  • David Fry in Tuesday’s lineup at DH vs. Orioles
    David Fry (elbow) is in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Fry is back in Cleveland’s lineup for the second straight contest after making an early exit from Sunday’s game agains the Blue Jays due to right elbow inflammation. It obviously doesn’t seem like a massive concern going forward. Rotoworld Today, 1:11 pm

  • On bench Tuesday
    Mullins isn't starting Tuesday's game against Cleveland, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Mullins will dodge a matchup with southpaw Logan Allen on Tuesday, with Colton Cowser taking over in center field. Mullins is slashing .204/.249/.351 with 16 stolen bases across 71 games. Rotowire.com Today, 11:39 am
     
  • Ends drought on basepaths
    Young went 0-for-3 with a run scored and his 18th stolen base of the season in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Padres.

    Advice: The center fielder was hit by a pitch to lead off the fifth inning, stole third base after a CJ Abrams infield single, then trotted home on a Joey Meneses knock. Young had racked up seven hits over the prior three games, and through 20 games in June he's slashing .262/.314/.354; however, Monday's steal was surprisingly his first of the month in three attempts.

  • Jurickson Profar wins game in 10th for Padres
    Jurickson Profar delivered the game-winner in the 10th as the Padres edged the Nationals 7-6 on Monday.

    Advice: Profar’s lone hit in five at-bats seemed to hang in the air forever, but it was put in the perfect spot to elude Lane Thomas and Jacob Young in right-center. The two-run single — it would have been at least a double under normal circumstances — came after Luis Arraez was walked to load the bases. Profar has hit in eight straight games, but since he’s collected just nine hits in that span and he’s been so productive on the season, he’s lost 20 points of OPS during the stretch (.917 to .897).

  • Tosses 5.2 scoreless frames Monday
    Crochet took a no-decision against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing five hits and striking out six batters over 5.2 scoreless innings.

    Advice: Crochet was on his game with 16 whiffs and six punchouts against one of MLB's top offenses, but Dodgers starter James Paxton traded scoreless frames with him, and both hurlers had to settle for a no-decision. Crochet continues to impress in what has been a breakout first campaign as a starter -- he lowered his ERA to 3.05 with Monday's outing and ranks second in the league with 130 strikeouts. The southpaw has given up three or fewer earned runs while going at least five frames in 11 consecutive starts. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:09 pm
     
  • Jo Adell goes 0-for-4, hitting .111 in June
    Jo Adell finished 0-for-4 against the A’s on Monday, leaving him 7-for-63 with one homer in June.

    Advice: Adell looked like maybe the AL’s most improved player over the first quarter of the season, but he’s all of the way down to .181/.242/.386 now. At least his defensive gains have remained intact. The Angels ought to keep playing him regularly, probably for the rest of the season, but it’s certainly still up for debate whether he belongs in their plans for 2025 and beyond.

  • Crochet strikes out six in scoreless start Monday
    Garrett Crochet allowed no runs in 5 2/3 innings and got a no-decision against the Dodgers on Monday.



    Advice: Crochet gave up five hits, walked none and struck out six. It was a pretty good effort considering he was facing the Dodgers, but the White Sox couldn’t score any runs to support Crochet. He was one out away from a quality start, breaking a streak of six consecutive quality starts. Crochet continues to build a potential Cy Young award case with a 3.05 ERA and 130 strikeouts on the season. There’s no doubt he’s been a fantasy MVP, though. The 25-year-old left-hander is set to face the Rockies at home this weekend. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:10 pm
     
  • Yandy Díaz sparks Rays to comeback win over M’s
    Yandy Díaz came through with a tie-breaking RBI single in the eighth inning on Monday, propelling the Rays to a 4-3 comeback victory over the Mariners.

    Advice: Díaz capped off Tampa Bay’s late-inning rally by chopping a go-ahead run-scoring single into right field off Seattle closer Andrés Muñoz. The 32-year-old on-base machine has heated up at the dish of late, notching multi-hit performances in five of his last six games since June 19. He’s also homered twice during that span, just for good measure. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:42 pm

  • Maikel Garcia leads off, shifts to second base
    Maikel Garcia is back in the leadoff spot and playing second base for the Royals on Monday.

    Advice: It’s the first time Garcia has played anywhere other third this year, but the Royals just called up a third baseman in CJ Alexander and have Michael Massey apparently limited to DH at the moment. As a result, Garcia will get to show his versatility. The return to the leadoff spot is also good news; he had led off throughout the season before being dropped to seventh on Saturday and eighth on Sunday. Considering that he has a .291 OBP, there’s no blaming the Royals for making the switch. Still, he remains a better bet than the alternative options to bat ahead of Bobby Witt Jr. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:07 pm
