  • Idle against lefty
    McKinstry is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: McKinstry will avoid a matchup with Ranger Suarez on Tuesday, yielding to Ryan Kreidler at shortstop. McKinstry had started in each of the Tigers' last two games, going 4-for-7 with a solo homer and two doubles. Rotowire.com Today, 11:53 am

  • Homers in win
    Hamilton started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 7-6 win over Toronto.

    Advice: Hamilton belted his fifth home run of the season, a two-run shot in the bottom of the eighth inning that narrowed the Red Sox's deficit to 6-4. It continued a renaissance that began mid-May -- Hamilton has an .869 OPS with 17 steals, eight doubles, one triple, four home runs and 13 RBI over the last 36 games. The offensive production has led to Hamilton being a lineup regular, typically at shortstop but sometimes at second base, with the latter an unsettled position at this stage.

  • Orlando Arcia (dizziness) likely to rest Tuesday

  • Likely sitting Tuesday
    Manager Brian Snitker stated that the team will probably give Arcia (head) Tuesday off, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: Arcia received fluids after leaving Monday's game due to dizziness and didn't appear to be feeling well in the clubhouse afterward, per Toscano. "Just probably dehydrated, I guess," said Snitker. "I don't know. I know they gave him fluids, so we'll probably put him down tomorrow and let him regroup and see where he's at." Zack Short would be the obvious choice for a start at shortstop Tuesday in Arcia's place. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:35 pm

  • Remains on track to return Tuesday
    Bichette (calf) went through a full workout Monday and remains on track for activation from the 10-day injured list when first eligible Tuesday, Kaitlyn McGrath of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Bichette's placement on the IL earlier this month with a right calf strain seemed to be precautionary more than anything else and he's slated for a minimum absence. He will resume everyday shortstop duties upon activation, pushing Isiah Kiner-Falefa back to third base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:31 pm
     
  • Bo Bichette (calf) still on track for Tuesday
    The Blue Jays are still expecting to activate Bo Bichette on Tuesday after another on-field workout Monday.

    Advice: Bichette is on the IL with a strained right calf. The Blue Jays figure to send down Addison Barger or Steward Berroa to make room for him. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:26 pm
     
  • Maikel Garcia leads off, shifts to second base
    Maikel Garcia is back in the leadoff spot and playing second base for the Royals on Monday.

    Advice: It’s the first time Garcia has played anywhere other third this year, but the Royals just called up a third baseman in CJ Alexander and have Michael Massey apparently limited to DH at the moment. As a result, Garcia will get to show his versatility. The return to the leadoff spot is also good news; he had led off throughout the season before being dropped to seventh on Saturday and eighth on Sunday. Considering that he has a .291 OBP, there’s no blaming the Royals for making the switch. Still, he remains a better bet than the alternative options to bat ahead of Bobby Witt Jr. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:07 pm
