  • Hampson drives in one run for Royals in loss
    Garrett Hampson went 1-for-3 with one RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Hampson drove in the Royals’ first run of the night when he singled home Nick Loftin in the fifth inning. It was a tough evening for the Royals, as the heart of their order failed to record a hit, leaving Hampson and the lower third of the order to act as run support. Hampson has now hit safely in five straight games but is off the fantasy radar due to his lack of offensive production. He’s driven in just six runs on the year. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago

  • Refsnyder has two hits, HR in win over Orioles
    Rob Refsnyder went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a win over the Orioles on Tuesday.

    Advice: Refsnyder had a 102.2 mph double off of Grayson Rodriguez in the first inning and then clobbered a 419-foot home run in the ninth that left the bat at 105.1 mph. It was his second home run on the season, and he now has 13 RBI to go along with a .347/.437/.547 slash line in 87 plate appearances this season. With Tyler O’Neill visiting a specialist for his troublesome right knee, there is a chance that Refsnyder starts getting more regular at-bats for the Red Sox in the near future.

  • Will Benson homers in loss to Cardinals
    Will Benson went 1-for-1 with a walk and a solo home run in a loss to the Cardinals on Tuesday.

    Advice: In one game, we saw the pluses and minuses of the Will Benson experience. He hit a solo home run off Kyle Gibson but was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning with a left-handed reliever on the mound. The 25-year-old flashed some intriguing power and speed upside last year, but he now has a .199/.300/.416 triple slash and the Reds are happy to remove him in the middle of a game when a lefty comes in. That makes it hard to roster him in fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Today, 6:28 pm

  • Resting Tuesday
    Moniak isn't in the Angels' lineup Tuesday against the Yankees.

    Advice: Moniak will take a seat Tuesday after going 1-for-11 over his last four games. His absence will allow Kevin Pillar to start in center field while batting fourth. Rotowire.com Today, 5:45 pm

  • Sitting Tuesday
    Duran isn't in the Rangers' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Duran will take a seat Tuesday despite putting together a respectable five-game hitting streak. His absence will allow Travis Jankowski to start in left field while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 5:03 pm

  • Not starting versus lefty
    Peralta isn't in the Padres' lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

    Advice: With lefty Jesus Luzardo on the mound for Miami, the lefty-hitting Peralta will watch the beginning of Tuesday's game from the dugout. Manny Machado will instead operate as San Diego's DH while Donovan Solano picks up a start at third base, batting sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 3:18 pm
     
  • Designated for assignment
    The Giants designated McKenna for assignment Tuesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Advice: Just 10 days after getting claimed off waivers from Baltimore, McKenna's time with the Giants has come to an end. The 27-year-old outfielder went 0-for-6 with a stolen base and a run scored in four games with the Giants. He sports a .626 OPS in 523 plate appearances across his MLB career and could draw some interest on the waiver wire from a team in need of outfield depth. Tyler Fitzgerald was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 3:01 pm

  • Giants designate Ryan McKenna for assignment
    Giants designated OF Ryan McKenna for assignment.

    Advice: Mckenna was claimed off waivers earlier this month from the Orioles and winds up getting jettisoned from San Francisco’s 40-man roster after going hitless in six at-bats over four contests. Rotoworld Today, 2:52 pm

  • Avisaíl García (hamstring) starts rehab assignment
    Avisaíl García (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: García hit the injured list back in late April with a left hamstring strain and should be an option again for the Marlins at some point in early June. The 32-year-old veteran outfielder has been a colossal disappointment for Miami since signing a four-year, $52 million pact prior to the 2022 campaign as a free agent. Rotoworld Today, 1:26 pm
