  • Rhys Hoskins out 2-4 weeks with hamstring strain
    Rhys Hoskins will miss 2-4 weeks with a right hamstring strain.

    Advice: The timetable comes from Brewers manager Pat Murphy just a few hours after Hoskins landed on the injured list prior to Tuesday’s showdown against the Pirates. It sounds like an MRI on the 31-year-old first baseman’s hamstring revealed merely a low-grade strain. There’s a chance he’s back at some point in early-to-mid June, barring any setbacks.

  • Andrew Vaughn slugs two homers in win over Nats
    Andrew Vaughn crushed a pair of homers to power the White Sox to a 4-0 victory over the Nationals in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader.

    Advice: Vaughn was a one-man wrecking crew in this one and appears to be coming out of his extended slump at the outset of the season with three homers over his last four contests. He took Nationals starter Parker Mitchell deep for a three-run shot in the third inning before capping off the multi-homer effort with an eighth-inning solo blast off rookie Jackson Rutledge.

  • Matt Olson has two hits, HR in win over Cubs
    Matt Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in a win over the Cubs on Tuesday.

    Advice: Olson took a fourth-inning pitch from Jameson Taillon and clobbered it 432 feet at 108.2 mph off the bat. He also had a 105.2 mph double in his first at-bat of the game. It hasn’t been the best start to the season for the slugger, but he’s still barreling the ball an impressive amount pulling the ball more than ever, and swinging and missing only a little bit more than normal. His zone contact is the highest it’s been since 2021, so both the power and batting average should be coming shortly. Rotoworld Today, 6:46 pm

  • Resting against southpaw
    Sheets isn't in the White Sox's lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals.

    Advice: With southpaw Mitchell Parker set to start on the mound for Washington, the lefty-hitting Sheets will take a seat for the nightcap. Andrew Benintendi, Rafael Ortega and Tommy Pham will start across the outfield while Sheets rests. Rotowire.com Today, 5:08 pm

  • Joey Meneses goes 4-for-4 in win over White Sox

    Advice: Meneses put Washington ahead in the fifth inning with a two-run single to left field off White Sox starter Chris Flexen. He capped off a four-hit effort with a leadoff single in the eighth inning before being lifted for a pinch-runner. Rotoworld Today, 4:31 pm

  • Sitting Tuesday
    Tellez isn't in the lineup Tuesday versus the Brewers.

    Advice: Tellez has recorded just one hit across his last 22 plate appearances in an eight game span. For the season, the 29-year-old currently sits below the Mendoza Line amidst this slump. In his absence, Connor Joe will start at first base and bat cleanup. Rotowire.com Today, 3:28 pm
