    • Ends homer drought Monday
      Stewart went 2-for-6 with a three-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Getting the start in right field and batting fifth, Stewart ripped a first-pitch fastball from Jon Gray down the right-field line in the second inning, giving the Mets an early 7-0 lead in an eventual 14-2 rout. The blast ended a 32-game homer drought for Stewart, with his last long ball coming April 30 -- in between, he slashed a woeful .145/.299/.182 with just two RBI in 67 plate appearances. The 30-year-old has seen his playing time largely evaporate with J.D. Martinez handling everyday duties at DH, and even if he heats up at the plate, Stewart's role isn't likely to change much.

    • Goes back on IL
      Triple-A Reno placed Barrosa on its 7-day injured list June 11 with an unspecified injury.

      Advice: Barrosa was on Reno's IL for about six weeks due to a hamstring injury before returning to action May 31, but he was shut down again just over a week later. It's unclear if Barrosa aggravated the previous hamstring injury, or if he's dealing with a new health concern. He's appeared in just 18 games for Reno this season, slashing .283/.389/.417 with one home run and three stolen bases across 72 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
       
    • Nearing rehab assignment
      Bae (wrist) participated in live batting practice Monday, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Bae has also resumed defensive work. Manager Derek Shelton indicated that Bae is close to beginning a rehab assignment, meaning he should be activated from the injured list prior to the end of June barring any setbacks. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago

    • Clubs ninth homer
      Schneider went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Red Sox.

      Advice: The 25-year-old took Nick Pivetta deep in the seventh inning, but Toronto was in a 7-2 hole at that point. Schneider has been struggling in June, slashing .170/.224/.302 through 16 games, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him moved down in the order from his usual spot hitting first or second. On the season, he's batting .225 with nine homers, three steals, 31 runs and 34 RBI in 65 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 7:37 am
       
    • Goes yard for first big-league hit
      Jones went 1-for-1 with a solo home run Monday against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Jones was promoted to the majors June 6 and has made just one start since. However, he entered Monday's game as a pinch hitter in the ninth inning and tallied his first big-league hit with a solo home run. Jones will almost certainly remain a bench bat moving forward.

    • Swipes bag Monday
      Kelenic went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's win over the Tigers.

      Advice: The 24-year-old is thriving as Atlanta's leadoff hitter. Kelenic has a five-game hitting streak going in which he's batting .333 (7-for-21). Since Ronald Acuna (knee) was lost for the season May 26, Kelenic has stepped up in an everyday role, slashing .302/.338/.540 with three home runs, two steals, nine runs and nine RBI in 19 contests.

    • Gets hit in first start
      Wall went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Monday's win over the Tigers.

      Advice: The 28-year-old drove home Atlanta's first run of the night in the seventh inning with a two-out single. Wall was making his first start of the season in the majors -- he made two appearances off the bench in April before being sent down to Triple-A Gwinnett -- and he could be in line for consistent playing time as a strong-side platoon partner for Ramon Laureano, with Atlanta missing both Ronald Acuna (knee) and Michael Harris (hamstring) from its usual starting outfield. Wall was slashing .287/.393/.415 with four homers and 10 steals in 44 games for Gwinnett. Rotowire.com Today, 7:04 am
       
    • Outrighted to Triple-A
      The Pirates outrighted Goodrum to Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday.

      Advice: Goodrum cleared waivers after being designated for assignment. He has the option of electing free agency, but it's not clear at this point whether he will do that or accept an outright assignment. Rotowire.com Today, 6:40 am
       
    • Produces three hits in victory
      Heyward went 3-for-5 with two RBI in Monday's 9-5 win over Colorado.

      Advice: Heyward's pair of RBI came on a single in the eighth inning. The veteran notched his second three-hit effort of the campaign and snapped an eight-game slump during which he had gone 2-for-22 at the plate. Overall, Heyward is slashing .241/.337/.443 with three homers, 11 RBI, 13 runs and two stolen bases through 92 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:44 pm
