    • Sitting in favor of Kjerstad
      Cowser is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Cowser will take a seat against a right-handed starter (Tanner Bibee) for the third time in five games. Though the Orioles haven't publicly said that Cowser -- who is batting .175 in June -- will see fewer opportunities moving forward, the promotion of Heston Kjerstad from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday wouldn't seem to be a positive development for Cowser's outlook. Kjerstad will enter the Baltimore lineup right away Monday, covering Cowser's typical spot in left field while batting fifth. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:54 am
       
    • X-rays on elbow negative
      Benson was removed from Sunday's 7-4 loss to Boston after getting hit by a pitch on the inside of his left elbow, MLB.com reports. X-rays following the game came back negative.

      Advice: Benson was plunked during the bottom of the eighth inning and stayed in the game to run, but he was replaced by Nick Martini for the top of the ninth. Prior to leaving, Benson went 0-for-3, running his hitless streak to a career-high 21 at-bats. It's unclear if the injury will force Benson to miss much action, but it's unlikely he will be in the lineup Monday against Pittsburgh left-hander Bailey Falter. The lefty-hitting Benson doesn't get many opportunities against southpaws, against whom he's batting .095 (4-for-42) this season. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:36 am
       
    • Provides offense Sunday
      Morel went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Mets.

      Advice: Morel provided all of Chicago's offense with his 15th home run of the season in the seventh inning. The 24-year-old has hit 15 or more homers in each of his three MLB seasons to date, including a career high 26 long balls last year in 107 games. Assuming he stays healthy, Morel could surpass that figure in 2024 as the team is still a few games shy of the season's midpoint. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:27 pm
       
    • Christopher Morel slugs two-run homer in loss
      Christopher Morel slugged a two-run homer on Sunday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Cubs past the Mets.

      Advice: The Cubs weren’t able to get anything going over six innings against Luis Severino, but they started to battle back as soon as he exited. Morel finally got them on the board with a 420-foot (106.9 mph EV) two-run blast off of Dedniel Nunez in the seventh inning. The 24-year-old slugger finished the night 1-for-4 and is now hitting .203/.304/.395 with 15 homers, 45 RBI and seven stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:21 pm
       
    • Pops 15th home run
      Greene went 2-for-4 with a walk and a three-run home run in Sunday's 11-2 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Greene hit his 15th home run of the season in the second inning, a three-run shot that pushed him to 40 RBI this year. The 23-year-old outfielder has gone deep five times this month in 20 games, and a monster finish to the campaign could be in order if he keeps this up. Greene has already set a new career high with the 15 homers, and he needs three more RBI to set a new career best in that category. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:08 pm
       
    • David Fry (elbow) considered day-to-day
      David Fry is considered day-to-day after exiting Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays with inflammation in his right elbow.

      Advice: It sounds like it’s just a minor issue and the 28-year-old slugger won’t require a trip to the injured list. While his pace has cooled over the last few weeks, Fry has still been a force in the middle of the Guardians’ lineup this season — slashing .312/.429/.526 with eight homers, 31 RBI and four stolen bases in only 189 plate appearances.

    • Will Benson leaves game after HBP on Sunday
      Will Benson was removed from Sunday’s game against the Red Sox after he was hit on the left elbow by a pitch.

      Advice: Benson was initially able to talk his way into staying in the game to run the bases for himself, but he was replaced when the Reds took the field defensively in the ninth inning. He’ll presumably head for X-rays to see if there’s any structural damage. If fantasy managers in deeper leagues are relying on Benson for next week, it’d be wise to have a contingency option in play to be on the safe side. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:31 pm
       
    • Battling elbow inflammation
      Fry was removed from Sunday's game against Toronto due to right elbow inflammation, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Fry delivered an RBI single during the first inning of Sunday's contest before being replaced behind the plate by Bo Naylor in the third. The Guardians are currently viewing Fry as day-to-day, though he will likely undergo further testing to determine the extent of his injury. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:16 pm

    • David Fry leaves game with elbow inflammation
      David Fry was removed from Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays due to right elbow inflammation.

      Advice: The positive news here is that Fry’s early exit isn’t related to a possible head injury or concussion. The bad news is that he’s probably going to be sent for some further evaluation and imaging to determine the extent of the issue. The 28-year-old backstop has been an unexpected revelation this season for fantasy managers, so the hope here is that his exit was merely for precautionary reasons. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Sunday, 12:09 pm
