    • Remains out Sunday
      Hoerner (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Make it six straight absences for Hoerner, who continues to nurse a sore left hamstring. He was still hoping to avoid the injured list as of Friday, but it's reasonable to think Hoerner to the IL could be the move to accommodate the return of Dansby Swanson (knee) on Tuesday. Nick Madrigal has been serving as the Cubs' primary second baseman in Hoerner's absence. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago

    • Nico Hoerner (hamstring) remains out Sunday
      Nico Hoerner (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Pirates.

      Advice: Hoerner is going to miss a sixth straight game while recovering from tightness in his left hamstring. The 27-year-old is considered day-to-day, but a trip to the injured list can’t completely be ruled out. Nick Madrigal is the starting second baseman and will hit seventh against the Pirates on Sunday. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago

    • Not starting Sunday
      Buxton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

      Advice: Buxton went 1-for-4 with a run and an RBI in his return from right knee inflammation Saturday, and he'll sit for the series finale in Cleveland. Willi Castro will man center field Sunday for the Twins. Rotowire.com Today, 8:19 am
       
    • Byron Buxton not starting Sunday vs. Guardians
      Byron Buxton is not in the starting lineup versus the Guardians on Sunday.

      Advice: Buxton was activated off the 10-day injured list Saturday, but the outfielder won’t be in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against Cleveland. Willi Castro is the starting centerfielder while Jose Miranda gets the start at third base. Rotoworld Today, 8:05 am
       
    • Nearing return
      Jones (back) is expected to be recalled from his rehab assignment following Sunday's game with Triple-A Albuquerque, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Jones has appeared in three games with Albuquerque, starting twice in left field and once at designated hitter. He's lined up for a fourth appearance Sunday and will rejoin the big-league club as it travels to Oakland. Assuming all goes according to plan, it appears that Jones will be activated for the first game of the series Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:43 pm

    • Notches RBI in return
      Buxton went 1-for-4 with a run and an RBI in Saturday's loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: Buxton was activated from the injured list Saturday after missing over two weeks due to right knee inflammation. The outfielder helped Minnesota avoid being shut out, plating the team's first run in the ninth inning with a single to right field. Buxton is slashing .250/.298/.385 with a home run, 12 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base through 104 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:19 pm
       
    • Resting versus LHP
      Julien isn't in the Twins' lineup Saturday versus Cleveland.

      Advice: With lefty Logan Allen set to take the mound for the Guardians, Julien and his career .545 OPS against southpaws will stay put in Minnesota's dugout. Kyle Farmer will get the nod to start at second base instead and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:03 pm
       
    • Getting breather Saturday
      Gurriel isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Saturday's game versus Detroit.

      Advice: Gurriel has gone just 1-for-18 with nine strikeouts across his past five games, so the D-backs will give him a day to regroup Saturday. Jake McCarthy, Corbin Carroll and Pavin Smith will start across the outfield while Gurriel rests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:07 pm
       
    • Kodai Senga (shoulder) throwing again on Sunday
      Kodai Senga (shoulder) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session on Sunday.

      Advice: Senga remains in a bit of a holding pattern with his recovery from a right shoulder issue as he continues to work on his mechanics. There isn’t a definitive timetable for his return at the moment, but it seems plausible that he could be back before the end of next month, barring any setbacks. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:36 am
