    • Not starting Sunday
      Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

      Advice: Buxton went 1-for-4 with a run and an RBI in his return from right knee inflammation Saturday, and he'll sit for the series finale in Cleveland. Willi Castro will man center field Sunday for the Twins. Rotowire.com Today, 8:19 am
       
    • Byron Buxton not starting Sunday vs. Guardians
      Byron Buxton is not in the starting lineup versus the Guardians on Sunday.

      Advice: Buxton was activated off the 10-day injured list Saturday, but the outfielder won’t be in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against Cleveland. Willi Castro is the starting centerfielder while Jose Miranda gets the start at third base. Rotoworld Today, 8:05 am
       
    • Notches RBI in return
      Buxton went 1-for-4 with a run and an RBI in Saturday's loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: Buxton was activated from the injured list Saturday after missing over two weeks due to right knee inflammation. The outfielder helped Minnesota avoid being shut out, plating the team's first run in the ninth inning with a single to right field. Buxton is slashing .250/.298/.385 with a home run, 12 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base through 104 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:19 pm
       
    • Day off Saturday
      Lowe isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game versus Toronto, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Lowe has struck out six times in his last two games, so the Rays will sit him down Saturday and give him a chance to clear his head. In his absence, Jonny DeLuca will start in right field while batting fifth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:44 am
       
    • Twins activate Byron Buxton for Saturday return
      Twins activated OF Byron Buxton from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Buxton returns to Minnesota’s lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the division-rival Guardians following a two-week absence due to right knee inflammation. The 30-year-old center fielder has managed to avoid serious injury so far, but has gotten off to an icy start at the plate, batting .250/.300/.391 with one homer and one steal in 100 plate appearances over 28 contests.

    • Reinstated from IL
      The Twins reinstated Buxton (knee) from the injured list Saturday.

      Advice: Buxton went 0-for-6 with an RBI during his two-game rehab assignment, but he has seemingly fully recovered from his right knee inflammation and will return as Minnesota's everyday center fielder. The 30-year-old was slashing .343/.410/.543 with four RBI and eight runs scored across his last 10 games before getting injured. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:19 am
       
    • Doubles, swipes bag in return
      Rengifo went 1-for-4 with a double, a steal, a run scored and a walk in Friday's win over Texas.

      Advice: Rengifo hit second in his first game since May 6 after a brief stint on the injured list. He ripped a double in the first inning before drawing a walk, stealing second base and scoring a run in the third. The utility player was on a 19-for-46 (.413) tear over his last 15 games before landing on the IL. Rengifo is slashing .326/.379/.463 with nine extra-base hits and 10 steals through 29 games.

    • Byron Buxton (knee) nearing activation from IL
      Byron Buxton (knee) has joined the Twins in Cleveland and could be activated from the injured list as early as Saturday.

      Advice: The dynamic 30-year-old outfielder played in a pair of rehab games at Triple-A St. Paul without incident and as long as he’s feeling alright on Saturday it sounds like he’ll be cleared to return. Buxton has hit .250/.300/.391 with just one home run, 11 RBI and one stolen base in 100 plate appearances with the Twins so far this season. Rotoworld Friday, 3:10 pm
       
    • Carroll returns to the lineup on Friday
      Corbin Carroll is back in the Diamondbacks lineup, batting second against the Tigers on Friday.

      Advice: Carroll came off the bench and pinch ran and scored a run on Wednesday. Fantasy managers have to be frustrated with Carroll’s production so far this season as he’s hitting just .193 with a .539 OPS. Only seven qualified hitters have a lower batting average entering play Friday. It’s not what you want from a first round pick. Rotoworld Friday, 12:25 pm
