    • Evan Carter out again Sunday with back stiffness
      Evan Carter (back) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Rockies.

      Advice: Carter was scratched from the lineup Saturday with stiffness in his lower back, and the 21-year-old will miss at least one more game. Robbie Grossman is hitting sixth and starting in left field in Carter’s absence. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:28 am

    • Notches first big-league steal
      Pages went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Saturday's 5-0 win against the Padres.

      Advice: Pages withstood a Padres review challenge to pick up his first theft as a major-leaguer following an eighth-inning single. The 23-year-old hasn't been a big base-stealer as a pro, topping out at seven thefts in the minors, though he does have 83rd percentile sprint speed, per Statcast. Pages continues to see everyday playing time for the Dodgers, but he's tailed off a bit of late with a .158/.261/.158 slash line and 34.8 percent strikeout rate over his past six games.

    • Jarren Duran hitting eighth against southpaw
      Jarren Duran is hitting eighth and playing left field Sunday against the Nationals.

      Advice: Duran normally hits leadoff for the Red Sox, and while he has gotten on at a .402 clip against southpaws in 2024, he’s picked up just one extra-base hit and slugged .302 against pitchers from that side. He’ll move down in the order with Romy Gonzalez hitting leadoff and handling shortstop duties. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:29 am
       
    • Evan Carter scratched Saturday with back stiffness
      Evan Carter was scratched from the Rangers’ starting lineup on Saturday due to stiffness in his lower back.

      Advice: He probably sustained the injury sitting on the bench three times during the week against left-handers instead of actually being on the field. The Rangers are going to take every possible precaution here, so it’s possible that he’ll be held out of Sunday’s lineup as well — causing him to miss the entire three-game weekend set against the Rockies.

    • Dealing with stiff back
      Carter is sitting Saturday against the Rockies due to lower-back stiffness, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Carter has a history of lower-back issues, so the Rangers are acting cautiously, per Grant. Travis Jankowski is getting the start in left field and batting seventh. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:25 pm

    • Sitting Saturday
      Carter is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: Despite the Rockies sending out right-hander Ryan Feltner, the lefty-hitting Carter will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout. Carter has gone 7-for-34 with five runs and four RBI while posting a 35.1 percent strikeout rate in May. Travis Jankowski will start in left field and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:23 pm

    • Finding stride at plate
      Acuna went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Mets.

      Advice: He took Jose Quintana deep in the third inning, part of a four-run frame for Atlanta. Acuna may be turning things around at the plate -- after posting a 26.5 percent strikeout rate in April, he's fanned just 19.4 percent of the time through the first seven games in May. He's also batting .310 (9-for-29) to begin the month with two of his three homers on the season. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:31 am
       
    • Ronald Acuña Jr. goes deep in win
      Ronald Acuña Jr. hit just his third home run of the season Friday in a win over the Mets.

      Advice: A welcome sight, Acuña’s homer was an impressive shot traveling an estimated 461 feet through the cold, rainy New York night at 114.2 mph exit velocity. Acuña’s power hasn’t been there yet this season, but patience is a virtue with a superstar of this level. Rotoworld Friday, 7:50 pm
       
    • Evan Carter sits against another southpaw Friday
      Evan Carter is once again on the Rangers’ bench against an opposing southpaw on Friday night.

      Advice: It’s the third time this week that the Rangers have faced a left-handed starter, and the third time that the 21-year-old outfielder has found himself on the bench. Ezequiel Duran will start in his place in left field and will bat seventh against Austin Gomber and the Rockies at Coors Field. Rotoworld Friday, 2:48 pm
