Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jorge Soler (back) was able to take batting practice ahead of Saturday's game. According to Jeff Fletcher, Soler could be activated from the injured list soon. Soler landed on the injured list on June 20 due to lower back inflammation. He has been doing defensive drills, running, and now swinging the bat. It sounds like Soler could return when first eligible, which is Monday. LaMonte Wade and Gustavo Campero have been splitting up duties in right field while Soler is out. Soler has been quiet with the bat this season and is really only worth a look in deep leagues.

Minnesota Twins infielder Royce Lewis (hamstring) is hopeful to rejoin the big league club on Tuesday. Lewis is currently hitless during two rehab games, but the team feels he's on the verge of returning. He'll likely need to play some third base before being activated. If not Tuesday, Lewis might return a few days after that if he needs a few more at-bats. Before getting injured, Lewis was struggling with a .202/.282/.303 with two homers and nine RBI this season. He has been on and off the injured list throughout his career, so hopefully he'll be able to get in some consistent playing time now.

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in his team's 8-2 win against the visiting Washington Nationals. He also drew a walk and struck out. The 33-year-old clobbered his thirteenth long ball of the season off Nationals' reliever Zach Brzykcy to tie the score at two apiece, and kick off what would be a six-run seventh inning. Trout's overall .231/.345/.447 season line doesn't appear noteworthy at first glance, but he's been much better in June (.272/.423/.383) aside from the lack of extra-base hits. Furthermore, he boasts his best average exit velocity (92.5 MPH) and hard-hit rate (54.1%) since 2020. Expect his average to continue rising.

Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Jonathan Aranda went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 11-3 road win against the Baltimore Orioles. He also walked and struck out. Tampa Bay jumped on Orioles' starter Zach Eflin early, scoring four runs in the top of the first, which Aranda supplied half of. His tenth homer of the season left the bat at a scorching 111.1 MPH and landed outside the stadium a whopping 467 feet away. The 27-year-old is enjoying a breakout season at the dish, with a 99th percentile .316 xBA and various other quality of contact metrics and expected stats in the top 10% of hitters. Aranda sports a blistering .330/.411/.504 triple slash through 78 appearances.

San Diego Padres outfielder Gavin Sheets went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in his team's 6-4 victory over the hosting Cincinnati Reds. He added two doubles. Sheets is up to seven two-baggers in the month and has chipped in two dingers and a triple for good measure. Despite racking up the extra-base hits, the Wake Forest product's production has dipped some in June (.258) compared to the month prior (.275). Still, he has significantly improved his quality of contact metrics this season and is right on his .266 xBA (.265). Sheets' move to San Diego has suited him well, as he's set to smash personal bests across the board while batting in the heart of the Friars' order.

Chicago Cubs outfielder Kyle Tucker went 4-for-5 with a three-run home run in Saturday's 12-3 win against the Houston Astros. He also singled twice, doubled, stole a base, and scored four times. The fantasy superstar put up an enormous box score against his former team, mashing homer No. 17, and bringing his theft total to 20. Tucker is crushing in June to the tune of a .314/.410/.581 slash line with five long balls, eight doubles, four steals, 13 RBI, and 18 runs scored. He's up to a .291 average in his first season with Chicago, and has largely been worth his selection in fantasy drafts earlier this year.
