Player Notes

  • Sitting versus southpaw
    Gallo is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

    Advice: Gallo had started 10 straight games since returning from the injured list, but he will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench as Atlanta goes with Max Fried as its starting pitcher. Joey Meneses will cover first base. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
  • Getting day off
    Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Boston.

    Advice: After making five straight starts, Mountcastle will take a seat Tuesday. The first baseman has generated a hit in six straight games, going 11-for-25 (.440) with five runs scored and four doubles. Ryan O'Hearn will play first base and bat third while Kyle Stowers fills out the DH spot and bats seventh. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
  • Yandy Diaz moves down to second spot vs. A’s
    Yandy Diaz is hitting second and playing first base versus the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Advice: Diaz has 231 plate appearances thus far in 2024, and 223 of those have come in the leadoff spot. He’s hit just .254 with a .686 from that spot, however, so Tampa Bay will move the 32-year-old down a spot in the lineup. Richie Palacios is leading off and playing right field against Mitch Spence and the A’s on Tuesday. Rotoworld Today, 12:16 pm
  • Takes seat against lefty
    Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Kansas City.

    Advice: Kirilloff will dodge a matchup with the lefty-throwing Cole Ragans on Tuesday. Carlos Santana will bat eighth and play first base. Rotowire.com Today, 12:11 pm
  • Absent from starting nine
    Urshela is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: The Tigers will reward Matt Vierling's two-homer performance Sunday by giving him another start at the hot corner, pushing Urshela out of the starting lineup against Jared Jones. Urshela is slashing .273/.312/.318 without a home run across 93 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:53 am
  • DFA'd by Oakland
    The Athletics designated Nevin for assignment Tuesday.

    Advice: Nevin had a strong start to his campaign for the Athletics with an .875 OPS through his first 25 games, but a 1-for-43 slump will end up costing him his place on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster. Aledmys Diaz (calf) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 11:31 am

    Diaz (calf) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Diaz has missed the first two months of the 2024 campaign with a strained right calf he sustained in early March. He appeared in 10 games at Triple-A during his rehab assignment and slashed .154/.313/.308 with six walks and five strikeouts in 32 plate appearances. He figures to compete with Max Schuemann and Abraham Toro for work at shortstop and third base. Rotowire.com Today, 11:29 am

  • DJ LeMahieu will hit ninth, play third in return
    DJ LeMahieu will hit ninth and play third base in his return from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: LeMahieu will make his season debut after missing exactly two months of the season with a fracture in his right foot. The 35-year-old could have some rust to shake off from such a long absence — even with a lengthy rehab assignment — but hitting ninth will give him a chance to be driven in by the top of the New York lineup.

  • Absent from lineup
    Vientos is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Dodgers.

    Advice: It will be Brett Baty handling third base and being tasked with trying to solve right-hander Tyler Glasnow. Vientos figures to be in the lineup for the nightcap against Gavin Stone. Rotowire.com Today, 9:37 am
