  • Ejected from Sunday's contest
    Altuve was ejected from Sunday's game against the Mets, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Altuve grounded out to finish the seventh inning, but he was ejected for arguing that he fouled the ball off his foot. The 34-year-old went 2-for-4 with an RBI prior to being sent off, which is his fifth multi-hit effort in the past six games. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:33 pm
     
  • Idle against lefty
    Wisely is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Wisely will take a seat in favor of the righty-hitting Tyler Fitzgerald, who will cover second base while the Giants face off against southpaw James Paxton. Though he's still holding down a strong-side platoon role in the middle infield, Wisely's run as the Giants' primary leadoff man versus right-handed pitching has come to an end in the wake of LaMonte Wade's return from the injured list Friday. Wade had actually batted second both of the previous two days against right-handed pitching, but Jorge Soler moved into the leadoff spot while Wisely dropped to eighth in the order.

  • Not starting Sunday
    Ortiz (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

    Advice: The 25-year-old is out of the lineup for the third straight game due to neck soreness, but his absence is viewed as precautionary. Ortiz's appearance as a pinch runner during Saturday's contest reinforces that sentiment. Andruw Monasterio will receive another start at the hot corner in Sunday's series finale.

  • Playing time trending up
    Merrifield will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Merrifield will get his third start in four games and should be in store for an uptick in playing time in the short term after the Phillies recently placed both Bryce Harper (hamstring) and Kyle Schwarber (groin) on the injured list. Through 16 games in June while seeing mostly sporadic at-bats, Merrifield has slashed .216/.293/.297 with one home run and one stolen base. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:32 am
     
  • Joey Ortiz (neck) remains out Sunday vs. Cubs
    Joey Ortiz (neck) is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Ortiz is dealing with neck stiffness, and the issue caused him to be scratched from Saturday’s lineup and will cause at least one more missed game. The Brewers are calling Ortiz’s absence precautionary, so consider the 25-year-old day-to-day for now. Andruw Monasterio will handle third base while Ortiz recovers. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:16 am

  • Taking seat against southpaw
    Gordon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Gordon will retreat to the bench while the Phillies send southpaw Ranger Suarez to the hill. Bryan De La Cruz will cover left field in Gordon's stead. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:16 am
     
  • Hitting bench against lefty
    Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: He'll join fellow left-handed-hitters Josh Lowe, Brandon Lowe and Ben Rortvedt on the bench as the Rays stock up on extra right-handed bats with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the hill for Washington. Palacios has logged just 22 plate appearances against lefties all season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:30 am
     
  • Getting day off versus lefty
