    • Report: Yankees not ready to give up on Rizzo
      According to The Athletic’s Ken Rosenthal, the Yankees “are not ready to give up on [Anthony Rizzo] just yet.”

      Advice: Rizzo was out of the starting lineup on Sunday and reportedly will be again on Monday. The 34-year-old has been struggling mightily this year. As Rosenthal points out, Rizzo’s .284 slugging percentage against starting pitching is the lowest in the majors, and “since 2022 his .235 batting average against fastballs is the second lowest, ahead of only the Blue Jays’ Daulton Varsho.” Considering that Rizzo is now playing below-average defense at first base, it seems logical for the Yankees to look for an upgrade. Still, manager Aaron Boone has not been willing to admit as much. “There’s no question over the last two, three weeks especially, it’s been a little bit of a struggle,” Boone said. “When you’re going through it and making little adjustments, they don’t always take right away.” Considering Rizzo is hitting .231/.323/.413 since the beginning of 2022 with a 111 wRC+, it’s now been a few years since he’s really given the Yankees’ lineup much. If they want to compete for a World Series this year, Boone may need to be open to a change at first base. Rotoworld Today, 9:13 am
       
    • Plates three runs in win
      Altuve went 4-for-5 with a two-run homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Angels.

      Advice: Altuve's big hit of the day came with two outs in the sixth to cap off a four-run rally that put the Astros ahead 7-4. It was his first time with four hits in a game since Sept. 4, 2023, and it was his eighth time this year with three or more hits in a game. Altuve is now tied for fourth in the majors with 80 hits on the year and is putting together another strong campaign at the dish. He's slashing .297/.348/.454 with 10 homers, 25 RBI, 39 runs and an 18:53 BB:K in 290 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:46 am
       
    • Triples, drives in two
      Langford went 2-for-4 with a triple and two RBI during Sunday's win over the Giants.

      Advice: Langford recorded his fourth multi-hit game in the last nine while collecting his fifth and sixth RBI over that same span. Langford is starting to show some positive signs after a slow start to the season, lifting his average to .234 with Sunday's effort and hitting .286 with a double and two triples over this most recent nine-game stretch.

    • Jose Altuve belts 10th homer in loss on Sunday
      Jose Altuve went 4-for-5 and belted his 10th home run of the season on Sunday, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Astros past the Angels in Los Angeles.

      Advice: Altuve capped off a four-run rally in the sixth inning with his 406-foot (103.2 mph EV) two-run blast off of Hunter Strickland that extended the Astros’ lead to 7-4. That would be the extent of their scoring though. The 34-year-old second baseman also got the Astros on the board with a run-scoring single in the third inning then scored on an RBI knock by Jeremy Pena. He’s in the midst of another outstanding season at the dish — slashing .297/.348/.454 with 10 homers, 25 RBI and nine stolen bases. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:54 pm
       
    • Notches ninth save
      Neris picked up his ninth save of the season Sunday against the Reds, striking out two batters in a scoreless ninth inning. He did not allow a baserunner.

      Advice: Neris was sharp, striking out the first two batters he faced before inducing a groundout to secure a 4-2 victory for the Cubs. The 34-year-old veteran has enjoyed a nice start to the month of June, notching saves in three of his four appearances and a win in the other. During that stretch, Neris has pitched four scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and two walks while collecting six strikeouts. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:07 pm
       
    • Max Kepler has two hits, RBI in win over Pirates
      Max Kepler went 2-for-5 with a walk and an RBI in a win over the Pirates on Sunday.

      Advice: Kepler had two hits on the day but his two hardest-hit balls of the day were both 106 mph lineouts. The 31-year-old is now slashing .258/.322/.426 on the season with four home runs and 22 RBI in 46 games for the Twins this season. He will sit against left-handed pitching which can put a damper on his fantasy appeal, but he has enough of a five-category skill set to be rostered in all 15-team leagues and even some shallower ones.

    • Takes loss in quality start
      Littell (2-4) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk across six innings. He struck out three.

      Advice: Littell had to work for his third straight quality start, stranding five batters and allowing four extra-base hits, including a fourth-inning solo homer by Anthony Santander. Littell has surrendered a home run in five straight starts and owns a 4.55 ERA with a 24:5 K:BB across 29.2 innings. He's tentatively scheduled for a road start in Atlanta on Friday.

    • Héctor Neris perfect in ninth versus Reds
      Héctor Neris threw a perfect ninth with a two-run lead for a save Sunday against the Reds.

      Advice: Neris has been effective throughout, but it’s come with an ugly K/BB ratio. Fortunately, he’s starting to turn that around some now, having struck out six and walked two in four innings this month. He has a 22/17 K/BB ratio now, compared to 13/14 through his first 16 appearances this season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:08 pm
       
    • Zack Littell has quality start in loss to Orioles
      Zack Littell allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings in a loss to the Orioles on Sunday.

      Advice: The right-hander also struck out three and walked one as he worked around the zone all day long with a 28 percent CSW. However, he was only able to get eight whiffs on 45 swings for an 18 percent whiff rate while allowing 12 hard-hit baseballs. It feels like a game that could have gone much worse for him, so he’ll be thankful to take a 3.63 ERA into another tough matchup with the Braves next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:38 pm
