    • Sitting again Sunday
      Kelly is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the White Sox.

      Advice: Kelly will sit for a second straight game after hitting a two-home run in the series opener Friday. Jake Rogers will once again start at catcher and bat ninth against White Sox right-hander Jonathan Cannon. Rotowire.com Today, 9:31 am
       
    • Steps in as top backstop
      Pages will start at catcher and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Giants.

      Advice: Pages had already worked his way into a regular role behind plate versus left-handed pitching while Ivan Herrera served as St. Louis' designated hitter in those matchups, but Pages will stick in the lineup against a right-hander (Logan Webb) on Sunday for the fourth straight contest. With Herrera going on the injured list Saturday with lower-back tightness, Pages will serve as the Cardinals' No. 1 backstop, but his reign atop the depth chart could be short-lived. Willson Contreras (forearm) made his fifth rehab appearance Saturday with Triple-A Memphis and could be ready to return from the 10-day IL and reclaim the No. 1 role for St. Louis as soon as Monday versus Atlanta.

    • Getting Sunday off
      Rortvedt is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Even with the Pirates sending right-hander Paul Skenes to the mound Sunday, the lefty-hitting Rortvedt will begin the game in the dugout after starting in the first two games of the series, going 4-for-8 with one home run, four RBI and two runs scored. Alex Jackson will start at catcher and bat ninth for the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 9:11 am
       
    • Tyler Stephenson back in lineup Sunday vs. Red Sox
      Tyler Stephenson is back in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Stephenson is back handling the catching duties on Sunday afternoon following a three-game absence due to an undisclosed matter. Rotoworld Today, 9:00 am
       
    • Knocks homer Saturday
      Higashioka went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win against the Brewers.

      Advice: Higashioka delivered what turned out to be a key long ball in the seventh inning, belting a two-run blast to left field. It was the catcher's fifth homer through 12 games in June after he went deep just once over 17 contests prior to the start of the month. The hot stretch has helped Higashioka earn more playing time, and he's slated to take over primary catching duties for San Diego for at least 10 days with Luis Campusano (thumb) landing on the injured list Saturday.

    • Pushed off 40-man
      The Reds designated Wynns for assignment Sunday.

      Advice: Just two days after having his contract selected from Louisville, Wynns will once again lose his spot on the 40-man roster without appearing in a game for the Reds. With a .726 OPS in the minors, it's possible he receives some attention on the waiver wire, but his .597 career OPS in the majors makes it likely he gets sent outright to Louisville. Livan Soto was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 8:13 am
       
    • Reds designate Austin Wynns for assignment
      Reds designated C Austin Wynns for assignment.

      Advice: Wynns was up for a couple days with Cincinnati as emergency catching depth with Tyler Stephenson not playing. The 33-year-old backstop will likely pass through waivers unclaimed and return to Triple-A Louisville as extra organizational depth. Rotoworld Today, 8:06 am
       
    • Back in lineup Sunday
      Stephenson (undisclosed) is starting at catcher and batting fifth Sunday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Stephenson missed two consecutive starts due to an undisclosed injury, though he was able to appear as a pinch hitter during Saturday's loss. He'll now return to his usual place behind the dish and look to turn things around after recording just two hits in his last 10 games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:44 am
       
    • Sitting Sunday
      Barnhart is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

      Advice: Barnhart came in for Gabriel Moreno (thumb) in the bottom of the sixth inning in Friday's contest. Barnhart started at catcher Saturday, going 1-for-3 with an RBI in a 12-1 loss, and he will serve as Arizona's primary catcher with Moreno on the injured list. Jose Herrera will start behind home plate Sunday and bat ninth against Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez. Rotowire.com Today, 7:01 am
