  • Getting Sunday off
    Anderson isn't in the Marlins' lineup for Sunday's game versus Seattle.

    Advice: After going 0-for-3 on Saturday to end his brief five-game hitting streak, Anderson will get a breather during Sunday's series finale. Vidal Brujan will fill the opening at shortstop and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 9:49 am
  • Matt McLain (shoulder) close to resuming swinging
    Reds manager David Bell told reporters Sunday that Matt McLain (shoulder) is close to resuming swinging a bat.

    Advice: The Reds are in the process of mapping out a definitive timeline for McLain to return at some point in August as he works his way back from late-March surgery on his left shoulder. The 24-year-old middle infielder was excellent last year in his debut for Cincinnati and figures to make a significant impact for fantasy managers down the home stretch, if he can avoid any setbacks. He’s worthy of a speculative stash in deeper mixed leagues at this point, even if he’s a couple months away from returning. Rotoworld Today, 9:35 am

  • Sitting Sunday
    Gonzales isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Gonzales will get a chance to regroup Sunday after going 1-for-17 with five strikeouts over his last five games. In his place, Jared Triolo will get the nod at the keystone and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:58 am
  • Reds recall infielder Livan Soto on Sunday
    Reds recalled INF Livan Soto from Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Soto was claimed off waivers back in mid-April from the Orioles and will be making his Cincinnati debut when he gets into a contest. The 24-year-old infielder got into 22 games for the Angels from 2022 to 2023. He’s a non-factor for fantasy purposes, but represents a solid bench depth option in the big leagues.

  • Recalled to majors
    The Reds recalled Soto from Triple-A Louisville on Sunday.

    Advice: Soto has remained at Louisville since he was claimed off waivers from Baltimore in April, slashing .299/.393/.372 with 19 RBI across 191 plate appearances. He doesn't have a clear path to playing time in Cincinnati's infield, so he'll likely occupy the bench as a depth piece. Austin Wynns was designated for assignment in order to clear a spot on the active roster. Rotowire.com Today, 8:08 am
  • Goes deep Saturday
    Kim went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and an additional run in Saturday's 6-4 victory against Milwaukee.

    Advice: Kim hit a fourth-inning solo shot that gave San Diego a 4-0 lead. The shortstop also singled in the contest, giving him his first multi-hit performance in over two weeks. Kim is slashing .231/.338/.462 with three homers, 12 RBI, nine runs, two stolen bases and an 11:8 BB:K through 20 games in June. Rotowire.com Today, 8:01 am

  • Goes yard again in loss
    Abrams went 3-for-5 with a double, a homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's loss to the Rockies.

    Advice: Abrams doubled in his second at-bat before coming around to score Washington's first run of the contest on a Lane Thomas single. The shortstop would then add a leadoff homer in the fifth to cut Colorado's lead down to one run, giving him 12 long balls on the season. Abrams has now logged multiple hits in three consecutive games and is batting .361 in June with three homers, 13 RBI and 12 runs scored. He's also struck out just twice over his last eight games while drawing four walks. Rotowire.com Today, 7:33 am
  • Edmundo Sosa out Sunday with left elbow contusion
    Edmundo Sosa (elbow) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: It doesn’t come as much of a surprise to see Sosa on the bench following his early exit from Saturday’s game against the Diamondbacks being hit by a pitch on the left elbow. The versatile 28-year-old is day-to-day for now and will probably be ready to return in a couple days, if not sooner. Rotoworld Today, 6:56 am

  • Homers, reaches four times
    Merrill went 3-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk in Saturday's win over Milwaukee.

    Advice: Merrill singled in his first at-bat before crushing a three-run shot off Carlos Rodriguez in the fourth to put San Diego on the board. The shortstop would reach four times on the night and has now recorded multiple hits in three of his last four games. He's also homered in three of his last four and in seven of his last 10, while posting at least one RBI in four straight. Rotowire.com Today, 6:45 am
