  • Sits against lefty
    Moniak is not in Saturday's lineup against the Royals.

    Advice: Per usual, Moniak will be on the bench to start the game with the Angels facing a southpaw (Cole Ragans). Kevin Pillar picks up the start in center field, batting cleanup. Rotowire.com Today, 3:20 pm
     
  • Davis Schneider homers, picks up three hits vs. MIN
    Davis Schneider went 3-for-4 with a homer, three runs scored and two RBI in a win over the Twins on Saturday.

    Advice: Schneider once again hit in the leadoff spot, and he looked comfortable doing it. The 25-year-old also stole his second base of the season, while the homer is the fourth of the season. George Springer (illness) did appear late in the game as a pinch-hitter, but considering how good Schneider has been and Springer, well, hasn’t, there’s a chance that Schneider remains at the top of the lineup for the foreseeable future.

  • Tigers recall Akil Baddoo from Triple-A Toledo
    Tigers recalled OF Akil Baddoo from Triple-A Toledo.

    Advice: The Tigers have been struggling for offense, and the 25-year-old outfielder has been raking at the Triple-A level, so this move makes sense. On the season, he’s slashing .257/.366/.478 with four homers, 16 RBI and 11 stolen bases through his first 30 games. He’s always possessed an intriguing blend of power and speed, the only thing standing in the way of potential mixed league fantasy value now is playing time. Rotoworld Today, 2:41 pm
