  • Activated and in Monday's lineup
    The Red Sox activated Gonzalez (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: Gonzalez has missed most of June with a hamstring issue but is ready to roll following a brief rehab assignment. He is starting at second base and batting sixth Monday against Blue Jays left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

  • Red Sox activate Romy Gonzalez from 10-day IL
    Red Sox activated INF/OF Romy Gonzalez from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Gonzalez missed two weeks with a hamstring strain. He’ll mostly play second base against lefties for now. Once Vaughn Grissom returns, the Red Sox figure to demote either Gonzalez or Enmanuel Valdez. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago

  • Absent from lineup
    McKinstry is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Atlanta.

    Advice: He and Ryan Kreidler have split the starts at shortstop down the middle with four apiece since Javier Baez (back) went on the injured list. McKinstry has now been on the bench for all three contests versus lefties, as Atlanta is starting southpaw Max Fried on Monday. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago

  • Called up from Triple-A
    The Dodgers recalled Vargas from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

    Advice: Shortstop Mookie Betts (hand) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move, but Vargas isn't expected to get the first chance to replace the seven-time All-Star in the Dodgers' everyday lineup. Instead, manager Dave Roberts suggested after Sunday's 3-0 win over the Royals that Miguel Rojas would likely step in as the Dodgers' primary shortstop, so Vargas could be limited to the short-side platoon role in the corner outfield that he previously held during his three-plus-week stay with the big club earlier in the season. Vargas saw extended time at second base with the Dodgers and Oklahoma City in 2023, but he's played exclusively in left field and at designated hitter in 2024. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
     
  • Takes seat Monday
    Perez is not in the lineup for Monday's contest in Atlanta.

    Advice: After starting each of the previous seven games, Perez will take a seat Monday as Atlanta goes with southpaw Max Fried on the mound. Matt Vierling will be in right field for the Tigers. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Dodgers call up Vargas to take Betts’ roster spot
    Dodgers recalled OF Miguel Vargas from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: While fantasy managers might get excited about seeing Vargas back up in the big leagues, it doesn’t seem like he’s at all a candidate to see infield time; he hasn’t played an inning anywhere other than left field this year. The Dodgers have said that Miguel Rojas and Enrique Hernández will fill in at shortstop while Mookie Betts is in on the IL. Vargas can take over Hernández’s outfield innings, but it doesn’t seem like a particularly large role to fill and, as such, Vargas should be left on waiver wires for now.

  • Move to IL official
    The Dodgers placed Betts (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: Betts remains without a clear timeline to return to the Dodgers lineup after fracturing a bone in his left hand/wrist in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Royals, but fantasy managers should prepare for the seven-time All-Star to be out for multiple weeks. The Dodgers recalled outfielder Miguel Vargas from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Vargas could serve as a short-side platoon player while he's up with the Dodgers, as manager Dave Roberts suggested after Sunday's game that Miguel Rojas will get the first chance to replace Betts' spot in the everyday lineup at shortstop.

  • Mookie Betts officially placed on IL
    Dodgers placed INF Mookie Betts on the injured list with a left-hand fracture.

    Advice: We found out the extent of Betts’ injury yesterday, and now the Dodgers make the roster move official to put Betts on the IL. He won’t require surgery, but there is no clear timeline other than the team announcing that Betts will return this year. In fantasy leagues, you simply have to hold onto Betts and hope that he’ll return for enough at-bats to make a difference for your team later this year. Miguel Vargas was called up to take his place on the active roster. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago
     
  • Out of Toronto lineup
    Horwitz is not in the lineup for Monday's game versus the Red Sox.

    Advice: Horwitz had started each of the last seven games versus right-handers upon his promotion and batted either first or second in all of those contests, but he will begin this one on the bench as the Red Sox sent righty Nick Pivetta to the hill. Davis Schneider gets the call at second base Monday, with Daulton Varsho handling left field and Kevin Kiermaier center. Rotowire.com Today, 12:43 pm
