    • Ends power drought
      Yelich went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Yelich's last homer was was April 10. He dealt with a back injury that kept him out of the lineup for nearly a month, and his power was the last part of his game to return. The outfielder has gone 20-for-69 (.290) over 18 contests since he returned from the injured list, though he's logged just six extra-base hits in that span. For the season, Yelich is slashing .306/.390/.546 with six homers, 22 RBI, 19 runs scored, seven stolen bases, four doubles and two triples over 29 contests. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:44 pm
       
    • Christian Yelich homers, drives in three Wednesday
      Christian Yelich went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, three RBI, and two runs scored on Wednesday against the Cubs.

      Advice: After going hitless in his last two games, Yelich put the Brewers on the board in the first inning with a two-run blast off Shota Imanaga. It was the first extra-base hit Imanaga has allowed to a left-handed batter. Yelich later knocked a base hit in the third and scored on a double by Gary Sánchez. The 29-year-old outfielder is hitting an outstanding .306/.390/.546 with six homers, 22 RBI, and seven steals across 124 plate appearances. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:20 pm
       
    • Getting day off
      Pham is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: The White Sox will give rest to two of their veteran outfielders in the series finale, with Andrew Benintendi joining Pham on the bench. Dominic Fletcher will fill in as the White Sox's starting center fielder after Pham had been included in the lineup in each of the last 26 games. Pham has been one of Chicago's most productive hitters since signing with the team in April, but he's fallen into a 0-for-12 funk at the plate over his last three starts.

    • Tommy Pham takes a seat versus Blue Jays
      Tommy Pham is out of the White Sox lineup for Wednesday’s game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: It’s his first time absent from the lineup since May 7. The White Sox are using Corey Julks in the leadoff spot and giving Dominic Fletcher a start in center tonight. Rotoworld Wednesday, 12:48 pm

    • Wilyer Abreu sits versus LHP on Monday
      Wilyer Abreu will head to the bench on Monday with the Red Sox facing a left-handed pitcher.

      Advice: Rob Refsnyder will start in his place and bat second. The Red Sox also chose to sit David Hamilton with Cole Irvin on the mound, and Romy Gonzalez will play shortstop. The Red Sox will only face one more left-handed starter this week, so fantasy managers with Abreu on their team should feel good about playing him in weekly lineup lock leagues.

    • Sitting out versus lefty
      Abreu is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Baltimore.

      Advice: The Orioles have southpaw Cole Irvin on the mound Monday, so the left-handed hitting Abreu will take a seat. Rob Refsnyder will be in right field for the Red Sox and also occupy the second spot in the batting order. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:12 am

    • Heats up
      Abreu went 3-for-4 with a triple and a run scored in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Brewers.

      Advice: Abreu, who scored on a sacrifice fly following his fourth-inning triple, is in a productive stretch. The outfielder is 10-for-25 with five extra-base hits, a stolen base, six RBI and four runs scored over the last seven contests. He's thriving against right-handed pitching this season, posting a .926 OPS against them. Rotowire.com Monday, 6:02 am

    • Alec Burleson collects two hits in win on Sunday
      Alec Burleson went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and a run scored as the Cardinals triumphed over the Cubs on Sunday evening.

      Advice: Burleson smacked a one-out single off of Javier Assad in the third inning, then rode home on Paul Goldschmidt’s first two-run homer of the night. With his two-hit effort, the 25-year-old outfielder is now hitting a robust .309/.338/.460 with five long balls, 17 RBI and a pair of stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:20 pm

    • Wilyer Abreu collects three hits in Boston’s win
      Wilyer Abreu went 3-for-4 with a triple Sunday as the Red Sox edged the Brewers 2-1.

      Advice: Abreu benefitted from having a hit lost in the sun, but he also had a 409-foot triple to center that would have been a homer in 21 ballparks and a lineout with a .630 xBA. Abreu is batting .284/.359/.500 in 167 plate appearances, and while he’s probably overachieving somewhat, he’s certainly worth playing in mixed leagues for now. Rotoworld Sunday, 5:18 pm
