    • Heading to bench Monday
      Loperfido is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: With a single and a double in Sunday's 9-3 win over the Tigers, Loperfido propped his on-base percentage up to .367 for the season, but the rookie still has yet to take full control of an everyday spot in the lineup. He'll hit the bench for the second time in four games while catcher Yainer Diaz gets a day off behind the plate and serves as Houston's designated hitter. Meanwhile, Yordan Alvarez will pick up a start in left field, where Loperfido has seen most of his big-league action thus far. Rotowire.com Today, 4:42 pm
       
    • Still feeling ill
      Manager John Schneider said Monday that Springer is out of the lineup for the Blue Jays' series opener in Baltimore because he's still feeling sick, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

      Advice: After sitting out Friday and Saturday due to the ailment, Springer returned to the lineup for Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins and played nine innings in right field while going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. Despite playing a full game, Springer apparently hasn't completely shaken the illness, so he'll be back on the bench Monday. A bug seems to be making its way around the clubhouse, as Kevin Kiermaier and Justin Turner are out of the lineup for the fourth and second consecutive games, respectively, due to illnesses of their own.

    • George Springer again sidelined by illness
      George Springer, who missed games Friday and Saturday before going 0-for-4 on Sunday, is again sidelined due to illness on Monday.

      Advice: It seems he, Justin Turner and Kevin Kiermaier all have the same thing. Cavan Biggio is playing right field in his place. Rotoworld Today, 1:59 pm
       
    • Taking seat Monday
      Springer is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Springer made his return from a two-game absence due to an illness in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins, starting in right field and playing all nine innings while going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. The Blue Jays haven't indicated that Springer is still feeling under the weather, so his absence Monday is likely just a pre-planned maintenance day as he works his way back to full strength following the bout with the illness. Cavan Biggio will replace Springer in right field. Rotowire.com Today, 1:34 pm
       
    • Giants place Michael Conforto (hamstring) on IL
      Giants placed OF Michael Conforto on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain.

      Advice: The 31-year-old slugger sustained the injury as he was rounding first base during Saturday’s game against the Reds. No word yet on how long exactly he’ll be sidelined for. Luis Matos was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move to provide depth in the Giants’ outfield while Conforto is shelved. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:34 pm

    • George Springer goes 0-for-4 in loss to Twins
      George Springer went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Twins on Sunday.

      Advice: The Blue Jays still haven’t wavered on Springer in the leadoff spot, but maybe it’s time. He’s down to .200/.273/.290, and while Statcast thinks he’s been awfully unlucky, he’s still trending in the wrong direction in recent weeks. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:30 pm
       
    • Sitting Sunday
      D'Arnaud is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Mets.

      Advice: D'Arnaud will get a breather Sunday after starting in each of the last four games. He's gone 4-for-18 in May but has registered a hit in each of his last three contests. Chadwick Tromp will start behind the plate and bat ninth against Mets right-hander Luis Severino. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:09 pm
       
    • Travis d’Arnaud sitting Sunday against Mets
      Travis d’Arnaud is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Mets.

      Advice: Instead, Atlanta will start Chadwick Tromp behind the plate while d’Arnaud rests. The 35-year-old backstop was excellent to begin 2024, but he’s struggled thus far in May with a .611 OPS over 18 at-bats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:41 pm
       
    • Lands on IL with hamstring strain
      The Giants placed Conforto on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a right hamstring strain.

      Advice: After Conforto left in the fourth inning of Saturday's win against the Reds, the hope was that the right hamstring strain was mild enough for the 31-year-old to be considered day-to-day. The MRI on Sunday revealed a more severe strain, and Conforto will be sidelined until at least May 22. In a corresponding move, the Giants recalled Luis Matos from Triple-A Sacremento.
