  • Jurickson Profar back in lineup Sunday vs. Brewers
    Jurickson Profar (knee) is back in the lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Brewers.

    Advice: Profar is back in left field and batting second on Sunday afternoon following a brief one-game absence due to left knee patellar tendinitis that flared up during Friday’s contest. The 31-year-old corner outfielder should be able to manage and play through the issue moving forward. He’s been an unexpected revelation this season for San Diego and is making a serious bid for a spot on the senior circuit’s All-Star Game roster. Rotoworld Today, 10:56 am
     
  • In Sunday's lineup
    Profar (knee) is starting in left field and batting second Sunday versus the Brewers.

    Advice: Profar guaranteed he would return to the starting nine Sunday after missing Saturday's contest, and he has now officially come through on his promise. The 31-year-old has tallied a base hit in each of his last six games, going 7-for-24 with three RBI and three runs scored in that span. Rotowire.com Today, 10:54 am
     
  • Sitting Sunday as expected
    Varsho (back) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Guardians.

    Advice: Varsho will be given the day off Sunday after experiencing lower left back tightness on his swing in the ninth inning in Saturday's loss, per Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca. The good news for Varsho is his injury is believed to be short-term, and the 27-year-old is expected to avoid a stint on the IL. Kevin Kiermaier will start in center field Sunday and bat ninth against Cleveland right-hander Triston McKenzie. Rotowire.com Today, 10:19 am

  • Daulton Varsho out Sunday with back tightness
    Daulton Varsho (back) is absent from the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Guardians.

    Advice: As expected, Varsho will sit out Sunday’s series finale due to lower back tightness. The 27-year-old outfielder has been playing through the issue recently and the team doesn’t want to take any chances that it gets worse. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

    Adley Rutschman is leading off on Sunday against the Astros.

    Advice: Rutschman has been bumped up to the leadoff spot for the first time all season on Sunday afternoon with southpaw Framber Valdez toeing the rubber for Houston.

  • Exits with calf injury
    Neto was removed from Saturday's game against the Dodgers with left calf tightness.

    Advice: Neto slid to field a ball at shortstop and fell back to the ground in pain after attempting to get up and throw the ball. Encouragingly, Neto was able to walk off the field unassisted and it's expected he'll be evaluated during Sunday's team day off. Luis Guillorme will slide to shortstop while Michael Stefanic enters at second base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:25 pm

  • Zach Neto diagnosed with left calf tightness
    The Angels announced that Zach Neto was removed from Saturday’s contest due to tightness in his left calf.

    Advice: The 23-year-old shortstop suffered the injury while making a sliding stop on a ground ball in the fourth inning on Saturday night. The severity of the injury — as well as how much time (if any) Neto may miss — remains unclear. Fantasy mangers who are counting on Neto for next week should be sure to have an alternative option at the ready in case Neto lands on the injured list. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:21 pm
