• 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
  • Cubs release catcher Yan Gomes
    Cubs released C Yan Gomes.

    Advice: Gomes went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will head to free agency in search of a new opportunity. The 36-year-old veteran backstop should be able to latch on somewhere as a backup catching option for the remainder of the year. Rotoworld Sunday, 11:05 am

  • William Contreras gets day off Sunday vs. Padres
    William Contreras is not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Pirates.

The 26-year-old has put together a phenomenal season so far, batting .293/.354/.443 with nine homers and five steals across 339 plate appearances over 75 contests. It’ll be Gary Sánchez behind the plate in his absence. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:47 am

  • Getting Sunday off
    Rortvedt is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Even with the Pirates sending right-hander Paul Skenes to the mound Sunday, the lefty-hitting Rortvedt will begin the game in the dugout after starting in the first two games of the series, going 4-for-8 with one home run, four RBI and two runs scored. Alex Jackson will start at catcher and bat ninth for the series finale. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:11 am
  • Keeps rolling Saturday
    Soderstrom went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Twins on Saturday.

    Advice: Soderstrom squared up on a Bailey Ober offering in the second and sent it 419 feet to center for the Athletics' second and final run of the afternoon. The rookie has slugged five of his first six big-league homers in the last 12 games, a stretch where he's boasting a stellar 1.117 OPS and has averaged exactly one RBI per contest.
