  • Out of lineup again
    Renfroe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: For the third time in four games, the right-handed-hitting Renfroe will take a seat against a right-handed starting pitcher. Though he's posted a .797 OPS over his last 14 games, Renfroe looks to be moving into more of a part-time role in right field. Adam Frazier will get the nod in right field Sunday.

  • Taking seat Sunday
    Montero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Montero started the previous six games but will head to the bench Sunday after batting .167 during that span. Kris Bryant will shift to first base while Brendan Rodgers serves as the designated hitter and Alan Trejo starts at second base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:05 am
     
  • Nolan Schanuel (thumb) remains out Sunday vs. M’s
    Nolan Schanuel (thumb) is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

    Advice: Schanuel will miss another game while dealing with left thumb soreness. Willie Calhoun is getting the start at first base and hitting cleanup against Luis Castillo. Schanuel should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:52 am
     
  • Getting fourth straight start
    Duran will start at first base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Duran will stay in the lineup for a fourth straight game, with two starts coming against left-handed pitchers and two coming versus righties. While Evan Carter (back) is on the injured list, Duran looks to be a priority for the final spot in the Texas lineup over the likes of Robbie Grossman and Travis Jankowski.

  • Garners fifth straight start
    Arias will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Arias will stick in the lineup for a fifth consecutive game, this time filling in at third base while Jose Ramirez gets a day out of the field and serves as Cleveland's designated hitter. In addition to the hot corner, Arias picked up starts at second base, shortstop and in right field over the previous four games. The Guardians faced left-handed starters in three of those contests, and though Arias should be a fixture in the lineup versus lefties, he'll likely serve as more of a part-time player when Cleveland opposes righties.

  • Hitting bench Sunday
    Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Manzardo was on the bench for two of the past three games while the Guardians faced three consecutive lefty starters, but his absence Sunday comes with right-hander Jake Irvin on the hill for Washington. Jose Ramirez will get a day out of the field and will serve as the Guardians' designated hitter, but even when Ramirez plays third base against right-handed pitching, Manzardo's opportunities could become more limited. The hot-hitting David Fry -- who is out of the lineup Sunday -- has made a case to overtake Manzardo as the Guardians' preferred DH against both righties and lefties.

  • Reclaiming playing time at first base
    Soderstrom will start at first base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Soderstrom has now started in three of Oakland's last four matchups against right-handed pitchers and appears to have displaced J.D. Davis as the Athletics' preferred option at the position. Soderstrom is still likely to occupy the strong side of a platoon at first base with either Davis or Aledmys Diaz.

  • Getting rest versus lefty
    Aranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Aranda will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Richie Palacios, Ben Rortvedt and Brandon Lowe as the Rays roll with a full right-handed-hitting lineup versus Orioles southpaw Cole Irvin. Harold Ramirez will replace Aranda as the Rays' designated hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:34 am
     
  • Losing out to Jose Abreu
    Singleton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: For the third time in four matchups with a right-handed starting pitcher (Simeon Woods Richardson), the lefty-hitting Singleton finds himself on the bench. Though he initially looked poised to hold down a strong-side platoon role at first base when the right-handed-hitting Jose Abreu was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Singleton appears to have since moved into a pure reserve role.
