future, as Ronald Acuna left the game with a knee injury and is slated for a stint on the IL.

  • Blake Snell activated off of paternity list

    Advice: Snell was away from the team for three days. He’s back and will make a start this week against the Phillies. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:02 am
     
  • Returns from paternity list
    Snell (personal) was reinstated from the paternity list Sunday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: According to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle, Snell is still awaiting the birth of his baby, despite stepping away from the team for the last three days in anticipation of welcoming a new addition to his family. The left-hander was placed on the paternity list a day after he made his most recent start Wednesday against the Pirates, but he won't end up missing a turn now that he's back on the active roster. He's expected to take the hill Monday against the Phillies, though he could go back on the paternity list during the upcoming week if his child ends up being born.

  • Getting breather Sunday
    Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Yastrzemski will take a seat for the series finale while southpaw Sean Manaea takes the hill for the Mets. Ryan McKenna will replace Yastrzemski in right field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:15 am
