    • Gets day off
      Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Ruiz will receive some routine maintenance for the day game after he started in each of the Nationals' last eight contests. Riley Adams will fill in for Ruiz behind the dish. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
       
    • Sitting against southpaw
      Verdugo is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Rays.

      Advice: With southpaw Tyler Alexander taking the hill for the Rays on Sunday, the righty-hitting Jahmai Jones will start in left field and bat ninth. Verdugo is hitless over his last four games and is 0-for-8 with three strikeouts in his last two outings. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
       
    • Matt Manning confirmed for start Monday for Tigers
      Matt Manning will start for the Tigers on Monday against the Marlins.

      Advice: Manning is going to get the start to take the place of Kenta Maeda after Maeda was placed on the 15-day injured list with a viral illness. Manning will get to face one of the weaker lineups in baseball, and he’s worth consideration as a streamer for that start. He hasn’t shown enough consistency to be a recommended option against better lineups at this stage, however. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
       
    • Notches first big-league steal
      Pages went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 win against the Padres.

      Advice: Pages withstood a Padres review challenge to pick up his first theft as a major-leaguer following an eighth-inning single. The 23-year-old hasn't been a big base-stealer as a pro, topping out at seven thefts in the minors, though he does have 83rd percentile sprint speed, per Statcast. Pages continues to see everyday playing time for the Dodgers, but he's tailed off a bit of late with a .158/.261/.158 slash line and 34.8 percent strikeout rate over his past six games.

    • Gets rest for series finale
      Jansen is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Twins.

      Advice: Jansen will sit for the series finale Sunday while Alejandro Kirk starts behind the dish and bats eighth against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober. Since May 1, Jansen has gone 10-for-28 with four doubles, two home runs and four RBI. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
       
    • Sitting in second straight game
      Mullins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Mullins is on the bench for the second straight game against a right-handed starting pitcher, with Colton Cowser once again sliding over from left field to cover center field in Mullins' stead. The Orioles haven't indicated that Mullins is dealing with an injury or illness, so the back-to-back days out of the lineup likely indicate that he's at risk of moving into a part-time role, if he hasn't already. Mullins is off to a rough start to the season, having posted a career-low .611 OPS and career-worst 25.2 percent strikeout rate across 131 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
       
    • Not starting Sunday
      Mateo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Mateo will hit the bench after he had started at second base in each of the last three games while going 3-for-11 with an RBI and three runs scored. Jordan Westburg will shift over from third base to cover the keystone in place of Mateo. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago

    • Homers in second straight
      Adell went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Saturday's win over the Royals.

      Advice: Adell jumped on a hanging slider with two men on in the second and launched it 419 feet for his seventh home run of the season and the third in his last four games. The outfielder has also hit safely in five consecutive contests, racking up six RBI over that stretch to go along with five runs scored. Despite those impressive numbers, Adell is still batting just .176 in May and has recorded multiple hits in only one game this month. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
       
    • Sent back to Triple-A
      The Cubs optioned Cuas to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

      Advice: Cuas' stay with the big club lasted just one day, with the Cubs sending him back to Triple-A to clear room on the 26-man active roster for right-hander Kyle Hendricks (back), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Sunday in Pittsburgh. The 29-year-old righty covered two scoreless innings out of the bullpen in Saturday's 10-9 loss to the Pirates, striking out two while giving up one hit and one walk. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
