  • Mike Tauchman belts game-tying homer in eighth
    Mike Tauchman belted a game-tying three-run homer in the eighth inning on Sunday night, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Cubs past the Red Sox.

    Advice: The Cubs entered the eighth inning trailing 4-1 on Sunday night, but they started a rally as Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nico Hoerner started the frame with singles and Tauchman followed with a 402-foot (104.3 mph EV) three-run shot that tied things up at 4-4. That would be the extent of their offense though. Tauchman finished the night 2-for-4 and is now hitting a healthy .294/.429/.500 with three homers, 10 RBI and one stolen base on the season.

  • Kevin Pillar elects to explore free agent market
    Kevin Pillar has elected free agency.

    Advice: The 35-year-old outfielder had been designated for assignment by the White Sox on Friday. He passed through waivers unclaimed, but rather than accepting his outright assignment to Triple-A Charlotte, he opted to peddle his wares on the free agent market. It wouldn’t be terribly surprising to see him wind up back with the Braves on a minor league pact. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago

  • Three-run homer in loss
    Bauers went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 15-5 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Bauers look Marcus Stroman deep for a game-tying three-run shot in the bottom of the fifth inning, knotting the game up at 4-4. He also added a double and a single in the contest, securing his second straight multi-hit performance in a game he started. Bauers is now batting .214 with two home runs, 12 RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base over 56 at-bats in 18 games this season. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • Elects free agency
    Pillar cleared waivers and elected to become a free agent from the White Sox, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Advice: Pillar was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Friday and he'll now look for another opportunity elsewhere instead of reporting to Triple-A Charlotte. The outfielder has struggled to a .160 batting average with a home run, four RBI, a run scored and two stolen bases over 25 at-bats in 17 games this season. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Nolan Jones leaves game with stiff back on Sunday
    Nolan Jones was removed from Sunday’s game against the Astros due to stiffness in his back.

    Advice: The 25-year-old outfielder has been battling the back issue for a while now and is very frustrated with his latest flareup on Sunday. Rockies’ skipper Bud Black told reporters on Sunday that they’ll determine over the next couple of days whether or not he’ll require a trip to the injured list. Fantasy managers who are relying on Jones for next week should be sure to have an alternative option in place. Rotoworld 34 minutes ago

    Advice: Judge launched a solo shot off Tobias Myers in the top of the first inning, later adding two more base knocks, including a two RBI single in the fifth inning. The homer was his sixth of the season and he's now gone deep in back-to-back games and three times in the last five contests overall.

  • Slump continues
    Carroll batted seventh and went 0-for-4 in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mariners.

    Advice: Carroll, who was dropped in the order Wednesday following a day off amid a slump, has hit seventh or eighth over the last four contests. It hasn't helped awake the bat. Carroll is 0-for-13 in those four games and is 1-for-25 with 11 strikeouts over the last seven. He's sitting at .189/.295/.236 with just five RBI over 27 games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:49 pm
