  • Records two hits in return
    Machado went 2-for-4 in Monday's 6-1 win against Oakland.

    Advice: Machado missed four games due to a strained right hip flexor before returning to the lineup as the Padres' designated hitter Monday. He singled in his first at-bat and reached third base on an ensuing single and walk. Machado notched another single in the seventh and again reached third on a pair of singles before being pulled for a pinch runner, though that decision didn't appear to be related to a worsening of the hip issue. It's unclear when Machado may be asked to play the field again. Rotowire.com Today, 10:02 am
     
  • Sheds walking boot
    Hernaiz (ankle) is out of his walking boot and will begin a strength and fitness program this week, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The 22-year-old has been making very slow progress from his severe ankle sprain, but it appears his recovery is starting to gather some momentum just over a month after he initially suffered the injury. Hernaiz's next step after the strength and fitness program will be to resume baseball activities, with the start date for that benchmark still to be determined. Rotowire.com Today, 9:58 am

  • Reaches three times in win
    Kim went 1-for-1 with two walks, two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 6-1 victory against Oakland.

The shortstop added a stolen base in the victory, giving him 14 on the campaign. Kim has struggled at the plate for much of the early part of the season but may be starting to heat up, going 4-for-12 with two homers, seven RBI and four walks over his past four contests.

  • Lewis blasts fourth home run Monday
    Royce Lewis went 1-for-4 with two runs scored and a two-run home run against the Rockies on Monday.

    Advice: Lewis’ home run was his fourth of the season in only seven games played. He’s done quite a job at making up for lost time. Lewis hit 15 home runs with a .240 ISO in 58 games last year before putting on a power display in the playoffs as well. He continues to show that his power is legitimate. Lewis just needs to stay on the field to be a major contributor this year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:12 pm

    Advice: Henderson crushed the first pitch of the game 430 feet for his 21st homer of the season and ninth career leadoff blast. The Orioles shortstop has been scorching hot in June, hitting .350 (14-for-40) with three homers, 13 runs scored and five RBI this month. Overall, Henderson is slashing .274/.375/.599 in 296 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:03 pm
     
  • Gunnar Henderson hits 21st homer in win over Rays
    Gunnar Henderson went 3-for-5 with his 21st home run of the season on Monday, leading the Orioles to a 5-2 victory over the Rays.

    Advice: Henderson led off the contest with a gargantuan 430-foot moonshot to straightaway center field -- his seventh leadoff homer of the season -- to give the Orioles an early advantage and put him just three round-trippers behind Yankees superstar Aaron Judge, who leads the majors with 24 big flies. He also added a pair of additional hits, including a double, to cap off a stellar three-hit performance. It was his fifth three-hit effort of the year and 20th multi-hit game. The 22-year-old fantasy stalwart has been on an absolute tear since the start of June, batting .350 (14-for-40) with three homers and one steal over 10 games during that span.
