Marlins place Smith (lat) on 10-day DLMarlins placed LHP Caleb Smith on the 10-day disabled list with a left lat strain.
Advice: Smith suffered a Grade 3 strain of his lat during his start on Sunday and will likely miss the remainder of the season. Surgery is a possibility. It's too bad, as Smith proved to be a nice pickup for the Marlins, posting a 4.19 ERA with 88 strikeouts over 77 1/3 innings. Rotoworld.comCaleb Smith Mia - SP,RP10-Day DL -
Daniel Murphy at first base Tuesday vs. RaysDaniel Murphy will start at first base Tuesday against the Rays.
Advice: Murphy got the day off on Monday despite the DH spot being available. He's hitting just .195/.233/.220 through 12 games since his return from knee surgery and has yet to make a start at second base. Rotoworld.comDaniel Murphy Was - 1B,2B -
Adames not in Tuesday's lineupWilly Adames is not in the Rays' lineup Tuesday against the Nationals.
Advice: The rookie infielder will take a seat against Washington's ace Max Scherzer. Daniel Robertson will play second base while Adeiny Hechavarria gets another start at shortstop. Rotoworld.comWilly Adames TB - SS -
Guzman (head) delivers sacrifice fly MondayRonald Guzman (head) went 1-for-2 with a sacrifice fly and a run scored Monday against the Padres.
Advice: Guzman exited Sunday's game after taking a knee to the head diving back into third base on a pickoff throw. He was put into the concussion protocol, but tests fortunately ruled out anything serious. Rotoworld.comRonald Guzman Tex - 1B -
Rojas (hand) has two hits in returnMiguel Rojas (hand) went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored Monday in his return to action against the Diamondbacks.
Advice: Rojas missed back-to-back games over the weekend due to soreness in his left hand and was scheduled for a CT scan on Monday, but apparently it's nothing to be alarmed about. The 29-year-old is batting .252/.313/.360 with seven home runs and 29 RBI over 76 games this season. Rotoworld.comMiguel Rojas Mia - 1B,3B,SS -
Ozzie Albies blasts game-winner in extrasOzzie Albies went 3-for-6 with a pair of doubles and the game-winning solo homer in the bottom of the 11th inning Monday against the Reds.
Advice: The three extra-base hits marked a career high for a single game. He now has four consecutive multi-hit games, going 12-for-22 with two doubles, a homer, four RBI and seven runs scored during the outstanding span. As such he has raised his average from .249 to .279 just since June 20. Albies is enjoying an outstanding season, already collecting 44 extra-base hits through 335 at-bats. Rotoworld.comOzzie Albies Atl - 2B -
Mike Foltynewicz posts no-decision in returnMike Foltynewicz (triceps) allowed one earned run, one hit and four walks with four strikeouts over five innings in a no-decision Monday against Cincinnati.
Advice: Foltynewicz returned from the 10-day disabled list, making his first start since June 12 after recovering from tightness in his right triceps. He might have been a bit rusty, but he still has a respectable 5-4 record with a solid 2.14 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 15 starts. He'll look for better results Sunday afternoon in St. Louis opposite John Gant. Rotoworld.comMike Foltynewicz Atl - SP -
Scott Schebler swats his 10th home runScott Schebler went 2-for-5 with a double, a solo home run, two runs scored and a walk in Monday's extra-innings loss at Atlanta.
Advice: Schebler reached 10 homers on the season when he had a solo shot off of Mike Foltynewicz in the fifth inning. He continues to have a giant month of June, even after missing three games due to a death in the family. The Hawkeye State native is 27-for-76 (.355) with eight doubles, four homers, nine RBI and 15 runs scored since flipping the calendar from May. He has raised his average from .244 to .284 as a result. Rotoworld.comScott Schebler Cin - OF -
Tyler Mahle posts no-decision in AtlantaTyler Mahle allowed three earned runs, five hits and four walks with five strikeouts over five innings in a no-decision Monday in Atlanta.
Advice: Mahle threw 52 of his 91 pitches for strikes, including just 11 first-pitch strikes to the 23 batters he faced. He entered the game 3-0 with a 1.61 ERA over his first four outings in the month of June. The California right-hander had been doing a pretty solid job, and the Reds had won each of his past five outings, so he was probably due for a stinker. He'll look to bounce back Saturday against Jhoulys Chacin and the visiting Brewers. Rotoworld.comTyler Mahle Cin - SP -
Hunter Renfroe posts three-hit gameHunter Renfroe went 3-for-4 with a double and his first stolen base of the season in Monday's 7-4 loss in Texas.
Advice: The former standout at Mississippi State has picked up the pace over the past few games, going 6-for-12 (.500) with a double, a solo home run and just one strikeout to raise his average 26 points just since June 22. He has struggled to adjust to major league pitching, but he still has plenty of time to emerge as a fantasy asset over the next couple of seasons. Rotoworld.comHunter Renfroe SD - OF -
Joey Lucchesi slightly better in no-decisionJoey Lucchesi allowed just one hit and two walks over four scoreless innings with four strikeouts Monday in Texas in a no-decision.
