  • 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 3 minutes ago
     
  • Steven Kwan out Sunday due to hamstring tightness
    Steven Kwan (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Angels.

    Advice: Kwan left Saturday with hamstring tightness, and it’s not surprising to see him out of the lineup for the series finale. With the 26-year-old out of action, the Guardians will have Will Brennan play in left field, which Estevan Florial will act as designated hitter and hit in Kwan’s leadoff spot. For now, he should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago

  • Getting rest day
    Rocchio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Rocchio went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's 7-1 win, but he had been turning a corner of late offensively, going 5-for-14 with five walks against three strikeouts while stealing three bases in four attempts over Cleveland's preceding five contests. Gabriel Arias will get the starting nod at shortstop Sunday, but the Guardians are still seemingly viewing Rocchio as their preferred option at the position. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Logan O’Hoppe out Sunday with hand contusion
    Logan O’Hoppe (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Guardians.

    Advice: O’Hoppe is going to miss at least one more game after he was hit with a foul ball during Saturday’s contest against Cleveland and he was forced to exit. Matt Thaiss gets the start behind the plate and will hit seventh. O’Hoppe should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • Won't start Sunday
    Kwan (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Kwan is out of the lineup for just the second time all season, with his absence coming as no surprise after he was removed from Saturday's 7-1 win left hamstring tightness. The 26-year-old is slated to undergo an MRI on Sunday, but the Guardians have yet to provide an update on the findings from those tests. Until the team offers more clarity on his status, Kwan should be viewed as day-to-day heading into Cleveland's upcoming seven-game week. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

  • Not in Sunday's lineup
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Rortvedt started four of the previous five games but will receive Sunday off after he went 3-for-12 with four strikeouts during that stretch. Alex Jackson will step in behind the plate to catch for Ryan Pepiot on Sunday. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • J.D. Martinez gets Sunday off against Rays
    J.D. Martinez is not in the lineup for Sunday’s tilt with the Rays.

    Advice: Martinez went 1-for-8 over the first two games of the series and is hitting .267 with a .624 OPS thus far in his limited action. He’ll get a day off with DJ Stewart hitting fifth as the designated hitter for the Mets on Sunday. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
     
  • Gaining traction in everyday lineup
    Calhoun will serve as the Angels' designated hitter and cleanup batter in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Calhoun will stick in the starting nine for the third straight game after going 4-for-8 with two doubles and one run to begin his tenure with the Angels. At least while Miguel Sano (knee) and Anthony Rendon (hamstring) are on the injured list, the lefty-hitting Calhoun should be in store for regular starts as the Angels' DH against right-handed pitching.

  • Stepping out of lineup
    Ramirez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: Ramirez went 3-for-8 with a run and three strikeouts while starting the first two games of the series but will take a seat for Sunday's finale. Amed Rosario will receive a turn at designated hitter while Richie Palacios starts at the keystone. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
