  • Logs steal in win
    Schuemann went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-5 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Schuemann has a steal in two of his last three games, though he's hitting a meager .149 (7-for-47) over his last 15 contests. He's maintained a starting role at shortstop, though his .227/.316/.315 slash line for the year is far from impressive. He's added three home runs, 15 RBI, 26 runs scored and six thefts across 63 games. Armando Alvarez is Schuemann's biggest threat for playing time until Darell Hernaiz (ankle) can return, which is likely to be after the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:35 pm

  • Absent from starting nine
    McKinstry is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: McKinstry continues to split shortstop work with Ryan Kreidler in the wake of Javier Baez's (back) injury. McKinstry is 4-for-29 (.138) since June 11. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:59 pm

  • Back in action
    Brujan (undisclosed) is batting seventh and playing second base Tuesday against Boston.

    Advice: Brujan was scratched from Saturday's game against Philadelphia for unspecified reasons and remained out of the lineup for Sunday's contest. However, he'll enter the starting nine at second base Tuesday while Xavier Edwards plays shortstop. With Tim Anderson booted from the 40-man roster, Brujan should see regular playing time in the infield moving forward. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:54 am

  • Sitting against RHP
    Gordon is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Gordon is riding a seven-game hit steak, but he'll be idle for a second consecutive contest despite righty Kutter Crawford being on the mound for Boston. Bryan De La Cruz will fill left field and bat second Tuesday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:51 am

  • Contributes RBI, steal in loss
    Polanco went 1-for-4 with an RBI single and a stolen base in a loss to the Twins on Sunday.

    Advice: Polanco came through with a clutch knock against his former team in the seventh inning, plating Luke Raley to knot the score at 3-3. The veteran infielder, who's now hit safely in four straight, also added his second steal of the campaign, but he couldn't capitalize on another RBI opportunity in the ninth when he left the bases loaded on a game-ending flyout.
