  • Rays designate Niko Goodrum for assignment
    Rays designated INF Niko Goodrum for assignment.

    Advice: Goodrum is now off the 40-man roster. The infielder went just 4-for-37 before being optioned down to Triple-A by the Rays on Friday. The 32-year-old could see interest on the waiver wire, and if he goes unclaimed, he will have the option to elect free agency if he so chooses. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago

  • Pete Alonso gets first day off Monday vs. STL
    Pete Alonso is not in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Alonso will sit for the first time this year against right-hander Kyle Gibson and St. Louis. With the Polar Bear out of action, the Mets will start DJ Stewart and he’ll hit fourth. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago
  • Absent from lineup
    Bader is not in the lineup for Monday's game in St. Louis.

    Advice: He'll begin this one on the bench while Brandon Nimmo slides over to center field, Jeff McNeil plays left and Joey Wendle handles second base. Bader is batting .278 this season but has managed just three extra-base hits. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
  • Getting first day off
    Alonso is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest in St. Louis.

    Advice: It's the first day off this season for Alonso, who is in a 1-for-28 drought at the plate to drop his season batting line down to just .206/.295/.420. He should be back in there Tuesday. On Monday, it will be DJ Stewart getting his first major-league start at first base. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
  • Angel Chvilli sent back to Double-A Harftord
    Rockies optioned RHP Angel Chivilli to Double-A Hartford.

    Advice: Chivilli was up for three days while Justin Lawrence was away on paternity leave. With Lawrence active, Chivilli will report back to the Yard Goats. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago
  • Justin Lawrence activated off paternity list
    Rockies activated RHP Justin Lawrence off the paternity list.

    Advice: Lawrence was away from the team for three days. He’ll likely return to the closing role with Angel Chivilli heading back to Double-A Hartford with Lawrence back. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago
  • Retreating to bench Monday
    Miranda is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Miranda should be an indirect beneficiary from a playing-time standpoint while Byron Buxton (knee) is on the 10-day injured list, as Miranda had started at third base in each of the previous three games while Willi Castro moved to the outfield to help cover for Buxton's absence. However, Castro will draw the start at the hot corner Monday, opening up center field for Manuel Margot. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
  • Taking seat Monday
    Machado is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: It's a rare day off for Machado, who had started nine straight after returning from paternity leave. Donovan Solano will handle third base Monday in his first start with the Padres. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
  • Cubs activate Steele (hamstring) for start Monday
    Cubs activated Justin Steele off the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Steele is off the IL and will be the starter for the Cubs on Monday against the Royals. The left-hander made one rehab start while recovering from his hamstring trouble, but he should be stretched out enough to provide fantasy value in the coming weeks. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
