  • On fire in June
    Vaughn went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Tuesday against the Astros.

    Advice: Vaughn grounded into a pair of fielder's choice outs to tally his two RBI. Though it wasn't a particularly notable performance, he now has five home runs, 14 RBI and 12 runs scored across 14 games in June while also hitting .356. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:53 pm
     
  • Without return timeline
    Trout (knee) said Tuesday that his recovery from meniscus surgery has gone slower than expected and that he's without an official timetable for return, Sam Blum of The Athleticreports.

    Advice: The 32-year-old underwent the procedure to repair a torn meniscus in early May and has yet to start up a running program. Trout is currently trying to find exercises that allow him to progress with minimal soreness, so he doesn't appear particularly close to baseball work. Barring a significant improvement in the near future, Trout seems likely to be sidelined well beyond the All-Star break in mid-July. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:09 pm

  • Mike Trout (knee) remains without return timeline
    Mike Trout (knee) told reporters Tuesday that he hasn’t resumed running and remains without a definitive return timeline.

    Advice: Trout added that his recovery from last month’s surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his left knee has been progressing slower than he wants, which doesn’t exactly inspire confidence that he’ll make it back at any point in the near future. The 32-year-old generational talent is roughly six weeks removed from the procedure and there isn’t any sort of timeline for his potential return at this juncture. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:41 pm

  • Absent from Cubs lineup
    Morel is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Morel has only one hit over his last five games and tough right-hander Logan Webb will take the ball Tuesday for San Francisco, so it's a sensible spot for a day off. David Bote is getting the call at third base while Morel regroups. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:59 pm
     
  • Starting Tuesday
    Winker (knee) is batting third and playing left field Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Winker exited Saturday's game against the Marlins with a right knee injury, but he's back in the Nationals' lineup after a one-game absence. The 30-year-old is slashing .265/.378/.390 with 11 stolen bases this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:12 pm
     
  • Jesse Winker (knee) returns to lineup Tuesday
    Jesse Winker (knee) is hitting third and playing left field Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Winker missed Sunday’s game after being removed Saturday due to knee discomfort, but after a clean MRI, the 30-year-old outfielder is back and hitting in the middle of the lineup against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:02 pm
     
  • Draws five walks Monday
    Freeman went 1-for-1 with two runs and five walks in a 9-5 win against Colorado on Monday.

    Advice: Freeman's patience was on display in the victory, as he tied a Dodgers franchise record by drawing five free passes. The veteran isn't shy about taking walks -- his 14.6 percent walk rate on the campaign ranks eighth among qualified MLB hitters and is on pace for the highest mark of his career. Of course, Freeman is plenty capable when swinging the bat as well, as he's currently batting .302, putting him on pace for his fifth straight season hitting at least .300.

  • Belts game-winning homer
    Estrada went 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk and four total RBI in Monday's 7-6 win against the Cubs.

    Advice: Estrada was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the top of the seventh inning to give San Francisco its first lead, though Chicago quickly re-took the lead in the bottom of the frame. The Giants remained behind until the ninth, when Estrada blasted a three-run homer that proved to be the game-winning hit. The long ball snapped a 20-game homerless stretch for the infielder. With nine home runs on the season, Estrada is five away from tying his career-high mark. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:33 pm
     
  • Freddie Freeman walks five times in victory
    Freddie Freeman singled and walked five times Monday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Freeman became the first player to walk five times in a game since Matt Chapman on Aug. 12, 2021 and the first to both walk five times and collect a hit since, unbelievably, Rougned Odor on Aug. 2, 2018. Freeman had two runs scored and zero RBI to show for his success tonight. Rotoworld Monday, 9:08 pm
