  • David Hamilton on the bench Tuesday vs. Marlins
    David Hamilton is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Marlins.

    Advice: Hamilton grabs a seat on the bench with Marlins rookie Valente Bellozo taking the ball to open Tuesday’s showdown in Miami. The 26-year-old has been forced to split time with fellow youngster Enmanuel Valdez at the keystone over the last few weeks, which probably works well for the Red Sox, but is a thorn in the side for fantasy managers. It’ll be difficult for him to find everyday playing time unless injuries strike Boston’s outfield, which would lead to Ceddanne Rafaela moving from shortstop to center field.

  • Held out of Tuesday's lineup
    Seager (wrist) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: The 30-year-old has had X-rays and an MRI come back negative since being struck in the left wrist by a pitch Saturday in Baltimore, but he'll still sit for the second straight game Tuesday. Josh Smith will receive another start at shortstop as Seager continues to heal up. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:05 pm
     
  • Taking seat Tuesday
    Grossman is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Grossman had started back-to-back games at DH, but he'll give way to Derek Hill on Tuesday. Grossman is slashing .211/.323/.278 across 158 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:00 pm
     
  • Corey Seager (hand) out of lineup Tuesday vs. SD
    Corey Seager (hand) is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Padres.

    Advice: Seager could possibly be available off the bench after imaging came back negative on his left hand, but that’s not known at this time. The shortstop will take a seat to begin Tuesday’s tilt with Josh Smith getting the start at shortstop and Jonathan Ornelas at third base. For now, consider Seager day-to-day.

  • Out of Boston lineup
    Hamilton is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Miami.

    Advice: Hamilton has started to cool off at the plate a bit with just two hits in his last 18 at-bats. As a result, he's seen his playing time squeezed, as this is the third time he's been on the bench over the Red Sox' last five contests. Enmanuel Valdez and Ceddanne Rafaela will form the middle-infield combo for Boston on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:34 pm
     
  • Absent from lineup
    Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Arcia missed two games last week due to dizziness before returning to play the last four contests. He hasn't suffered any known setback, so this would appear to be a routine day of rest. Zack Short will fill in at shortstop. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:12 pm

  • Orlando Arcia out of lineup Tuesday vs. Giants
    Orlando Arcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s tilt against the Giants.

    Advice: Arcia is on the bench with Zack Short playing shortstop for Atlanta. It could be a day of rest for the 29-year-old, but it’s worth pointing out that he missed time while dealing with an illness last week. There’ll be an injury update if necessary, but for now Arcia shouldn’t be in lineups for Tuesday’s contest. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:07 pm

  • Swipes ninth bag
    Springer went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's loss to the Astros.

    Advice: The veteran outfielder extended his hitting streak to six games while pilfering his ninth bag of the year in nine attempts. Springer is batting .550 (11-for-20) with two doubles, three homers, four runs and 10 RBI during his heater, but he still has a long way to go climb out of his early season hole -- his .641 OPS is well below his .824 career mark.

  • Slugs go-ahead homer in extras
    Martinez went 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and two walks in Monday's 9-7 win against the Nationals.

    Advice: The New York designated hitter blasted a titanic 420-foot homer off Hunter Harvey in the 10th inning to break the tie. The round tripper was a welcome sight for Martinez, as he entered this contest in a bit of a cold spell, slashing .211/.333/.342 across 47 plate appearances over his previous 10 games with just one homer. The veteran power hitter now sports a .278 average with 10 home runs, 37 RBI and 22 runs scored in 209 at-bats overall. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:07 pm
