  • Struggles continue at Triple-A
    Wallner is hitting just .180/.265/.344 with five home runs in 33 games since being demoted to Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: Wallner began the season as Minnesota's starting right fielder, but was sent to the minors after hitting just 2-for-33 through 13 games. He had also struggled in spring training (5-for-38) and looked lost at the plate. Unfortunately except for one small hot streak in early May, he hasn't broken out of his funk. While he could still turn his season around and an injury or two in the majors could see him quickly get called up, it certainly doesn't appear like he's set to force his way back to the big leagues any time soon.

  • Swipes eighth bag
    Rosario went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double and a stolen base in Monday's victory over Atlanta. He also had one RBI and two runs scored.

    Advice: Rosario continues his resurgent May, managing to steal his eighth base of the season in the third inning. The veteran outfielder entered the game slashing .258/.319/.576 with six homers, six steals, 15 RBI and 14 runs scored in 73 plate appearances this month. Rosario's hot play should allow him to maintain a strong-side platoon role despite Lane Thomas (knee) returning from the injured list Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:10 pm
     
  • Yastrzemski has two-run double Monday
    Mike Yastrzemski went 1-for-3 with two runs scored and a two-run double against the Phillies on Monday.



    Advice: Yastrzemski started the scoring with a two-run double in the first inning. He’s having his worst season of his career so far with a .223 average and .673 OPS. Yastrzemski’s 30 percent strikeout percentage, .165 ISO and 94 wRC+ are all the worst of his career. He could lose playing time if he doesn’t turn it around soon.

  • Senzel has two hits, two RBI Monday
    Nick Senzel went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI against the Braves on Monday.

    Advice: Senzel hit a two-run double in the first inning to extend the Nationals lead to 4-0. He’s hitting just .221 and striking out a decent amount with a 24 percent strikeout percentage. Senzel is hitting for power, though, with a .183 ISO and his 111 wRC+ would be a career-high. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:01 pm

  • Duvall blasts fifth home run Monday
    Adam Duvall went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Nationals on Monday.



    Advice: The home run was Duvall’s fifth of the season. He was in right field for the Braves in their first game since Ronald Acuna Jr. went down with a season-ending injury. With Austin Riley and Sean Murphy back in the lineup, Duvall hit sixth. This wouldn’t be the first time Duvall has seen increased playing time in Acuna’s stead. He’s hitting just .209 with a .710 OPS on the season so far.

  • Cracks fourth homer
    Larnach went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Monday's win over the Royals.

    Advice: This marked Larnach's second straight start hitting leadoff, casting Edouard Julien into the eighth spot. The 27-year-old outfielder extended the Twins lead to five with a monstrous 441-foot, three-run homer off Royals starter Alec Marsh in the fifth inning. Overall, Larnach is slashing .270/.333/.427 in 99 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:25 pm
     
  • Drives in four
    Stowers went 3-for-4 with two doubles, four RBI and a run scored in Monday's 11-3 win against Boston.

    Advice: Stowers had mustered just one RBI and one run scored across 17 plate appearances since his promotion May 13, but the 26-year-old made the most of his opportunity Monday, slugging two extra-base hits and plating four runners in a career-best performance. Stowers has started two of the last three games and could continue to draw spot starts in the outfield against right-handed pitching, especially with performances like this one.

  • Starting rehab assignment
    Garcia (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Garcia is slated to play seven innings in what will be his first game action in a month. He seems likely to need a good number of rehab games before being activated, and Garcia's role upon his return appears cloudy. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:43 pm
     
  • Trevor Larnach wallops mammoth homer in victory
    Trevor Larnach slugged a three-run homer on Monday, powering the Twins to a - victory over the Royals.

    Advice: Larnach gave Minnesota a commanding five-run lead with a gargantuan 441-foot fifth-inning moonshot to right-center field off Royals starter Alec Marsh. It was the 27-year-old slugger’s first round-tripper since May 8. The absence of a true top-of-the-order table-setter has cracked the door open for Larnach to continue leading off against right-handed pitching, but he hasn’t produced enough yet to warrant consideration in shallow mixed leagues just yet.
