  • Sent to Triple-A
    Madrigal was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Networkreports.

  • Getting afternoon off
    Altuve is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Altuve is on the bench for just the second time all season and the first time since May 12 in what looks to be nothing more than a routine maintenance day. Mauricio Dubon will step in at second base for Altuve, who is currently in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak. Rotowire.com Today, 9:20 am
     
  • Nabs fourth straight start
    Dubon will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: With Jose Altuve getting a breather for the series finale, Dubon will pick up a start out of the middle infield. Though the Astros continue to view Dubon as a utility player, he's stuck in the lineup for four straight games while making starts in left field, right field and at shortstop in addition to the keystone.

  • Retreating to bench role Sunday
    Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Farmer started at second base in Saturday's 5-2 loss, but he'll be back on the bench for the series finale. While Minnesota is at full strength in the infield save for Royce Lewis (quadricep), Farmer will likely be relegated to a short-side platoon role at second base with the lefty-hitting Edouard Julien, who is back in the lineup Sunday.

  • Red Sox place Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) on IL
    Red Sox placed INF Vaughn Grissom on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain.

    Advice: Grissom injured the hamstring during the second inning of Saturday’s game, and it was expected that the 23-year-old would need a stint on the injured list. There’s no word on when Grissom will be back, but for now, Bobby Dalbec is up from Triple-A to take his place on the roster. Rotoworld Today, 8:41 am
