    • Resting against lefty
      Carpenter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: With a tough southpaw (Cole Ragans) taking the hill for Kansas City, the lefty-hitting Carpenter will retreat to the bench for the series finale. Mark Canha will replace Carpenter in right field. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
    • Heads to bench Wednesday
      Kelly is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: Kelly had started behind the dish in three of the past four games, but he'll give way to Jake Rogers as the Tigers and Royals wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Rogers appeared to have supplanted Kelly as the top option behind the plate toward the end of April, but playing time between the two backstops has been more equitable in May, with Kelly having thus far garnered 10 starts at catcher to Rogers' nine on the month.

    • Colt Keith draws start versus left-hander
      Even though the Tigers are facing a tough lefty in Cole Ragans, Colt Keith is in the lineup for Wednesday’s game versus the Royals.

      Advice: It’s the fourth time this year he’s drawn a start against a lefty. That he’s gone 6-for-8 the last two days certainly helped his cause here. Kerry Carpenter and Wenceel Pérez are taking a seat versus Ragans. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago

    • Bullpen spoils win Tuesday
      Quantrill did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Athletics, allowing two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out eight over six innings.

      Advice: Quantrill surrendered a third inning home run to JD Davis and later allowed the A's to scratch across an additional run in the sixth after JJ Bleday tripled before scoring on a wild pitch. Quantrill was in line for a fourth consecutive win after exiting the contest but that eventually spoiled after the bullpen coughed up three runs between the seventh and eighth innings. The 29-year-old nearly matched his season-high in strikeouts. His strikeout rate this season is up to 18.6 percent, which is a significant improvement from 13.1 last year. Quantrill now owns a 3.59 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB in 57.2 innings and faces a tough test ahead of him against the Phillies over the weekend. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
    • Loses hold of regular role
      Robles is out of the lineup for the Wednesday's game against the Twins, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

      Advice: Shortly after his return from the 10-day injured list May 7, Robles appeared to gain traction as an everyday player in the Washington outfield, as he started seven times in an eight-game stretch from May 10 through 18. However, with Joey Gallo coming off the IL this past weekend, Robles has been the odd man out of the lineup while Jesse Winker, Jacob Young and Eddie Rosario have settled in as the Nationals' primary outfielders from left to right. Robles, who has produced just two hits in 23 at-bats in the majors this season, is on the bench for a fourth straight game and looks like he'll be limited to fourth-outfielder duties for the foreseeable future.

    • Victor Robles sits for fourth straight game
      Victor Robles is out of the Nationals lineup for a fourth consecutive game Wednesday.

      Advice: Robles started nine out of 10 games before this stretch, but with Joey Gallo back, he’s been left out of the mix versus right-handers. Unfortunately for him, the Nationals won’t see another lefty until next week. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago
    • Getting regular work at first base
      Gallo will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Twins, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

      Advice: Since being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Gallo has now drawn six consecutive starts, with all coming at first base. While Joey Meneses has moved to designated hitter to accommodate Gallo, the Nationals might not have regular room in the lineup for Gallo once Lane Thomas (knee) returns from the injured list, perhaps as soon as this weekend. Gallo has gone 3-for-17 with nine strikeouts through his first five starts since coming off the IL, and he's produced a career-worst .579 OPS this season while striking out at a 47.3 percent clip.

    • Goes deep again Tuesday
      McMahon went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.

      Advice: McMahon kicked off the scoring with a two-run blast in the first inning off of Aaron Brooks for his only hit of the evening. He's now upped his hitting streak to nine games and is slashing .378/.310/.676 with three homers, seven RBI and nine runs scored. He's maintained an average north of .300 for the majority of the season thus far and is currently riding a streak of 19 consecutive plate appearances without striking out. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
    • Joey Loperfido on bench for third straight game
      Joey Loperfido is absent from the Astros lineup for a third straight game Wednesday against the Angels.

      Advice: It seems pretty obvious who is getting demoted when José Abreu returns. It’s hardly Loperfido’s fault, though; he’s hit .333/.381/.436 in 14 games since being called up. Unfortunately for him, Jake Meyers and Mauricio Dubón have been hot as well. Rotoworld 56 minutes ago
