  • Kyle Isbel returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Twins
    Kyle Isbel (face) has returned to the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Twins.

    Advice: Isbel returns for Kansas City following a two-game absence after suffering a facial fracture when he fouled a ball off his face during Saturday’s contest against the Rays. The 27-year-old is back in center field and batting ninth on Tuesday evening at Target Field. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:32 pm
     
  • Returns to lineup
    Isbel (face) will start in center field and bat ninth in Tuesday's game in Minnesota.

    Advice: Isbel missed two games after fouling a ball off his face over the weekend, but he's feeling well enough to take part in Tuesday's contest. The 27-year-old has just a .599 OPS this season as the Royals' primary center fielder. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:20 pm
     
  • Swipes another pair of bags Monday
    Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a run and two stolen bases in Monday's 3-2 victory over Houston.

    Advice: Rodriguez scored Seattle's second run in the first inning and padded his stat line with a pair of steals in the seventh. The star outfielder has four thefts over his past two contests following a 16-game stretch without any steals from May 9 to May 25. Though he's been pretty quiet with a .265/.309/.342 slash line on the season, Rodriguez has built some momentum in going 6-for-13 with two homers, five RBI, four runs and four stolen bases over his past three games.

  • Bryson Stott gets a day off on Monday
    Bryson Stott is not in the lineup for the Phillies game against the Giants on Monday.

    Advice: It’s a routine day off for Stott, which was a decision made easier by the Giants starting left-hander Blake Snell. Edmundo Sosa will move up to sixth in the lineup while Whit Merrifield will play second base and hit seventh. Cristian Pache will also start in left field with Brandon Marsh sitting against the lefty. Rotoworld Monday, 11:19 am
     
  • Sitting against left-hander
    Stott is not in the lineup for Monday's game in San Francisco.

    Advice: The Giants are starting reigning National League Cy Young winner and southpaw Blake Snell on Monday, so the left-handed hitting Stott will receive a day off. Whit Merrifield will handle second base for the Phillies. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:17 am
     
  • Picks up first steal
    Herrera went 0-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Herrera is in a bit of a slump, having gone 1-for-12 with four walks and four strikeouts over his last five games. The catcher's steal Sunday was the first of his career. He's added a .262/.336/.355 slash line with three home runs, 15 RBI and 14 runs scored over 122 plate appearances this season. Herrera continues to occupy a starting role behind the dish with Pedro Pages as backup while Willson Contreras (forearm) is likely out until mid-July. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:22 am
     
  • Kyle Isbel remains out of the lineup on Monday
    Kyle Isbel (face) is not in the Royals lineup on Monday.

    Advice: Isbel fouled a ball off his face in Saturday’s game and has now missed two straight games. There’s no indication that he’ll be out for an extended period of time, but he’s also just 11-for-52 (.212) in 17 games in May. Dairon Blanco will start in his place on Monday, and if the Royals ever decided to give Blanco regular playing time over Isbel, his speed would be a major difference-maker in fantasy leagues.

  • Held out again Monday
    Isbel (face) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Minnesota.

    Advice: Isbel suffered a facial injury Saturday and will now miss a second straight start. He's considered day-to-day. Dairon Blanco will get the call in center field Monday. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:41 am
     
  • Does it all Sunday
    Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a home run, four RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases in Sunday's 9-5 win against Washington.

    Advice: Rodriguez did it all in this one, establishing a season-best with four RBI and recording a steal for the first time since May 8. The 23-year-old has largely been a disappointment this season, but performances such as this are a reminder of his incredible versatility. With home runs in consecutive games, Rodriguez might finally be heating up for fantasy managers. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:21 pm
