  • Retreating to bench Sunday
    Moniak is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: After starting in each of the past four games, the lefty-hitting Moniak will hit the bench while the Giants open the game with a left-hander (Erik Miller). Kevin Pillar -- who had made four straight starts in left field -- will slide over to center field in Moniak's stead. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Not getting regular work at 2B
    Guillorme is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: Guillorme is on the bench for the third time in four games. Though Kyren Paris' recent demotion to the minors has opened up playing time at the keystone while Brandon Drury (hamstring) remains on the injured list, Guillorme looks like he'll remain in a utility role while Michael Stefanic serves as the top option at second base.

  • Sitting in fourth straight
    Calhoun is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: Calhoun has been displaced as the Angels' designated hitter in four straight games while Taylor Ward has handled those duties since returning from a one-game absence due to a back injury. It's unclear if Calhoun will recapture a regular role when or if Ward moves back to his previous spot in left field. Dating back to May 22, Calhoun has produced a modest .564 OPS, which may have put him at risk of losing his job even if Ward's back injury hadn't cropped up. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Hitting bench Sunday
    Montero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Montero will get a break for the series finale after he had started in each of the Rockies' last four games while going 2-for-13 with a double, two walks, two runs and one RBI. Though he's maintaining a lowly .554 OPS for the season, Montero could hold down a near-everyday role until the banged-up Rockies get some of their hitters back from the injured list.

  • Stepping in as No. 1 catcher
    Stallings will start at catcher and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Stallings will pick up his fourth start in five games and should continue serving as the Rockies' primary option behind the plate until Elias Diaz (calf) returns from the 10-day injured list. A former Gold Glove winner who's valued mainly for his defensive contributions, Stallings has been a surprising performer with the bat during his first season in Colorado, slashing .296/.375/.449 over 113 plate appearances thus far.

  • Remains out of lineup
    Doyle (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Doyle will take a seat for the second day in a row while he manages left patella tendinitis. Jake Cave will step in as the Rockies' starting center field in place of Doyle, who can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the team's four-game home set with the Dodgers that begins Monday.

  • Michael Grove (lat) heading to injured list
    Dodgers placed RHP Michael Grove on the 15-day injured list with a right lat strain.

    Advice: Grove joins Yoshinobu Yamamoto (triceps) on the injured list prior to Sunday’s finale against the Royals. Grove will be out at least two weeks, but a more firm timetable should be provided in the coming days. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Riding pine Sunday
    Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Hayes will get some rest for the series finale in Colorado after he had started in each of the Pirates' last five games while going 3-for-21 with a stolen base and a run scored. Jared Triolo will fill in for Hayes at the hot corner. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Getting fourth straight start
    Triolo will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Triolo will pick up his fourth straight start, but two came while shortstop Oneil Cruz was sitting out due to a sore ankle. Cruz is back in the lineup Sunday, but Triolo will get the nod at third base in place of a resting Ke'Bryan Hayes. Expect Triolo to return to a utility role when the Pirates open their series against the Reds on Monday. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
