  • Luis Robert Jr. not in Sunday’s lineup vs. Tigers
    Luis Robert Jr. is not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the division-rival Tigers.

    Advice: It appears to be a routine off day for Robert, who has made nine consecutive starts for Chicago dating back to June 13. The 26-year-old is batting .180 (11-for-61) with five homers and two steals in 17 games since returning earlier this month from a lengthy stint on the injured list. Rotoworld Today, 9:05 am
     
  • Daulton Varsho out Sunday with back tightness
    Daulton Varsho (back) is absent from the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Guardians.

    Advice: As expected, Varsho will sit out Sunday’s series finale due to lower back tightness. The 27-year-old outfielder has been playing through the issue recently and the team doesn’t want to take any chances that it gets worse. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

  • Not starting Sunday
    Joe isn't in the Pirates' lineup Sunday against Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Joe will sit out a second consecutive game Sunday following an 0-for-13 stretch spanning his last four contests, prompting another start in right field for Edward Olivares. Rotowire.com Today, 9:00 am

  • Rob Refsnyder returns to lineup Sunday vs. Reds
    Rob Refsnyder (knee) is back in the lineup for Sunday’s matchup against the Reds.

    Advice: Refsnyder is back in Boston’s lineup to face lefty Nick Lodolo after missing a couple games earlier this week due to right knee soreness. Rotoworld Today, 8:57 am
     
  • Amed Rosario available off the bench on Sunday
    Amed Rosario (face) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Rosario told reporters he’s available off the bench, if needed. He also added that he isn’t experiencing any pain or related soreness, after being hit in the face by a pitch during Saturday’s game that resulted in a cut that required stitches. It sounds like he’s going to be ready to return in a couple days, if not sooner. Rotoworld Today, 8:44 am

  • Laces pair of doubles Saturday
    Moore went 2-for-5 with an RBI double, another two-bagger and two runs in a win over the Marlins on Saturday.

    Advice: The Mariners gave Julio Rodriguez the night off, but Moore had no trouble helping make up for the slugger's absence by authoring one of four multi-hit efforts for Seattle. The pair of extra-base hits were right on brand for Moore, who's hit a double or better on 24 of his 42 knocks this season to put him just one XBH away from tying a career-best figure in that category.

  • Aaron Judge at designated hitter Sunday vs. Braves
    Aaron Judge is at designated hitter for Sunday’s series finale against the Braves.

    Advice: Judge will likely spend additional time at designated hitter moving forward in the wake of Giancarlo Stanton’s unfortunate hamstring injury. The 32-year-old generational talent slugged his major league-leading 28th home run of the season during Saturday night’s win at Yankee Stadium and is in the midst of one of the best extended stretches of his career. It can only be a positive thing for his immediate health for him to get a break from playing center field everyday, at least for a few weeks leading into next month’s All-Star break.

  • Michael Siani sits out Sunday with bruised ribs
    Michael Siani (ribs) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Giants.

    Advice: Siani wasn’t placed on the injured list on Sunday after X-rays came back negative on his ribs following his early exit from Saturday’s contest against the Giants. So, we’ll assume he’s day-to-day for now. The 24-year-old isn’t an option for fantasy managers, but he’s an excellent defensive center fielder, so it would be a big hit for the Cardinals’ pitching staff if he were to miss a significant chunk of the year.

  • Back as DH for Sunday
    Refsnyder (knee) is serving as the designated hitter and batting second in Sunday's series finale against the Reds.

    Advice: Right knee soreness kept Refsnyder out of the starting lineup for each of the last three games. He did hit an RBI single in the top of the eighth inning of Saturday's 4-3 win over Cincinnati after pinch hitting for Wilyer Abreu, and Refsnyder stayed in right field for the last two frames. For the month of June, Refsnyder is slashing .308/.383/.385 with four RBI over 52 at-bats. Rotowire.com Today, 8:03 am
