  • Joey Gallo on track to return this weekend
    Joey Gallo (shoulder) is slated to play two more rehab games with Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday and Wednesday.

    Advice: He’ll then likely rejoin the Nationals this weekend. Gallo has hit .154/.353/.539 in eight minor league games. He’s 4-for-26 with three homers and a double. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago

  • One of three sick Toronto players
    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Turner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles due to an illness, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Turner's absence from the lineup for Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins was believed to be for maintenance purposes while he was in the midst of a 1-for-22 slump at the plate over his previous five starts, but he's apparently a victim of the bug that seems to be making its way around the Toronto clubhouse. He'll be on the bench for a second straight day Monday, while George Springer and Kevin Kiermaier are out of the lineup for the third and fourth time, respectively, in the four games due to illnesses of their own.

  • Justin Turner out due to illness
    Justin Turner is on the bench Monday because of an illness.

    Advice: This also probably explains why he didn’t play Sunday, though there was nothing disclosed then. Turner is currently in a 3-for-34 slump that has dropped his OPS from .924 to .733. Daniel Vogelbach is DHing for the Jays tonight. Rotoworld Today, 2:01 pm

  • Sitting out series opener
    Paredes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Paredes was hit in the helmet by a pitch in the seventh inning of Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Yankees, but he stayed in the game after being checked out. His absence from the lineup a day later may create some level of concern about his health, but Paredes could just be receiving a maintenance day after he had started in each of the Rays' last nine games. Amed Rosario will replace Paredes at the hot corner Monday, and for now, the expectation is that Paredes will be back in the lineup Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:48 pm

  • Gio Urshela (hamstring) likely to return Tuesday
    Gio Urshela will likely rejoin the Tigers prior to Tuesday’s game.

    Advice: Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press anticipates that Akil Baddoo will be sent down to make room. Urshela, out since April 19 with a strained hamstring, is 5-for-8 over three games on a rehab assignment. He’ll likely see quite a bit of time at third base, with Matt Vierling getting more action in the outfield. Rotoworld Today, 1:33 pm

  • Sitting in second straight game
    Turner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: After going 1-for-22 over his last five starts to bring his season average down to .250, Turner will end up getting two days off to take a mental reset. Daniel Vogelbach will make a second straight start as the Blue Jays' designated hitter while Turner rests. Rotowire.com Today, 1:32 pm

  • Pavin Smith in lineup for first time in five games
    Pavin Smith is making his first start since Wednesday in Monday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: The Diamondbacks picked Jake McCarthy over Smith the last two times they faced righties, and neither of the two plays against lefties. Most likely, either Smith or McCarthy is going to be sent down when Alek Thomas returns, though Thomas’s setback last week means that’s probably not imminent. Smith is hitting .207/,258/.379 in 31 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 1:29 pm
     
  • Exits starting nine
    Cooper is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Cooper enjoyed a productive weekend in the Red Sox's series victory over the Nationals, starting in two of the three contests while producing three hits (two doubles, one single), one run and one RBI over six at-bats. He'll cede first base to Dominic Smith on Monday, but Cooper still looks to be locked into a near-everyday role for the Red Sox until Triston Casas (rib) returns from the injured list.

  • Runs bases Sunday
    LeMahieu (foot) ran the bases Sunday and will take live batting practice again Tuesday, Mark Didtler of the Associated Press reports.

    Advice: Running the bases is a significant step in LeMahieu's recovery from a non-displaced fracture of his right foot. The veteran infielder has also been taking batting practice and fielding ground balls, and he could restart a minor-league rehab assignment soon. LeMahieu had begun a rehab stint April 23 but had to be pulled after just one inning due to experiencing soreness in the injured foot. Rotowire.com Today, 11:27 am
