  • Nicky Lopez doubles, triples, in loss to Blue Jays
    Nicky Lopez went 2-for-3 with a double, a triple, and one RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The White Sox managed just two runs on the night, with one of them coming on an RBI double in the third inning. He also tripled in the first inning, as his two extra-base hits on the day tied his season total entering the evening. Lopez has hit safely in eight of his last nine games but is well off the fantasy radar in this dismal offense Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:33 pm

  • Kiner-Falefa drives in one in win over White Sox
    Isiah Kinder-Falefa went 1-for-4 with a double and RBI in Tuesday’s win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa extended his hitting streak to seven games when he singled to drive in George Springer in the top of the second inning. Kiner-Falefa now has nine homers and 15 RBI on the season and has slashed a solid .280/.304/.467 this month. Despite a good May, Kiner-Falefa remains at the bottom of the lineup in an offense that’s struggled mightily through the first two months. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:27 pm
     
  • Tim Anderson goes 0-for-3 in loss to Padres
    Tim Anderson went 0-for-3 in the loss to the Padres on Tuesday.

    Advice: Anderson probably cost the Marlins the game on defense Monday, and he’s on the short list of the game’s worst hitters at .199/.235/.219 this season. A batting champ in 2019 and an All-Star in both 2021 and ’22, it’s hard to understand why he looks so finished now at age 30. Still, he’s turned into such a liability that he should not be in the major leagues at this point. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:13 pm
     
  • Hampson drives in one run for Royals in loss
    Garrett Hampson went 1-for-3 with one RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Hampson drove in the Royals’ first run of the night when he singled home Nick Loftin in the fifth inning. It was a tough evening for the Royals, as the heart of their order failed to record a hit, leaving Hampson and the lower third of the order to act as run support. Hampson has now hit safely in five straight games but is off the fantasy radar due to his lack of offensive production. He’s driven in just six runs on the year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:37 pm
     
  • Miguel Vargas connects for first homer in victory
    Miguel Vargas slugged a solo homer to lead the Dodgers to a 3-0 win in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Mets.

    Advice: Dodgers manager Dave Roberts has been reluctant to give Vargas opportunities so far as he made just his third start in this one since being summoned back on May 17 from Triple-A Oklahoma City. He connected for his first round-tripper of the season when he took Mets starter José Quintana deep in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old should probably get a longer look in Los Angeles, but it doesn’t sound like that’s in the cards at the moment, unless he’s going to force them to keep his bat in the lineup.

  • Geraldo Perdomo (knee) nearing rehab assignment
    Geraldo Perdomo (knee) is close to starting a minor league rehab assignment.

    Advice: Perdomo will head to the nearby Rookie-level Arizona Complex League for a handful of contests before shifting to facing some higher-level competition at Triple-A Reno. The 24-year-old shortstop has been out since early April recovering from surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:50 pm

  • Elects free agency
    Smith elected to become a free agent Tuesday.

    Advice: Smith has not registered a big-league plate appearance this season despite enjoying two separate stints with the Yankees. Rather than returning to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on an outright assignment, he'll look to secure a deal elsewhere in free agency. The 27-year-old owns a mere .516 OPS during his major-league career, so it's unlikely he nets anything more than another minor-league deal. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:46 pm

  • Sitting against lefty
    Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Advice: After a 1-for-5 performance during the Dodgers' Game 1 win, Lux will take a seat during the nightcap versus left-handed starter Jose Quintana. Miguel Rojas will start at the keystone instead while batting eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:23 pm
