    • Day off Wednesday
      Buxton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: Though Buxton played the entirety of Tuesday's 4-2 win and reached base four times while adding a steal, his knee collided with the left shin of the Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino in the third inning, when Buxton was running down the first-base line. The Twins haven't indicated that Buxton is dealing with anything more than minor wear and tear a day later, but he'll be given some rest Wednesday in any case. Minnesota will go with Willi Castro in center field against Kansas City starting pitcher Seth Lugo. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:39 pm
       
    • Swipes bag in loss
      Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners.

      Advice: Alvarez was just one of two Astros to have more than one hit on the evening and he recorded his second steal of the year in the sixth. Alvarez now has four multi-hit efforts in his last eight games and nine total for the month of May. For the season, the 27-year-old is slashing .269/.347/.447 with nine homers, 22 RBI, 27 runs and a 41:23 K:BB in 236 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:16 am
       
    • Clubs homer in loss
      Benson went 1-for-1 with a walk and a solo home run Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: Benson produced Cincinnati's lone run, taking a Kyle Gibson four-seamer over the fence to lead off the bottom of the sixth inning. It was the eighth homer of the season for Benson, who also provides fantasy value with eight steals. He was eventually removed for a pinch hitter when a lefty reliever entered, which has been the case in his last four starts. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:13 am
       
    • Notches three hits
      Rengifo went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Yankees.

      Advice: Rengifo did a good job getting on base throughout the night, and he was able to score after his singles in the first and eighth innings. The infielder has been locked in since returning from an illness May 17, going 15-for-42 (.357) over his last 10 contests. That has raised his slash line to .331/.378/.504 with four home runs, 12 stolen bases, 17 RBI and 22 runs scored across 144 plate appearances on the year. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:51 pm

    • Reaches four times
      Buxton went 2-for-2 with a run scored, a stolen base and two walks during Tuesday's 4-2 win over Kansas City.

      Advice: Buxton got on base in all four plate appearances, logging an infield single in the third frame and generating a triple in the fifth. It wasn't until the bottom of the eighth that Buxton came around to score, reaching via a base on balls and stealing second base before being plated by Edouard Julien on a base hit. Since returning from the IL on May 18, Buxton is batting .267 with two homers while also generating a 27.3 percent strikeout rate. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:45 pm
       
    • Will Benson homers in loss to Cardinals
      Will Benson went 1-for-1 with a walk and a solo home run in a loss to the Cardinals on Tuesday.

      Advice: In one game, we saw the pluses and minuses of the Will Benson experience. He hit a solo home run off Kyle Gibson but was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning with a left-handed reliever on the mound. The 25-year-old flashed some intriguing power and speed upside last year, but he now has a .199/.300/.416 triple slash and the Reds are happy to remove him in the middle of a game when a lefty comes in. That makes it hard to roster him in fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:28 pm
       
    • Getting breather
      Melendez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

      Advice: Despite Kansas City facing a right-hander Tuesday, Melendez will miss the Royals starting nine. Instead, Garrett Hampson will play left field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:21 pm
       
    • MJ Melendez singles in Royals’ loss to Twins
      MJ Melendez went 1-for-3 with a single on Monday in the Royals’ loss to the Twins.

      Advice: It’s been a struggle this season at the dish for Melendez as he’s batting just .179 (27-for-151) with four homers and two steals through 47 games. Perhaps the biggest concern here is that he hasn’t connected for a home run since back on April 19. Rotoworld Monday, 1:41 pm
       
    • Grabbing seat
      Santander is absent from the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Santander has homered twice in his last four contests, but he's also done a lot of swinging and missing of late with 10 strikeouts across his past 25 plate appearances. Kyle Stowers is getting a start in right field. Rotowire.com May 27, 7:48 am
