  • Heads to bench Sunday
    Gonzales is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Following his call-up from Triple-A Indianapolis, Gonzales had started at second base in the first two games of the series and went 1-for-7 with a walk, two RBI and a run scored. He'll give way to Alika Williams on Sunday, and the two could end up operating in a timeshare at the keystone until Ke'Bryan Hayes (back) returns from the injured list. Jared Triolo has acted as the Pirates' primary second baseman this season, but he'll see the majority of the starts at the hot corner while Hayes is on the mend. Rotowire.com Today, 9:00 am
  • Sitting in series finale
    Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Cabrera went 0-for-2 in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Rays and is slashing just .200/.246/.262 over his last 20 games. He finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games and could be losing hold of his regular role at third base. Jon Berti will fill in for Cabrera once again Sunday.

  • Not starting Sunday
    Mateo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Mateo will hit the bench after he had started at second base in each of the last three games while going 3-for-11 with an RBI and three runs scored. Jordan Westburg will shift over from third base to cover the keystone in place of Mateo. Rotowire.com Today, 7:52 am

  • Collects three hits Saturday
    Volpe went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in a loss to Tampa Bay on Saturday.

    Advice: Volpe was the only Yankee to stand out offensively in the loss -- he was responsible for three of the team's five hits, plated both of the club's runs on a second-inning single and added a stolen base to boot. The young shortstop has reached base safely via hit or walk in nine straight contests, slashing .286/.375/.486 with two homers, seven RBI, seven runs and a 5:11 BB:K over that span. After swiping 24 bags as a rookie last year, Volpe is on pace to exceed that mark with eight steals in nine attempts so far in 2024. Rotowire.com Today, 7:42 am
  • Blaze Alexander out Sunday against Orioles
    Blaze Alexander is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Alexander will retreat to the bench for the series finale against Baltimore. Kevin Newman will instead start at shortstop and hit eighth against Dean Kremer and the Orioles. Rotoworld Today, 7:08 am
  • Back on bench Sunday
    Alexander is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: The right-handed-hitting Alexander started each of the past three games, but he appears to be viewed as a short-side platoon player, with two of those three starts coming against left-handed pitching. He'll give way to Kevin Newman at shortstop Sunday while the Orioles bring right-hander Dean Kremer to the hill. Rotowire.com Today, 6:56 am
  • Two hits, two stolen bases in loss
    Witt went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's loss to the Angels.

    Advice: Witt scored Kansas City's first run of the game after reaching on an infield single and stealing second, coming home on a double from Salvador Perez. The star shortstop would later drive in a run with another single in the sixth before stealing his second base of the contest, though he was then thrown out trying to steal third. Witt has now recorded multiple hits in five of 10 games this month. He's batting .314 over that stretch with four RBI, 12 runs and six stolen bases. Rotowire.com Today, 6:39 am
  • Swats homer in loss
    De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Giants.

    Advice: De La Cruz launched his ninth home run in the fourth inning for the Reds' lone run. He entered Saturday with multiple steals in three straight games but was never in position to extend the baserunning streak. The dynamic infielder has hit safely in three straight (5-for-10) and is batting .272 with a .910 OPS over 158 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 6:05 am
  • Goes deep in loss
    Hoerner went 1-for-3 with a walk, a solo home run, an additional run scored and two total RBI in Saturday's 10-9 loss to the Pirates.

    Advice: Hoerner took rookie Paul Skenes deep in the fourth inning for just his second long ball of the season. He drove in another run an inning later when he walked with the bases loaded. The low power output isn't too surprising, as Hoerner had only nine home runs last year and just 10 in 2022. The shortstop has still been productive in May with a .300 batting average and .941 OPS for the month along with both homers and three stolen bases. Rotowire.com Today, 5:35 am
