  • Josh Bell has two hits in loss to Rays
    Josh Bell went 2-for-5 with a double, a triple, two runs scored, and an RBI in a loss to the Rays on Tuesday.

    Advice: Bell is coming off a solid month of May, where he slashed .311//365/.466 with three home runs and 18 RBI in 27 games. He’s carried that over into June, going 4-for-12 in his first three games of the month. The 31-year-old is a likely trade candidate this summer and could benefit from a change of scenery, especially if he’s going to keep hitting as well as he has been. He could be a well-timed stash in fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Today, 7:07 pm

  • Mountcastle’s two-homer, five RBI night downs Jays
    Ryan Mountcastle went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Mountcastle forced a 12-pitch at-bat against Trevor Richards in the first inning before striking out and turned his second at-bat into a three-run bomb off Bowden Francis to put the Orioles up 4-0. He would homer again in the fifth, sending a two-run shot into the stands to push the lead to 7-0. Mountcastle has now hit safely in eight of his last 10 games and will have another chance to assert his dominance over the Jays on Wednesday. Rotoworld Today, 6:53 pm
     
  • Freddie Freeman has two hits in loss to Pirates
    Freddie Freeman went 2-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Advice: Freeman had a first-inning single and smoked a 103.6 mph double off Jared Jones, finishing as the only Dodger with multiple hits on the day. The veteran has been his usual solid self all season and should add a bit more power as the weather heats up. Rotoworld Today, 6:46 pm
     
  • Pete Alonso hits 446-foot homer versus Nationals
    Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 with a long home run Tuesday against the Nationals.

    Advice: The homer off Kyle Finnegan was drilled 446 feet to left field. It’s the longest of Alonso’s 14 homers so far this season. He’s gone 7-for-23 with two homers and three doubles since May 30. Rotoworld Today, 6:40 pm
     
  • Luis Arraez returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Angels
    Luis Arraez (shoulder) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Angels.

    Advice: Arraez is back at designated hitter and leading off on Tuesday night in Los Angeles following a brief one-game absence due to relatively minor right shoulder and neck issues. The 27-year-old contact-oriented infielder has been excellent since arriving in San Diego, batting .391 (43-for-110) with one homer and three steals across 26 contests. Rotoworld Today, 3:50 pm

  • Rejoining lineup Tuesday
    Arraez (shoulder/neck) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Angels.

    Advice: The 27-year-old sat out Monday's contest due to the shoulder/neck injury he suffered on a slide Sunday, and he'll be eased back into the lineup Tuesday in a non-defensive capacity. Arraez is in the midst of an eight-game hit streak, during which he's batting .375 with no extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs. Rotowire.com Today, 3:38 pm

  • Out of lineup Tuesday
    Urshela is not in the Tigers' lineup Tuesday versus the Rangers.

    Advice: Urshela has six hits in the five games since his most recent off day, with a pair of those knocks clearing the fences for his first two home runs of the season. Mark Canha will start at first for Urshela on Tuesday and Justyn-Henry Malloy will fill in at DH. Rotowire.com Today, 3:29 pm

  • Astros recall Trey Cabbage on Tuesday
    Astros recalled OF Trey Cabbage from Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: Cabbage provides Houston with a little more of an offensive threat off the bench than Grae Kessinger and also represents extra outfield insurance with Kyle Tucker dealing with a shin contusion. The 27-year-old has omnipresent contact issues, but he certainly can do some damage when he connects. Rotoworld Today, 2:40 pm

  • Kris Bryant remains out Tuesday with rib soreness
    Kris Bryant (rib) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: Bryant will sit out his second consecutive contest due to lingering rib soreness stemming from a twisting catch during the club’s previous series against the Dodgers. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 2:32 pm
