  • Sent back to minors
    The Rockies optioned Chivilli to Double-A Hartford on Monday.

    Advice: Chivilli was up with the big club over the weekend for its series in Philadelphia, but he did not make an appearance. The 21-year-old's major-league debut will have to wait for another time. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
     
  • Back from paternity leave
    The Rockies activated Lawrence from the paternity leave list Monday.

    Advice: Lawrence missed the Rockies' weekend series in Pittsburgh but will be back for the start of their series against the Giants which begins Tuesday. He holds a 6.00 ERA this season but does lead the club with two saves and should regain his spot atop the bullpen pecking order. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Cast off 40-man roster
    The Giants designated Jefferies for assignment Monday.

    Advice: He'll cede his spot on the 40-man roster to right-hander Mason Black, who was called up from Triple-A Sacramento ahead of his scheduled start Monday versus the Phillies. Jefferies has made two appearances (one start) for the Giants this season, giving up nine earned runs on 14 hits and two walks over 4.2 innings. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago

  • Jorge Soler (shoulder) remains out on Monday
    Jorge Soler (shoulder) is not in the Giants lineup on Monday against the Phillies.

    Advice: It’s the second straight missed game for Soler, who is battling shoulder discomfort. It doesn’t seem like a major concern, but it is certainly something to think about for fantasy managers in weekly lineup lock leagues. Lamonte Wade Jr. will DH for the Giants on Monday with Wilmer Flores getting the start at first base against a right-handed pitcher. Tyler Fitzgerald is also playing shortstop as Nick Ahmed gets a regular day off. Rotoworld Today, 10:01 am

  • On base three times in loss
    Rooker went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs in a loss to the Marlins on Sunday.

    Advice: A day after slugging two home runs in the same inning, Rooker laced the only extra-base hit of the afternoon for the Athletics. Rooker's multi-hit effort was his second straight and third in the last eight games, pushing his slash line over the entirety of that span to a spectacular .407/.500/.852 across 32 plate appearances.

  • Picks up second win Sunday
    Munoz (2-2) got the win against the Astros on Sunday, firing 1.1 perfect innings during which he recorded a strikeout.

    Advice: Munoz continued what is turning into his best stretch of pitching this season, locating eight of his 11 pitches for strikes on his way to his ninth scoreless effort in the last 10 appearances, including his fifth straight. The right-hander has whittled his ERA and WHIP to 2.03 and 1.13, respectively, and he'd also recorded saves in three consecutive appearances before Sunday's victory. Rotowire.com Today, 9:40 am
     
  • Another productive day Sunday
    Urias went 1-for-3 with two RBI from a bases-loaded walk and a run-scoring single in a win over the Astros on Sunday.

    Advice: Both of Urias' RBI were particularly noteworthy, as he displayed some timely plate discipline with the bases jammed in the second inning and then drove in the game-tying run with an eighth-inning single that plated Dylan Moore. Urias' .738 OPS belies some of his struggles at the plate, as he's still carrying a .167 average and .286 on-base percentage; however, he's also contributed 10 RBI in 20 games, the byproduct of a .444 average in 14 plate appearances with men in scoring position.
