  • Batting leadoff Tuesday
    Hurtubise is starting in left field and batting leadoff in Tuesday's game versus the Padres.

    Advice: It's Hurtubise's fourth start in eight games since being recalled and the first time in those starts that he didn't bat ninth. With Jonathan India and Will Benson struggling and TJ Friedl (thumb) hurt again, the Reds are looking for someone to establish themselves at leadoff. The odds would seem to be against Hurtubise being that guy, but he did show good on-base skills in the minors with a .434 OBP. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago

  • Taking seat against southpaw
    Larnach is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Larnach is one of many Twins players in a platoon, leaving DH duties to Ryan Jeffers, who's batting second. Larnach is amidst an ugly slump, going hitless in his last 17 at-bats. Rotowire.com Today, 11:36 am
     
  • Idle against lefty
    Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: As per usual, Kirilloff will take a seat with Minnesota facing a left-handed pitcher (Patrick Corbin). Willi Castro will bat sixth and play left field. Rotowire.com Today, 11:33 am
     
  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Taylor is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Giants.

    Advice: Ji Hwan Bae -- who was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier Tuesday -- will get the start in center field. Taylor has just a .544 OPS and a 35.8 percent strikeout for Pittsburgh this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:32 am
     
  • Ji Hwan Bae called up, starting in center vs. SF
    Pirates recalled OF Ji Hwan bae from Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: Bae will start in center field Tuesday against the Giants and hit ninth. The 24-year-old had some flashes of success for Pittsburgh in 2023, but he isn’t likely to contribute in enough categories to be a recommended addition in fantasy circles. Rotoworld Today, 11:32 am
     
  • On bench again
    Kepler is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: The Twins are facing a lefty for the second straight day, meaning Kepler will give way to the righty-hitting Manuel Margot in right. Kepler is slashing .303/.352/.505 across 108 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:29 am
     
  • Conner Capel heading back to Triple-A Louisville
    Reds optioned OF Conner Capel to Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Capel had just eight plate appearances with the Reds after being added from Louisville on May 7. Nick Martini takes his place on the roster. Rotoworld Today, 11:01 am
