    • Nabs fourth steal Sunday
      Butler went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

      Advice: Butler snapped a brief 0-for-6 skid that had encompassed his last three games, and the steal was the first of the rookie's current big-league stint. Despite Sunday's modest success, Butler hasn't been much better at the plate than he was during his initial tenure with the Athletics from Opening Day through May 13 -- he's carrying a .179 average, .422 OPS and 34.5 percent strikeout rate across the 29 plate appearances he's logged since returning June 18.

    • Davis Schneider is starting in LF on Monday
      Davis Schneider is starting in left field for the Blue Jays on Monday.

      Advice: Despite Schneider not being a full-time player, this will be his fourth start in the team’s last six games. However, he is coming off a rough month of June in which he hit .163/.227/.300 in 26 games with a 28.4 percent strikeout rate to go along with three home runs. He no longer needs to be held on fantasy rosters outside of the deepest formats. Rotoworld Monday, 8:37 am
       
    • Rejoining lineup Sunday
      Hays (knee) is starting in left field and batting fifth Sunday against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: Hays hasn't been in the lineup since Tuesday while battling knee soreness, but he may have been on the bench the past few days regardless of the injury since Baltimore faced four straight right-handed starters. The 28-year-old will return to the starting nine Sunday as lefty Andrew Heaney takes the mound for Texas. Rotowire.com Sunday, 1:13 pm
       
    • Austin Hays (knee) returns to lineup Sunday
      Austin Hays (knee) is hitting fifth and playing left field Sunday against the Rangers.

      Advice: Hays missed time while dealing with soreness in his right knee, but the outfielder is feeling well enough to hit against Andrew Heaney and the Texas pitching staff. Rotoworld Sunday, 12:52 pm
       
    • Hitting bench Sunday
      McKinstry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

      Advice: With southpaw Tyler Anderson on the hill for the Angels, the lefty-hitting McKinstry will duck out of the lineup. Ryan Kreidler will step in for McKinstry at shortstop. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:12 pm

    • Retreating to bench vs. lefty
      Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: The platoon-happy Giants will hold out Wade and fellow lefty-hitting regulars Michael Conforto and Brett Wisely while the Dodgers send a southpaw (James Paxton) to the hill. David Villar will check in at first base in place of Wade, who went 2-for-9 with a double, a walk and a run scored in the first two games of the series following his return from a month-long stay on the injured list due to a hamstring strain.

    • Resting against southpaw
      Conforto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: With southpaw James Paxton toeing the slab for the Dodgers, the lefty-hitting Conforto will be given the afternoon off. Luis Matos will fill in for Conforto in left field. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:53 am
       
    • Heading to bench Sunday
      Senzel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

      Advice: Senzel started the previous nine games but will receive Sunday off after he batted .176 with a 29.4 percent strikeout rate during that stretch. Ildemaro Vargas will take over at the hot corner and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:13 am

    • Sitting amid slump
      Schneider is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: Scheider has a .165/.221/.304 slash line through 25 games in June and will hit the bench Sunday after going 1-for-14 over his past six contests. Daulton Varsho will shift to left field while Kevin Kiermaier receives a start in center. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:58 am
