  • Out of lineup again
    Renfroe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: For the third time in four games, the right-handed-hitting Renfroe will take a seat against a right-handed starting pitcher. Though he's posted a .797 OPS over his last 14 games, Renfroe looks to be moving into more of a part-time role in right field. Adam Frazier will get the nod in right field Sunday.

  • Taking seat Sunday
    Montero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Montero started the previous six games but will head to the bench Sunday after batting .167 during that span. Kris Bryant will shift to first base while Bredan Rodgers serves as the designated hitter and Alan Trejo starts at second base. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Tauchman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Tauchman started the previous five games and will take a seat Sunday after he went 5-for-20 with a double, an RBI and three runs during that stretch. Christopher Morel will serve as Chicago's designated hitter Sunday while David Bote starts at third base. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Will Smith gets Sunday off again vs. Rockies
    Will Smith is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Smith almost always gets Sunday off, and this won’t be an exception. The 29-year-old slugger will take a break with Austin Barnes behind the plate for the series finale. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
     
  • Nolan Schanuel (thumb) remains out Sunday vs. M’s
    Nolan Schanuel (thumb) is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

    Advice: Schanuel will miss another game while dealing with left thumb soreness. Willie Calhoun is getting the start at first base and hitting cleanup against Luis Castillo. Schanuel should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
     
  • On bench versus lefty
    Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: It's the third straight game on the bench for the 26-year-old, and this time it comes as lefty Nick Lodolo takes the mound for the Reds. Busch had a hot start to the campaign with a 1.062 OPS in his first 19 contests, but he has a .186/.292/.314 slash line and 38.3 percent strikeout rate in his past 35 games. Patrick Wisdom will start at first base Sunday for the Cubs. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
     
  • Heading back to bench Sunday
    Knizner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Knizner will be back on the bench after he started at catcher in Saturday's 7-0 win, finishing 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run. The start was just his second in the Rangers' last 11 games, as Knizner continues to receive limited playing time behind No. 1 backstop Jonah Heim. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
     
  • Justin Wilson (shoulder) comes off 15-day IL
    Reds activated LHP Justin Wilson off the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Wilson ended up missing just the minimum stint while dealing with tightness in his left shoulder. The southpaw wasn’t terribly effective with a 5.91 ERA over 10 2/3 frames, but he’ll have a chance to work in the middle innings now that he’s back on the roster. Alex Young was sent down to Triple-A to make room. Rotoworld Today, 9:18 am
     
  • Reds option LHP Alex Young to Triple-A
    Reds optioned LHP Alex Young to Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Young gets the boot from the roster to make room for Justin Wilson with Wilson activated off the injured list Sunday. Young will likely be back in a non-relevant role for fantasy players at some point this summer. Rotoworld Today, 9:16 am
