  • Austin Martin optioned to Triple-A by Twins
    Twins optioned INF Austin Martin to Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: Martin appeared in 22 games with the Twins before the demotion and hit .226 with a .665 OPS over 62 at-bats. Because of his positional versatility, there’s a good chance he’s back with the Twins before the season comes to an end. Carlos Correa is off the injured list in the corresponding move.

  • Heads to bench Monday
    Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Frazier will head to the bench after he had been included in the lineup for each of the past six games while making three starts at designated hitter and one apiece at second base and in left field and right field. The Royals could look to keep Frazier in a super-utility role in order to maximize his playing time, but he'll likely have to improve upon his .535 OPS if he's to stick in the lineup on a regular basis moving forward.

  • Gets fourth straight start
    Farmer will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Farmer is included in the lineup for a fourth straight game, but his ongoing presence in the starting nine is a byproduct of the Twins facing three left-handed starting pitchers during that stretch. The 33-year-old is still expected to hit the bench when the Twins oppose right-handers more often than not. Rotowire.com Today, 12:37 pm

  • Julien out of lineup as Twins bench all lefties
    The Twins are opting to bench all their left-handed hitters against Garrett Crochet, which means Edouard Julien, Alex Kirilloff, Trevor Larnach, and Max Kepler are all on the bench on Monday.

    Advice: We had been waiting to see who would get the short end of the stick with Carlos Correa returning from the IL, but it’s impossible to tell that from this lineup. The Twins continue to be the most platoon-heavy lineup in baseball, which is incredibly frustrating for fantasy purposes. Kyle Farmer will get the start at 2B with Manuel Margot in RF, and Willi Castro in LF. Rotoworld Today, 12:27 pm
     
  • Resting Monday
    Brujan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Brujan will hit the bench for the series finale after he had started at third base in each of Miami's last three games while going 6-for-11 with two triples, three runs and one RBI. Though Emmanuel Rivera will get the nod at the hot corner Monday, Brujan's hot hitting of late should gave him the leg up in terms of playing time at the position until Jake Burger (intercostal) returns from the 10-day injured list.

  • Out again versus lefty
    Julien is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: The Twins are facing a lefty for the fourth time in the last six games and Julien has been out of the lineup on all four occasions. Kyle Farmer will handle second base in Julien's place. Rotowire.com Today, 12:26 pm
     
  • Out against lefty again
    Garcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Garcia will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Marlins bring another lefty (Trevor Rogers) to the hill. The Nationals will turn to the switch-hitting Ildemaro Vargas to replace Garcia at the keystone. Rotowire.com Today, 12:18 pm
     
  • Tigers reinstate Andy Ibáñez from the IL
    Tigers activated INF Andy Ibáñez from the injured list.

    Advice: Ibáñez was off to a solid start, hitting .267/.235/.267 across his first seven games while playing mainly second base or third base. In his absence, Matt Vierling has played well, and it’s unclear just what kind of role Ibáñez will be coming back to. More than likely, he’ll be a versatile bench piece for the Tigers. Buddy Kennedy was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Today, 12:00 pm

  • Back in big leagues
    The Mariners recalled Haggerty from Triple-A Tacoma on Monday.

    Advice: Haggerty opened the season on the injured list after missing some time following an unspecified medical procedure, but he hit .344/.417/.375 in 17 games with Tacoma upon returning to action April 5. The 29-year-old will operate in a utility role, with some starts against left-handed pitching possible. Rotowire.com Today, 11:43 am
