  • Otto Lopez contributes game-tying hit vs. Brewers
    Otto Lopez hit a game-tying single in the ninth inning on Monday in the Marlins’ eventual extra-inning win over the Brewers.

    Advice: Lopez came through with a clutch single to right field against Brewers closer Trevor Megill, which allowed Nick Gordon to race around and score easily from second base. The 25-year-old finds himself playing regularly for the Marlins at the moment and has come through with a solid .296/.339/.519 triple-slash line with three homers and two steals in 59 plate appearances so far.

  • X-rays negative on Joey Ortiz’s foot
    Joey Ortiz said X-rays on his sore right foot taken after Monday’s game came back negative.

    Advice: There’s always the chance that X-rays taken right after the incident fail to pick something up, but hopefully, this means Ortiz will be fine to play again in a day or two. He was hit on the right foot by a pitch Monday, though he stayed in to finish the game. Rotoworld Today, 7:03 pm

  • Headed for X-rays
    Ortiz is getting X-rays on his right foot after being hit by a pitch in the fourth inning Monday against the Marlins, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Ortiz was able to finish out the game, but it was still bothering him in the clubhouse after the loss, and skipper Pat Murphy noted that the injury may be more serious than initially thought, per Paige Leckie of MLB.com. Andruw Monastero put together a multi-hit evening and could be in line for more looks at the hot corner if Ortiz requires a trip to the injured list. Oliver Dunn is another option at third base, though it would require Milwaukee to elevate him from Triple-A Nashville. Rotowire.com Today, 6:57 pm

  • Joey Ortiz requires X-rays for right foot injury
    Joey Ortiz is getting X-rays on his right foot after getting hurt Monday.

    Advice: Ortiz finished the game after getting hit in the foot by a pitch, but he was still in pain afterwards. If it turns out to be a significant injury, the Brewers could bring back Oliver Dunn and mix and match at third. Sal Frelick might be a part of that, too. Rotoworld Today, 6:54 pm

  • Rafael Devers homers in sixth straight contest
    Rafael Devers homered for the sixth consecutive game on Monday, powering the Red Sox to a 5-0 victory over the Rays.

    Advice: Devers set a franchise record by homering for the sixth consecutive contest when he took Rays starter Taj Bradley deep for a two-run homer to left field in the fourth inning. It was his 10th round-tripper of the season. The 27-year-old fantasy stalwart got off to a frosty start at the dish this season as he dealt with lingering shoulder and knee issues, but he’s certainly heated up lately with arguably the hottest stretch of his career, batting .286 (20-for-70) with seven homers in 18 contests since the start of May.

  • Otto López continues to start for Marlins at 2B
    Otto López is starting for the Marlins at second base for the eighth straight game.

    Advice: López has earned an everyday role since the Marlins traded Luis Arraez. The 25-year-old is hitting .300/.345/.540 with three home runs and one steal in 22 games. López is striking out just 18 percent of the time and has posted solid batting averages throughout his minor league tenure, so he could be a source of batting average and steals in deep league formats.

  • Keeps mashing Sunday
    Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

    Advice: Henderson is on a tear with five homers and seven RBI over his last nine games. His blast Sunday was another leadoff homer against Mariners starter George Kirby. Henderson is leading the majors with 15 long balls to go with seven steals, 31 RBI, 34 runs scored, four doubles, four triples and a .270/.348/.598 slash line over 44 contests. His steal Sunday was his first since April 27. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:25 pm

  • Homers in fifth straight game
    Devers went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Devers' sixth-inning blast gives him nine on the season and marked his fifth consecutive game with a home run, tying a Red Sox record in the process. After a slow start to the season, Devers has caught fire lately, hitting safely in 21 of his last 23 games while batting .337 with seven homers, 16 RBI and 17 runs scored.

  • Rengifo has triple and RBI vs Rangers
    Luis Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a walk, a triple, and an RBI in a win over the Rangers on Sunday.

    Advice: Rengifo returned this weekend after being on the IL with an illness and was right back to the top of the batting order, which is good news for his fantasy value. His RBI triple in the seventh inning helped to pad the lead and his walk earlier in the game set him up for a stolen base attempt. While he was thrown out, the fact that he continues to lead off and run makes him a solid bet in most fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:38 pm
