  • Logs steal as pinch runner
    Bliss entered Sunday's win over the Rangers as a pinch runner in the eighth inning, recording a stolen base and scoring a run without logging an official plate appearance.

    Advice: The rookie worked himself into scoring position with his steal of second base and then was driven home with the Mariners' fourth run by Dominic Canzone's single. The cameo marked Bliss's first appearance on the basepaths since last Monday, as he'd failed to reach in any of the nine plate appearances he'd logged over the previous four games.

  • Losing out to Dylan Moore
    Bliss is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: After a recent stretch of nine consecutive starts at second base, Bliss appears to have lost hold of an everyday role following Dylan Moore's recent return from the paternity list. Moore will make his second straight start at the keystone, but both he and Bliss will see their opportunities trend down once Jorge Polanco (hamstring) returns from the injured list.

  • Absent from lineup
    LeMahieu is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Boston.

    Advice: He will yield to Oswaldo Cabrera at third base as the Yankees begin a weekend series against their AL East rivals. LeMahieu has just a .497 OPS and zero extra-base hits in 13 games since coming off the injured list. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:21 pm

  • Nico Hoerner swipes two bases in return to lineup
    Nico Hoerner went 1-for-4 with two steals Wednesday against the Rays in his return to the Cubs lineup.

    Advice: Hoerner hadn’t started since suffering a hairline fracture in his hand Thursday. His two steals tonight gave him nine for the year, eight of which have come since May 1. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:13 pm

  • Back in action Wednesday
    Hoerner (hand) will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Though Hoerner was diagnosed with a small fracture in his right hand over the weekend, he avoided a stint on the injured list and will make his return to the lineup after missing only four starts. Before his recent absence, Hoerner had gone 0-for-8 over his last three starts, and it may take a bit for him to regain full strength in his hand and recapture the exit velocities he had provided prior to suffering the injury. Fantasy managers in leagues with daily lineup moves may be best served leaving Hoerner on the bench until he resumes producing at a level that warrants keeping him active.

  • Nico Hoerner (hand) gets into Tuesday’s contest
    Nico Hoerner (hand) made an appearance as a defensive replacement during Tuesday’s loss to the Rays.

    Advice: Hoerner appears likely to avoid a trip to the injured list as he attempts to play through a small fracture in his right hand. The 27-year-old second baseman was held out of the lineup on Tuesday for the fourth straight contest, but was able to come off the bench as a defensive replacement in the late innings. The biggest question for fantasy managers is whether the lingering hand issue will impact his offensive performance moving forward, even if he doesn’t wind up requiring a lengthy absence.

  • Getting Tuesday off
    LeMahieu isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu has gone 4-for-9 with an RBI across his last three games, and he'll get a breather Tuesday while Oswaldo Cabrera starts at third base, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:17 pm

  • Nico Hoerner available off bench on Tuesday vs. Rays
    Nico Hoerner (hand) remains absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rays.

    Advice: Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Hoerner is available off the bench after getting through an extensive hitting session on Tuesday afternoon. There’s some optimism the 27-year-old second baseman will be able to play through the issue, and should return to the lineup soon, but he remains on the bench to open a three-game set down in Tampa Bay.

  • On bench again Tuesday
    Hoerner (hand) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Rays.

    Advice: Hoerner is dealing with a small fracture in his right hand and will miss a fourth straight start. According to Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times, the 27-year-old partook in a hitting session Tuesday and will be available off the bench, and he could be back in the lineup for Wednesday's contest. Michael Busch is getting a second straight start at second base Tuesday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:02 pm
