  • Swats home run Sunday
    Cabrera went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Cabrera opened up the scoring with a solo home run off the right field foul pole in the third inning. It was his first home run since May 1 and his first extra-base hit since May 5. He started off the year cooking at the plate but has cooled off considerably and now finds himself in a depth role with the return of DJ LeMahieu to the lineup. For the year, Cabrera is slashing .238/.278/.360 with five homers, 22 RBI, 20 runs and a 10:33 BB:K in 176 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:41 am

  • Swats 24th home run
    Judge went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, a double, two RBI and two runs scored in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Judge capped off his night with a no-doubt 434-foot blast to left field off Yohan Ramirez to put the Yankees up 6-4 in the eighth. He also tacked on an RBI-double in the third and singled in the sixth before coming around to score on a homer from Trent Grisham. Judge has been on an absolutely torrid stretch at the plate. He has seven multi-hit efforts over his last nine games and is slashing .533/.650/1.300 with six homers, 18 RBI, 13 runs and a 10:6 BB:K over that span. He has started to distance himself from the rest of the pack, as his 24 home runs leads the way in baseball while Gunnar Henderson is next behind him with 20. Rotowire.com Today, 3:37 am
     
  • Strikes out 12 in loss
    Glasnow (6-5) took the loss Sunday against the Dodgers, allowing five runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out 12 in six innings.

    Advice: Nearly all the damage against Glasnow came via the long ball. The Yankees opened up the scoring with a solo home run in the third and tacked on an additional run before the inning ended. Trent Grisham later slugged a three-run blast in the sixth to put the Yankees up 5-3 and they would not relinquish the lead from there. The eight hits allowed tied Glasnow's season high and he's now given up at least a home run in five of his last six starts though it was also his fifth time striking out at least 10 hitters. The 30-year-old will carry a 3.24 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 116:24 K:BB (86 innings) into his next start, which projects to be against the Royals over the weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 3:27 am
     
  • Three hits Sunday
    Lux went 3-for-4 with a steal and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Lux put together his first three-hit effort of the season while also tallying his third steal of the year. Despite the three base hits, Lux was unable to drive anyone home and remains with just one RBI since May 19. He also hasn't homered since May 7 and has just four extra-base hits since May 22. The 26-year-old is still looking to find some more consistency at the dish, and is now slashing .216/.268/.292 with 13 RBI, 18 runs and a 12:40 BB:K in 183 plate appearances.

  • Continues hot stretch at plate
    Hernandezs went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Hernandez followed up his two-homer effort Saturday with another in the sixth Sunday off Luis Gil to put the Dodgers up 3-2. He's now produced four multi-hit games in a row and has seven extra-base hits over that span. For the year, the 31-year-old is now slashing .266/.333/.516 with 16 homers, 48 RBI, 39 runs and a 23:81 BB:K in 282 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:04 am
     
  • Finally heating up at Triple-A
    Wallner went 1-for-5 with a double in Sunday's game for Triple-A St. Paul and is hitting .277 with six home runs and a 1.115 OPS over his last 13 games. He's hitting just .206 with 11 home runs and a .745 OPS overall at Triple-A in 46 games.

    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. His hitting woes continued at Triple-A, but he's finally figuring it out at the plate. With Minnesota's offense struggling, Wallner could get another shot soon if he stays hot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:09 pm
     
  • Could make spot start Tuesday
    Varland and Caleb Boushley are the two leading candidates to be called up Tuesday to make a spot start against Colorado, the Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Advice: The Twins are going to push their rotation back a day and may call up a pitcher from the minors. Varland hasn't had much success in the minors since he lost the Twins' fifth-starter role and was sent to Triple-A in April. He has a 5.31 ERA at Triple-A St. Paul but a 9.9 K/9.

  • Launches sixth homer
    Renfroe went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: Renfroe nearly propelled the Royals to another comeback win, but they fell a run short after the outfielder's 10th-inning blast. He's now hit safely in nine straight games, going 12-for-32 (.375) with two homers and seven RBI in that span. Renfroe is up to a .201/.274/.367 with six homers, 26 RBI, 22 runs scored and one stolen base over 55 contests while seeing a starting role in right field. Among the Royals' outfielders, he's been hitting the best lately, but he could still continue to sit versus some right-handers in favor of Adam Frazier. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:23 pm
     
  • Homers in extra-inning loss
    Melendez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-5 extra-inning loss versus the Mariners.

    Advice: Melendez has just three hits over his last 10 games, but all of them have been homers. His blast Sunday tied the game at 3-3 in the ninth inning. Melendez is up to seven homers this season, but he's taken a step back overall with a .165/.228/.346 slash line through 197 plate appearances on the year. He's added 19 RBI, 17 runs scored and two stolen bases, and he's still seeing a majority of the playing time in left field despite his poor hitting. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:20 pm
