  • Idle against lefty
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Lopez will take a seat while southpaw Jordan Montgomery starts for the Diamondbacks. Danny Mendick will fill in for Lopez at the keystone. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Drawing fourth straight start
    Moore will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Moore will pick up his fourth consecutive start in the infield since making his return from the paternity list Thursday. He'll likely serve as the Mariners' primary option at the keystone before moving into a utility role once Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is ready to come off the 10-day injured list.

  • 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.

  • Getting look atop batting order
    Stefanic will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Giants, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: The Giants are opening the game with a left-hander (Erik Miller) on the hill, so the right-handed-hitting Stefanic will displace the Angels' usual leadoff man -- the lefty-hitting Nolan Schanuel -- atop the lineup. Stefanic had started in two of the previous three games while batting ninth in the order on both occasions, and he could end up serving as the Angels' preferred option at second base until Brandon Drury (hamstring) returns from the injured list.

  • Not getting regular work at 2B
    Guillorme is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: Guillorme is on the bench for the third time in four games. Though Kyren Paris' recent demotion to the minors has opened up playing time at the keystone while Brandon Drury (hamstring) remains on the injured list, Guillorme looks like he'll remain in a utility role while Michael Stefanic serves as the top option at second base.

  • Getting fourth straight start
    Triolo will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Triolo will pick up his fourth straight start, but two came while shortstop Oneil Cruz was sitting out due to a sore ankle. Cruz is back in the lineup Sunday, but Triolo will get the nod at third base in place of a resting Ke'Bryan Hayes. Expect Triolo to return to a utility role when the Pirates open their series against the Reds on Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:51 am

  • Battling illness
    Walls isn't available for Sunday's game against Atlanta due to an illness, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: The switch-hitting Walls' bout with the illness might help explain why he's out of the lineup Sunday against a right-hander (Hurston Waldrep) for the second day in a row. Jose Caballero -- who had been battling an illness of his own lately -- was scheduled to start at shortstop Sunday in Walls' place, but he was scratched after experiencing left calf tightness leading up to opening pitch. Amed Rosario is now set to operate as the Rays' shortstop in the series finale in Atlanta. Rotowire.com Today, 10:12 am

  • Sitting in second straight game
    Walls is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: The switch-hitting Walls is sitting against a right-handed starting pitcher (Hurston Waldrep) for the second day in a row, perhaps hinting that he hasn't quite locked down an everyday role at shortstop since his return from the injured list June 7. Walls had started in six of the Rays' ensuing eight games following his reinstatement, but he went just 2-for-18 with three walks against 10 strikeouts during that stretch. Jose Caballero (calf) and Amed Rosario look to be Walls' main threats for playing time at shortstop. Rotowire.com Today, 9:35 am

  • Exiting starting nine
    Solano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Solano had started each of the last eight games -- with seven coming at third base -- and went 5-for-29 with two home runs, three walks, six RBI and four runs. He should continue to have a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching, but Solano's opportunities to play against righties will likely become more limited now that Manny Machado is playing third base again after he had relegated to designated-hitter duties recently following his return from a right hip flexor strain.
