  • David Fry leaves game with elbow inflammation
    David Fry was removed from Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays due to right elbow inflammation.

    Advice: The positive news here is that Fry’s early exit isn’t related to a possible head injury or concussion. The bad news is that he’s probably going to be sent for some further evaluation and imaging to determine the extent of the issue. The 28-year-old backstop has been an unexpected revelation this season for fantasy managers, so the hope here is that his exit was merely for precautionary reasons. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:09 pm

  • David Fry leaves game Sunday with possible injury
    David Fry made an early exit from Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays with a potential injury.

    Advice: MLB.com’s Henry Palattella adds that Fry was apparently struck in the head by a practice swing from Danny Jansen in the opening frame, so it’s highly likely he’s been lifted from the contest for precautinary reasons to undergo testing for a possible concussion. There should be an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:34 am

  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Jeffers isn't in the Twins' lineup for Sunday's game against Oakland.

    Advice: Jeffers has alternated starts behind the plate with Christian Vazquez for most of June, and Sunday will simply mark Vazquez's turn to serve as Minnesota's catcher while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:18 am
     
  • Cubs release catcher Yan Gomes
    Cubs released C Yan Gomes.

    Advice: Gomes went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will head to free agency in search of a new opportunity. The 36-year-old veteran backstop should be able to latch on somewhere as a backup catching option for the remainder of the year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:05 am
     
  • Sitting Sunday
    Contreras isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Contreras will get a day to regroup Sunday after posting a .494 OPS through 18 games since the start of June. Gary Sanchez will fill in at catcher and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:01 am
     
  • Sitting Sunday
    Heim is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Royals.

    Advice: Heim will sit Sunday after going 0-for-4 with one run, one RBI and four walks over the first two games of the series. Andrew Knizner will start behind home plate and bat eighth against Kansas City right-hander Alec Marsh. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:58 am
     
  • Getting Sunday off
    Higashioka isn't in the Padres' lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: After hitting a two-run home run en route to a win Saturday, Higashioka will take a seat for Sunday's series finale while Brett Sullivan gets the nod behind home plate. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:56 am
     
  • William Contreras gets day off Sunday vs. Padres
    William Contreras is not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Pirates.

    Advice: It appears to be a routine off day for Conteras after handling the catching duties in three consecutive contests. The 26-year-old has put together a phenomenal season so far, batting .293/.354/.443 with nine homers and five steals across 339 plate appearances over 75 contests. It’ll be Gary Sánchez behind the plate in his absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:47 am
     
  • Absent from lineup Sunday
    McCann is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Houston.

    Advice: McCann will sit for a second straight game Sunday after going 0-for-3 with one walk and two strikeouts in Friday's 14-11 loss. Adley Rutschman will serve behind home plate Sunday and bat in the leadoff spot against Astros southpaw Framber Valdez. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:47 am
