  • Returns to lineup
    Caballero (illness) is in the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: After leaving Friday's game due to illness and sitting Saturday, Caballero will return to face rookie right-hander Hurston Waldrep. Taylor Walls has eaten into Caballero's time at shortstop since returning from the injured list, but Caballero is still seeing fairly regular time around the infield for Tampa Bay.

  • Bo Bichette (calf) remains out Sunday vs. CLE
    Bo Bichette (calf) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Guardians.

    Advice: Bichette missed Saturday’s game due to tightness in his right calf, and the 26-year-old shortstop will be out at least one more game due to the trouble. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will get another start at shortstop while Ernie Clement handles the hot corner. Bichette is still considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 8:02 am

  • Remains out of lineup Sunday
    Bichette (calf) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: He was able to play through it for few days, but this is now a second straight absence for Bichette due to right calf soreness. It's uncertain whether he's available off the bench. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will draw a start at shortstop with Ernie Clement at third base. Rotowire.com Today, 7:58 am

  • Another multi-hit performance
    Witt went 2-for-5 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's win over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Witt went hitless in his first three at-bats before driving home Garret Hampson with a single in the seventh. The star shortstop would then go on to swipe his 20th bag of the season while also recording another single in the ninth, giving him his fourth multi-hit performance in his last five contests. Witt is now batting .375 in June with two homers, nine RBI, four stolen bases and eight runs scored. He also leads the majors with 59 runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 7:40 am
     
  • On bench again Sunday
    Mateo is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Mateo will remain on the bench in favor of Ramon Urias -- with Jordan Westburg at second base -- after Urias went 2-for-4 in Saturday's win. While it's a second straight absence for Mateo after four consecutive starts fresh off the 7-day concussion list, there has been no hint of an injury setback. Rotowire.com Today, 7:38 am

  • Extends hitting streak
    Gonzales went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, two RBI and two runs scored Saturday against Colorado.

    Advice: Gonzales tallied Pittsburgh's first run of the game with a solo home run in the fourth inning, his fifth long ball of the season. That knock also extended his hitting streak to six games, and he's hitting .292 with nine RBI and five runs scored across 12 contests in June. Rotowire.com Today, 7:08 am
     
  • Steals, scores in loss
    De La Cruz went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Milwaukee.

    Advice: De La Cruz made his impact in the ninth inning when he walked, stole second base and came home on Jeimer Candelario's double. The theft was De La Cruz's league-leading 35th of the season. His stolen-base attempts have dropped during the month of June. He's attempted four steals in 13 games this month compared to 19 attempts in March/April and 16 in May.

  • Goes deep again Saturday
    Merrill went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Saturday in a loss to the Mets.

    Advice: Merrill produced the only Padres run with a solo shot to center field in the fifth inning. The rookie has homered in three straight contests, belting four total long balls over that span. Merrill has also notched at least one hit in nine of his past 10 games and is batting .351 (13-for-37) with eight extra-base hits, six RBI, seven runs and two steals during that stretch.

  • Logs steal in loss
    Ahmed went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.

    Advice: Ahmed has gone 3-for-7 over two games since he returned from a five-week absence due to a wrist injury. It looks like he'll reclaim a starting job at shortstop, though the Angels have faced a pair of southpaws since Ahmed's return. The righty-hitting infielder was starting prior to his injury, but lefty-hitting Brett Wisely has batted .311 and saw a large share of playing time while Ahmed was out. Ahmed is slashing .248/.282/.299 with no home runs, one steal, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored over 126 plate appearances this season and is primarily valued for his defense rather than his bat.
