    • Swats two-run homer
      Gonzales went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Brewers.

      Advice: It took Gonzales just five games since being called up from Triple-A to notch a home run, tagging Joe Ross for a two-run shot in the fourth inning. While Tuesday's tilt marked Gonzales' second multi-RBI game this year, he's yet to generate multiple hits in a single game and is slashing .214/.267/.429 with a stolen base in 16 plate appearances.

    • Nick Gonzales hits first homer of season vs. MIL
      Nick Gonzales went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Brewers.

      Advice: Gonzales homered in the fourth inning to score Connor Joe, giving the Pirates their first runs on the afternoon. Offense was hard to come by for the Pirates in this one, as they were held to just three hits on the night in the losing effort. Gonzales has appeared in just four games this season since being recalled from Triple-A and is not on the fantasy radar at this time. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:20 pm
       
    • Jorge Polanco (hamstring) not in Tuesday’s lineup
      Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Royals.

      Advice: Polanco will sit out Tuesday’s contest to rest and recover following an early exit from Monday’s series opener due to right hamstring tightness. It’ll be Josh Rojas, who is batting .375 (21-for-56) with two homers and three steals in 16 games since being moved to the leadoff spot back on April 24, taking over at the keystone in his absence.

    • Held out Tuesday
      Polanco (hamstring) isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: Right hamstring tightness forced Polanco out of Monday's contest, and he will get an additional day to recover Tuesday. Josh Rojas will cover second base as a result, allowing Luis Urias to start at the hot corner and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:14 pm

    • Plays hero Monday
      Newman went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Monday's 6-5 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Newman ended the night with a walk-off, two-run single off Cincinnati closer Alexis Diaz, who had hit a batter and walked two before the shortstop played hero. It was the third consecutive game with multiple hits for Newman, who is 8-for-12 with four doubles, a triple, two RBI and four runs scored during that stretch. He's added 74 points to his batting average -- from .179 to .253 -- due to this outburst and is more in line with his career mark of .259. He had become the team's primary shortstop, because his glove was more reliable than rookie Blaze Alexander. Newman should continue to serve that role until Geraldo Perdomo (knee) is ready, which is expected to be at some point in June. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:28 am

    • Kevin Newman hits walk-off single against Reds
      Kevin Newman went 4-for-5 with a walkoff two-run single in the ninth inning to give the Diamondbacks a 6-5 win Monday over the Reds.

      Advice: Newman poked a single to right to score a pair of runners and turned a potential 5-4 loss into a 6-5 win. The 30-year-old former first-rounder has hit just .253 even with those four hits, and what was once an intriguing fantasy prospect is now someone who can be ignored on waivers. Monday was a good one, however. Rotoworld Monday, 10:04 pm

    • Jorge Polanco leaves with hamstring tightness
      Jorge Polanco was removed from Monday’s game against the Royals with tightness in his right hamstring.

      Advice: Polanco exited the game and was replaced by Luis Urias, with Urias taking over at third and Josh Rojas moving to second. It’s a concerning development, especially for a hitter that has battled injuries over the last few years. There should be a further update on Polanco before Tuesday’s game against Kansas City.

    • Leaves with hamstring issue
      Polanco was removed from Monday's game against the Royals due to right hamstring tightness.

      Advice: The severity of Polanco's injury is unclear, though he's likely headed for further testing. Josh Rojas and Luis Urias could see more opportunities at second base if Polanco is forced to miss additional time. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:36 pm

    • Heads to bench Sunday
      Gonzales is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

      Advice: Following his call-up from Triple-A Indianapolis, Gonzales had started at second base in the first two games of the series and went 1-for-7 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored. He'll give way to Alika Williams on Sunday, and the two could end up operating in a timeshare at the keystone until Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) returns from the injured list. Jared Triolo has acted as the Pirates' primary second baseman this season, but he'll see the majority of the starts at the hot corner while Hayes is on the mend. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:00 am
