  • Sitting against lefty
    Sanchez is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Philadelphia.

    Advice: Left-hander Cristopher Sanchez is toeing the slab for the Phillies, so the lefty-hitting Sanchez will take a seat. Dane Myers will patrol right field for the Marlins. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:26 pm
     
  • Marlins sit Chisholm, Sánchez against tough lefty
    The Marlins have both Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jesús Sánchez on the bench for Friday’s game against Cristopher Sánchez and the Phillies.

    Advice: Both players have been starting against most southpaws as of late, but Cristopher Sánchez has really carved up left-handed hitters this year, limiting them to a .459 OPS. As a result, Vidal Bruján is getting the start in center, and Dane Myers, making his first start since June 15, is playing right. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:23 pm
     
  • Jose Iglesias remains on bench Friday
    Jose Iglesias is out of the Mets lineup in favor of Jeff McNeil for a fifth straight game Friday.

    Advice: McNeil had a sac fly in five plate appearances during last night’s 12-2 rout, buying him at least another week of starts. Iglesias is hitting .400/.447/.457 in 38 plate appearances, the last of which came six days ago. He probably will get a start Saturday with the Mets due to face a lefty.

  • Held out again Friday
    Lowe (toe) remains out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Lowe hasn't played since suffering a fractured right pinky toe June 22. The Rays are facing a lefty in Mitchell Parker on Friday, so Lowe might not have been in the lineup anyway. If he remains out Saturday against righty Jake Irvin, a stint on the injured list may have to be considered. Jose Caballero is at second base Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:07 pm
     
  • Brandon Lowe on bench again Friday
    Brandon Lowe (toe) isn’t starting for Friday’s game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Lowe hasn’t played since June 22nd after breaking his pinkie toe. He also battled an illness earlier this week. Tampa Bay is also facing a left-hander starter in Mitchell Parker. The Rays haven’t put Lowe on the IL yet so hopefully he can return to the lineup soon. Jose Caballero will get the start at second base and bat seventh on Friday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:03 pm
     
  • Idle against RHP
    Dahl is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Miami.

    Advice: Dahl had been on the bench in two of the Phillies' previous three games, though each came against a left-handed pitcher. On Friday, righty Kyle Tyler will toe the rubber for Miami, but the lefty-hitting Dahl still won't crack the starting nine. Whit Merrifield, Johan Rojas and Brandon Marsh fill the outfield from left to right. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:53 am

  • Not in Thursday's lineup
    Rocchio is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest in Kansas City.

    Advice: The Guardians are opting for Gabriel Arias at shortstop in their series opener against the Royals. Rocchio has been one of the lightest-hitting regulars in baseball this season, slashing an anemic .211/.312/.299. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:00 pm
     
  • Smashes grand slam
    Bauers went 1-for-4 with a grand slam during Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Rangers in 10 innings.

    Advice: Bauers got the Brewers on the board in the third inning, plating Jackson Chourio, Christian Yelich and Willy Adames on a grand slam off Nathan Eovaldi. The grand slam was the second of Bauers' career. Though he's been splitting time with Rhys Hoskins at first base, Bauers is batting .273 with nine RBI and seven runs in his last 18 games.

  • Managing neck issue
    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Ortiz was removed from Wednesday's win over the Rangers due to a neck injury, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: The injury apparently surfaced during last week's series against the Angels, and it prompted his removal from Wednesday's contest in the sixth inning after going 0-for-2. Ortiz's ability to play through the issue indicates it isn't a serious concern, so he could be back in action Friday versus the Cubs following Thursday's team off day. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:29 pm
