  • Avoids significant injury
    Tucker has been diagnosed with a bruised right shin and X-rays on the area came back negative, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

    Advice: Tucker appeared to be in serious pain after fouling a ball off his shin during Monday's game against the Cardinals, but he seems to have escaped a significant injury. He'll be considered day-to-day and will likely be re-evaluated again Tuesday morning to determine his availability for the rest of the week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:26 pm

  • Kyle Tucker day-to-day with shin contusion
    Kyle Tucker is day-to-day after being diagnosed with a right shin contusion.

    Advice: X-rays were negative after Tucker fouled a pitch off his leg tonight. If he can’t go Tuesday, it increases the chances that Chas McCormick will get a start. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:26 pm

  • Homers in season debut
    Dahl went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Monday's 3-1 win over Milwaukee.

    Advice: Dahl was called up Monday and promptly made his season debut, drawing the start in left-field for the injured Brandon Marsh (hamstring). The 30-year-old made a strong first impression with his new club, hitting his first home run in over a year and scoring two of the team's three runs. Dahl could continue to see playing time for the Phillies in the short term, but he lacks staying power -- Monday's game was his fifth MLB appearance over the past three seasons.

  • Starling Marte posts three hits, steal in victory
    Starling Marte went 3-for-5 with a stolen base on Monday in the Mets’ win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Marte tallied three singles and also picked up his 10th theft of the season during Monday’s slugfest at Nationals Park. The 35-year-old veteran outfielder is in the midst of an unexpected late-career resurgence as he appears healthy and is really starting to hit his stride at the dish of late, slashing .357/.413/.571 with two homers and two steals over his last 15 games.

  • Santander blasts 11th home run Monday
    Anthony Santander went 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a two-run home run against the Blue Jays on Monday.



    Advice: The home run was Santander’s 11th of the season. His ISO is up to .228, which would be a career-high not including the shortened 2020 season. Santander is hitting just .228, but his .227 BABIP is well below his career .269 BABIP. His strikeout percentage is 18 percent, which is below his career 20 percent strikeout percentage. Santander’s power is still there and he’s just been unlucky with his average so far.

  • Kyle Tucker exits game with shin injury
    Kyle Tucker left Monday’s game in the third inning after fouling a ball off his right shin.

    Advice: Unfortunately, it got him just above the shin guard he wears on the leg. With any luck, this will just be a day-to-day injury for Tucker. Mauricio Dubón replaced him against the Cardinals. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:24 pm

  • Exits with shin injury
    Tucker left Monday's game against the Cardinals after fouling a ball off his right shin, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Tucker was down in pain for a few minutes and did seemingly everything in his power to remain in the game, but he was ultimately removed. Mauricio Dubon entered the matchup to finish the at-bat. The extent of Tucker's injury is unclear at this time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:15 pm

  • David Dahl goes deep on Monday in Phillies debut
    David Dahl went 2-for-3 with a solo homer on Monday, powering the Phillies to a 3-1 victory over the Brewers.

    Advice: Dahl made an immediate impact in his Phillies debut, taking Brewers reliever Bryse Wilson deep in the fourth inning to give Philadelphia a commanding three-run advantage that they wouldn’t relinquish. The 30-year-old former top prospect has bounced around the last couple seasons, but still represents a quality emergency stopgap option at the highest level, even if he’s never quite been able to carve out a permanent role.

  • Drops to eighth in batting order
    Carroll is starting in center field and batting eighth Monday night against the Giants, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Advice: Carroll's struggles at the dish have continued, as he's slashing .205/.289/.333 over his last 10 contests. Skipper Torey Lovullo noted that he'll likely bump Carroll down in the order against lefties moving forward, per Weiner. This change clears the way for Gabriel Moreno to move into the No. 2 spot in the order Monday evening. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:10 pm
