  • Gaining traction in everyday lineup
    Calhoun will serve as the Angels' designated hitter and cleanup batter in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Calhoun will stick in the starting nine for the third straight game after going 4-for-8 with two doubles and one run to begin his tenure with the Angels. At least while Miguel Sano (knee) and Anthony Rendon (hamstring) are on the injured list, the lefty-hitting Calhoun should be in store for regular starts as the Angels' DH against right-handed pitching.

  • Steps out of lineup
    Ramirez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: Ramirez went 3-for-8 with a run a three strikeouts while starting the first two games of the series but will take a seat for Sunday's finale. Amed Rosario will receive a turn at designated hitter while Richie Palacios starts at the keystone. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Colin Selby sent to Triple-A by KC on Sunday
    Royals optioned RHP Colin Selby to Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: Selby was up for a little under a week, and the Royals will send him back to Omaha to make room for Daniel Lynch on the active roster. Selby will likely be back in a low-leverage role at some point in 2024. Rotoworld 9 minutes ago
     
  • Royals recall Daniel Lynch from Triple-A Omaha
    Royals recalled LHP Daniel Lynch from Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: Lynch is going to start Sunday’s game against the Rangers. In six starts with Omaha, the left-hander registered a 6.86 ERA and 22/9 K/BB over 27/2 innings. Lynch is a former top prospect, but his lack of consistent success makes him an unworthy fantasy target at this time. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • Retreating to bench
    Adrianza is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Adrianza had started each of the past three games at third base while going 1-for-11 with a solo home run. Even with Miguel Sano (knee) on the injured list and with Luis Rengifo (illness) out of the lineup for the second game in a row, Adrianza will cede the hot corner to Cole Tucker in the series finale.

  • Sitting against southpaw
    Keith is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Keith will retreat to the bench while southpaw Nestor Cortes takes the hill for the Yankees. Andy Ibanez will step in at second base in place of Keith, who has recorded an RBI in three straight games but still has just eight on the season while hitting .155 across his first 107 big-league plate appearances.

  • Back in lineup Sunday
    Baez will start at shortstop and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, Baez has been dealing with lingering low-back soreness, which may explain why the Tigers held him out of the lineup for Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Yankees. The sore back doesn't look as though it'll be anything that forces Baez to the 10-day injured list, but he could start receiving more frequent days off, especially if he continues to underwhelm at the plate. After turning in a .671 OPS and .592 OPS in the 2022 and 2023 campaigns, respectively, Baez has declined further so far in his third season in Detroit. He carries a .183/.228/.258 slash line into Sunday's contest. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • On bench in second straight
    Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: After sitting against Tigers right-hander Casey Mize in Saturday's 5-3 win, the lefty-hitting Wells will remain on the bench Sunday with southpaw Tarik Skubal on the hill for Detroit. The Yankees may be opting for more of a timeshare at catcher between Wells and the right-handed-hitting Jose Trevino rather than a true platoon, given that Trevino has been the better performer of the two this season. Trevino heads into Sunday's game with a .719 OPS, more than 100 points higher than Wells' mark (.592). Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
     
  • Back in bench role
    Grisham is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Grisham recently made four consecutive starts in center field, but three came while Alex Verdugo was away from the team on paternity leave. With Verdugo having rejoined the Yankees on Thursday, Grisham has predictably moved back into a fourth-outfielder role. He'll take a seat for the third straight game Sunday.
