  • Powers offense in nightcap Tuesday
    Vaughn went 2-for-3 with a walk, two home runs and four RBI in a 4-0 win over the Nationals during the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: After looking shaky in the matinee by going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts, Vaughn's bat roared to life in the nightcap as he crushed a three-run homer off Mitchell Parker in the third inning before adding a solo shot off Jackson Rutledge in the eighth. All three of Vaughn's long balls on the season have come in the last five games, and over his last seven contests the 26-year-old first baseman has gone 9-for-26 (.346) with three doubles and six RBI.

  • Does a bit of everything
    Naylor went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and a stolen base during Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Naylor took part in the Guardians' six-run second inning, plating Tyler Freeman and Andres Gimenez with a three-run blast. He also swiped his third bag of the campaign and boosted his walk rate to 10.4 percent. The 27-year-old has gone yard five times in his last 10 games and is batting .286 during that stretch.

  • Alec Burleson homers, doubles in Cardinals’ win
    Alec Burleson finished 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and a double as the Cardinals edged the Angels 7-6 on Tuesday.

    Advice: It was rather surprising that Burleson was even in the lineup tonight, as he was making just his fourth start against a left-handed pitcher. The strong showing puts him up to .272/.306/.437 this season, and while that might not be overly exciting, his .743 OPS is tops on the Cardinals, at least once one excludes the .950 mark posted by Willson Contreras before he got hurt. Burleson remains an iffy played in mixed leagues, but it’d be no surprise if he remains one of the best bats on a subpar offense. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:24 pm
  • Logs steal Tuesday
    Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Goldschmidt has gone 6-for-19 (.316) over the last four games, adding three RBI and three runs scored in that span, though he's also struck out 10 times. Any progress is a positive for the first baseman -- he went 0-for-27 over seven games to begin May. On the year, he's at a .205/.287/.282 slash line with three home runs, 14 RBI, 19 runs scored and two steals through 40 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:38 pm
  • 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.

  • 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 Yesterday, 5:08 pm
  • Joey Meneses goes 4-for-4 in win over White Sox
    Joey Meneses went 4-for-4 with a pair of RBI to lead the Nationals to a 6-3 win over the White Sox in the opening contest of Tuesday’s doubleheader.

    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 Yesterday, 4:31 pm
  • Idle Tuesday
    Steer isn't in the Reds' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Steer will catch a breather Tuesday after extending his hitting streak to five games while also driving in two runs during Monday's loss. Jacob Hurtubise will get the nod to start in left field and bat ninth while Steer rests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:06 pm

  • Not in Tuesday's lineup
    Brown is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Brown has gone 3-for-22 through nine games in May and will take a seat for Tuesday's contest. Brent Rooker is starting in left field while Kyle McCann serves as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:54 pm
