  • Keeps power surge going
    Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Ramirez has already had a strong first half of the campaign, but he's been especially impressive lately. Over his last 12 games, he's batting .340 (17-for-50) with five homers, four stolen bases, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored. He's now hitting .280 on the year with an .890 OPS, 23 homers, 75 RBI, 64 runs scored and 15 steals. He's on pace to return to the 30-homer mark for the first time since 2021, and he could have a chance to challenge for his first 40-homer campaign. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:02 am
     
  • Joey Ortiz (neck) remains out Sunday vs. Cubs
    Joey Ortiz (neck) is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Ortiz is dealing with neck stiffness, and the issue caused him to be scratched from Saturday’s lineup and will cause at least one more missed game. The Brewers are calling Ortiz’s absence precautionary, so consider the 25-year-old day-to-day for now. Andruw Monasterio will handle third base while Ortiz recovers. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:16 am
     
  • Three hits, RBI in loss
    Chapman went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Chapman doubled in his first at-bat before then getting caught trying to steal second. He then drove home Heliot Ramos with an infield single in the following frame before eventually going on to reach a total of four times in the contest. It marked Chapman's fourth three-hit performance this season and his first since May 18 against the Rockies. The third baseman has also hit safely in six straight games, posting two homers, six RBI and six runs scored over that stretch. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:38 am
     
  • Returning from four-game absence
    Candelario (hamstring) will serve as the Reds' designated hitter and No. 3 batter in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: After missing out on four straight starts due to hamstring tendinitis, Candelario will draw back into the lineup in a non-defensive role as he makes his fifth start of the season at DH. With Noelvi Marte recently completing his 80-game suspension and likely to see the bulk of the starts at third base moving forward, Candelario could end up picking up most of his playing time at either DH or first base, which should aid his recovery from the hamstring issue.

  • Scratched with neck soreness
    Ortiz was scratched from the Brewers' lineup ahead of Saturday's game versus the Cubs due to neck soreness.

    Advice: Ortiz was originally in line to make his return to Milwaukee's lineup after neck problems kept him from playing Friday, but he'll instead require another day to rest up. As a result, Andruw Monasterio will pick up another start at third base and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:41 am
