    • Taking seat Tuesday
      Marsh is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game at Detroit.

      Advice: Lefty Tarik Skubal is taking the mound for the Tigers, so Marsh will start Tuesday's contests on the bench. Cristian Pache will man center field and bat eighth while Whit Merrifield starts in left field. Rotowire.com Today, 3:15 pm
       
    • Sitting against righty again
      Duvall is out of the lineup for Monday's game in St. Louis.

      Advice: Duvall will hit the bench for Atlanta's second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Lance Lynn). While Michael Harris (hamstring) is on the shelf, Atlanta looks content to go with Forrest Wall, Jarred Kelenic and Ramon Laureano as its preferred outfield configuration from left to right against right-handed pitching. Duvall had taken hold of a regular role in the corner outfield after Ronald Acuna (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear May 26, but the 35-year-old has turned in an ugly .135/.189/.225 slash line since that time. Atlanta should still have a spot in the lineup for Duvall against left-handed pitching as a short-side platoon mate for the lefty-hitting Wall. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:02 pm
       
    • Adam Duvall not in the lineup on Monday
      Adam Duvall is not in the Braves’ lineup on Monday against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Duvall has now been on the bench for the last two games against right-handed pitching, so it’s possible that the Braves are moving him back into a short-side platoon. Forrest Wall is starting in left field and Ramon Laureano will get another start in right field. Laureano has now started in five straight games and seems to be held in higher regard by the Braves than Duvall at the moment. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:56 pm
       
    • Slump continues Sunday
      Duvall went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Yankees.

      Advice: Duvall has taken on a near-everyday role in the Atlanta outfield since Ronald Acuna (knee) suffered a season-ending ACL tear May 26, but the 35-year-old hasn't been able to capitalize on the opportunity. In Atlanta's ensuing 25 games without Acuna, Duvall has slashed a lowly .135/.189/.225 with a 32.6 percent strikeout rate. Manager Brian Snitker already excluded Duvall from the lineup in Saturday's 8-3 loss to the Yankees while right-hander Marcus Stroman took the hill for New York, perhaps signaling that Duvall's time as a regular in the Atlanta lineup could be nearing its end. Ramon Laureano picked up a start in the corner outfield Saturday and would likely be the main beneficiary if Snitker elects to phase Duvall out of the lineup on a more consistent basis.

    • Resting versus LHP
      Marsh isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Southpaw Tommy Henry will start on the mound for Arizona, so the lefty-hitting Marsh will take a seat on the Phillies' bench to begin Saturday's contest. Cristian Pache will fill the open spot in center field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:03 am
       
    • Idle against lefty
      Heyward is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

      Advice: Heyward will take a seat for the second consecutive night as the Angels trot out southpaw Patrick Sandoval for the series opener. Miguel Vargas, Andy Pages and Teoscar Hernandez fill the outfield from left to right. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:15 pm
       
    • Getting day off
      Marsh is absent from the starting lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Marsh has started five straight games since being activated from the IL, but he'll get a breather Friday. Instead, Cristian Pache will start in center field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:03 pm
       
    • Tallies two thefts Thursday
      Taylor went 2-for-3 with a walk and two stolen bases in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Rockies.

      Advice: It's been a brutal season for Taylor, as evidenced by the fact that this was his first multi-hit game. The utility man capitalized on reaching base three times by swiping two bags after entering Thursday with just one steal this season. Taylor is still slashing a putrid .131/.230/.192 on the campaign, but he's at least shown some signs of life of late, going 5-for-15 over his past six contests. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:34 pm

    • Sitting against lefty
      Heyward is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: Heyward will join fellow left-handed hitters Gavin Lux and Cavan Biggio on the bench for the series finale in Colorado while the Rockies bring lefty Ty Blach to the hill. With Heyward sitting, Miguel Vargas will pick up a start in left field and will bat seventh. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:41 am
