  • Pops homer in loss
    Isbel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Monday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Isbel's bat has started to come around -- he's gone 7-for-21 (.333) with four extra-base hits over his last seven games. The outfielder has held onto a strong-side platoon role in center field this season. He's slashing .225/.262/.388 with three homers, three stolen bases, eight RBI, 10 runs scored, two doubles and a triple over 85 plate appearances. Isbel still most frequently bats at the bottom of the Royals' lineup when he's playing. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:14 pm
     
  • Jake Fraley goes hitless in sixth straight game
    Jake Fraley went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts Monday, leaving him hitless in a sixth straight game.

    Advice: Fraley was off to a terrific start and had a case to take over as the Reds’ leadoff man, but he went hitless in three games before missing time with an illness and has remained hitless in three games since returning. He’s struck out in five of his eight at-bats the last two days, and his OPS has dropped from 1.065 two weeks ago to .773 now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:05 pm
     
  • Wins game with walk-off homer
    Garver went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday in a 2-1 win over Atlanta.

    Advice: It's been a rough season for Garver, as he's slashing just .150/.266/.313 through 94 plate appearances. However, Seattle has stuck with him as the team's primary DH, and that decision paid off Monday when he launched a two-run, ninth-inning shot to give the Mariners a come-from-behind win. Garver could be building a bit of momentum, as he's gone deep in two of his past four games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:57 pm
     
  • Notches two more thefts
    Acuna went 1-for-4 with a pair of stolen bases Monday in a loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: Acuna's wheels were key in the production of Atlanta's only run, as the star outfielder began the seventh inning by reaching on an infield single, subsequently stole both second and third base, and came around to score on an Ozzie Albies double. Acuna also struck out three times in the contest, and he's now fanned multiple times in three straight games, but fantasy managers are likely to mostly ignore that as long as he continues to run wild on the basepaths. Acuna began the campaign with just one steal through his first nine games, but he's since racked up 12 steals over his subsequent 18 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:53 pm
     
  • Keeps mashing
    Santana went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Monday's 3-2 win over the ChiSox.

    Advice: Santana went yard once again Monday, tallying his fourth long ball in his last five games with a two-run homer off Garrett Crochet in the second inning. He's been on an absolute tear in his last five outings, batting .333 with 10 RBI. Despite the hot streak, Santana owns a poor .185/.265/.348 slash line through 102 plate appearances.

  • Teoscar Hernández drives in two in victory
    Teoscar Hernández finished 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI as the Dodgers topped the Diamondbacks 8-4 on Monday.

    Advice: Hernández was the exit velocity champ tonight, hitting balls 110.8, 107.9 and 103.7 mph. His .263/.326/.466 line isn’t quite stellar, but with six homers, 22 RBI and three steals in 31 games, he’s definitely meeting expectations for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:41 pm
     
  • Corbin Carroll settles for lone single in loss
    Corbin Carroll contributed a single in four at-bats as the Diamondbacks’ No. 8 hitter on Monday.

    Advice: Carroll had two hard-hit balls tonight, including a 408-foot flyout that Statcast said would have been a homer in 17 of 30 ballparks. Power has been the issue for the 23-year-old this season, so this was a pretty good night, even if the box score looks perfectly generic. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:41 pm
     
  • Out again Monday
    Stephenson (hand) didn't play in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Padres.

    Advice: Stephenson has now missed two consecutive matchups after being struck on the right hand by a pitch Saturday against the Rangers. Luke Maile drew the start behind the dish Monday and could continue to see playing time until Stephenson is cleared to return. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:27 pm
     
  • Swats another homer
    Jansen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Jansen tagged Jonathan Bowlan for a solo homer in the third inning, marking the catcher's second home run in the last three games. After missing the first few weeks of the season with an injury, Jansen is slashing .269/.387/.615 with a 12.9 percent strikeout rate in 31 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:25 pm
