  • 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 12 minutes ago
     
  • Getting breather
    Melendez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Despite Kansas City facing a right-hander Tuesday, Melendez will miss the Royals starting nine. Instead, Garrett Hampson will play left field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Gives up four runs in rehab outing
    Tarnok covered 1.2 innings and gave up four earned runs on one hit and two walks in his latest rehab appearance for Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

    Advice: Tarnok has worked as a starter for most of his minor-league career and in his brief time in the big leagues, but Oakland may be preparing him for a relief role upon his return from the 60-day injured list. The 25-year-old righty -- who has been on the shelf all season while recovering from August surgery on his right hip -- has been deployed out of Las Vegas' bullpen in each of his last four rehab appearances. He hasn't recorded more than six outs in any of those appearances and owns a 13.50 ERA and 1.67 WHIP over his five total rehab outings, so Tarnok looks like he'll need more time to iron out the kinks during his rehab assignment before he becomes a realistic option for the Oakland pitching staff in any capacity.

  • Returns to lineup
    Isbel (face) will start in center field and bat ninth in Tuesday's game in Minnesota.

    Advice: Isbel missed two games after fouling a ball off his face over the weekend, but he's feeling well enough to take part in Tuesday's contest. The 27-year-old has just a .599 OPS this season as the Royals' primary center fielder. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • On bench Tuesday
    Frazier is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Frazier will get a day off after making three straight starts following the injury to Michael Massey (back). Nick Loftin will bat sixth and play second base. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Ryan Mountcastle gets Tuesday off vs. Red Sox
    Ryan Mountcastle is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Orioles.

    Advice: Mountcastle will get a day off against Brayan Bello and the Red Sox. Kyle Stowers is the designated hitter for the Orioles with Ryan O’Hearn lined up at first base. Rotoworld 19 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 21 minutes ago

  • Tyler O’Neill (knee) remains out Tuesday vs. O’s
    Tyler O’Neill (knee) is not in the starting lineup against the Orioles on Tuesday.

    Advice: O’Neill will miss his third straight game after being removed from Saturday’s game with right knee soreness. Rob Refsnyder is the designated hitter against Baltimore, and he’ll hit third against Grayson Rodriguez and the Orioles pitching staff. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
