  • Getting day off against lefty
    Benintendi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Benintendi and fellow left-handed hitters Gavin Sheets and Nicky Lopez will hit the bench as the White Sox go with an all-right-handed-hitting lineup versus Dodgers southpaw James Paxton. Corey Julks will replace Benintendi in left field and will bat seventh. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:32 pm
     
  • Powers offense in win
    Buxton went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: Buxton has an extra-base hit in each of his last three games. This was his first multi-hit effort since June 13. He's hitting .246 (16-for-65) over 18 games in June, right in line with his .245 batting average for the season. Buxton has added a .702 OPS, five homers, 25 RBI, 26 runs scored, five stolen bases, 11 doubles and three triples across 58 contests. He's been given ample rest since returning from a knee injury in May, but he remains the primary center fielder for the Twins. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:07 pm
     
  • Byron Buxton goes deep to lead Twins on Sunday
    Byron Buxton homered, doubled and drove in a pair of runs on Sunday afternoon, leading the Twins to a 3-0 victory over the Athletics in Oakland.

    Advice: Buxton opened the scoring in the ballgame with a monstrous 432-foot (112.7 mph EV) solo shot on the first pitch that he saw from Hogan Harris in the second inning. He then laced a run-scoring double into center field in the seventh inning that extended the Twins’ lead to 2-0. The 30-year-old outfielder finished the day 2-for-3 and is now hitting .245/.294/.408 with five homers and 25 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:30 pm
     
  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Jeffers isn't in the Twins' lineup for Sunday's game against Oakland.

    Advice: Jeffers has alternated starts behind the plate with Christian Vazquez for most of June, and Sunday will simply mark Vazquez's turn to serve as Minnesota's catcher while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:18 am
     
  • Jurickson Profar back in lineup Sunday vs. Brewers
    Jurickson Profar (knee) is back in the lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Brewers.

    Advice: Profar is back in left field and batting second on Sunday afternoon following a brief one-game absence due to left knee patellar tendinitis that flared up during Friday’s contest. The 31-year-old corner outfielder should be able to manage and play through the issue moving forward. He’s been an unexpected revelation this season for San Diego and is making a serious bid for a spot on the senior circuit’s All-Star Game roster. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:56 am
     
  • In Sunday's lineup
    Profar (knee) will start in left field and bat second Sunday versus the Brewers.

    Advice: Profar guaranteed he would return to the starting nine Sunday after missing Saturday's 6-4 win, and he has come through on his promise. The 31-year-old has tallied at least one base hit in each of his last six games, going 7-for-24 with three RBI and three runs scored in that span. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:54 am
     
  • Goes yard again in loss
    Abrams went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's loss to the Rockies.

    Advice: Abrams doubled in his second at-bat before coming around to score Washington's first run of the contest on a Lane Thomas single. The shortstop would then add a leadoff homer in the fifth to cut Colorado's lead down to one run, giving him 12 long balls on the season. Abrams has now logged multiple hits in three consecutive games and is batting .361 in June with three homers, 13 RBI and 12 runs scored. He's also struck out just twice over his last eight games while drawing four walks. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:33 am
     
  • Picks up one-out save
    Suarez picked up a one-out save in a win over the Brewers on Saturday night while not allowing any hits or walks.

    Advice: Suarez likely wasn't expecting to make an appearance with the Padres up 6-0 to open the ninth, but things changed quickly when Brice Turang launched a grand slam off Jhony Brito to bring Milwaukee back within two runs with two outs in the frame. However, Suarez was able to put out the fire, retiring William Contreras on a groundout to end the game and secure his 19th save of the season. Suarez has not allowed any hits or walks over his last two appearances after suffering his only blown save of the year against the Phillies on June 18. In fact, he's issued only one walk over his last nine outings. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:25 am
     
  • Back in startling lineup
    Marte started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Saturday's 12-1 loss to Philadelphia.

    Advice: Marte hadn't played the field since Wednesday; he served as the designated hitter Thursday then was held out of the starting lineup Friday. All appears to be fine for Marte, who was merely given a two-game respite from playing the field. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:13 am
