  • Bryson Stott sits against southpaw on Friday night
    Bryson Stott is not in the Phillies’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: With left-hander Jordan Montgomery toeing the slab for the Diamondbacks, the Phillies will use it as an opportunity to give Stott a breather. Fellow left-handed hitters Brandon Marsh, David Dahl and Garrett Stubbs also find themselves on the pine for the start of this one. Edmundo Sosa will start in Stott’s place at second base and will bat sixth for the Phillies on Friday night. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago

  • Masyn Winn returns from illness
    Masyn Winn is back in the Cardinals lineup Wednesday after missing Tuesday’s game due to illness.

    Advice: Winn is leading off today, and Brandon Crawford has returned to the bench. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:38 am
     
  • Returning from illness
    Winn (illness) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game in Miami, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Winn missed out on his first start since June 5 in the Cardinals' 9-8 extra-inning loss Tuesday, when he was scratched from the lineup shortly before opening pitch due to an illness. Fortunately for Winn, the one day of rest appears to be all he needed to shake off the ailment. The 22-year-old will take back his usual spot atop the St. Louis lineup in the series finale with the Marlins. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:11 am
     
  • Scratched with illness
    Winn was scratched from the Cardinals' lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus Miami due to illness, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: Winn was originally in line to start at shortstop Tuesday, but his absence will move Brandon Crawford from third base to short instead. Brendan Donovan will cover the hot corner as a result, moving Alec Burleson into left field while Dylan Carlson steps in to man right field, batting eighth. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:46 pm
     
  • Masyn Winn scratched on Tuesday due to illness
    Masyn Winn has been scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Marlins due to illness.

    Advice: Winn delivered the go-ahead homer for St. Louis in the 12th inning of Monday’s extra-inning marathon against the Marlins and has occupied the leadoff spot in six straight contests. It’ll be Brendan Donovan taking over atop the lineup and Brandon Crawford covering at shortstop. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:44 pm
     
  • Smacks go-ahead homer in extras
    Winn went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run and a pair of runs scored in Monday's 7-6 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Winn took A.J. Puk deep in the top of the 12th to give St. Louis a two-run lead, which was the difference in the game as Miami tallied a run in the bottom of the frame. The shortstop has settled in nicely atop the Cardinals lineup, where he's batted in his past 11 appearances and 18 times overall this season. The counting stats are lagging a tad with only four home runs, 25 runs and 26 RBI through 65 contests, but the 22-year-old's .295/.339/.429 slash line is impressive.

  • Masyn Winn slugs go-ahead homer against Marlins
    Masyn Winn clobbered a go-ahead two-run homer in the 12th inning on Monday, lifting the Cardinals to a 7-6 extra-inning victory over the Marlins.

    Advice: Leading off for the sixth straight game, Winn came through with a clutch extra-inning blast off Marlins reliever A.J. Puk to put the Cardinals ahead for good in a back-and-forth affair at loanDepot park. It was his fourth long ball of the season and first time he’s left the yard since June 4.

  • Masyn Winn leading off for 6th straight game
    Masyn Winn is leading off for the Cardinals against the Pirates on Wednesday.

    Advice: Winn has been leading off against left-handers for a while now, and the Cardinals are facing left-hander Bailey Falter. However, this is now the sixth game in a row that Winn is leading off, including three against right-handed pitching. The rookie is hitting .305 on the season with eight steals, so if he’s not hitting leadoff for the Cardinals, that should give him enough run production to really boost his fantasy value. He should be added in more formats. Rotoworld Wednesday, 12:19 pm
