    • Happ leaves the yard Thursday
      Ian Happ went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Pirates on Thursday.



      Advice: The homer was just Happ’s second of the year. It has undeniably been a down year for the 29-year-old outfielder. His power has cratered as his ISO is just .100 compared to his career .198 ISO. Most of Happ’s utility comes from playing everyday. He’s played 158 games in each of the last two seasons. Last season was his best year as he was able to compile 21 home runs, 86 runs scored, 84 RBI, and 14 stolen bases. He won’t be able to reach those numbers this season, but his $20 million average annual value should still keep him in the lineup everyday.

    • Max Kepler goes hitless in Twins’ shutout loss
      Max Kepler went 0-for-4 with a strikeout on Thursday in the Twins’ shutout loss at the hands of the Yankees.

      Advice: Kepler has been one of the hottest hitters in baseball of late, hitting .354 (17-for-48) with two homers and seven doubles in 14 games since the start of May, but wasn’t able to get anything going in this one. He wasn’t alone as Minnesota’s lineup wound up being limited to just three hits as Yankees starter Clarke Schmidt and reliever Victor González combined on a shutout.

    • Absent from lineup again
      Happ is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

      Advice: Happ is on the bench for the second game in a row, so he could be dealing with an unreported injury. Mike Tauchman will cover left field in Happ's stead Wednesday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:39 pm
       
    • Getting day off Wednesday
      Carroll is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: Carroll looked like he might be righting the ship earlier this month, but he's since fallen back into a 3-for-28 slump over his last seven contests. Jake McCarthy will patrol center field Wednesday while Carroll regroups. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:56 am
       
    • Max Kepler sitting against lefty on Tuesday
      Max Kepler, Edouard Julien, Trevor Larnach and Alex Kirilloff are not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Yankees.

      Advice: The quartet of left-handed batters will take a seat with tough lefty Carlos Rodón toeing the rubber for New York. Kepler has been outstanding of late since returning from the injured list, but figures to continue sitting against southpaws. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:43 pm
       
    • Could return Friday
      Carter (back) received a cortisone injection and is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Guardians, but he could rejoin the lineup as soon as Friday versus the Angels, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning Newsreports.

      Advice: The 21-year-old hasn't seen the field since Saturday and was diagnosed with lower-back inflammation after an MRI on Monday. He'll now be unavailable for at least a couple more days following the injection. Ezequiel Duran is receiving another start in left field Tuesday in Carter's stead. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:36 pm

    • Taking seat Tuesday
      Happ is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

      Advice: The switch hitter is better from the left side of the plate, so it makes sense to give him a breather as Atlanta sends southpaw Chris Sale to the hill. Mike Tauchman will occupy left field for the Cubs. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:53 pm
       
    • Evan Carter (back) not in Tuesday’s lineup
      Evan Carter (back) is absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Guardians.

      Advice: Carter is targeting a return to the Rangers’ lineup later this week after receiving a cortisone injection on Wednesday to address lower back inflammation. The 21-year-old outfielder appears likely to avoid the injured list, barring something unexpected, and should be ready to roll at some point in a couple days. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:42 pm

    • Sitting out Tuesday
      Kepler is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest versus the Yankees.

      Advice: The left-handed hitting Kepler is swinging a red-hot bat but will take a seat in this one with the Yankees starting southpaw Carlos Rodon. Manuel Margot will patrol right field. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:10 pm
