    • Taking seat Thursday
      Stanton is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Kansas City.

      Advice: Stanton homered in the second and third games of the series but has bookended that with days off in the first and now the fourth games. Aaron Judge will get a day at designated hitter, with Trent Grisham patrolling center field. Rotowire.com Today, 8:32 am
       
    • Nails down 16th save
      Kimbrel struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his 16th save of the season in a 4-2 win over Atlanta.

      Advice: Facing the team he made his debut with back in 2010, Kimbrel delivered his 12th straight appearance without allowing an earned run. The hot streak has lowered the veteran closer's ERA on the season to 2.59, to go along with a 0.95 WHIP and 34:10 K:BB through 24.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 7:19 am
       
    • Homers in second straight game
      Stanton went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run Wednesday in an 11-5 win over the Royals.

      Advice: Stanton flexed his power with a 449-foot two-run blast in the fifth inning. It was his second straight game with a home run after an ugly weekend set against the Dodgers during which he went 0-for-14 with seven punchouts. Stanton is up to 17 homers and 40 RBI on the campaign along with a .233/.288/.491 slash line. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:42 pm

      Shohei Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a solo homer against the Rangers on Wednesday.

      Advice: Ohtani put the Dodgers on the board with a solo homer off Jon Gray in the first inning. It was one of only two runs the Dodgers would score on Texas in the game. The 29-year-old superstar is slashing .311/.383/.587 with 17 homers, 51 runs scored, 44 RBI, and 15 steals across 300 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:13 pm
       
    • Giancarlo Stanton goes yard in blowout win
      Giancarlo Stanton went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer against the Royals on Wednesday.

      Advice: Stanton took Daniel Lynch deep for a two-run shot in the fifth inning to extend the Yankees big lead over the Royals. He then knocked a base hit in the seventh and scored on a three-run blast by Gleyber Torres. It was Stanton’s second straight game with two hits and one homer. The 34-year-old slugger is slashing .233/.288/.491 with 17 homers and 40 RBI across 250 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:03 pm
       
    • MRI comes back clean for Jurickson Profar (knee)
      Jurickson Profar (knee) underwent a precautionary MRI exam on his injured knee on Wednesday that came back clean for any structural damage.

      Advice: Padres’ fans and fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief, as one of the biggest surprises of the first half of the season won’t miss substantial time. He’s still considered day-to-day and should return to the Padres’ lineup at some point over the weekend. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:00 pm
       
    • Hits go-ahead homer in win
      Bellinger went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run in a 4-3 win over Tampa Bay on Wednesday.

      Advice: With the Cubs trailing 2-1 with two outs in the seventh inning, Bellinger changed the game with a three-run home run off Tampa Bay reliever Garrett Cleavinger then added a single in the ninth. While the homer was his first in June, Bellinger now has four straight multi-hit efforts for a total of five in 10 contests this month. On the season, Bellinger is slashing .267/.324/.456 with nine home runs and 32 RBI in 238 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:41 pm

    • Cody Bellinger powers Cubs past Rays
      Cody Bellinger went 2-for-5 and hit a three-run homer in the seventh to lead the Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the Rays on Wednesday.

      Advice: The homer came off Garrett Cleavinger, a lefty who hadn’t previously allowed one in 27 innings this season. It was Bellinger’s ninth in 54 games. He’s not doing anything quite as well as he did last year, but that was probably to be expected. He’s still been a fine regular for the Cubs, and he might offer more to fantasy leaguers if he gets back to stealing more bases; he has three right now after finishing with 20 last year.
