  • Moves up from Triple-A
    The White Sox recalled Berroa from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

    Advice: Armed with an upper-90s fastball and a plus slider, Berroa has the makeup of a potential closer for the White Sox down the road, but he's likely to settle into a lower-leverage role initially while joining the big club for the first time this season. After contending with shoulder problems in spring training before falling short in his bid for a spot in the White Sox's Opening Day bullpen, Berroa struggled at Charlotte early in the season but seems to have found his footing of late. Over his last seven appearances prior to his call-up, Berroa struck out eight over seven scoreless innings, though he did give up five hits and six walks. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • One steal, two RBI in loss
    Garcia went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: Garcia struggled in the middle of April, but he's now logged four multi-hit efforts over his last five games. He's added three steals and five RBI in that span while continuing to sit atop the Royals' order. The third baseman is slashing .222/.277/.380 with four home runs, seven steals, 20 RBI and 13 runs scored over 27 contests this season. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Hit hard in loss
    Stratton (2-2) allowed five runs on four hits and a walk while striking out one over one inning to take the loss versus the Tigers on Saturday.

    Advice: Stratton had his worst outing of the season, as the Tigers rallied against him in the seventh inning. He's allowed multiple runs in three of his 12 appearances, but he's maintained scoreless efforts in the other nine. Saturday's poor showing skewed his ratios to a 6.23 ERA and 1.54 WHIP, while his 11:10 K:BB over 13 innings is far from an encouraging sign. Stratton has a save, two holds and a blown save, and it's unlikely one bad appearance will cost him late-inning looks in the long run. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Back in action Sunday
    Lee will start at catcher and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Lee was on the bench for both of the White Sox's previous two games while Martin Maldonado handled the catching duties. After Maldonado ended his stretch of wretched production at the plate by blasting a three-run home run and adding a single in Friday's 9-4 win, he was rewarded with another start in Saturday's 8-7 extra-inning win but went 0-for-2 with a walk. Maldonado is now holding down a lowly .304 OPS on the season -- well below Lee's .774 OPS in 47 plate appearances -- so expect the non-contending White Sox to lean on the younger and better-performing Lee their preferred option behind the dish.

  • Christian Encarnacion-Strand not in lineup Sunday
    Christian Encarnacion-Strand is not in the lineup for Sunday’s contest against the Rangers.

    Advice: Encarnacion-Strand has gone just 1-for-14 over his last four games, and Cincinnati will have the 24-year-old take a day off for the series finale against the Rangers. Spencer Steer is the starting first baseman with Nick Martini the designated hitter. Tyler Stephenson also gets the day off with Luke Maile behind the plate. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Chas McCormick out of lineup Sunday vs. Rockies
    Chas McCormick is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Rockies.

    Advice: McCormick gets a day of rest for the series finale in Mexico against the Rockies. Yordan Alvarez will handle left field with Yainer Diaz operating as the designated hitter and Mauricio Dubón playing center field. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
     
  • Resting for day game
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Rortvedt looks to have secured the large side of a platoon at catcher with the righty-hitting Rene Pinto, but Rortvedt will give way to Pinto against White Sox right-hander Erick Fedde as Tampa Bay wraps up its series in Chicago. Rortvedt's absence from the lineup is likely just for maintenance purposes in the day game, as he caught all 10 innings of Saturday's 8-7 loss while going 3-for-3 with two walks, one stolen base and two runs.

  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Caballero is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Caballero will head to the bench Sunday after he posted a .217/.250/.370 slash line and 26.5 percent strikeout rate while starting the previous 12 games. Amed Rosario will shift to shortstop and bat third. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Not in Sunday's lineup
    Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Milwaukee.

    Advice: Wells went 2-for-6 with a double, a run and two walks in the first two games of the series and will take a seat for the finale. Jose Trevino will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Marcus Stroman. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
