  • Mendick homers, drives in two in loss to Twins
    Danny Mendick went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in the White Sox loss to the Twins.



    Advice: Mendick blasted his first homer of the season into left field to score Andrew Benintendi and give the White Sox a 4-2 lead. It was a rare, brief display of power from Mendick, who entered the day with 11 career home runs in seven seasons. He’s riding a three-game hit streak but can be left on waivers at this time.

  • Nabs second steal
    Morel went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Mets.

    Advice: The steal was his second of the season, and both pilfers have come in his last eight contests. Morel is struggling to get going with his bat however, and through 29 games he's slashing a meager .215/.292/.374 with four homers, 14 RBI and 17 runs. Rotowire.com Today, 7:46 pm

  • Vidal Bruján has two hits in win over Rockies
    Vidal Bruján went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in a win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

    Advice: Bruján has now started four of the last five games for the Marlins, playing either third base or shortstop. While his defense has been questionable, he’s slashing .275/.341/.400 on the season. He continues to make an elite amount of contact, as he always did in the minors, and could be useful in deeper fantasy leagues if he were to secure every day playing time. Rotoworld Today, 7:41 pm

  • McMahon has three hits in loss to Miami
    Ryan McMahon went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI in a loss to the Marlins on Tuesday.

    Advice: McMahon roped a 100.6 mph double and a 97.5 mph single on the day and continues to swing the bat well this season. He’s slashing .321/.397/.495 on the year and now has 18 RBI. The Rockies lineup may not be great, but McMahon is doing more than enough to warrant being in fantasy lineups every week. Rotoworld Today, 7:38 pm

  • Josh Smith homers as Rangers down Nationals
    Josh Smith went 2-for-3 with a home run and two runs scored in Tuesday’s win over the Nationals.



    Advice: Smith hit his second homer of the season, a solo blast, off of Jordan Weems in the bottom up the sixth to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead. It was the second of two hits for Smith on the night, as the young third baseman has filled in admirably for Josh Jung and is now slashing .317/.417/.500 through the first month of the season. With Jung out for at least 4-6 more weeks, Smith should continue to have some low-end fantasy upside batting in a Rangers offense that ranked 14th in runs scored heading into the day.

  • Enters for injured teammate
    Dalbec entered Tuesday's game in the bottom of the fifth inning after Garrett Cooper was hit by a pitch on the wrist. Dalbec stole a base and was hit by a pitch in his lone plate appearance.

    Advice: The early word on Cooper's injury is a contusion, and it's unclear how much time he'll need. The development puts Dalbec back on the fantasy radar; he had been the primary first baseman prior to Boston acquiring Cooper last week. Rotowire.com Today, 7:13 pm

  • Remains out Tuesday
    Sano (knee) isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Phillies.

    Advice: Knee inflammation will cause Sano to miss his fourth consecutive game, and the 30-year-old infielder could end up on the injured list if he's unable to return to the lineup soon. Cole Tucker will serve as the Angels' DH and bat seventh while Sano sits. Rotowire.com Today, 6:48 pm

  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Angels transferred Stefanic (quadriceps) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: A quad strain has kept Stefanic on the injured list since the beginning of the season, and his move to the 60-day IL pushes his eligible return date back to May 27. He's been fielding grounders and taking batting practice and has recently resumed a running program, though it's unclear how far away he is from beginning a rehab assignment.
