    • Joey Votto (ankle) dealing with back tightness
      Joey Votto is dealing with back tightness in his rehab from an ankle injury.

      Advice: Votto has been off for a few days now after beginning a rehab assignment last week, but he’s expected to resume playing in the minors before the end of the week. He was 0-for-5 in three games before going down. Rotoworld Monday, 2:19 pm

    • Red Sox place Connor Wong on Paternity List
      Red Sox placed C Connor Wong on the Paternity List.

      Advice: Congratulations to Connor. He will miss the first half of this week and should be removed from all weekly lineup leagues. Tyler Heineman was called up in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Monday, 12:35 pm
       
    • Heston Kjerstad starting over Cowser on Monday
      Colton Cowser is on the bench on Monday against the Guardians.

      Advice: After the Orioles called up Heston Kjerstad on Monday, they will now insert him into the starting lineup and move Cowser to the bench. In 46 games since May 1st, Cowser is hitting .182/.285/.299 with a 29 percent strikeout rate, so the Orioles may be willing to move him to the bench full-time to see if Kjerstad can provide them more offense.

    • Goes on paternity leave
      The Red Sox placed Wong on the paternity leave list Monday, Chris Henrique of Beyond the Monster reports

      Advice: Wong's placement on the paternity list explains why he's out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Blue Jays. He will likely miss the entirety of the three-game set versus Toronto before rejoining the active roster Friday, when the Red Sox take on the Padres. Wong will put his season-best 13-game hitting streak on hold while he's away from the Red Sox. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:05 pm
       
    • Getting rest Monday
      Wong is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Wong will get a break after he started behind the plate in all three of the Red Sox's games in Cincinnati over the weekend. Reese McGuire will receive the starting nod at catcher in Monday's series opener while Wong puts his 13-game hitting streak on hold, barring an appearance off the bench as a pinch hitter.

    • Sitting in favor of Kjerstad
      Cowser is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Cowser will take a seat against a right-handed starter (Tanner Bibee) for the third time in five games. Though the Orioles haven't publicly said that Cowser -- who is batting .175 in June -- will see fewer opportunities moving forward, the promotion of Heston Kjerstad from Triple-A Norfolk on Monday wouldn't seem to be a positive development for Cowser's outlook. Kjerstad will enter the Baltimore lineup right away Monday, covering Cowser's typical spot in left field while batting fifth. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:54 am
       
    • Extends hit streak to 13 games
      Wong went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's 7-4 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Wong got the Red Sox started with a two-run home run in the fourth inning, extending a hit streak to 13 games (17-for-48, .354). The catcher, who entered 2024 with a career .232 batting average, is up to .330 for the season. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:50 am
       
    • Powers offense in win
      Buxton went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Athletics.

      Advice: Buxton has an extra-base hit in each of his last three games. This was his first multi-hit effort since June 13. He's hitting .246 (16-for-65) over 18 games in June, right in line with his .245 batting average for the season. Buxton has added a .702 OPS, five homers, 25 RBI, 26 runs scored, five stolen bases, 11 doubles and three triples across 58 contests. He's been given ample rest since returning from a knee injury in May, but he remains the primary center fielder for the Twins. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:07 pm
       
    • Byron Buxton goes deep to lead Twins on Sunday
      Byron Buxton homered, doubled and drove in a pair of runs on Sunday afternoon, leading the Twins to a 3-0 victory over the Athletics in Oakland.

      Advice: Buxton opened the scoring in the ballgame with a monstrous 432-foot (112.7 mph EV) solo shot on the first pitch that he saw from Hogan Harris in the second inning. He then laced a run-scoring double into center field in the seventh inning that extended the Twins’ lead to 2-0. The 30-year-old outfielder finished the day 2-for-3 and is now hitting .245/.294/.408 with five homers and 25 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:30 pm
