  • Erik Miller starting for Giants on Sunday
    Erik Miller will start Sunday’s game against the Angels.

    Advice: It will be bullpen games for both the Angels and Giants. Miller is getting the ball with Kyle Harrison (ankle) heading to the injured list. He likely won’t work deep enough to qualify for a win, so there’s no reason to consider him as a streaming option. Rotoworld Today, 9:46 am

  • Sitting in second straight game
    Walls is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: The switch-hitting Walls is sitting against a right-handed starting pitcher (Hurston Waldrep) for the second day in a row, perhaps hinting that he hasn't quite locked down an everyday role at shortstop since his return from the injured list June 7. Walls had started in six of the Rays' ensuing eight games following his reinstatement, but he went just 2-for-18 with three walks against 10 strikeouts during that stretch. Jose Caballero (calf) and Amed Rosario look to be Walls' main threats for playing time at shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 9:35 am

  • Day off Saturday
    Hays is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Hays will get a breather after he went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in the team's 5-3 loss in extras in the series opener Friday. Colton Cowser will slide over to left field while Cedric Mullins enters the lineup in center field and bats seventh versus Philadelphia. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:41 am
     
  • Taking seat Saturday
    Hurtubise is absent from the lineup for Saturday's game in Milwaukee.

    Advice: The left-handed hitter had started the last three contests and each of the past six games versus right-handed pitching. Hurtubise will begin this one on the bench, though, as the Brewers go with a lefty opener and righty bulk reliever. Will Benson is in left field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:18 am
     
  • Sitting Saturday

  • Reds recall OF Nick Martini from Triple-A
    Reds recalled OF Nick Martini from Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Martini has gone back and forth between Louisville and Cincinnati this season. In his time with the Reds, he’s hit .200 with four home runs in 110 at-bats. Martini will once again have a bench role with the Reds. Rotoworld Friday, 11:10 am
     
  • Back in majors
    The Reds recalled Martini from Triple-A Louisville on Friday.

    Advice: He's taking the roster spot vacated by Blake Dunn, who was optioned to Louisville on Thursday. Martini has slashed .200/.242/.355 with four home runs in 38 games with the big club this season. He could see the occasional start against righties but mostly figures to operate as a bench bat.

  • Heads to Round Rock
    Sborz (shoulder) headed to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday to begin throwing live batting practice, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: If all goes well in live BP sessions, Sborz will embark on a rehab assignment shortly after. This is Sborz's second stint on the injured list this season due to a right rotator cuff strain. Rotowire.com Friday, 5:35 am
