  • Fernando Tatis Jr. was available off bench Sunday
    Padres’ manager Mike Shildt told reporters after Sunday’s loss to the Brewers that Fernando Tatis Jr. (triceps, quad) was available off the bench.

    Advice: The Padres were simply waiting for the right opportunity to present itself on Sunday, unfortunately it never did. It’s good news for the superstar outfielder’s availability going forward though, as he should return to the Padres’ starting lineup early in the week. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:45 pm
     
  • Eugenio Suárez goes hitless in fifth straight game
    Eugenio Suárez went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts in the loss to the Phillies on Sunday.

    Advice: There was talk of Suárez playing less after Geraldo Perdomo came off the IL earlier this month, but it’s barely materialized; he sat out two of Arizona’s first five games with Perdomo back, but he’s now started six in a row, even though his results have remained awful. This is his fifth straight hitless game, and his average is down to .192. His last multi-RBI game came on Apr. 22. Rotoworld Sunday, 11:33 am
     
  • Fernando Tatis Jr. out again Sunday due to injury
    Fernando Tatis Jr. (triceps, quad) remains out of the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Brewers.

    Advice: Tatis will miss his second consecutive contest after being drilled in the left triceps by a pitch during Friday’s showdown at Petco Park. If there’s a positive takeaway here it’s that the 25-year-old fantasy superstar didn’t need to undergo any precautionary imaging and is merely day-to-day with a triceps contusion. He’s also been playing through a lingering quad issue, which might be the more pressing issue at the moment. There should be a decision from San Diego concerning his status at some point early next week. Rotoworld Sunday, 10:53 am
     
  • Sitting again Sunday
    Tatis (triceps) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.

    Advice: Tatis exited Friday's 9-5 win after getting hit in the left arm by a pitch, and he'll now miss his second consecutive start as a result. David Peralta will once again start in right field while Donovan Solano serves as San Diego's designated hitter. According to MLB.com, Padres manager Mike Shildt said Tatis would have been available to pinch hit in Saturday's 6-2 loss if an opportunity presented itself, so the 25-year-old would appear to be day-to-day and could be ready to return to the lineup during the Padres' upcoming three-game series with the Nationals that begins Monday.

  • Out of lineup Sunday
    Raleigh is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Raleigh will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after going 1-for-8 with one RBI over the first two games of the series. Mitch Garver will start behind home plate and bat seventh against Miami right-hander Kyle Tyler. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:35 am
     
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. returns at DH on Sunday vs. M’s
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. (biceps) is in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Mariners.

    Advice: It’s a rare bit of positive injury news for Miami as Chisholm is back at designated hitter for Sunday’s series finale following an early exit from Saturday’s game due to right biceps tightness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern at the moment and it’s certainly a welcome development for fantasy managers. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:08 am
     
  • Swipes rare bag
    Lowe went 0-for-2 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Royals.

    Advice: The first baseman remains stuck in a 32-game power drought -- he launched his last home run May 14 -- but Lowe found a way to contribute. The steal was his second of the season, and while he did pilfer a career-high eight bags in 2021, he's managed only five stolen bases in 373 games since then. Lowe is slashing .214/.294/.262 during his homerless streak with just five doubles, nine RBI and nine runs. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:29 am
     
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. leaves game with tight biceps
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. was removed from Saturday’s game against the Mariners due to tightness in his right biceps.

    Advice: The 26-year-old outfielder had been 1-for-2 with a single and a strikeout when Vidal Brujan surprisingly hit for him in the sixth inning. The severity of the injury is not yet known, so be sure to check his status on Sunday. It may be wise for fantasy managers to have a contingency plan in place for next week in the event that Chisholm requires a trip to the injured list. Rotoworld Saturday, 5:12 pm
     
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. in Saturday’s lineup vs. M’s
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hamstring) is in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Chisholm is back in center field for the second straight contest after being scratched earlier this week due to right hamstring tightness. It doesn’t look like it’s going to be an issue going forward, but fantasy managers should continue to keep a close eye on his status in the coming days. Rotoworld Saturday, 9:41 am
