  • J.T. Realmuto not starting Sunday vs. Angels
    J.T. Realmuto is not in the lineup against the Angels on Monday.

    Advice: Realmuto gets a rest after hitting a homer and picking up three RBI Sunday against the Padres. Garrett Stubbs will start and hit eighth while Realmuto gets a chance to rest. Rotoworld Today, 3:07 pm
     
  • Beginning on bench Monday
    Trevino is not in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup against Baltimore.

    Advice: Trevino had a big game in New York's 15-5 rout of the Brewers on Sunday, going 2-for-4 with a run and three RBI. However, he's ceding the start behind the plate to Austin Wells on Monday. Trevino has put up far better offensive numbers this season, but Wells continues to get slightly more playing time -- over New York's past eight games, Wells has started behind the plate on five occasions while Trevino has gotten three starts.

  • Scratched with back tightness
    Perez was scratched from Monday's lineup versus the Blue Jays due to back tightness, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Perez had been slated to catch and bat cleanup, but now Freddy Fermin will be behind the plate and Nelson Velazquez will move up to the cleanup spot. Consider Perez day-to-day. Rotowire.com Today, 2:32 pm

  • Royals scratch Salvador Perez with back tightness
    Salvador Perez was scratched from Monday’s lineup due to back tightness.

    Advice: Perez has been off to an excellent start while leading baseball with 26 RBI and posting an OPS of .990, but he’ll miss at least one game while dealing with the back issue. He should be considered day-to-day at this point, but testing on the 33-year-old is likely. Rotoworld Today, 2:28 pm

  • Retreats to bench Monday
    Sanchez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Sanchez went 3-for-10 with a pair of doubles, a walk, two runs and an RBI while making starts in each of the last three games, with two coming as a designated hitter and one coming at catcher. The Brewers haven't yet shown a willingness to deploy Sanchez at DH on a consistent basis, so he seems likely to remain in a part-time role while top backstop William Contreras is healthy.

  • Absent from lineup
    Herrera is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Detroit.

    Advice: Herrera's bat has slowed and with it so has his playing time, as he's now started just four of the last 10 games and is 0-for-15 at the plate over that span. Willson Contreras is catching Monday, while Paul Goldschmidt is getting a start at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 12:14 pm
     
  • Taking control of catching gig
    Nido will start at catcher and bat ninth Monday against the Cubs, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Nido is behind the plate for the fourth time in five games and appears to be the Mets' preferred option at catcher over Omar Narvaez while Francisco Alvarez (thumb) is on the shelf. Though he's well regarded for his framing and ability to manage the Mets' pitching staff, Nido is a career .213 hitter and offers little power or speed, making him uninteresting for fantasy purposes outside of NL-only leagues.

  • Playing second fiddle to Nido
    Narvaez is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Cubs, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Narvaez started three of the first four games at catcher after Francisco Alvarez (thumb) got hurt and was placed on the injured list, but it's now been Tomas Nido behind the plate for four of the last five contests. The 32-year-old Narvaez is slashing just .204/.271/.284 as a Met since the beginning of last season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:36 am
     
  • Summoned from Triple-A
    The Yankees recalled Narvaez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

    Advice: Narvaez will join the Yankees and provide the team with a third catcher while outfielder Alex Verdugo (personal) is on the paternity list. He will likely be returned to the minors later this week when Verdugo is ready to rejoin the 26-man active roster. Rotowire.com Today, 10:46 am
