  • Homers in return
    Westburg went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Rays.

    Advice: Westburg was out of the lineup for two games with a hand injury, but it didn't seem to be bothering him in Saturday's win. He's gone 10-for-22 (.455) with two homers and seven RBI over his last six games, posting three multi-hit efforts in that span. The infielder continues to hit well despite often being in the bottom half of the order. He's slashing .295/.354/.523 with nine homers, 36 RBI, 30 runs scored, five stolen bases, 11 doubles and three triples over 52 games this season. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Dylan Moore not starting Sunday vs. Angels
    Dylan Moore is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Angels.

    Advice: Moore has scuffled as of late, and he’ll get a day off Sunday with Ryan Bliss getting another start at second base. Mitch Haniger is also out for the finale against the Halos with Dominic Canzone starting in right field. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago

  • Nick Madrigal sent to Triple-A by Cubs
    Cubs optioned INF Nick Madrigal to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Madrigal, 27, will head back to Triple-A with David Bote taking his place on the roster. The former top prospect has once again not been effective at the plate with a .221/.280/.256 slash line in 94 plate appearances thus far. He’ll likely be back on the roster at some point this summer, but fantasy managers can ignore him in all formats. Bummer. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago

  • Sitting after two straight starts
    McKinstry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: McKinstry picked up starts at shortstop and second base Friday and Saturday, respectively, going 1-for-6 with a double. Though both Colt Keith (.594 OPS) and Javier Baez (.481 OPS) have turned in poor numbers as the Tigers' regular starters in the middle infield this season, McKinstry (.499 OPS in 91 plate appearances) hasn't done much to make a case for steadier playing time.
