  • Moves into reserve role
    Siani is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Dating back to April 20, Siani had started in all but one of the Cardinals' last 13 games, but his run as an everyday player has likely come to an end with Dylan Carlson (shoulder) returning from the 10-day injured list Sunday. Carlson will start in center field in his first game back from the shelf and should immediately settle into a full-time role. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • On bench for second straight game
    Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Dubon is on the bench for a second straight game and seems to have moved into a part-time role after he had drawn starts in the outfield in each of the first three games of May. The Astros have a regular opening in left field with Chas McCormick (hamstring) moving to the injured list, but rookie Joey Loperfido looks to have an edge on the gig, leaving Dubon to vie with Jake Meyers and Trey Cabbage for playing time at the other outfield spot while Kyle Tucker is locked in as the everyday right fielder.

  • Receiving breather Sunday
    O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: O'Neill started the previous eight games and will receive a day off after he posted a .924 OPS and 36.1 percent strikeout rate during that span. Rob Refsnyder will man left field against Minnesota righty Joe Ryan. Rotowire.com Today, 10:13 am

  • Taking seat against lefty
    Kiermaier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: He'll join fellow left-handed-hitting regular Cavan Biggio on the bench as the Blue Jays replace the two with a pair of right-handed hitters (Davis Schneider and Ernie Clement, respectively) to counter Nationals southpaw MacKenzie Gore. Kiermaier returned from the 10-day injured list Saturday and popped a two-run home run in the Blue Jays' 6-3 win. Rotowire.com Today, 10:10 am
     
  • Fills in for injured starter
    Jankowski entered Saturday's game for an injured Wyatt Langford (hamstring) and went 1-for-2 with a stolen base, two RBI and two runs scored in a 15-4 win over Kansas City.

    Advice: Langford was scheduled for an MRI on Sunday, which will inform his expected absence. Jankowski, who has just 31 plate appearances in this season, could be in line for more starts; however, the Rangers can get by with Evan Carter, Leody Taveras and Adolis Garcia in the outfield on most nights.

  • Clubs homer in win
    Laureano went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-1 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Laureano snapped an 0-for-12 slump that dated back to April 21 when he went yard in the fourth inning Saturday. The outfielder is slashing a meager .161/.304/.268 with a homer, four RBI, six runs scored, three stolen bases and three doubles over 69 plate appearances this season. That slump has taken Laureano out of contention to play versus right-handed pitchers, with Will Brennan and Estevan Florial mostly sharing right field and designated hitter. Laureano will still get looks against southpaws, but he shouldn't be expected to fill more than a short-side platoon role any time soon. Rotowire.com Today, 9:53 am
     
  • Scratched with illness
    Perez was scratched from the lineup Sunday against the Yankees due to an illness, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Perez was penciled in for his seventh consecutive start but will instead hit the bench due to an illness. He should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Cleveland. Rotowire.com Today, 9:02 am

  • Wenceel Pérez scratched due to illness
    Wenceel Pérez has been scratched from the starting lineup Sunday due to illness.

    Advice: Pérez was scheduled to play Sunday against the Yankees, but he’ll instead retreat to the bench. Colt Keith is reinserted into the starting lineup and will play second base against New York. Pérez should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 8:58 am

  • Back in bench role
    Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Taylor is back on the bench for the third time in four games after he recently wrapped up a stretch of five consecutive starts in the Mets outfield. All of Brandon Nimmo, Starling Marte and Harrison Bader are healthy and available, so Taylor will remain limited to a fourth-outfielder role for the foreseeable future. Rotowire.com Today, 8:53 am
