    • Taking seat Sunday
      Hoskins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: He'll get a breather for the day game after he started in the first two games of the series while going 0-for-8 with five strikeouts. Jake Bauers will fill in for Hoskins at first base. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
       
    • Jose Caballero scratched due to calf tightness
      Jose Caballero was scratched from Sunday’s lineup against Atlanta with calf tightness.

      Advice: Caballero was out of the lineup for the last two days with illness, but the shortstop will miss a third straight game due to the calf injury. He is reportedly available off the bench, so consider him day-to-day. Amed Rosario gets the start at shortstop in his absence, as Taylor Walls is unavailable due to illness.

    • Plays catch Sunday
      Verlander (neck) played catch Sunday and manager Joe Espada left the door open for Verlander to return to Houston's rotation this week against the White Sox, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: It sounds like Verlander is already feeling better after he was scratched from his scheduled start Saturday due to neck discomfort. If he responds well in the coming days, the three-time Cy Young winner could return for a prime matchup in Chicago, though Espada said it's still up in the air. Ronel Blanco will get the start Sunday against Detroit after Spencer Arrighetti was lit up for seven runs in place of Verlander in the second game of the series. Rotowire.com Today, 9:37 am
       
    • Scratched with tight calf
      Caballero was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta with left calf tightness, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

      Advice: Amed Rosario was a late addition to the lineup as a replacement for Caballero and will hit ninth and start at shortstop. Caballero has served as the Rays' primary shortstop for most of the season, but he had moved into more of a utility infield role of late following Taylor Walls' return from the injured list June 7.

    • Brenton Doyle (knee) out again Sunday vs. PIT
      Brenton Doyle (knee) is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Pirates.

      Advice: Doyle was scratched from the lineup Sunday against Pittsburgh while dealing with left patella tendinitis. The speedy outfielder will get at least one more day off, and Jake Cave will handle center field. Rotoworld Today, 9:32 am
       
    • Justin Verlander (neck) could return vs. White Sox
      Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters that Justin Verlander (neck) could return for the upcoming series against the White Sox.

      Advice: The Astros won’t announce their rotation for the upcoming games against Chicago just yet, largely (entirely) because the status of Verlander is up in the air. The future Hall of Famer was scratched from Saturday’s start against Detroit with discomfort in his neck, and he hasn’t been particularly effective when on the mound. He was able to play catch Sunday, so while it does sound like a trip to the injured list can be avoided. There’s just no guarantee at this point. Rotoworld Today, 9:13 am
       
    • Jose Caballero (illness) back in lineup Sunday
      Jose Caballero (illness) is back in the lineup for Sunday’s game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Caballero was removed from Friday’s game due to illness, and didn’t play Saturday. The 27-year-old is feeling well enough to go against Atlanta on Sunday, and he’ll hit ninth and play shortstop against Hurston Waldrep and the ATL pitching staff. Rotoworld Today, 8:11 am
       
    • Returns to lineup
      Caballero (illness) is in the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: After leaving Friday's game due to illness and sitting Saturday, Caballero will return to face rookie right-hander Hurston Waldrep. Taylor Walls has eaten into Caballero's time at shortstop since returning from the injured list, but Caballero is still seeing fairly regular time around the infield for Tampa Bay.

    • Corbin Carroll doubles twice in loss to White Sox
      Corbin Carroll hit two doubles while scoring twice in a loss to the White Sox on Saturday.

      Advice: Carroll was one of the few hitters who had any success against Erick Fedde and the White Sox bullpen, and he scored the only two runs in the contest for the D-Backs. It’s nice to see some extra-base hits from the 23-year-old, as he had picked up just three of them this month prior to Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:08 pm
