  • Goes yard again
    Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Monday's 2-1 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Ramirez provided the go-ahead run in the sixth inning, tagging Jack Flaherty for a solo homer. Ramirez has now generated a home run in back-to-back games but is still trying to dig his way out of a slump. In his last 10 appearances, Ramirez is 5-for-35 (.143) with five RBI, five runs scored and no multi-hit games. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
  • Nabs fourth steal
    Freeman went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Monday's 2-1 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Freeman opened May 1-for-12 across four contests, and his last multi-hit effort before Monday was April 19. The 24-year-old is slashing just .204/.301/.347 this season while adding three home runs, four steals, 12 RBI, 17 runs scored and five doubles across 113 plate appearances. With Steven Kwan (hamstring) landing on the injured list Monday, Freeman should have more job security in center field while Estevan Florial, Ramon Laureano and Will Brennan combine to fill the corner outfield spots.

  • Goes deep, swipes bag
    Morel went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer, a walk and a steal in Monday's loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Morel put the Cubs on the board with his two-run shot in the sixth inning after snagging a steal earlier in the contest. He has five hits over his last five games and four of them have left the yard. The 24-year-old is slashing .220/.315/.449 with 12 extra-base hits (eight home runs), four stolen bases and 23 RBI through 35 games this season. Rotowire.com Today, 8:36 pm
  • Maikel Garcia drives in two in win against MIL
    Maikel Garcia went 1-for-2 with a two-run RBI single to help lift the Royals to a 3-2 win versus the Brewers on Monday.

    Advice: It wasn’t pretty, but it got the job done. Garcia got great contact on a sinker off Elvis Peguero in the sixth inning that got in between shortstop and second base. According to Statcast, the hit probability was just 41%, but with an exit velocity of 106.5 MPH, Garcia definitely earned the hit. The 24-year-old is slashing .236/.292/.671 with four homers and 22 RBI this season. Rotoworld Today, 8:36 pm
  • Jonah Bride optioned to Triple-A by Marlins
    Marlins optioned Jonah Bride to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Bride will head back to Triple-A with Jake Burger (oblique) back from the injured list. He’ll likely be back as a bench option at some point before 2024 comes to a conclusion. Rotoworld Today, 4:42 pm
  • Jake Burger (oblique) activated off injured list
    Marlins activated INF Jake Burger (oblique) off the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Burger is back after spending just under three weeks on the injured list with a left oblique strain. He returns to a .228/.281/.421 slash with three homers and 15 RBI in 16 games. He’s hitting third and playing third base Monday, and Jonah Bride was optioned to Triple-A to make room for Burger on the roster. Rotoworld Today, 4:39 pm
  • Matt Chapman goes 0-for-4, fans three times
    Matt Chapman finished 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Monday against the Phillies.

    Advice: Chapman is down to .209/.257/.345 on the season. His exit velocity numbers aren’t as good as usual, and he’s hitting more groundballs than he typically does. He’s also walking at half of his usual rate, though that doesn’t much matter for fantasy purposes. He’ll most likely bounce back some, but there’s little reason to think he’ll start being very useful in mixed leagues. Rotoworld Today, 4:06 pm
  • Out against lefty
    Gorman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: The Cardinals are facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Sean Manaea) for the second day in a row, so the lefty-hitting Gorman will once again head to the bench. Jose Fermin will fill in for Gorman at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 3:44 pm
  • Not starting Monday
    Wisdom is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Wisdom had served as the Cubs' designated hitter in three of the past four games, going 4-for-11 with a home run, a double, two two walks, two RBI, three runs and two stolen bases during that stretch. Christopher Morel will get a day out of the field and will be deployed at DH, but Wisdom could have a hold on a near-everyday role until Seiya Suzuki (oblique) returns from the injured list.
