    • Back in lineup
      Miranda (head) is batting cleanup and playing third base against the Mets on Tuesday.

      Advice: Miranda was hit by a pitch in the head Sunday against Detroit, but after clearing concussion protocols and resting Monday, the 26-year-old is back in the Twins' starting nine. Miranda is amid a breakout year, logging a .884 OPS and a 13.5 percent strikeout rate. Rotowire.com Today, 11:32 am
       
    • Jose Miranda (head) returns to lineup Tuesday
      Jose Miranda is hitting cleanup for Tuesday’s game against the Mets and playing third base.

      Advice: Miranda missed Monday’s game after he took a fastball to the head during Sunday’s contest against the Tigers. The infielder passed concussion protocols however, and he’s now feeling well enough to hit in the middle of the Minnesota lineup against the Metropolitans. Rotoworld Today, 11:29 am
       
    • Keeps slugging Monday
      Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Brewers.

      Advice: He opened the scoring in the game by taking Colin Rea deep in the fourth inning. Ozuna has homered in three of the last four games, boosting his total on the season to 31. Over the last 15 games he's slashing a blistering .382/.452/.818 with eight home runs, 10 RBI and 13 runs. Rotowire.com Today, 6:29 am
       
    • Moves to third in order
      Semien batted third and went 1-for-5 with a run scored in Monday's 6-3 win over the Cardinals.

      Advice: Texas manager Bruce Bochy tweaked the batting order, having Semien hit third for the first time this season. Josh Smith, who had been batting third, took over as the leadoff hitter. Bochy told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com that the change was part of integrating Josh Jung into the lineup. "We're just tweaking it a little bit here," the manager said. "With Jung coming back, you're gonna see a little different lineup. So we wanted to take a look at it here in this series and maybe farther." It's unclear if the switch was for only right-handers or all pitchers. Jung, who was activated off the 60-day injured list Monday, did not play in that night's game, so more changes could be coming once Jung returns to the field. Rotowire.com Today, 4:45 am
       
    • Takes no-decision versus Astros
      Skenes allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings in a no-decision versus the Astros on Monday.

      Advice: The three walks were a season high for Skenes, who wasn't as quite in the zone as he has been for the better part of the last two months. The 22-year-old still recorded his eighth straight quality start. Skenes is at a 1.90 ERA, 0.90 WHIP and 103:16 K:BB through 80.2 innings over 13 starts. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:29 pm
       
    • Takes sixth loss
      Hader (4-6) allowed three runs on a hit and two walks while striking out two over one inning to take the loss Monday versus the Pirates.

      Advice: Hader was brought in with the game tied at the start of the ninth inning. He allowed a three-run home run to Michael Taylor, and the Astros weren't able to recover. Hader had a shaky start to July, but he had settled in with a six-inning scoreless streak that ended Monday. He's at a 4.11 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 72:15 K:BB while converting 20 of 21 saves through 46 innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:25 pm
       
    • Knocks sixth homer
      Murphy went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 8-3 loss to Milwaukee.

      Advice: Murphy's playing time has been dropping in the second half -- he's gone just 3-for-15 with five walks over five games since the All-Star break. The catcher's homer came in garbage time Monday. He's up to six long balls, 13 RBI, 10 runs scored, three doubles and a .210/.295/.379 slash line through 38 contests this season. Until Murphy finds more consistency at the plate, Travis d'Arnaud will continue to eat into his playing time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:20 pm
       
    • Homers again Monday
      Ozuna went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Monday's 8-3 loss to Milwaukee.

      Advice: Ozuna has homered in three of the last four games, and he's hit 10 long balls over 23 contests in July. The designated hitter is up to 31 homers, 83 RBI, 66 runs scored, 20 doubles and a .306/.384/.596 slash line through 105 games this season. Atlanta's trade for Jorge Soler from San Francisco on Monday shouldn't have much of an effect on Ozuna, as Soler will likely be the one to pick up playing time in the outfield.
