  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Moreno is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Moreno started the first two games of the series and will sit Sunday afternoon after going 2-for-7 with an RBI. Tucker Barnhart will step in behind the plate and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Not starting Sunday
    Gurriel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Gurriel started the previous eight games but will head to the bench Sunday after he went 2-for-33 during that span. Jake McCarthy will receive a start in left field while Pavin Smith starts in right. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Exiting starting nine Sunday
    Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Following a stint on the 10-day injured list due to an adductor strain, Davis was activated Friday and had started at first base in both of his first two games back in action, going 2-for-7 with a run scored between those contests. The Athletics haven't indicated that Davis suffered a setback in his recovery from the injury, so his absence Sunday is presumably a pre-planned maintenance day. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Getting maintenance day
    Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Langeliers was probably overdue for a day off, as he had started at catcher or served as a designated hitter in each of Oakland's last five games. Kyle McCann will get a turn behind the plate in Sunday's series finale. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Starts up hitting program
    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Sunday that Yelich (back) has resumed swinging the bat in addition to running and throwing, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: The 32-year-old seemingly had a breakthrough in his recovery from a low back strain this weekend, when he had his best session in the batting cage since landing on the shelf, according to MLB.com. Yelich said that he's targeting a return to action before the Brewers' road trip wraps up Wednesday in Kansas City, but don't be surprised if the team takes a more conservative approach and gives him more time to heal up from the back injury before activating him from the 10-day injured list.

  • Facing 2-to-3-week absence
    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Sunday that Wiemer (knee) is expected to be sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Milwaukee placed Wiemer on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained popliteus muscle in his left knee, an injury he suffered in Friday's win over the Cubs. While Wiemer will be sidelined for beyond the minimum 10 days, he won't require surgery and will be able to treat the injury with rest and rehab. Once he completes his rehab assignment and is activated from the IL, Wiemer could be optioned to Triple-A Nashville, depending on the overall health of the Milwaukee outfield.

  • Emerging as primary DH
    Wisdom will serve as the Cubs' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Wisdom is starting at DH for the third time in four games, and he looks like the role will be his for the taking for the time being after the Cubs optioned Matt Mervis to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday. He should have an opportunity to see steady playing time until the Cubs get at least one of Seiya Suzuki (oblique) or Cody Bellinger (ribs) back from the injured list. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago

  • Jeimer Candelario (shin) scratched from lineup
    Jeimer Candelario has been scratched from the lineup Sunday with a bruised left shin.

    Advice: Candelario fouled a ball off his shin Saturday, and the Reds will give the 30-year-old a day of rest as a precaution. Santiago Espinal is now starting in Candelario’s absence. He should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago

  • Scratched with shin contusion
    Candelario was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Orioles due to a left shin contusion, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Candelario was penciled in at third base but won't start as scheduled due to the injury. He'll have Monday's team off day to rest up before Tuesday's series opener versus Arizona. Santiago Espinal will step in at the hot corner Sunday. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
