  • 31-19-4 2nd Place
    • Starting Tuesday
      Turnbull will start Tuesday's game against the Angels, with Zack Wheeler getting moved back a day and Aaron Nola moved back to Friday, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

      Advice: Manager Rob Thomson said that he wanted to give Wheeler and Nola the extra rest days, and that he's not inclined to go with a six-man rotation. However, this buys him another start to compare Turnbull against Taijuan Walker and allows us to use Turnbull for another week. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
       
    • Michael Conforto goes 0-for-4 against Pirates
      Michael Conforto finished 0-for-4 against the Pirates on Sunday, leaving him without an RBI in his last five games.

      Advice: Conforto opened the season 13-for-31 with three homers, four doubles and 10 RBI in his first eight games, Since then, he’s 15-for-74 with two homers, two doubles and six RBI in 19 games. He’s been in the lineup regularly against lefties since that fast start, but that probably ought to change, given his recent results. Rotoworld Today, 4:05 pm
       
    • Kyle Finnegan locks down 9th save of season
      Kyle Finnegan closed down the Nationals’ 12-9 win over the Marlins on Sunday.

      Advice: It never seems to come easy for Finnegan, who also walked a hitter on Sunday and threw just 56 percent of his pitches for strikes. However, the Marlins weren’t able to mount much of a challenge and he now has a 2.19 ERA to go along with nine saves. Who knows how long it will last, but it’s hard to argue with the current production. Rotoworld Today, 2:44 pm
       
    • Mountcastle, has three hits, HR vs A’s
      Ryan Mountcastle went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in a loss to the A’s on Sunday.

      Advice: The home run was a 424-foot shot off Paul Blackburn that left the bat at 108.7 mph. It was Mountcastle’s fourth home run on the season, and he’s now slashing .319/.379/.527 on the season with 14 RBI. He gets lost in the shuffle with the Orioles’ having truckloads of talented young prospects, but Mountcastle has been one of their better hitters to start the season and needs to be started in all leagues for now.

    • Ozzie Albies has two hits in win over Guardians
      Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in a win over the Guardians on Sunday.

      Advice: Albies’ double was a well-hit 321-foot shot at 96 mph off the bat, and it’s good to see him making authoritative contact so soon since being activated off the IL. He now has a .329/.393/.513 slash line and should be back to being locked into all lineups. Rotoworld Today, 2:03 pm
       
    • Paul Sewald scheduled to throw bullpen Wednesday
      Paul Sewald (oblique) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday.

      Advice: The Diamondbacks announced on Saturday that Sewald was having his rehab slowed a bit due to renewed soreness, but it sounds like it’s only a minor issue. He’s still probably going to need another appearance or two in rehab games before he’s cleared to return, but it’s not all doom and gloom for the Diamondbacks’ closer. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm

    • Pitches through side tightness
      Hicks said he experienced a bit of side tightness during his start against the Pirates on Saturday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Hicks apparently felt the tightness following the sixth inning, though he still briefly came out for the seventh before being pulled after giving up a leadoff single. The right-hander is apparently fine, but it's still worth keeping an eye on his status heading into his next turn through the rotation, which lines up for next weekend in Philadelphia.

    • Out of Sunday's lineup
      Haniger is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Haniger started the past five games but will receive a day off after he went 2-for-18 with a double, a homer and five RBI during that span. Luke Raley will start in right field Sunday for Seattle. Rotowire.com Today, 11:30 am
       
    • Mitch Haniger, Cal Raleigh out Sunday vs. D-Backs
      Mitch Haniger is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: It’s a day of rest for Haniger as the Mariners will be cautious with the injury-prone 33-year-old outfielder. He’ll rest with Luke Raley getting the start in right field. Cal Raleigh also gets Sunday off with Seby Zavala handling catching duties. Rotoworld Today, 11:29 am
