  • Collects five hits in twin bill
    Goldschmidt went 5-for-9 with a double and two runs scored in Tuesday's doubleheader split versus the Tigers.

    Advice: Goldschmidt had not collected five hits over any two-game span this season prior to Tuesday. Even with the strong performance, the first baseman is slashing a mediocre .236/.323/.318 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 14 runs scored, three doubles and a stolen base over 29 contests. Goldschmidt has yet to lose playing time amid his slow start, but that could change once the Cardinals get players like Dylan Carlson (shoulder), Tommy Edman (wrist) and Matt Carpenter (oblique) back from the injured list. On the positive side, Goldschmidt has hit safely in eight of his last 10 games, so he may be turning things around enough to maintain his place in the lineup. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:39 pm
     
  • Goes deep in nightcap
    Donovan went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in an 11-6 loss to the Tigers in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: Donovan sparked the Cardinals' fifth-inning rally with his homer. The utility man had hit safely in five straight games before going 0-for-4 in the matinee contest. Donovan is slashing .228/.311/.377 with three homers, 16 RBI, 13 runs scored and no stolen bases over 132 plate appearances this season. He remains the Cardinals' preferred leadoff batter and left fielder despite his mediocre hitting so far. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:35 pm

  • Creating a buzz: Walker hits walk-off HR in extras
    Christian Walker homered twice including a two-run homer in the 10th inning to give the Diamondbacks a 4-3 win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

    Advice: In a game that was delayed due to a swarm of bees, Walker ended up creating the buzz. Sorry. The first baseman homered in the fourth inning off Landon Knack, but the big blow was a two-run shot in the bottom of the 10th off Nabil Crismatt to give Arizona the victory. Walker has homered in two of his last three games, and he’s up to 7 on the season with an .890 OPS and 22 RBI. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:25 pm
     
  • Launches third homer
    Joe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Oakland.

    Advice: Joe tagged Alex Wood for a solo shot in the first inning, marking his third long ball in 100 plate appearances this season. He's on pace to exceed his career-high home run total of 11, which he achieved in 472 plate appearances last season. During his last five games, Joe is batting 6-for-19 (.316) with a pair of doubles and Tuesday's home run. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:58 pm
     
  • Swats three-run homer
    Naylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 10-9 loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Naylor launched his seventh home run of the campaign and scored multiple times for the second time this season. Even with Naylor's long ball, he's batting 3-for-22 (.136) over his last six games. However, he's added a pair of stolen bases and has struck out four times to three walks during that stretch.

  • Drives in five in twin bill
    Burleson went 3-for-9 with a home run and five RBI across both games of Tuesday's doubleheader split against the Tigers.

    Advice: After going 1-for-4 with an RBI single in the matinee, Burleson went deep off Tyler Holton in the fifth inning of the nightcap. Burleson's two-hit game in the second contest was his first multi-hit performance since April 10, and on the season the 25-year-old outfielder is slashing .273/.324/.394 through 24 games with two homers, four runs and 10 RBI.

  • Enters for injured teammate
    Dalbec entered Tuesday's game in the bottom of the fifth inning after Garrett Cooper was hit by a pitch on the wrist. Dalbec stole a base and was hit by a pitch in his lone plate appearance.

    Advice: The early word on Cooper's injury is a contusion, and it's unclear how much time he'll need. The development puts Dalbec back on the fantasy radar; he had been the primary first baseman prior to Boston acquiring Cooper last week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:13 pm
     
  • Alec Burleson homers, plates four in Cards’ loss
    Alec Burleson went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer and four RBI in the Cardinals’ blowout loss to the Tigers in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader.

    Advice: Burleson got the Cardinals back within striking distance with a three-run blast off Tigers reliever Tyler Holton. It was his second long ball of the season and second time he’s gone deep in his last five contests. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:54 pm
     
  • Remains out Tuesday
    Sano (knee) isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.

    Advice: Knee inflammation will cause Sano to miss his fourth consecutive game, and the 30-year-old infielder could end up on the injured list if he's unable to return to the lineup soon. Cole Tucker will serve as the Angels' DH and bat seventh while Sano sits. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:48 pm
