    • Nursing back spasms
      Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles due to back spasms, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

      Advice: The injury explains why Jansen is on the bench for a second straight game after he was held out of the lineup for Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins in what appeared to be a routine maintenance day. Jansen came off the bench and pinch hit for designated hitter Daniel Vogelbach in that contest, and Schneider said that he's hopeful Jansen will be available again Monday, if needed. Alejandro Kirk will pick up another start at catcher in Jansen's stead. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:01 pm
       
    • Danny Jansen absent due to back spasms
      Danny Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday’s game due to back spasms.

      Advice: Jansen is hoping to be available off the bench if needed. Alejandro Kirk is making a second straight start behind the plate against the Orioles. Rotoworld Monday, 1:57 pm
       
    • Out of starting nine Monday
      Jansen is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Jansen is on the bench for a second consecutive game, but he didn't get a true day off in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins, as he was summoned from the bench as a pinch hitter and drove in a run in his lone plate appearance. He'll likely get a more proper day of rest Monday while Alejandro Kirk gets another turn behind the plate. Rotowire.com Monday, 1:30 pm
       
    • Goes yard
      Rutschman went 1-for-4 with a solo homer during Sunday's 9-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Rutschman notched his sixth long ball of the campaign, tagging Zac Gallen for a solo home run in the sixth inning. After seeing his batting average jump from .254 to .277 last season, Rutschman has taken another step forward at the plate in 2024, slashing .304/.339/.453 with 23 RBI and 21 runs scored across 38 games.

    • Patrick Bailey scratched due to illness on Sunday
      Patrick Bailey was scratched from the Giants’ starting lineup on Sunday due to a viral illness.

      Advice: At least his absence wasn’t concussion-related, but we’ve seen these viral illnesses going around many MLB clubs and they’ve been forcing players to miss extended time. The good news is that he’s considered day-to-day and shouldn’t require a return trip to the injured list, but he may wind up needing a couple of days before he’s ready to return.

    • Adley Rutschman homers in loss to Arizona
      Adley Rutschman went 1-for-4 with a home run in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Rutschman took a Zac Gallen offering and hit it 363 feet at 105.5 mph for his sixth home run of the season. The 26-year-old continues to be a solid performer at the top of the Orioles’ lineup and one of the best catchers in fantasy baseball. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:03 pm
       
    • Dealing with illness
      Bailey was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Reds due to a viral illness, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Bailey was a late removal from the team's lineup ahead of their series finale with Cincinnati, which is now understood to have been the result of an illness. If the catcher is forced to miss any further time, Blake Sabol will likely operate as the team's exclusive catcher. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:42 pm
       
    • Scratched from lineup Sunday
      Bailey has been scratched from the lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Bailey was set to start at DH and bat in the cleanup spot, but he has since been removed from the lineup. Wilmer Flores will take over as the designated hitter Sunday and will bat fourth against Reds right-hander Frankie Montas. Rotowire.com Sunday, 1:21 pm

      Jansen is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Twins.

      Advice: Jansen will sit for the series finale Sunday while Alejandro Kirk starts behind the dish and bats eighth against Twins right-hander Bailey Ober. Since May 1, Jansen has gone 10-for-28 with four doubles, two home runs and four RBI. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:56 am
