  • Hits in four of five games
    Lowe went 1-for-4 with a double and a walk Sunday against the Yankees.

    Advice: Lowe has appeared in five games since returning from an oblique and hamstring injury, and he's reached base in all four of his starts. He's hit either second or third in the Rays' lineup, though he did sit in the team's only game against a lefty since he was activated. Rotowire.com Today, 6:45 am
     
  • Sends one out Sunday
    Kelenic went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Mets.

    Advice: Kelenic got Atlanta on the board first with a solo home run off Luis Severino in the second inning. He now has two home runs in the last week after having none in all of April and is slashing .274/.322/.393 with seven RBI, 10 runs and a 6:29 BB:K in 90 plate appearances.

  • Four straight multi-hit games
    Duran started at third base and went 2-for-3 with a walk in Sunday's 3-1 loss to Colorado.

    Advice: Duran made a fifth consecutive start and has hit safely in all five, including multiple hits in the last four of those contests. It's a relatively light hitting streak; he's 10-for-17 during that stretch with with just one RBI and 10 singles. Still, opportunity matters. With playing time available at third base, left field and designated hitter due to injuries, Duran has started seven of the last eight games. Rotowire.com Today, 6:21 am

  • Begins rehab assignment
    McCormick (hamstring) went 2-for-5 with a double in his first rehab game with Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday.

    Advice: McCormick occupied the designated hitter spot in what was his first game action in a couple weeks. He should be activated from the 10-day injured list soon, but the Astros presumably will want him to play at least a game or two in the outfield before that happens. Rotowire.com Today, 6:20 am
     
  • Starts in left field Sunday
    Grossman started in left field and went 1-for-4 in Sunday's 3-1 loss to the Rockies.

    Advice: Grossman was the third different starter in left field in as many games. He followed Ezequiel Duran and Travis Jankowski, as manager Bruce Bochy navigates injuries to Evan Carter (back) and Wyatt Langford (hamstring, IL). This was Grossman's second start in three games since he was traded to Texas from the White Sox last week -- the other was as designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 6:07 am
     
  • Belts 10th home run
    Judge went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in Sunday's win over Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Judge ripped a two-run shot in the fifth inning for his 10th long ball of the year. Through his first 24 games this season, he registered a .663 OPS with three home runs and 31 punchouts. Over his last 18 appearances, Judge is back to his usual self with a 1.146 OPS, seven homers and a 14:16 BB:K. The recent hot streak has brought his slash line to .235/.369/.497 through 187 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 5:47 am
     
  • Jazz Chisholm picks up two hits in win over Phillies
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, and an RBI in a win over the Phillies.

    Advice: Jazz laced a 102 mph double off of Zack Wheeler in the third inning that got a three-run inning started and later tripled off Wheeler in the fourth inning to drive in a run. The Marlins’ leadoff hitter had hits in every game but one this week, going 8-for-23 with a home run, a steal, and two RBI. He also only scored three runs all week despite those stats, so the Marlins’ inconsistent offense is going to impact his fantasy value a bit going forward. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:15 pm
     
  • Aaron Judge homers in win over Rays
    Aaron Judge went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in a 10-6 win over the Rays on Sunday.

    Advice: Judge’s homer was a 374-foot shot that left the bat at 106.7 mph. In fact, Judge had three of the five hardest-hit balls of the day, including a 109.9 mph single in the first inning and a 106.7 mph flyout in the eighth inning that had a .770 xBA and would have been a home run in 10 MLB stadiums. The Yankees slugger is not off to a great start to the season, but he went 7-for-21 this week with three home runs and seven RBI, so perhaps he’s starting to feel like himself a bit.

  • Nolan Jones heading out on rehab assignment
    Nolan Jones (back) will join Triple-A Albuquerque to begin a minor league rehab assignment next week.

    Advice: Kris Bryant (back) will start his rehab assignment on Tuesday, with Jones likely a day or two behind him. Rockies’ manager Bud Black said Sunday that both injured outfielders could return to the team at some point during their upcoming road trip. Rotoworld Saturday, 2:19 pm
