    • Blaze Alexander out Sunday against Orioles
      Blaze Alexander is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Alexander will retreat to the bench for the series finale against Baltimore. Kevin Newman will instead start at shortstop and hit eighth against Dean Kremer and the Orioles. Rotoworld 2 minutes ago
       
    • Solid in big league debut
      Estes (1-0) earned the win over the Mariners on Saturday, allowing one run on two hits over five innings while striking out five.

      Advice: Estes was efficient throughout his five innings of work, doing much of the damage with his slider and four-seamer. While he only threw eight of his 17 first pitches for strikes, the right-hander was frequently able to work his way back from being down in the count and gave up only two hits on the night, though one of those was a home run. Estes also took a liner off his right bicep in the first, but still managed to scoop it up and retire Julio Rodriguez for the out at first base before waving off the trainer and continuing on with the inning. It was certainly an impressive debut for the promising rookie, though it remains to be seen whether or not he'll stick around in the rotation for another start. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
       
    • Getting maintenance day
      Moreno is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Moreno will receive a breather after he had started at catcher both of the previous two days while going 1-for-8 with a double. Tucker Barnhart will get the starting nod behind the dish in the series finale in Baltimore. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
       
    • Heading to bench Sunday
      Miranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Willi Castro will get the nod at third base Sunday, but Miranda had manned the hot corner each of the past five games while going 5-for-18 with two doubles and a walk. Until Byron Buxton (knee) returns from the injured list, Castro should see most of his starts in the outfield, creating an opening for Miranda to carve out at least semi-regular playing time at third base.

    • 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 11 minutes ago
       
    • Back on bench Sunday
      Alexander is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

      Advice: The right-handed-hitting Alexander started each of the past three games, but he appears to be viewed as a short-side platoon player, with two of those three starts coming against left-handed pitching. He'll give way to Kevin Newman at shortstop Sunday while the Orioles bring right-hander Dean Kremer to the hill. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
       
    • Starts in left field
      Jankowski started in left field and went 0-for-4 in Saturday's 8-3 loss to Colorado.

      Advice: Jankowski stepped into the lineup for Evan Carter, who developed lower-back stiffness Saturday. Carter, who has been the primary left fielder against right-handers, joined Wyatt Langford (hamstring, IL) as unavailable outfielders. If Carter's absence is extended, Jankowski and Ezequiel Duran are in the mix for starts in left field. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
       
    • Another three-hit performance
      Pillar went 3-for-4 with a triple, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Saturday's win over Kansas City.

      Advice: Pillar led off the bottom of the second with a triple before coming around to score on a three-run shot from Jo Adell as the Angels took a 3-1 lead. The recently-acquired outfielder would also add two RBI singles on the night in addition to swiping his third bag of the season. Pillar has now tallied three hits in two of his last four contests, posting nine RBI and five runs scored over that stretch. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
       
    • Two hits, two stolen bases in loss
      Witt went 2-for-4 with an RBI, a run scored and two stolen bases in Saturday's loss to the Angels.

      Advice: Witt scored Kansas City's first run of the game after reaching on an infield single and stealing second, coming home on a double from Salvador Perez. The star shortstop would later drive in a run with another single in the sixth before stealing his second base of the contest, though he was then thrown out trying to steal third. Witt has now recorded multiple hits in five of 10 games this month. He's batting .314 over that stretch with four RBI, 12 runs and six stolen bases. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
