    • Out Sunday with back tightness
      Ohtani (back) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Ohtani's absence from the starting nine was fully expected after he was removed from Saturday's 5-0 win over the Padres following his fourth at-bat of the night due to lower-back tightness. According to ESPN.com, manager Dave Roberts said he had minimal concern about Ohtani's health, but the star designated hitter will nonetheless sit out the series finale in San Diego. The Dodgers are seemingly hopeful that Ohtani can return to the lineup for Monday's series opener in San Francisco. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
       
    • Shohei Ohtani out Sunday with back tightness
      Shohei Ohtani (back) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Padres.

      Advice: Ohtani was removed from Saturday’s game with tightness in his back, and he’ll miss at least one full game while recovering. Will Smith will be the designated hitter while Ohtani rests and Austin Barnes behind the plate. For now, the two-time MVP should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
       
    • Ryan Jeffers out Sunday against Blue Jays
      Ryan Jeffers is not in the starting lineup versus the Blue Jays on Sunday.

      Advice: Jeffers will get Sunday off for the series finale against the Jays. Christian Vazquez is starting behind the plate and hitting seventh. Rotoworld Today, 9:08 am
       
    • Christopher Morel (knee) back in lineup Sunday
      Christopher Morel (knee) is hitting fifth and playing third base against the Pirates.

      Advice: Morel left Saturday’s game with right knee soreness, but it was purely precautionary, and he’ll get the start against the Bucs on Sunday. Morel has played relatively well in May with four homers, but his .220 average on the season is a bit of a disappointment. Rotoworld Today, 8:20 am

    • Back in action Sunday
      Morel (knee) will start at third base and bat cleanup Sunday against the Pirates.

      Advice: Morel exited in the fifth inning of Saturday's 10-9 loss to Pittsburgh with right knee soreness after he appeared to get hurt on a stolen base attempt in the top of the third. The injury looks to be a minor one, however, given that the 24-year-old is back in the lineup a day later. Morel has gone 8-for-34 with four home runs, 11 RBI and two stolen bases in May.

    • Gets rest for series finale
      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 Today, 7:56 am
       
    • Getting breather Sunday
      Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Jeffers looks to be getting a rest in the series finale after he started in each of the Twins' previous three games while going 2-for-11 with a pair of home runs and one walk. Christian Vazquez will spell Jeffers behind the dish. Rotowire.com Today, 6:59 am
       
    • Three extra-base hits Saturday
      Mountcastle went 3-for-5 with a triple, two doubles and one run scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Mountcastle has been making some loud contact in May, with seven of his 11 hits this month going for extra bases. The first baseman is slashing .288/.331/.511 with six home runs, 18 RBI, 22 runs scored, two stolen bases, 11 doubles and a triple over 35 contests overall. Per Statcast, Mountcastle has a 46.6 percent hard-hit rate this season, the best mark of his career, though his 10.7 percent barrel rate is the lowest it's been in four years.

    • Shohei Ohtani leaves game with tightness in back
      Shohei Ohtani was removed from Saturday night’s battle against the Padres due to tightness in his back.

      Advice: As of now, Dodgers’ skipper Dave Roberts is calling his level of concern “minimal”, though he acknowledged that Ohtani would likely get a day off on Sunday to err on the side of caution. It doesn’t sound like the superstar slugger should be looking at any sort of extended absence, but it’s a situation worth monitoring. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:46 pm