Advice: Lucchesi threw just 41 of his 70 pitches for strikes, including just five first-pitch strikes against the 15 batters he faced while also unleashing a wild pitch. He was unable to stick around long enough to qualify for the win, and then Robert Stock and Craig Stammen came on to cough up five runs - four earned - in the sixth inning to take the loss. The rookie will try to bounce back Sunday against Jameson Taillon and the Pirates at Petco. Rotoworld.comJoey Lucchesi SD - SP -
Keone Kela secures his 19th save MondayKeone Kela worked around two singles allowed in a scoreless ninth inning on Monday night against the Padres.
Advice: Kela threw nine of his 13 pitches for strikes while improving to 19-for-19 in save opportunities. He has allowed just three earned runs, eight hits and seven walks across his past 17 innings over 17 appearances. Kela has been one of the most reliable closers in the game, and Texas has picked up the pace in the wins department to give him a bit of a bump in fantasy appeal lately. Rotoworld.comKeone Kela Tex - RP -
Cole Hamels is so-so in home no-decisionCole Hamels allowed four earned runs, nine hits and a walk with five strikeouts over five innings in a no-decision against the Padres on Monday.
Advice: Hamels threw 64 of his 90 pitches for strikes while serving up a pair of homers. He also threw just 13 first-pitch strikes to the 23 batters he faced. Hamels has managed just one victory across his past six outings and he has just three quality starts during the span. He'll look for better results next time out against Reynaldo Lopez and the White Sox in a favorable matchup at home on Sunday. Rotoworld.comCole Hamels Tex - SP -
Shin-Soo Choo pushes on-base streak to 38Shin-Soo Choo went 3-for-5 with an RBI in Monday's 7-4 victory against the Padres to extend his career-best on-base streak to 38 games.
Advice: Choo posted the tiebreaking RBI in a five-run sixth inning. His on-base streak is the fifth-longest in club history. For streaks within a single season with no wraparound, Julio Franco's 46-game on-base streak is the longest for the franchise. He'll look to keep it going on Tuesday night against Padres LHP Tyson Ross. Rotoworld.comShin-soo Choo Tex - OF -
Taylor hits pinch-hit homer in win over CubsChris Taylor (hamstring) hit a pinch-hit homer in the eighth inning on Monday in a win over the Cubs.
Advice: Taylor is not playing right now because of the tightness in his left hamstring, but he only needed to jog as he hit a solo homer off of Justin Wilson to extend the Dodgers' lead to 2-0. It's the ninth homer of the season for Taylor, and it gives him 30 RBI in 75 games. It's unknown when Taylor will return to the starting lineup, but the fact he was able to swing the bat -- and swing it well -- could bode well for a return at some point before the end of the week. Rotoworld.comChris Taylor LAD - 2B,SS,OFDay-to-Day -
Hernandez homer helps Dodgers to victoryEnrique Hernandez homered for the 13th time this year in a win over the Cubs on Monday.
Advice: The power streak continues for Hernandez, who now has three in his last two games. This one was a solo shot off of Duane Underwood, and it was the only run of the game for the Dodgers until Chris Taylor's solo shot. The utility player is hitting just .234 with a .309 on-base percentage, but the homers and versatility make him at least worth monitoring in fantasy. Rotoworld.comKiké Hernández LAD - 2B,3B,SS,OF -
Ramirez reaches twice in loss to CardinalsJose Ramirez went 1-for-3 with a walk in a loss to the Cardinals on Monday.
Advice: The Indians couldn't do much against John Gant, but Ramirez was able to reach twice and continue his strong campaign. His on-base percentage is now up to .403, and he's slugging .613 on the 2018 season over 76 games. Rotoworld.comJosé Ramírez Cle - 2B,3B -
Norris cleans up mess in Cardinals' winBud Norris pitched a scoreless ninth inning on Sunday to pick up his 15th save in the Cardinals' victory over the Indians on Monday.
Advice: Norris came on with runners on first-and-second and nobody out in a 4-0 lead, and he was able to strike out Yan Gomes, and then got Tyler Naquin to line out into a double play to end the game. He's now 15-for-17 in save opportunities in 2018, and his ERA drops to 3.21 in 33 2/3 innings over 34 appearances. Rotoworld.comBud Norris StL - SP,RP -
Ozuna's two-run double helps Cards to victoryMarcell Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a two-run double in a victory over the Indians on Monday.
Advice: Ozuna's two-run double was all the scoring the Cardinals would need, and it came in the third inning off of Mike Clevinger. He also singled, and it ups his batting average on the season to .287 and his OPS to .763 on the year. The overall numbers pale in comparison to 2017, but he's been red-hot in June, and there's reason to think he'll continue this good run in the second half of the year. Rotoworld.comMarcell Ozuna StL - OF
