    • Taking seat Monday
      Springer is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Springer made his return from a two-game absence due to an illness in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins, starting in right field and playing all nine innings while going 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. The Blue Jays haven't indicated that Springer is still feeling under the weather, so his absence Monday is likely just a pre-planned maintenance day as he works his way back to full strength following the bout with the illness. Cavan Biggio will replace Springer in right field. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
       
    • Struggling in May
      Reynolds went 0-for-5 with a strikeout Sunday against the Cubs.

      Advice: Reynolds has struggled in his last 10 games, collecting only seven hits across 38 at-bats with no home runs and no RBI. He remains locked in as the No. 2 hitter in the Pirates' lineup and has a .267 xBA and .361 xWOBA, so a turnaround in production should be in order. Rotowire.com Today, 7:53 am
       
    • Impactful game in win
      Merrill went 3-for-4 with two steals and a run scored in Sunday's 4-0 win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Merrill tallied at least three hits in a game for the fourth time this season and it was his 11th multi-hit game of his rookie campaign. Merrill hadn't swiped a bag since April 16 but managed to steal and eventually score in the fourth before taking another base in the eighth. He's settled in nicely thus far, slashing .282/.331/.374 with two homers, 16 RBI, 17 runs, six steals and a 10:23 BB:K in 143 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:00 pm
       
    • TJ Friedl diagnosed with left thumb contusion
      The Reds announced that TJ Friedl was diagnosed with a left thumb contusion after being hit by a pitch during Sunday’s game against the Giants.

      Advice: Fortunately, X-rays came back negative on Friedl’s thumb after he was pulled from Sunday’s game. That wasn’t before he swiped a base and scored a run in the top half of the first inning though. He may wind up missing a game or two due to pain and swelling, but it sounds like Friedl should be able to avoid a return trip to the injured list. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:51 pm
       
    • Dealing with thumb injury
      Friedl suffered a right thumb contusion in Sunday's matchup with the Giants, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

      Advice: Friedl was hit by a pitch in the top of the first inning and exited the contest after not feeling well in the batting cages. The outfielder appears to have avoided any fractures in his thumb, so he can be considered day-to-day for the time being. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:47 pm
       
    • TJ Friedl leaves game with thumb injury Sunday
      TJ Friedl was removed from Sunday’s contest against the Giants after being hit by a pitch on his thumb.

      Advice: Friedl remained in the game initially — even swiping second base and coming around to score a run — but he tested out his thumb in the cages to see if he would be able to swing a bat and he couldn’t do it. Presumably he’s heading for X-rays to see if there’s any structural damage. Stay tuned. It would be a big blow for the Reds to lose the dynamic 28-year-old outfielder again after just getting him back this week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:05 pm
       
    • Leaves game after HBP
      Friedl left Sunday's game against the Giants after being hit by a pitch on the left thumb area in the top of the first inning, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

      Advice: Friedl spent a fair amount of time with Cincinnati's trainer, and while he stayed in the game initially, he didn't feel good in the cages between innings, per the Reds' television broadcast. The 28-year-old had just returned from a right wrist injury suffered on a diving attempt during spring training, so it's not the same hand, but regardless he will likely need X-rays.

    • George Springer goes 0-for-4 in loss to Twins
      George Springer went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Twins on Sunday.

      Advice: The Blue Jays still haven’t wavered on Springer in the leadoff spot, but maybe it’s time. He’s down to .200/.273/.290, and while Statcast thinks he’s been awfully unlucky, he’s still trending in the wrong direction in recent weeks. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:30 pm
       
    • On bench for second straight game
      Crow-Armstrong is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

      Advice: Crow-Armstrong is on the bench for the second straight game, and his time as an everyday player in the Cubs outfield appears to be over. When Cody Bellinger returned from the injured list Tuesday, Crow-Armstrong retained a starting role for each of the ensuing three games while Bellinger served as a designated hitter, but the return of Seiya Suzuki from the injured list earlier this weekend no longer leaves a spot in the outfield for Crow-Armstrong. If his playing time remains scarce over the next few games, Crow-Armstrong could be headed back to Triple-A Iowa before long. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:41 am
