    • Notches seventh save
      Hoffman struck out two batters in a scoreless inning to collect the save Tuesday versus the Cubs.

      Advice: The Phillies saw a 6-1 lead quickly get cut to 6-4 after Seiya Suzuki hit a three-run shot off Jose Ruiz in the ninth inning, so Philadelphia brought in Hoffman to make sure things didn't get out of hand. Jose Alvarado remains the team leader with 12 saves on the year, but Hoffman has also proven to be a reliable option with a 1.24 ERA in 36.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 12:29 am
       
    • On base four times in win
      Donovan went 3-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Pirates.

      Advice: Donovan had just six hitless games in June -- two of which were at the start of the month and two more at the end. He got off to a positive start in July with Tuesday's effort, his third three-hit game over his last 11 contests. He's up to a .270/.340/.414 slash line with eight home runs, 42 RBI, 37 runs scored, two stolen bases, 18 doubles and one triple over 79 games. Donovan's hit well enough to have a near-everyday role in left field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:51 pm

    • Perfect for 18th save
      Diaz picked up the save Tuesday against the Yankees, striking out one across a perfect ninth inning.

      Advice: Diaz only needed nine pitches to retire Trent Grisham, Austin Wells and Anthony Volpe in order Tuesday. Diaz has fired five consecutive scoreless innings and is up to 18 saves on the season which is tied for eighth most in baseball. Despite the strong save total, Diaz owns a 4.60 ERA across 31.1 innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:50 pm
       
    • Lifts 13th homer
      Burleson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Pirates.

      Advice: Burleson fizzled late in June, going 1-for-14 over his last four contests, but he started July on a high note. The outfielder had great June overall, hitting .271 with seven homers, 20 RBI, 18 runs scored, three stolen bases and an .824 OPS over 28 contests. That's earned him a starting role in right field and as the Cardinals' No. 2 hitter. For the season, Burleson is slashing .280/.313/.466 with 13 homers, 40 RBI, 33 runs scored and five steals through 77 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:48 pm
       
    • Hoffman picks up surprise save vs. Cubs
      Jeff Hoffman pitched a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his seventh save in Tuesday’s win over the Cubs.

      Advice: The Phillies entered the ninth inning with a comfortable 6-1 lead but saw that lead slip to 6-4 after reliever José Ruiz failed to record an out while allowing a three-run homer to Seiya Suzuki. Hoffman ended up being tasked with putting out the fire and went on to strike out two of the three batters he faced. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:00 pm
       
    • Alexis Díaz earns a save in win over Yankees
      Alexis Díaz pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn a save in a 5-4 win over the Yankees on Tuesday.

      Advice: Díaz has now converted 11 straight save chances and has pitched to a 1.98 ERA in 14 2/3 innings over that stretch. However, some of the early command issues remain as Díaz has a 13.2 percent walk rate over that same span. He may remain volatile given his subpar command and he doesn’t miss as many bats as your typical closer, but he remains locked into the closer’s role on a solid team and will continue to rack up saves.

    • Nursing head injury
      Bader said after Tuesday's win over Washington that he was removed from the game after hitting his head/neck on the outfield wall, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Bader ran into the outfield wall while trying to make a catch during the third inning and had to be taken out of the game shortly afterward. He cleared all medical tests following the incident and said he's hopeful to return to action Wednesday. The 30-year-old entered Tuesday's contest slashing .265/.306/.529 with two home runs over his last 10 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:30 pm
       
    • Harrison Bader makes precautionary exit Tuesday
      Harrison Bader was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Nationals for precautionary reasons after an awkward collision with the right-center field wall.

      Advice: The Mets declined to cite a specific reason for Bader’s removal from the contest. However, MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo notes that his left arm hit the right-center field wall awkwardly during that third-inning collision and he appeared pretty shaken up afterwards. It’s possible he’ll be evaluated for a concussion as well just to be safe. There should be some sort of update on his status following the contest. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:08 pm
       
    • Exits early Tuesday
      Bader was removed from Tuesday's game against the Nationals due to an apparent injury, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

      Advice: Bader crashed into the outfield wall while attempting to make a catch in the third inning, and he was replaced in center field by Brandon Nimmo (forehead) to begin the fourth. It's not immediately clear what is bothering Bader, but the Mets will take a closer look at him and should offer more details relatively soon. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:51 pm
