    • Ildemaro Vargas with two hits, stolen base
      Ildemaro Vargas went 2-for-3 scoring a run, driving one in, and stealing a base Sunday in a win over the Guardians.

      Advice: Vargas drew his second straight spot-start after CJ Abrams tweaked his shoulder on Friday and had a great all-around game. It’s unlikely his role grows unless Abrams needs a spell on the IL. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:09 pm

    • Picking up rare start Sunday
      Trejo will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Trejo will crack the starting nine for the first time since May 24 while everyday second baseman Brendan Rodgers gets a day out of the field and serves as the Rockies' designated hitter. Though he's been on the active roster since Opening Day, Trejo has made just 12 starts in 58 games and has logged only 34 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:48 pm

    • Moving into reserve role
      Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

      Advice: Since DJ LeMahieu returned from the injured list Tuesday to make his season debut, Cabrera has unsurprisingly been the odd man out of the New York lineup more often than not. He's made just two starts in the six games since LeMahieu's return and appears set to fill a utility role moving forward after holding down the fort at third base for much of the past two months.

    • Likely out 6-to-8 weeks
      Berti (calf) is wearing a walking boot and isn't expected to be able to return from the 10-day injured list for 6-to-8 weeks, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Berti was injured while running out of the batter's box during a game May 24 and was subsequently diagnosed with a high-grade left calf strain. He landed on the IL the following day and received a platelet-rich plasma injection May 28. DJ LeMahieu came off the injured list four days after Berti went down and has reclaimed the primary third base role for the Yankees. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:00 pm

    • Taking seat Sunday
      Montero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Montero started the previous six games but will head to the bench Sunday after batting .167 during that span. Kris Bryant will shift to first base while Brendan Rodgers serves as the designated hitter and Alan Trejo starts at second base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:05 am
       
    • On bench versus lefty
      Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: It's the third straight game on the bench for the 26-year-old, and this time it comes as lefty Nick Lodolo takes the mound for the Reds. Busch had a hot start to the campaign with a 1.062 OPS in his first 19 contests, but he has a .186/.292/.314 slash line and 38.3 percent strikeout rate in his past 35 games. Patrick Wisdom will start at first base Sunday for the Cubs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:50 am
       
    • Getting fourth straight start
      Duran will start at first base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

      Advice: Duran will stay in the lineup for a fourth straight game, with two starts coming against left-handed pitchers and two coming versus righties. While Evan Carter (back) is on the injured list, Duran looks to be a priority for the final spot in the Texas lineup over the likes of Robbie Grossman and Travis Jankowski.

    • No longer starting Sunday
      Dunn was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the White Sox.

      Advice: The 26-year-old was set to receive his first start in a week Sunday, but he'll instead sit as William Contreras and Willy Adames were late additions to the lineup. Joey Ortiz has established himself as Milwaukee's everyday third baseman, so Dunn is unlikely to see much playing time while the infield group remains healthy.

    • Pulled from lineup Sunday
      Monasterio was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the White Sox.

      Advice: The 27-year-old was scheduled to bat ninth as the designated hitter, but William Contreras and Willy Adames were late additions to the lineup after initially being scheduled for days off. Monasterio should continue to operate as a bench bat while seeing some stars against left-handed pitching. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:41 am
