    • Red Sox option Enmanuel Valdez to Triple-A
      Red Sox optioned Enmanuel Valdez to Triple-A Worcester.

      Advice: It’s a little surprising to see Valdez head to the minors now, as he’s swung the bat well since the start of June with a slash of .290/.380/.577 in that month, and he’s 5-for-11 in his limited action in July. Regardless, he’ll return to the minors with Jamie Westbrook taking his place on the roster. Rotoworld Today, 12:11 pm
       
    • On track to return this weekend
      Bogaerts (shoulder) is on track to be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

      Advice: Bogaerts began a rehab assignment last week with Triple-A El Paso, going 2-for-11 with a 4:4 K:BB in four games. He will continue his rehab with another game or two this week with Single-A Lake Elsinore before facing live pitching at Petco Park. Assuming all goes well, he'll then be back for the Padres' final series of the first half this weekend against Atlanta. Bogaerts has been sidelined since late May with a fractured left shoulder.

    • Enjoying strong 15-game stretch
      Lopez went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and a stolen base Monday against the Twins.

      Advice: Lopez has just a .607 OPS for the season, but he's in the midst of a very productive stretch. Across his last 15 games dating back to June 22, he's gone 15-for-43 with nine RBI, six runs scored and two stolen bases. Lopez is still hitting in the bottom third of the order and sitting against lefties, limiting his overall value. Rotowire.com Today, 8:19 am

    • Ketel Marte (back) returns from two-game absence
      Ketel Marte is back at second base on Monday after missing two games with back tightness.

      Advice: He’s hitting second, as per usual. Kevin Newman returns to the bench with Marte back. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:36 pm

    • Returns to Arizona lineup
      Marte (back) will start at second base and bat second in Monday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Marte had to depart a game this past Friday with a back issue and then sat out the next two contests. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go in the series opener versus Atlanta. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:56 pm

    • Continues to shine on offense
      Rojas went 2-for-2 with two doubles, a walk, a run and a stolen base Sunday in a loss to Milwaukee.

      Advice: Rojas logged two of Los Angeles' three extra-base hits, doubling in each of the fourth and sixth innings. The shortstop is batting .359 with six doubles, four RBI and a stolen base over his past 11 games to boost his season batting average to .291. Rojas has been playing on a near-everyday basis since Mookie Betts went down with a fractured bone in his left wrist June 16. Though Betts could return in late July or early August, Rojas may not lose his spot in the lineup at that point, as manager Dave Roberts stated early this month that he may consider moving Betts to second base in order to ensure Rojas continues to start at shortstop, per Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times.

    • Stuck in part-time role
      Freeman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

      Advice: Though he seemed primed for steadier playing time after Will Brennan (rib cage) was placed on the injured list June 27, Freeman instead looks to be stuck in a part-time role in the Cleveland outfield. He'll hit the bench for the fourth time in six games, with recent call-up Angel Martinez having seemingly surpassed Freeman as a priority in the lineup. Martinez will cover center field Monday in what will be his fifth consecutive start. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:23 pm

    • Belts homer Sunday
      Taylor went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's loss to Milwaukee.

      Advice: Taylor accounted for Los Angeles' only two runs of the contest with his 403-foot blast in the sixth inning. The utility man has bounced back from an awful start to the campaign to slash .282/.404/.590 with three home runs, six RBI, 10 runs and two stolen bases over his past 15 games. Taylor has consequently started each of the Dodgers' past seven contests, and though he's hitting only .182 during that stretch, he has two long balls and a 6:8 BB:K. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:17 pm

    • On base three times Sunday
      Brujan went 1-for-2 with two walks, a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the White Sox.

      Advice: The 26-year-old infielder has scored at least one run in four straight games, reaching base seven times during that stretch on a single, two doubles and four free passes. Brujan is still slashing just .227/.308/.331 on the season, but he could be finding a groove at the plate with consistent playing time -- he's started six straight games at second base since the Marlins cut loose Tim Anderson at the beginning of the month and placed Otto Lopez (back) on the IL.
