  • On base thrice in loss
    Andujar went 2-for-3 with a double and a walk in a loss to the Padres on Monday.

    Advice: Andujar authored one of two multi-hit efforts on the night for the otherwise anemic Athletics offense, pushing his season slash line to a stellar .321/.328/.500 in the process. The veteran has back-to-back two-hit efforts, and he now boasts six multi-hit tallies over his first 14 games of the season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:48 am
     
  • Slugs sixth homer Monday
    Canzone went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the White Sox on Monday.

    Advice: Canzone's 413-foot solo shot to center field in the eighth inning put Seattle's first run on the board and officially began the Mariners' furious eight-run onslaught over the final two innings. The 26-year-old outfielder continues to limp along with a .179 average and .247 on-base percentage, but he's carrying an appreciably better .417 slugging percentage thanks to having now laced eight of his 15 hits for extra bases.

  • Plates two in high-scoring win
    Haniger went 2-for-3 with a two-run single and a double in a win over the White Sox on Monday.

    Advice: Haniger narrowed the Mariners' deficit to a single run with his clutch knock in the eighth inning that plated Ryan Bliss and J.P. Crawford. The veteran outfielder's .223/.288/.349 slash line still has plenty of room for improvement, but Haniger has rather quietly put together a solid stretch of production over his last 12 games by hitting .275 (11-for-40) with three doubles and six RBI over that span.

  • Facing 4-to-6-week timeline
    Rockies manager Bud Black said that Beck is expected to require 4-to-6 weeks of recovery time after undergoing surgery May 29 to insert a plate into his broken left hand, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Beck sustained the injury when he made a diving grab in the outfield in a May 25 game against the Phillies. The rookie has yet to resume baseball activities, though he could be cleared to do so in the next week or two if the shorter end of his recovery timeline proves to be accurate. Beck will eventually require a minor-league rehab assignment before he's reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 8:22 am
     
  • Report: Joey Loperfido heading back to Triple-A
    Ari Alexander of KPRC in Houston reports that the Astros will option Joey Loperfido to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday.

    Advice: The Astros need some insurance for Yainer Diaz (finger), so they will option Loperfido back to Triple-A to make room for Cesar Salazar, who is expected to be recalled in the corresponding move. Loperfido has some long-term appeal in fantasy, but he can safely be sent to the waiver wire in redraft formats. Rotoworld Today, 7:56 am
     
  • Set to return to minors
    Loperfido is expected to be optioned from Triple-A Sugar Land prior to Tuesday's game in San Francisco, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 in Houston reports.

    Advice: Loperfido was just recalled this past Friday when Kyle Tucker (shin) went on the 10-day injured list, but the former looks set to return to the minors without having received a plate appearance during his latest stint in the big leagues. Cesar Salazar is expected to be called up from Triple-A Sugar Land to provide protection at catcher while Rotowire.com Today, 7:41 am
     
  • Requires more rehab time
    The Rockies elected not to activate Jones (knee/back) from the 10-day injured list Monday as previously planned, as the club determined that the outfielder needs more time in the minors to find his proper swing, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Before he was placed on the IL on April 30 with a low-back strain, Jones had gotten off to a disappointing start to the season, slashing just .170/.243/.277 with a 35.9 percent strikeout rate over 103 plate appearances. After starting up a rehab assignment in mid-May, Jones played in just three games before being shut down with a left knee injury, but he was cleared to report back to Triple-A Albuquerque on June 2. Though Jones hasn't reported any issues with his back or knee since returning to action, he's still hitting just .231 with a 36.7 percent strikeout rate in his seven games during the second rehab assignment. The Rockies likely want to see Jones find some success in the minors prior to activating him, so the 26-year-old could remain with Albuquerque through at least Thursday before the Rockies return home Friday to begin a series with the Pirates.

  • JJ Bleday goes 0-for-5, fans four times
    JJ Bleday went 0-for-5 with four strikeouts in the loss to the Padres on Monday.

    Advice: He also badly misread a fly to shallow center in the second inning, giving Manny Machado a single. With a solid .232/.315/.444 line in 271 plate appearances, Bleday isn’t in any danger of losing playing time at the moment. Tonight’s showing, though, was pretty ugly.

  • Adds steal Monday
    Blanco went 1-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Blanco got the start in left field but moved over to right when Hunter Renfroe left the game with a broken toe. With Renfroe likely for the injured list, Blanco could get first dibs on a starting role moving forward, though it's also possible the Royals call up Drew Waters from Triple-A Omaha since there is a chance for steady playing time. Blanco has done well in limited action this season with a .259/.323/.362 slash line and 14 steals over 66 plate appearances as a fourth outfielder. However, he's gone just 3-for-17 over his last 11 contests and would likely struggle to hit consistently in an everyday role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:12 pm
