    • Out Sunday with back tightness
      Ohtani (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Ohtani's absence from the starting nine was fully expected after he was removed from Saturday's 5-0 win over the Padres following his fourth at-bat of the night due to lower-back tightness. According to ESPN.com, manager Dave Roberts said he had minimal concern about Ohtani's health, but the star designated hitter will nonetheless sit out the series finale in San Diego. The Dodgers are seemingly hopeful that Ohtani can return to the lineup for Monday's series opener in San Francisco. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
       
    • Shohei Ohtani out Sunday with back tightness
      Shohei Ohtani (back) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres.

      Advice: Ohtani was removed from Saturday’s game with tightness in his back, and he’ll miss at least one full game while recovering. Will Smith will be the designated hitter while Ohtani rests and Austin Barnes behind the plate. For now, the two-time MVP should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
       
    • Taking seat Sunday
      Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Busch had started each of the Cubs' first 10 games of May and the Pirates are bringing a lefty (Bailey Falter) to the hill Sunday, so Cubs manager Craig Counsell likely viewed it as an optimal time to give the 26-year-old the day off. Patrick Wisdom will check in for Busch at first base and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:43 am

    • Getting first day off of 2024
      Altuve is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: After being limited to playing in 90 games in 2023, Altuve is off to a healthy start to 2024. He's started in each of Houston's first 39 games, but he'll be on the bench Sunday in what looks to be a routine maintenance day. Mauricio Dubon will check in at second base for Altuve, who gets the day off while he's in the midst of a minor slump at the dish. Altuve has gone 3-for-21 with seven strikeouts over his last five starts. Rotowire.com Today, 8:18 am
       
    • Jose Altuve not starting Sunday against Tigers
      Jose Altuve is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Tigers.

      Advice: It’s a day of rest for Altuve after playing the first 39 games of the season with a .312 average and .882 OPS. The 34-year-old gets Sunday off with Kyle Tucker moving to the leadoff spot and Mauricio Dubon playing second base while hitting ninth. Rotoworld Today, 8:12 am
       
    • Michael Busch gets Sunday off vs. Pirates
      Michael Busch is not in the lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Pirates.

      Advice: Busch will get a break against left-hander Bailey Falter and the Pirates for Sunday’s finale. Patrick Wisdom will instead start at first and hit cleanup against Falter and the Bucs. Rotoworld Today, 7:52 am

    • Homer, double in win
      Freeman went 2-for-3 with a double and a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Padres while also drawing a walk.

      Advice: Freeman kicked things off for the Dodgers with a solo shot off Matt Waldron in the top of the first, giving the first baseman his fourth home run of the season. The veteran infielder would reach three times on the night after also doubling and drawing a walk, raising his average to .333 in the month of May. Freeman has now hit safely in five straight games and in 17 of his last 19 contests overall. Rotowire.com Today, 5:56 am
       
    • Stays hot
      Cruz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored Saturday against the Cubs.

      Advice: Cruz got off to a slow start to the season, though he's managed multiple hits in four of his last five starts. He's hit .500 in that span, also hitting two home runs while collecting six RBI and five runs scored. Importantly, Cruz has greatly cut down on his strikeout rate, as he's punched out multiple times in a game only three times in his last 17 starts and struck out at just a 23.8 percent clip in that span.

    • Modest three-game hitting streak
      Bregman went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Tigers.

      Advice: Bregman delivered an RBI single in the fourth inning to extend his hitting streak to three games. While that's not particularly notable, he's collected a hit in three straight starts only two other times this season, with the most recent stretch ending April 15. The end result is that Bregman has just a .201 batting average across 154 plate appearances on the campaign, though he has improved his production of late by tallying six RBI across his last 13 contests.
