    • Jordan Lawlar undergoing MRI on hamstring
      Jordan Lawlar is undergoing an MRI on his hamstring after leaving Saturday’s game with Triple-A Reno.

      Advice: Lawlar had just made his way back to Triple-A Reno after missing the start of the season due to surgery on his thumb. The 21-year-old is one of the top prospects in baseball, and if healthy, he has a chance to be a contributor this summer. Unfortunately there’s now questions as to whether that can happen, and he joins a long list of prospects who have dealt with injury at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
       
    • Josh Smith (tightness) remains out Sunday vs. M’s
      Josh Smith (tightness) remains out of the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Smith did appear as a pinch-hitter against the Mariners in the Rangers’ loss to Seattle on Saturday, but he’ll begin Sunday’s game on the bench with Ezequiel Duran getting the start at third base. Smith should still be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 10:58 am

    • Battling illness
      Walls isn't available for Sunday's game against Atlanta due to an illness, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

      Advice: The switch-hitting Walls' bout with the illness might help explain why he's out of the lineup Sunday against a right-hander (Hurston Waldrep) for the second day in a row. Jose Caballero -- who had been battling an illness of his own lately -- was scheduled to start at shortstop Sunday in Walls' place, but he was scratched after experiencing left calf tightness leading up to opening pitch. Amed Rosario is now set to operate as the Rays' shortstop in the series finale in Atlanta. Rotowire.com Today, 10:12 am

    • Sitting in second straight game
      Walls is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: The switch-hitting Walls is sitting against a right-handed starting pitcher (Hurston Waldrep) for the second day in a row, perhaps hinting that he hasn't quite locked down an everyday role at shortstop since his return from the injured list June 7. Walls had started in six of the Rays' ensuing eight games following his reinstatement, but he went just 2-for-18 with three walks against 10 strikeouts during that stretch. Jose Caballero (calf) and Amed Rosario look to be Walls' main threats for playing time at shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 9:35 am

    • Homer, two hits in win
      DeJong went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Saturday's win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: DeJong put the White Sox ahead with a leadoff home run in the top of the fourth and added a single in the following frame, giving him his second straight multi-hit game. The shortstop is now up to 14 home runs on the campaign, with six of them coming this month and four coming over his last eight games. DeJong has also recorded multiple hits in six of his last nine contests. Rotowire.com Today, 8:20 am
       
    • On bench again Sunday
      Mateo is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: Mateo will remain on the bench in favor of Ramon Urias -- with Jordan Westburg at second base -- after Urias went 2-for-4 in Saturday's win. While it's a second straight absence for Mateo after four consecutive starts fresh off the 7-day concussion list, there has been no hint of an injury setback. Rotowire.com Today, 7:38 am

    • Logs steal in loss
      Ahmed went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Angels.

      Advice: Ahmed has gone 3-for-7 over two games since he returned from a five-week absence due to a wrist injury. It looks like he'll reclaim a starting job at shortstop, though the Angels have faced a pair of southpaws since Ahmed's return. The righty-hitting infielder was starting prior to his injury, but lefty-hitting Brett Wisely has batted .311 and saw a large share of playing time while Ahmed was out. Ahmed is slashing .248/.282/.299 with no home runs, one steal, 11 RBI and 10 runs scored over 126 plate appearances this season and is primarily valued for his defense rather than his bat.

    • Stays warm with three-hit game
      Rafaela went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Yankees.

      Advice: This was Rafaela's third multi-hit effort over his last four games. He's gone eight contests without an RBI, though he also has just two extra-base hits in that span. However, the 23-year-old continues to trend in the right direction -- his .230 batting average is the highest mark he's achieved since April 7. He's added a .634 OPS, seven home runs, eight stolen bases, 37 RBI and 33 runs scored through 70 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:00 pm
       
    • Homers in loss
      Sosa went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 6-2 loss to the Orioles on Saturday.

      Advice: Sosa gave the Phillies an early 2-0 lead when he homered off Grayson Rodriguez in the second inning. Sosa hit .306 in May with three home runs, but he has gone just 8-for-37 with one long ball in June. According to Matt Gelb of The Athletic, Trea Turner's return from a hamstring injury is nearing, which means Sosa will likely return to a bench role in the coming days. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:54 pm
