  • Drawing fourth straight start
    Moore will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Moore will pick up his fourth consecutive start in the infield since making his return from the paternity list Thursday. He'll likely serve as the Mariners' primary option at the keystone before moving into a utility role once Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is ready to come off the 10-day injured list.

  • Chisholm has two-hit game in loss Sunday
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. went 2-for-4 with an RBI against the Nationals on Sunday.



    Advice: It was a quiet day for the Marlins offense as they could only muster one run against Washington. Chisholm’s single in the fifth inning temporarily tied the game at one. He’s hitting .260 with a .762 OPS and 34 RBI this year.

  • Young belts first career home run against Marlins
    Jacob Young went 2-for-3 with a solo home run against the Marlins on Sunday.



    Advice: It was Young’s first home run in his two-year career. His fantasy utility comes purely from his speed on the bases. Young has 17 steals in 60 games with the Nationals this year.

  • Ian Happ on base three times in loss
    Ian Happ went 2-for-3 with a double, walk, run scored, and stolen base on Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Happ, like the rest of the Cubs, has not been hitting his best of late. He ignited both of their mini rallies in this one, scoring their only run and making Ryan Helsley sweat in the ninth inning. Hopefully this can jump start a hot streak in what’s been a mediocre season. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago

  • Thomas hits home run for third consecutive game
    Lane Thomas went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Marlins on Sunday.



    Advice: It’s Thomas’ third consecutive game with a home run. He now has seven total on the year. Thomas has been hot over his last 10 games going 10-for-37 (.351) to bring his season average to .238. He stole 11 bases in 22 games in April, but has just five steals in 20 games since.

  • Remains out Sunday
    Smith (undisclosed) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Smith is on the bench for a third straight game due to an injury that manager Bruce Bochy has termed as "general tightness." Ezequiel Duran will get a second consecutive start at third base in place of the banged-up Smith. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Making seventh straight start
    Pillar will start in center field and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Giants, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: Pillar will pick up his seventh straight start and may have pushed his way into a near-everyday role in the Angels outfield while he's been at a heater at the plate for more than a month now. Dating back to May 7, Pillar is slashing .351/.394/.629 with six home runs, four stolen bases, 24 RBI and 21 runs in 27 games. Pillar's much more modest offensive outputs over parts of the previous 11 seasons in the big leagues suggest he won't be able to maintain his current level of production for much longer, but fantasy managers should ride the wave while it lasts.

  • Retreating to bench Sunday
    Moniak is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: After starting in each of the past four games, the lefty-hitting Moniak will hit the bench while the Giants open the game with a left-hander (Erik Miller). Kevin Pillar -- who had made four straight starts in left field -- will slide over to center field in Moniak's stead. Rotowire.com Today, 12:12 pm
     
  • Sitting in fourth straight
    Calhoun is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: Calhoun has been displaced as the Angels' designated hitter in four straight games while Taylor Ward has handled those duties since returning from a one-game absence due to a back injury. It's unclear if Calhoun will recapture a regular role when or if Ward moves back to his previous spot in left field. Dating back to May 22, Calhoun has produced a modest .564 OPS, which may have put him at risk of losing his job even if Ward's back injury hadn't cropped up. Rotowire.com Today, 12:07 pm
