    • Matt McLain (shoulder) close to resuming swinging
      Reds manager David Bell told reporters Sunday that Matt McLain (shoulder) is close to resuming swinging a bat.

      Advice: The Reds are in the process of mapping out a definitive timeline for McLain to return at some point in August as he works his way back from late-March surgery on his left shoulder. The 24-year-old middle infielder was excellent last year in his debut for Cincinnati and figures to make a significant impact for fantasy managers down the home stretch, if he can avoid any setbacks. He’s worthy of a speculative stash in deeper mixed leagues at this point, even if he’s a couple months away from returning. Rotoworld Today, 9:35 am

    • Bo Bichette (calf) targeting Tuesday return
      Bo Bichette (calf) will go through a full pregame routine on Monday.

      Advice: Bichette appears likely to return when first eligible on Tuesday, assuming he gets through Monday’s batting practice, fielding drills and baserunning exercises without any sort of setback. The 26-year-old shortstop landed on the injured list earlier this week with a mild right calf strain. Rotoworld Today, 9:32 am

    • Sitting Sunday
      Lowe (toe) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Lowe will sit for the series finale Sunday after sustaining a broken pinky toe on a hit-by-pitch in the first inning of Saturday's 4-3 loss to Pittsburgh. Lowe isn't expected to be placed on the IL and will be available to pinch hit Sunday, per Topkin. Richie Palacios will start at second base Sunday and bat fifth against Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes. Rotowire.com Today, 9:18 am

    • Sitting Sunday
      Gonzales isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

      Advice: Gonzales will get a chance to regroup Sunday after going 1-for-17 with five strikeouts over his last five games. In his place, Jared Triolo will get the nod at the keystone and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:58 am

    • Brandon Lowe sitting out Sunday with fractured toe
      Brandon Lowe is not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Pirates.

      Advice: The positive news here is that Lowe hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet after suffering a fractured right pinky toe during Saturday’s game when he was hit by a pitch. The 29-year-old second baseman is day-to-day for now. There should be some clarity on his status in a couple days, if not sooner, depending on whether he’s feeling well enough to return.

    • Amed Rosario available off the bench on Sunday
      Amed Rosario (face) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Pirates.

      Advice: Rosario told reporters he’s available off the bench, if needed. He also added that he isn’t experiencing any pain or related soreness, after being hit in the face by a pitch during Saturday’s game that resulted in a cut that required stitches. It sounds like he’s going to be ready to return in a couple days, if not sooner. Rotoworld Today, 8:44 am

    • Laces pair of doubles Saturday
      Moore went 2-for-5 with an RBI double, another two-bagger and two runs in a win over the Marlins on Saturday.

      Advice: The Mariners gave Julio Rodriguez the night off, but Moore had no trouble helping make up for the slugger's absence by authoring one of four multi-hit efforts for Seattle. The pair of extra-base hits were right on brand for Moore, who's hit a double or better on 24 of his 42 knocks this season to put him just one XBH away from tying a career-best figure in that category.

    • Multi-hit effort in big win
      Rojas went 2-for-5 with a run in a win over the Marlins on Saturday.

      Advice: Rojas got in on the fun of the Mariners' 15-hit barrage with his third multi-hit effort in the last seven games. The 29-year-old's bat has been running very hot over the entirety of that span, as evidenced by his .348 average and 1.009 OPS across 25 plate appearances. Rojas has been one of the steadier hitters in an inconsistent Seattle attack, offering a solid balance of pop (18 extra-base hits), speed (two triples, six stolen bases) and plate discipline (18.2 percent strikeout rate) across 67 games.

    • Smacks second homer
      Lux went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Saturday's win over the Angels.

      Advice: Lux drew nine pitches in his first at-bat before clobbering a solo shot off Zach Plesac to put the Dodgers on the board. The second baseman would also add an RBI single in the fifth, giving him just his third multi-hit performance this month. Lux has now hit safely in three of his last four contests, posting three RBI and three runs over that brief stretch. Saturday also marked the first time in his last six games that he didn't strike out. Rotowire.com Today, 8:25 am
