    • Absent from lineup again
      Velazquez is out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Brewers.

      Advice: It's the second straight day on the bench for Velazquez, who is in a 2-for-32 tailspin at the plate. He served as a pinch-hitter in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers and will be available off the bench Monday. Adam Frazier will serve as the Royals' designated hitter, and Kansas City could continue to rotate a number of players at that spot in the lineup while Velazquez has seemingly lost hold of an everyday role.

    • Remains on bench Monday
      Soler (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Philadelphia, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Soler will be on the bench for a second straight game while he tends to a shoulder injury. With Soler out of the lineup, LaMonte Wade will get a day off at first base and will serve as the Giants' designated hitter. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:02 am

    • Jorge Soler (shoulder) remains out on Monday
      Jorge Soler (shoulder) is not in the Giants lineup on Monday against the Phillies.

      Advice: It’s the second straight missed game for Soler, who is battling shoulder discomfort. It doesn’t seem like a major concern, but it is certainly something to think about for fantasy managers in weekly lineup lock leagues. Lamonte Wade Jr. will DH for the Giants on Monday with Wilmer Flores getting the start at first base against a right-handed pitcher. Tyler Fitzgerald is also playing shortstop as Nick Ahmed gets a regular day off. Rotoworld Monday, 10:01 am

    • Dealing with shoulder issue
      Soler was out of the lineup Sunday versus the Phillies due to a shoulder issue, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Soler is considered day-to-day, which suggests the injury isn't too severe. Wilmer Flores got the start at designated hitter Sunday and could continue to play there if Soler isn't available for Monday's series finale in Philadelphia. Rotowire.com May 5, 9:22 pm

    • Stepping out of lineup
      Soler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Soler started the past 11 games but will sit Sunday after going 5-for-38 during that stretch. Wilmer Flores will bat third as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com May 5, 1:36 pm

    • On bench Sunday
      Velazquez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Rangers.

      Advice: Velazquez went 1-for-4 with a double and a run Saturday but still has just two hits over his past 11 games. Salvador Perez is resting his legs at designated hitter Sunday while Freddy Fermin starts behind the plate. Rotowire.com May 5, 9:59 am
       
    • Nelson Velazquez out of action Sunday vs. Rangers
      Nelson Velazquez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Rangers.

      Advice: Velazquez has not found much success in 2024 with an OPS of just .635 over 92 at-bats, and he’ll retreat to the bench against right-hander Jon Grey on Sunday. Salvador Perez will lineup at designated hitter while hitting in his usual fourth spot in the lineup while Freddy Fermin gets the start behind the plate. Rotoworld May 5, 8:08 am
       
    • Getting second opinion
      Manager Alex Cora said Friday that Yoshida will get a second opinion on his strained left thumb, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

      Advice: Cora previously said Thursday that Yoshida may need to undergo surgery on his thumb after straining it during Sunday's win over the Cubs, but the 30-year-old will wait to hear from another doctor before determining the best course of action. Yoshida has slashed .275/.348/.388 with 11 RBI across 89 plate appearances this season, and an update on his status should be available within the next several days.

    • Sitting again
      Velazquez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

      Advice: Velazquez has been less and less of an everyday option for the Royals as the team continues to trot out lineups with Salvador Perez as first base, Vinnie Pasquantino at DH and Freddy Fermin behind the dish. Velazquez hasn't done much to warrant an everyday role after starting the season red hot, managing just one hit in his last 27 at-bats. Rotowire.com May 3, 12:40 pm
