  • 61-44-5 3rd Place
    • Reaches three times in win
      Schuemann went 0-for-2 with three walks and a run in a win over the Royals on Wednesday.

      Advice: Schuemann busy night on the basepaths surprisingly led to only one run, but it did push his OBP back up to an improving .318. The rookie has hit safely in three of the last four games, and his walk rate has now hit double digits (10.1 percent) after also sitting at that threshold in each of the last six minor-league stops before his promotion.

    • Sitting out Thursday
      Palacios is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Minnesota, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Palacios typically starts against right-handers, but he'll end up sitting against a righty (Simeon Woods Richardson) for the second time in three contests. The 27-year-old has gone just 4-for-35 at the plate so far in June. Rotowire.com Today, 8:15 am
       
    • Out of Thursday's lineup
      Walls is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest in Minnesota, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Walls started six of eight games at shortstop after returning from the injured list June 7 but has now been in the lineup just once over the last five tilts, though he was battling an illness for some of that time. Jose Caballero will cover shortstop Thursday in Walls' stead. Rotowire.com Today, 8:11 am

    • Austin Martin starting again for Twins
      Austin Martin is starting at second base for the Twins on Thursday with Willi Castro on the bench.

      Advice: Martin has now started four straight games and five of six since being promoted from Triple-A. Martin is 7-for-15 in those five games with four runs, two RBI, and a steal. If the Twins continue to move him all over the field and keep him in the starting lineup then Martin could produce enough value to be rostered in deeper formats. Kyle Farmer will play up the middle with Martin at shortstop with Carlos Correa getting a day off. Rotoworld Today, 8:01 am

    • Sitting against southpaw
      Rojas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

      Advice: With lefty Logan Allen on the hill for Cleveland, Rojas and fellow left-handed-hitting regulars Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley will retreat to the bench. Dylan Moore will move over from his usual spot at second base to cover the hot corner in Rojas' stead. Rotowire.com Today, 7:53 am
       
    • Starting rehab assignment
      Rodgers (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Rodgers participated in batting practice drills Tuesday and Wednesday before heading out for game action. He has been sidelined for around two weeks, so he shouldn't need a particularly long rehab assignment prior to being activated. Rotowire.com Today, 7:50 am

    • Long starting streak comes to end
      Castro is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

      Advice: For the first time since April 15, Castro will head to the bench, ending a streak of 59 consecutive starts. Though he opened the season in a utility role, Castro has solidified an everyday role thanks to his positional versatility and solid production at the plate. Austin Martin will enter the lineup at second base in place of Castro, who has been dialed in of late with a .368/.429/.605 slash line to go with one home run, six doubles, one stolen base, nine runs and four RBI over his last nine starts.

    • Sitting out Thursday
      Perdomo isn't in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Nationals.

      Advice: Perdomo had started five straight games and seven of eight since returning from the injured list June 11, but he'll begin the series finale in Washington on the bench. Kevin Newman will handle shortstop for the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 6:24 am
       
    • Two hits, steal in win
      Hamilton started at shortstop and went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and an RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Hamilton returned to the starting lineup after dealing with discomfort in his side. He started the scoring with a run-producing single in the third inning and later stole his 20th base of the season. Hamilton has been prominent in the team's recent transition to the "Running Red Sox," as the team has attempted 17 steals (twice caught) over the last four games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:24 am
