  • Idle against lefty
    Outman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Outman will retreat to the bench Wednesday with southpaw Ryan Weathers taking the hill for Miami. He'll be replaced in center field by Andy Pages. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago

  • Homers twice
    Pillar went 3-for-5 with two home runs and six RBI during Tuesday's 9-0 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Pillar made it a 3-0 ballgame with his three-run home run in the fourth inning, and his solo shot in the seventh gave the Angels a convincing 7-0 lead. The 35-year-old now sports an inflated .866 OPS through 43 plate appearances this season, but he shouldn't be relied on as a consistent source of production in fantasy. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago

  • Getting Wednesday off
    Chourio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Chourio is hitting .357 with one stolen base over his first five games of May, but he's still slashing just .193/.233/.263 overall since April 16 and has seen his job security slip a bit as a result. The rookie will find himself on the bench Wednesday for the third time in seven games. Rotowire.com Today, 10:01 am
     
  • Launches first homer of 2024
    Kelenic went 2-for-2 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: His third-inning shot off Kutter Crawford got Atlanta on the board, and gave Kelenic his first long ball of the season. Despite the lack of power, the 24-year-old has generally been hitting well in his strong-side platoon role, slashing .280/.333/.373 in 81 plate appearances. Only one of those PAs has come against a southpaw, but with Adam Duvall scuffling so far (.220/.310/.380 in 58 PAs), Kelenic might get more opportunities against same-handed pitching if he heats up.

  • Heading to bench Wednesday
    Vierling is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: After starting each of the last four games, Vierling will move to the bench to open up third base for Zach McKinstry. Vierling owns an .879 OPS over his last 10 games and should hang on to a near-everyday role at the hot corner until Gio Urshela (hamstring) returns from the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 7:55 am

  • Slugs sixth homer
    Arozarena went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: The 29-year-old outfielder went yard for the third time in the last five games, and while he has only four hits over that stretch, all four have gone for extra bases. Arozarena still isn't quite locked in at the plate -- he hasn't put together a multi-hit performance since March 30 -- but he appears close to breaking out. A hot streak is long overdue, as he sports a .152/.253/.311 slash line through 36 contests with six homers, six steals, 13 RBI and 16 runs. Rotowire.com Today, 7:52 am
     
  • Heading to bench Wednesday
    Taylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Taylor will receive a breather for the day game after he went 0-for-6 with three strikeouts while making a pair of starts in center field over the first two games of the series. Jack Suwinski will replace Taylor as the Pirates' starting center fielder Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 7:32 am
     
  • Sitting out Wednesday
    Freeman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Freeman started in each of the Guardians' last five games but will begin Wednesday's tilt on the bench. Will Brennan will fill in for Freeman in center field. Rotowire.com Today, 7:25 am

  • Exits lineup versus lefty
    Moniak is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Pirates, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: Moniak's stretch of seven consecutive starts will come to an end Wednesday, as the lefty-hitting outfielder will cede center field to the righty-hitting Kevin Pillar while southpaw Martin Perez takes the hill for the Pirates. Though he may continue to occasionally hit the bench against left-handed pitching, Moniak should have a fairly clear path to regular playing time versus righties while Mike Trout (knee) is on the injured list.
