  • Reaches base three times
    Pena went 2-for-2 with a double, a walk, two RBI and a run scored Tuesday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Pena entered Tuesday's game having failed to tally an extra-base hit in 10 straight starts. He ended that drought with an RBI double in the third inning and also drove in a run on a sacrifice fly one frame later. Pena is now hitting .302 with five home runs and nine stolen bases across 251 plate appearances on the campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:10 am
     
  • Josh Rojas goes 3-for-5 in Mariners’ victory
    Josh Rojas finished 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI versus the A’s on Tuesday.

    Advice: It’s the first three-hit game for Rojas since May 5, when he raised his average to .360. He’s hit just .229/.275/.282 in 85 plate appearances since that date, but it’s been enough to keep him starting against righties for now. The Mariners could reevaluate that after Jorge Polanco returns. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:25 pm

  • Smacks fifth homer
    Diaz went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Diaz's third-inning blast gave the Astros a 6-1 lead, which was ultimately enough for the win. The catcher sat out the first two games of June, and he's responded with homers in back-to-back contests after going 39 contests without a long ball. He's up to five homers, 28 RBI, 20 runs scored, 10 doubles and a .249/.277/.383 slash line through 213 plate appearances this season. With his bat coming around, Diaz should be able to maintain a starting role at catcher over Victor Caratini. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:55 pm
     
  • Yainer Diaz homers, drives in three vs. Cardinals
    Yainer Diaz went 1-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Diaz put the exclamation point on a four-run third for the Astros when he sent a 367-foot shot to deep right field to put the Astros up 6-1. The homer marked Diaz’s fifth of the season, as he’s now homered in back-to-back games while driving in five runs over that span. Diaz’s three-RBI performance upped his RBI total to 28 on the season, which is good for fourth-most on the team this season. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:56 pm
     
  • X-rays on hand negative
    X-rays on Bregman's left hand came back negative after he was hit by a pitch during Tuesday's win over the Cardinals, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Bregman took a 93-mph sinker off his hand during the first inning of Tuesday's contest, but he was able to shake it off and remain in the game, going 1-for-3 with three runs scored. Precautionary X-rays confirmed the All-Star third baseman isn't dealing with any serious damage, but there is still a chance he sits out Wednesday's series finale in order to avoid playing with any lingering hand soreness.

  • Alex Bregman day-to-day with bruised hand
    Alex Bregman had X-rays on his hand that came back negative after he was hit by a pitch during Tuesday’s game.

    Advice: Bregman is day-to-day. If he can’t go on Wednesday, Mauricio Dubón will likely start at third base. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:51 pm
     
  • Jeremy Peña drives in two in win over Cardinals
    Jeremy Peña went 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Peña doubled off of Andre Pallante in the third inning to drive in Alex Bregman and give the Astros a 3-1 lead. He later hit a sacrifice fly to again drive in Bregman while pushing the Astros’ lead to 7-2. Peña is now hitting .302 on the season with five homers, 23 RBI, and nine stolen bases. His 71 hits are tied for ninth-most in the majors, as he continues to be a staple in a potent Astros lineup. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:50 pm
     
  • Luis Arraez returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Angels
    Luis Arraez (shoulder) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Angels.

    Advice: Arraez is back at designated hitter and leading off on Tuesday night in Los Angeles following a brief one-game absence due to relatively minor right shoulder and neck issues. The 27-year-old contact-oriented infielder has been excellent since arriving in San Diego, batting .391 (43-for-110) with one homer and three steals across 26 contests. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:50 pm

  • Rejoining lineup Tuesday
    Arraez (shoulder/neck) is batting leadoff as the designated hitter Tuesday against the Angels.

    Advice: The 27-year-old sat out Monday's contest due to the shoulder/neck injury he suffered on a slide Sunday, and he'll be eased back into the lineup Tuesday in a non-defensive capacity. Arraez is in the midst of an eight-game hit streak, during which he's batting .375 with no extra-base hits, five RBI and five runs. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:38 pm
