    • Sitting with hamstring issue
      Chapman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers due to a hamstring cramp, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

      Advice: The 31-year-old felt the cramp during Saturday's contest and will receive Sunday off. Casey Schmitt will take over at third base for the Giants, while Chapman should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener versus the Astros. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago
       
    • Matt Chapman out Sunday due to hamstring cramp
      Matt Chapman is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rangers to a hamstring cramp.

      Advice: Giants manager Bob Melvin told reporters before Sunday’s game that the infielder felt his hamstring cramp on a diving attempt in the ninth inning. Melvin also believed that this is a short-term issue that won’t cause the third baseman to miss more than a game. Brett Wisely is getting the start at third in Chapman’s absence.

    • Matt Chapman not in lineup Sunday vs. Rangers
      Matt Chapman is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s contest against the Rangers.

      Advice: Chapman picked up a hit in each of the first two games of the series against Texas, but will get a rare day of rest for the series finale. Brett Wisely is starting at third base and hitting seventh while Chapman is out. Rotoworld Today, 7:35 am
       
    • Receives second opinion
      Cincinnati manager David Bell said Saturday that Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) visited a specialist, who advised another five days of additional rest, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Encarnacion-Strand had met with team doctors June 5 and was given the green light to take the next step in his rehab progression, but the injured first baseman opted for a second opinion. Bell is hopeful Encarnacion-Strand can resume his progression following the current rest period and begin swinging a bat "in the next couple of weeks." This development pushes out a potential return another two weeks. Rotowire.com Today, 5:59 am
       
    • Earns fifth win
      Abbott (5-5) earned the win over the Cubs on Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and four walks while striking out five over five innings.

      Advice: Abbott struggled a bit with his command in this one as he tied a season high with four walks, but he still managed to get through five innings to get the win. Abbott has now won four of his last six starts and has allowed two runs or fewer in 10 of his 13 starts thus far. The 25-year-old lefty has been a key cog in the Reds' rotation this year, and he will take a 3.28 ERA into his start against the first-place Brewers next week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:15 pm
       
    • Drives offense in big win
      Bichette went 2-for-4 with a walk, two doubles, two runs scored and an RBI in Saturday's 7-0 win over the A's.

      Advice: The shortstop is heating up again, collecting four doubles among his seven hits over the last six games. Bichette's sluggish start to the season is fading in the rearview mirror -- over his last 24 contests, he's batting .302 (29-for-96) with two homers, eight doubles, eight runs and 14 RBI.

    • Kyle Tucker (shin) hoping to return on Friday
      Kyle Tucker (shin) told reporters on Saturday that he’s feeling much improved and is hopeful he’ll be able to return to the Astros’ lineup when he’s first eligible on Friday.

      Advice: The dynamic 27-year-old outfielder is now walking with just one crutch instead of two and he plans to resume baseball activities while the team is in San Francisco this week. It sounds like barring any setbacks, Tucker should be ready to rock at some point next weekend. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:50 pm

    • Aiming for Friday return
      Tucker (lower leg) is aiming to return to the Astros' lineup Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Tucker is hopeful to return after the minimum 10 days on the injured list with a bruised right shin. He's been steadily improving since sustaining the injury and is down to using just one crutch after being seen Friday on two. Mauricio Dubon should handle most of the right field work until Tucker returns, though Joey Loperfido should get into the mix after recently being called up. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:46 pm

    • Abbott picks up fifth win against Cubs Saturday
      Andrew Abbott allowed one run in five innings and got the win in the Reds’ 4-3 victory over the Cubs on Saturday.



      Advice: Abbott gave up five hits, walked four and struck out five. The win was his fifth in 13 starts this year. He’s now won three of his last four starts. While Abbott has a 3.28 ERA on the season, his xFIP is significantly higher at 4.61. He’s benefitted from a .246 BABIP and 84 percent left on base percentage while striking out only 18 percent of batters this year. Abbott will need to miss more bats to avoid regression over the rest of the season. The 25-year-old left-hander is set to face the Brewers on the road next week.
