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

    Advice: Melendez will sit against Cleveland lefty Logan Allen on Sunday, ending a stretch of 11 straight starts during which he posted a .688 OPS. Dairon Blanco will man left field and bat ninth in the series finale. Rotowire.com Jun 30, 11:08 am
     
  • Receiving rest Sunday
    Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Lee will get the afternoon off after he started at catcher in both of the first two contests of the series. Martin Maldonado will spell Lee behind the dish in the series finale. Rotowire.com Jun 30, 10:46 am
     
  • Receiving rest day
    Grandal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: After starting behind the plate in five of the past six games, Grandal will get a breather in the series finale in Atlanta. The Pirates brought back Joey Bart (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Sunday and will put him to work right away, as he'll fill in at catcher while Grandal rests. Rotowire.com Jun 30, 7:50 am
     
  • Returning from IL, starting Sunday
    The Pirates reinstated Bart (thumb) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. He'll start at catcher and bat seventh in the Pirates' series finale in Atlanta.

    Advice: Top backstop Yasmani Grandal will take a seat Sunday while the Pirates clear the way for Bart to play in his first game for the big club since May 26. Bart missed more than a month while recovering from a left thumb sprain but proved his health during a recent six-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Indianapolis, going 6-for-17 with a double and three walks.

  • Pops eighth home run
    Lee went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Saturday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Lee added insurance runs in the eighth inning of Saturday's win by popping his eighth home run of the season. Despite going yard three times in his last 12 games, Lee is in a lengthy slump, hitting just .175 across 80 at-bats in June. Also hurting Lee's fantasy value is that he's lost at-bats at designated hitter due to a combination of his struggles and the return of Eloy Jimenez. Rotowire.com Jun 29, 11:50 pm
     
  • Getting Saturday off
    Barnhart isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game versus Oakland.

    Advice: The switch-hitting Barnhart owns just a .290 OPS against left-handed pitching this season, so he'll take a seat Saturday as the A's send southpaw Hogan Harris to the mound. Jose Herrera will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Jun 29, 11:05 am
     
  • Getting Saturday off
    Amaya isn't in the Cubs' lineup Saturday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Amaya struck out in both of his at-bats during a loss in Friday's series opener, and he'll give way to Tomas Nido for Saturday's contest. Rotowire.com Jun 29, 10:49 am
     
  • Goes deep in win
    Soderstrom went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 9-4 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Soderstrom has hit all but one of his homers this season over his last 17 games, batting .262 (16-for-61) in that span. The 22-year-old is at a .229/.321/.449 slash line with seven homers, 18 RBI, 12 runs scored and five doubles across 41 contests overall. He's seeing regular playing time at first base against right-handed pitchers. Rotowire.com Jun 28, 11:18 pm
