  • LaMonte Wade Jr. gets on base four times in win
    LaMonte Wade Jr. reached base four times Tuesday, finishing 1-for-2 with two RBI and three walks versus the Rockies.

    Advice: The underrated Wade is batting .351 with a ridiculous .485 OBP, yet as a platoon player with one homer, 10 RBI, 12 runs scored and one steal, he still hasn’t been all that valuable for fantasy purposes, and it’s not like he’ll keep hitting .351 forever. At least he should remain plenty useful to the Giants all year. Rotoworld Today, 8:41 pm
     
  • Pete Alonso homers, doubles in Mets win
    Pete Alonso went 2-for-5 with a homer, double, and three RBI in the Mets’ win over the Cardinals on Tuesday night.

    Advice: Alonso broke out in a big way against Miles Mikolas and the Cardinals after a 2-for-44 lull. His two-run double gave the Mets the lead and his eighth inning homer added a valuable insurance run as Adam Ottavino ran into trouble in the ninth. All three of the balls Alonso put in play were hit over 105 MPH exit velocity. Rotoworld Today, 8:21 pm
     
  • Alec Burleson homers, collects three hits in loss
    Alec Burleson went 3-for-5 with a homer and three RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Mets.

    Advice: The homer was Burleson’s second of the year, with both coming against the Mets. This was his 10th straight start against a right-handed pitcher. He hasn’t started against a lefty since April 6th and is firmly in a platoon. Rotoworld Today, 8:19 pm

  • Goes deep in return
    Bellinger went 3-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Padres.

    Advice: Bellinger returned from the injured list Tuesday after missing about two weeks with a fractured ribcage, but he didn't seem to skip a beat. Dating back to before his injury, the 28-year-old is now riding a nine-game hitting streak, and he's gone deep four times in that span, giving him six home runs for the season. Bellinger looks locked in and should be a fantasy force the rest of the way as long as he stays healthy. Rotowire.com Today, 8:00 pm

  • Deliver walk-off homer Tuesday
    Busch went 2-for-4 with a walk-off solo home run in Tuesday's 3-2 win over the Padres.

    Advice: Busch's seventh home run of the season was his biggest to date, as he took Enyel De Los Santos deep in the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Cubs to victory. The slugging first baseman has been solid with an .816 OPS across 35 games, and his seven long balls are second on the team. Busch will likely continue to sit against lefty starters, but he's an impact bat against righties. Rotowire.com Today, 7:55 pm

  • Vinnie Pasquantino collects three hits, three RBI
    Vinnie Pasquantino finished 3-for-5 with a double and three RBI versus the Brewers on Tuesday.

    Advice: It seems like it’s too often been a two-man offense for the Royals, but Pasquantino will pick it up. He crushed the ball tonight, hitting four balls over 100 mph. Three of them checked in at 107-108 mph. Rotoworld Today, 7:48 pm
     
  • Michael Busch hits walk-off homer vs. Padres
    Michael Busch went 2-for-4 with a walk-off homer in Tuesday’s win over the Padres.

    Advice: The Cubs held a 1-0 lead throughout most of this one, but a two-run homer by Jurickson Profar in the eighth gave the Padres the 2-1 advantage and put Shota Imanaga on the hook for his first loss of the season. Fortunately for Imanaga, a sacrifice fly by Christopher Morel in the bottom of the eighth inning put the Cubs in position to win it in the final frame. Busch made short work of the opportunity, hitting a leadoff homer to right off the first pitch of the inning from Enyel De Los Santos to give the Cubs the 3-2 win. It was Busch’s seventh homer of the season, as the first baseman continues to shine in his first full year of big league play. Rotoworld Today, 7:34 pm

  • Bellinger tallies three hits, homers in return
    Cody Bellinger went 3-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday’s win over the Padres.

    Advice: Bellinger’s solo homer in the fourth gave the Cubbies their first run of the night. It was Bellinger’s sixth homer of the season and third in his last seven games, in what was his return from the 10-day IL. Bellinger extended his hitting streak to nine games in this one, and continues to look hot after getting off to a slow start through the first two weeks of the season. His three-hit performance was as good as we could have hoped for in his first game since April 23. Rotoworld Today, 7:28 pm

  • Bryce Harper homers, drives in four in win
    Bryce Harper went 3-for-3 with a grand slam in a 10-1 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

    Advice: Harper took a fourth inning pitch from Jose Berrios and hit it 360 feet for a grand slam that left the bat at 95.4 mph and would have been a home run in only two stadiums. Of course, Harper isn’t complaining and neither are his fantasy managers. The 31-year-old is now up to nine home runs and 28 RBI on the season and remains one of the most valuable hitters in fantasy.
