    • Andrés Giménez not in Guardians lineup on Friday
      Andrés Giménez is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Braves.

      Advice: The switch-hitting 25-year-old infielder went hitless (0-for-10) during their series against the Red Sox to start the week, so perhaps Guardians’ skipper Stephen Vogt just wants to give him a day to clear his head. Gabriel Arias will start in his place at second base and will bat seventh against Chris Sale and the Braves on Friday evening in Atlanta. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:55 pm
       
    • Sitting versus lefty
      Gimenez is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

      Advice: Atlanta is starting southpaw Chris Sale, so it's not a bad day for the left-handed hitting Gimenez to get a breather. Gabriel Arias will handle second base Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:52 pm
       
    • Blaze Alexander returns to lineup on Wednesday
      Blaze Alexander went 1-for-4 on Wednesday in his return to the lineup.

      Advice: Alexander was back at shortstop for Wednesday’s series finale against the Cardinals following a two-game absence due to right hamstring discomfort. It doesn’t sound like a concern moving forward. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:00 am
       
    • Logs hit in return
      Alexander started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: Alexander returned to the lineup after missing two games due to a hamstring. He was moved up to second in the order, as a couple of Arizona regulars were getting a breather. Alexander also committed his fourth throwing error of the season (minus-7 outs above average), although the fielding issues haven't affected his playing time or offense. Alexander is hitting .316/.371/.915 with four doubles, three home runs and 15 RBI over 62 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 5:57 pm
       
    • Swats sixth homer
      Paredes went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: He supplied the Rays' only offense by taking Alex Faedo deep in the sixth inning. Paredes is having a strong start to the season, slashing .274/.361/.512 through 23 games with six homers and 16 RBI, but he'll need to keep producing to hang on to his starting job at third base with top prospect Junior Caminero lurking at Triple-A.

    • Returns to lineup as No. 2 hitter
      Alexander (hamstring) will start at shortstop and bat second in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Alexander didn't play in either of Arizona's last two contests after leaving Sunday's 5-3 win over the Giants with right hamstring cramping, but he'll be back in action for the series finale in St. Louis. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo will tinker with his lineup and move Alexander up to the two hole after the rookie had batted no higher than sixth in any of his previous 13 starts.

    • Paredes homers in loss to Tigers
      Isaac Paredes went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Tigers on Tuesday.

      Advice: In a rare occurrence, Paredes homered to left-center field instead of down the line in left field. The ball left the bat at 100.8 mph and traveled 384 feet. It was the 25-year-old’s sixth home run on the season to go along with 16 RBI. He’s been strong again to start the season, which he’ll need to continue to be since one of the best prospects in baseball, Junior Caminero, plays his position and is just one level away. Still, Paredes will continue to play if he keeps hitting, and there are no indications that last year’s breakout was a fluke. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:01 pm

    • Blaze Alexander (hamstring) remains out of lineup
      Blaze Alexander (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Alexander will miss his second straight contest due to a relatively minor right hamstring issue that cropped up over the weekend. The 24-year-old rookie slugger has been outstanding so far in his first taste of the majors with a stratospheric .945 OPS with three homers, 13 RBI and one steal through 18 contests.. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. It’ll be veteran Kevin Newman drawing another start at shortstop in his absence. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:54 pm
       
    • Out again Tuesday
      Alexander (hamstring) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday's contest in St. Louis.

      Advice: Alexander tweaked his right hamstring Sunday and has now missed two straight starts. He was reportedly available off the bench Monday, so it shouldn't be long before he's ready to return to the lineup. However, with a team off day coming Thursday, the Diamondbacks might elect to hold him out until Friday. Kevin Newman will be at shortstop again Tuesday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:50 pm
