  • 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
     
  • 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

  • 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

  • Moving into reserve role
    Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Since DJ LeMahieu returned from the injured list Tuesday to make his season debut, Cabrera has unsurprisingly been the odd man out of the New York lineup more often than not. He's made just two starts in the six games since LeMahieu's return and appears set to fill a utility role moving forward after holding down the fort at third base for much of the past two months.

  • Likely out 6-to-8 weeks
    Berti (calf) is wearing a walking boot and isn't expected to be able to return from the 10-day injured list for 6-to-8 weeks, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Berti was injured while running out of the batter's box during a game May 24 and was subsequently diagnosed with a high-grade left calf strain. He landed on the IL the following day and received a platelet-rich plasma injection May 28. DJ LeMahieu came off the injured list four days after Berti went down and has reclaimed the primary third base role for the Yankees. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:00 pm

  • Jorge Mateo leaves with apparent head injury
    Jorge Mateo left Sunday’s game against the Rays with an apparent head injury.

    Advice: Mateo appeared to be hit in the head when he was struck in the head accidentally by Cedric Mullins in the on-deck circle. Ramon Urias pinch-hit for him after. There should be an update on Mateo’s status by the end of the game. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:49 am

  • Departs with head injury
    Mateo was removed from Sunday's game against the Rays with an apparent head injury, Melanie Newman of MASN reports.

    Advice: The 28-year-old appeared to be struck in the head by a bat around the on-deck circle during the fourth inning and was replaced by a pinch hitter shortly thereafter. He singled in his lone plate appearance before exiting the contest. The specifics of the injury are unclear, but Mateo is likely being evaluated for a concussion. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:42 am

  • Getting fourth straight start
    Duran will start at first base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Duran will stay in the lineup for a fourth straight game, with two starts coming against left-handed pitchers and two coming versus righties. While Evan Carter (back) is on the injured list, Duran looks to be a priority for the final spot in the Texas lineup over the likes of Robbie Grossman and Travis Jankowski.

  • Pulled from lineup Sunday
    Monasterio was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the White Sox.

    Advice: The 27-year-old was scheduled to bat ninth as the designated hitter, but William Contreras and Willy Adames were late additions to the lineup after initially being scheduled for days off. Monasterio should continue to operate as a bench bat while seeing some stars against left-handed pitching. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:41 am
