    • Orioles set to promote Heston Kjerstad on Monday
      Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports that the Orioles plan to promote Heston Kjerstad from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday.

      Advice: The 25-year-old slugger doesn’t have anything left to prove at the Triple-A level where he’s slashing .301/.390/.601 with 16 homers, 58 RBI and a pair of stolen bases in 55 games. It’s unclear how he’ll be utilized in Baltimore though. He’s likely to fill the role that Kyle Stowers had before his demotion earlier this week, getting nothing more than the occasional start against right-handed pitching. Without the promise of everyday at-bats, it’s difficult to get excited about his prospects from a fantasy perspective. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:57 pm
       
    • Expected to be called up Monday
      Kjerstad is set to be called up to the major-league roster Monday, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

      Advice: Kjerstad spent a little over two weeks with the Orioles in late April and early May, going 2-for-14 with two walks and six strikeouts while appearing in seven contests. Since being sent down to Triple- Norfolk on May 13, the 25-year-old produced a .268 average with six home runs, 28 RBI, 23 runs and a stolen base over 34 contests, and he'll look to carry his momentum into his second stint with Baltimore in 2024. It's unclear who Kjerstad will replace on the major-league roster, but with Colton Cowser struggling to a .170 average with four extra-base hits over 53 at-bats in June, it's possible that Cowser is the odd man out.

    • Trent Grisham has two hits in loss
      Trent Grisham went 2-for-3 with a run scored in a loss to the Braves on Sunday.

      Advice: Grisham got the start in center field and came away with two singles on the day. He’s still hitting just .136/.275/.318 on the season; however, with Giancarlo Stanton on the IL, Grisham figures to get the majority of the starts against right-handed pitching with Aaron Judge sliding into the DH spot. Managers in deeper formats could roster Grisham in the short-term given his left-handed power in Yankee Stadium and the strong lineup around him. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:33 pm
       
    • Back with big club
      Oakland selected Brooks' contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday.

      Advice: After designating Brooks for assignment June 2, the Athletics outrighted him to Las Vegas two days later upon clearing waivers. He's gone 1-1 in his two starts since returning to Triple-A, allowing five runs (three earned) on 11 hits and one walk while striking out eight over nine innings. Though he'll rejoin the big club ahead of Sunday's game against the Twins, Brooks will likely be relegated to a mop-up role out of the bullpen after turning in a 5.82 ERA in his four starts with Oakland earlier this season.

    • A’s bring up Aaron Brooks on Sunday from Triple-A
      Athletics selected the contract of RHP Aaron Brooks from Triple-A Las Vegas.

      Advice: Brooks gets the call to fortify Oakland’s bullpen ahead of Sunday’s game against the Twins with Dany Jiménez heading to the injured list. The 34-year-old journeyman righty made four starts earlier this season for the Athletics before being jettisoned from the club’s 40-man roster. He’s likely to operate as a swingman or multi-inning low-leverage option. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:48 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 Sunday, 9:00 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 Sunday, 7:44 am
       
    • Starting Sunday
      Grisham will start in center field and bat ninth in Sunday's series finale against Atlanta.

      Advice: Grisham will enter the lineup as a replacement for Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring), who was placed on the injured list with a left hamstring strain. Aaron Judge will occupy Stanton's typical spot at designated hitter, while Grisham claims Judge's vacated spot in the outfield. Though the lefty-hitting Grisham is starting Sunday against Atlanta southpaw Max Fried, the Yankees could look to deploy Grisham primarily against right-handed pitching during Stanton's absence. While seeing sporadic playing time this season, Grisham enters Sunday's contest with a .113/.263/.306 slash line across 76 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:40 am
       
    • Blanks KC for third win
      Gray (3-3) picked up the win Saturday, allowing two hits over six scoreless innings in a 6-0 victory over the Royals. He struck out three.

      Advice: Both hits were third-inning singles, but Gray shut down the rally and proceeded to retire the final 10 batters he faced before exiting. The right-hander tossed 72 pitches (51 strikes) en route to his sixth quality start of the season, but Saturday marked the first time he'd lasted at least six innings in a start since May 15. Gray will take a 3.03 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 68:19 K:BB through 71.1 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Baltimore. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:24 am
