  • Homers, doubles in game-winner
    Miranda went 2-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Astros.

    Advice: Miranda collected his 10th multi-hit game of the season, homering in the sixth to knot the game at three, then adding a go-ahead RBI double in the eighth that served as the game-winner for the Twins. After struggling to a .211 average in 40 games last season, Miranda has fared much better this season, posting a slash line of .280/.311/.469 with six homers, nine doubles, 20 RBI and 19 runs through 151 plate appearances.

  • Not in Sunday's lineup
    Sosa is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Sosa started the past 10 games at shortstop and posted a 1.026 OPS during that span, but he'll take a seat for Sunday's contest. Bryson Stott will shift to shortstop while Kody Clemens receives a start at the keystone. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:22 pm
     
  • Jose Miranda homers, knocks in two to lead Twins
    Jose Miranda had a solo homer and an RBI double in helping the Twins edge the Astros 4-3 on Sunday.

    Advice: If there was any chance of Miranda being the countermove for Royce Lewis on Tuesday, it vanished today. He was probably sticking around anyway, even though Lewis is going to supplant him at third base. That’ll turn Miranda into more of a DH and first baseman. Miranda is batting an impressive .280/.311/.469 in 151 plate appearances, though Statcast thinks he’s been pretty fortunate to sport that line. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:21 pm
     
  • Ildemaro Vargas with two hits, stolen base
    Ildemaro Vargas went 2-for-3 scoring a run, driving one in, and stealing a base Sunday in a win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Vargas drew his second straight spot-start after CJ Abrams tweaked his shoulder on Friday and had a great all-around game. It’s unlikely his role grows unless Abrams needs a spell on the IL. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:09 pm

  • Brendan Donovan (neck) remains out vs. Phillies
    Brendan Donovan is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Donovan will miss another game after being scratched from Friday’s lineup with stiffness in his neck. Masyn Winn remains in the leadoff spot, and Alec Burleson gets the start in left field. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:56 pm

  • Starting, but playing time falling
    Goodman will start in left field and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Goodman concluded last weekend's series versus the Phillies by making his sixth start in eight games, but his playing time has fallen off over the past week. Before drawing back into the lineup Sunday, Goodman started just once in the Rockies' preceding five games. With Kris Bryant settling in primarily at designated hitter and Sean Bouchard and Charlie Blackmon typically serving as Colorado's starters in the corner outfield, Goodman has found himself as the odd man out of late.

  • Sitting again Sunday
    Donovan (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: The 27-year-old will be withheld from the starting nine for the third consecutive game due to neck stiffness. According to John Denton of MLB.com, Donovan is expected to take swings in the batting cage Sunday and could be back in action Monday against the Astros. Alec Burleson will start in left field for the series finale while Matt Carpenter receives a turn at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:50 pm

  • Picking up rare start Sunday
    Trejo will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Trejo will crack the starting nine for the first time since May 24 while everyday second baseman Brendan Rodgers gets a day out of the field and serves as the Rockies' designated hitter. Though he's been on the active roster since Opening Day, Trejo has made just 12 starts in 58 games and has logged only 34 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:48 pm

  • Taking seat against lefty
    Brooks is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Though he'll take a seat while southpaw Nestor Cortes takes the hill for the Yankees, the lefty-hitting Brooks appears to have settled in as the strong side option of a platoon at first base with the right-handed-hitting Wilmer Flores. Brooks has started in the Giants' last three matchups against righties and has gone 1-for-6 with two walks and two runs in four games overall since he was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday following LaMonte Wade's (hamstring) placement on the injured list.
