    • Nolan Jones (back, knee) runs bases on Tuesday
      Nolan Jones (back, knee) progressed to running the bases on Tuesday at Coors Field.

      Advice: Jones was pulled off a minor league rehab assignment last week due to right knee soreness, so it’s an encouraging development that he’s resumed running already. The 26-year-old should ramp-up the intensity in the coming days and could get back into minor league contests as early as Thursday with Triple-A Albuquerque. He’s been on the shelf since late April due to a lower back strain. Rotoworld Today, 3:29 pm

    • Getting breather versus lefty
      Merrill isn't in the Padres' lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

      Advice: The left-handed bat of Merrill will step out of the lineup Tuesday as the Marlins prepare to send Jesus Luzardo to the mound. Jose Azocar will fill the void in center field and bat eighth while Merrill sits. Rotowire.com Today, 3:21 pm
       
    • Nearing new rehab assignment
      Jones (back/knee) took batting practice and completed light outfield drills prior to Monday's game, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: This was significant progress for Jones, marking the first time he swung a bat since his first rehab assignment was halted when he experienced knee inflammation. The next step will be running the bases, but that could be the final benchmark before he embarks on a second rehab stint in the minors. Rotowire.com Today, 7:11 am

    • Ends power drought Monday
      Springer went 2-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run and a second run scored in Monday's win over the White Sox.

      Advice: The veteran outfielder opened the scoring in the second inning when he lifted a first-pitch fastball from Nick Nastrini over the fence in left field. Springer snapped a 22-game homer drought with the blast, a stretch in which he slashed a woeful .136/.191/.173. He hasn't failed to hit 20 home runs in a full season since 2015, but the 34-year-old has his work cut out for him this summer to reach that mark again -- Springer has only four long balls through Toronto's first 53 games.

    • Collects three hits, stolen base
      Young went 3-for-4 with a stolen base and one RBI in Monday's 8-4 victory over Atlanta.

      Advice: Young hit three singles and added his 12th RBI of the season in the sixth inning. Most importantly to fantasy owners, the Washington center fielder swiped his 16th base, moving him into a tie for fourth place in the majors. Overall, Young sports a .275/.329/.328 slash line in 146 plate appearances with 23 runs scored. He should continue to play full time despite Lane Thomas (knee) returning Monday, as the Nationals designated Victor Robles for assignment to open a roster spot for Thomas.

    • George Springer homers in victory over White Sox
      George Springer went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer on Monday, leading the Blue Jays to a 5-1 victory over the White Sox.

      Advice: Springer set the tone early for Toronto with a second-inning blast off White Sox rookie Nick Nastrini. It was just his fourth round-tripper of the season and first time he’s gone deep since April 24. It’s been a down season offensively for the 34-year-old veteran as he holds a lackluster .570 OPS through 47 contests. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:56 pm
       
    • Down in seven spot Monday
      Springer will start in right field and bat seventh in Monday's game versus the White Sox.

      Advice: It's the lowest spot in the batting order Springer has ever occupied during his 11-year major-league career. Springer is slashing just .145/.203/.177 so far in May and is 1-for-17 at the dish over his last five contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:02 am
       
    • Smacks 18th homer
      Tucker went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Sunday against the Athletics.

      Advice: The Astros scored all five of their runs in the fourth inning, and Tucker delivered the final blow with his 18th homer of the season. He's gone yard 11 times across 23 games in May, good for a 1.127 OPS. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:18 am
       
    • Kyle Tucker homers in win over A’s
      Kyle Tucker went 1-for-4 with a walk and home run in a 5-2 win over the A’s on Sunday.

      Advice: Another day, another Tucker home run. The 27-year-old hit a 403-foot shot off Aaron Brooks that left the bat at 105 mph. It was Tucker’s 18th of the season and he’s now up to 39 RBI to go along with a .280 average. He’s looking like one of the best first-round picks for this year’s fantasy baseball season.
