  • Adley Rutschman homers in loss to Arizona
    Adley Rutschman went 1-for-4 with a home run in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Rutschman took a Zac Gallen offering and hit it 363 feet at 105.5 mph for his sixth home run of the season. The 26-year-old continues to be a solid performer at the top of the Orioles’ lineup and one of the best catchers in fantasy baseball. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:03 pm
     
  • Dealing with illness
    Bailey was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Reds due to a viral illness, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Bailey was a late removal from the team's lineup ahead of their series finale with Cincinnati, which is now understood to have been the result of an illness. If the catcher is forced to miss any further time, Blake Sabol will likely operate as the team's exclusive catcher. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:42 pm
     
  • David Fry hits two-run homer, reaches three times
    David Fry hit a two-run homer and walked twice Sunday against the White Sox.

    Advice: The Guardians barely played Fry against righties during the season’s first five weeks, but this is the third time in the last four such games that he’s been included in the lineup and his homer today came off a righty in Mike Soroka. He should be a top-15 fantasy catcher if the Guardians keep using him like this. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:12 pm

  • Scratched from lineup Sunday
    Bailey has been scratched from the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Bailey was set to start at DH and bat in the cleanup spot, but he has since been removed from the lineup. Wilmer Flores will take over as the designated hitter Sunday and will bat fourth against Reds right-hander Frankie Montas. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:21 pm
     
  • Sitting Sunday
    D'Arnaud is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Mets.

    Advice: D'Arnaud will get a breather Sunday after starting in each of the last four games. He's gone 4-for-18 in May but has registered a hit in each of his last three contests. Chadwick Tromp will start behind the plate and bat ninth against Mets right-hander Luis Severino. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:09 pm
     
  • Travis d’Arnaud sitting Sunday against Mets
    Travis d’Arnaud is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Mets.

    Advice: Instead, Atlanta will start Chadwick Tromp behind the plate while d’Arnaud rests. The 35-year-old backstop was excellent to begin 2024, but he’s struggled thus far in May with a .611 OPS over 18 at-bats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:41 pm
     
  • Cal Raleigh gets Sunday off against Athletics
    Cal Raleigh is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Athletics.

    Advice: The man they call Big Dumper will get a day of rest for Sunday’s series finale against the Athletics. Seby Zavala will get the start behind the plate. The Mariners are going with their right-heavy lineup against southpaw Alex Wood, so Luis Urias is in for Josh Rojas, and Sam Haggerty is in for Luke Raley. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:53 am
     
  • Sitting for series finale
    Soderstrom is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Mariners.

    Advice: Since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday, Soderstrom has gone 4-for-12 with one home run and two RBI. He'll be available off the bench for Sunday's series finale while Tyler Nevin gets the start at first base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:50 am
     
  • Getting Sunday off
    Raleigh is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: After catching each of the past four days, Raleigh will get a breather for the series finale. Seby Zavala will get the starting nod behind the dish Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:39 am
