  • Back in lineup versus lefty
    Bouchard will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Pirates, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Bouchard is back in the lineup after he was on the bench for each of the previous three games. The 27-year-old looked as though he might have been headed for a full-time role in right field once Kris Bryant (back) was placed on the injured list April 17, but Bouchard's opportunity seems to have fallen by the wayside while he's posted a .619 OPS through 33 plate appearances in the big leagues this season. While he's in starting nine Sunday against Pirates southpaw Bailey Falter, the right-handed-hitting Bouchard could end up occupying the short side of a platoon in right field with the lefty-hitting Jake Cave until Bryant returns.

  • Taking seat Sunday
    Renfroe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Renfroe started the first two games of the series and will head to the bench for the finale after he went 2-for-7 with a homer, a walk and three RBI. Adam Frazier will start in right field and bat eighth Sunday. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched with illness
    Perez was scratched from the lineup Sunday against the Yankees due to an illness, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Perez was penciled in for his seventh consecutive start but will instead hit the bench due to an illness. He should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Cleveland. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago

  • Wenceel Pérez scratched due to illness
    Wenceel Pérez has been scratched from the starting lineup Sunday due to illness.

    Advice: Pérez was scheduled to play Sunday against the Yankees, but he’ll instead retreat to the bench. Colt Keith is reinserted into the starting lineup and will play second base against New York. Pérez should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago

  • Back in bench role
    Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Taylor is back on the bench for the third time in four games after he recently wrapped up a stretch of five consecutive starts in the Mets outfield. All of Brandon Nimmo, Starling Marte and Harrison Bader are healthy and available, so Taylor will remain limited to a fourth-outfielder role for the foreseeable future. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago

  • On bench Sunday
    McCutchen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: After starting both of the past two games while going 1-for-8 at the dish, McCutchen appears to getting a breather for Sunday's afternoon contest. With McCutchen on the bench, Edward Olivares will enter the lineup as the Pirates' designated hitter. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
     
  • Mitch Haniger sitting Sunday vs. Astros
    Mitch Haniger is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Astros.

    Advice: Haniger will get a day of rest for the series finale for the Mariners with Hunter Brown on the bump for the Astros. Luke Raley will hit seventh and handle right field on Haniger’s day off. Rotoworld Today, 8:38 am
     
  • Reinstated, batting fifth Sunday
    Carlson (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting in center field and batting fifth Sunday against the White Sox.

    Advice: The 25-year-old missed the first five weeks of the season due to a sprained left shoulder, but he's back with the Cardinals after going 3-for-11 with three walks and a solo homer during a four-game rehab stint with Triple-A Memphis. Carlson should step in as St. Louis' primary center fielder, at least until Tommy Edman (wrist) makes his own return from the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 8:26 am

  • Cardinals activate Dylan Carlson off injured list
    Cardinals activated OF Dylan Carlson off the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Carlson is off the injured list, and the 25-year-old is hitting fifth while playing center field in his debut. The outfielder missed just around a month after injuring his shoulder in a crash during spring training. Carlson helps the Cardinals’ depth, but the former top prospect hasn’t had much offensive success at the highest level just yet. Fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach.
