Player Notes

  • Triples in win
    Berti went 2-for-4 with a triple, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's victory over the Royals.

    Advice: Berti tied the game 4-4 in the fourth inning with a two-run triple, his first three-bagger of the year. He'd been struggling coming into Monday's contest, going 4-for-24 (.167) over his last nine games while playing a utility role in Miami. The 33-year-old Berti is still slashing a solid .277/.327/.319 with two homers, 24 runs scored, 12 RBI and seven stolen bases through 186 plate appearances this season.

  • Jose Altuve (oblique) expected to return Wednesday
    Jose Altuve (oblique) is expected to return to the Astros' starting lineup on Wednesday.

    Advice: Astros' skipper Dusty Baker told reporters that Altuve was "doing a lot better" on Monday, but that he wasn't sure if he would be ready in time to play on Tuesday. It sounds like the 33-year-old will be able to avoid another trip to the injured list, which should be news to the ears of fantasy managers. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 5:33 pm
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. to be re-evaluated on Wednesday
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. (toe) is scheduled to be re-evaluated on Wednesday.

    Advice: Chisholm was given a timeline of 4-to-6 weeks when he landed on the injured list in mid-May with his turf toe, so there's a chance that this appointment could lead to clearance to resume some baseball activities. The Marlins remain hopeful that he'll be able to return to the lineup at some point in the middle of June. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 4:15 pm
  • Jean Segura not in Marlins' lineup on Monday night
    Jean Segura is not in the Marlins' lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: It appears to be a routine maintenance day for Segura with versatile super-utility specialist Jon Berti starting at third base on Monday evening. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 2:43 pm
  • Nolan Gorman sitting against lefty on Monday night
    Nolan Gorman is not in the Cardinals' lineup for Monday's series opener against the Rangers.

    Advice: It'll be Brendan Donovan at second base on Monday evening to face left-hander Martín Pérez. Gorman figures to come off the bench at some point during the contest. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 2:37 pm
  • Braves claim Luke Williams off waivers on Monday
    Braves claimed INF Luke Williams off waivers from the Dodgers.

    Advice: Williams will head to Triple-A Gwinnett to serve as extra organizational depth for Atlanta. The versatile 26-year-old got into four contests earlier this season for Los Angeles. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 2:14 pm

  • Rays recall Vidal Bruján from Triple-A on Monday
    Rays recalled INF/OF Vidal Bruján from Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Bruján returns to the majors ahead of Monday's game against the Red Sox with Brandon Lowe heading to the injured list due to a back issue. The versatile 25-year-old has five hits in 20 at-bats over 11 games this season in the majors. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 2:06 pm
  • Rays place 2B Brandon Lowe (back) on 10-day IL
    Rays placed 2B Brandon Lowe on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 4, with lower back inflammation.

    Advice: It's extremely concerning that Lowe is dealing with another back issue after being limited to just 65 games last season due to a series of back problems. The 28-year-old slugging second baseman sat out Sunday's contest at Fenway Park after his back locked up on him and will now head to the injured list ahead of Monday's series finale. Back issues are extremely complicated matters and there is no timetable for his return at the moment. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 2:03 pm
  • Enrique Hernández likely done playing shortstop
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Enrique Hernández will start in center field against left-handers.

    Advice: Simply put, Hernández is finished playing shortstop. He's committed a staggering 13 throwing errors this season, including a couple at shortstop over the weekend, and has graded out as one of the worst defenders in baseball at the position from an advanced metrics standpoint. It sounds like Pablo Reyes and Yu Chang (hand), once he returns from the injured list, will get the bulk of the starts at the position until Trevor Story (elbow) is ready to return.
