  • Losing out to Jose Abreu
    Singleton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: For the third time in four matchups with a right-handed starting pitcher (Simeon Woods Richardson), the lefty-hitting Singleton finds himself on the bench. Though he initially looked poised to hold down a strong-side platoon role at first base when the right-handed-hitting Jose Abreu was recalled from Triple-A Sugar Land on Monday, Singleton appears to have since moved into a pure reserve role.

  • Sitting in second straight game
    Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Diaz will give way to Victor Caratini behind the plate for the second day in a row while he's in the midst of a prolonged slump at the plate. Dating back to May 1, Diaz is slashing .200/.213/.259 over a stretch of 25 games. Given that he's valued mainly for his contributions at the plate rather than as a pitch framer and game caller, Diaz's lengthy dry spell with the bat looks to be costing him playing time. The Astros have already pulled back on using Diaz as a designated hitter on days he doesn't catch; he started seven games at DH between March and April, but he hasn't made a start as a DH since May 17.

  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr. playing third base Sunday
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is playing third base and hitting third Sunday against the Pirates.

    Advice: It’s the first time Guerrero Jr. has drawn a start at third base since 2019. The 25-year-old has been working at the position during pregame festivities all season, but now he has a chance to man the hot corner for real. This will be interesting to watch, and it’d obviously be a major boon to his fantasy profile if he can get enough games at the position to qualify. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
     
  • Resting Sunday
    Hoskins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Hoskins will get a break from the starting lineup after going 3-for-9 in the first two games of Milwaukee's series against the White Sox. Jake Bauers will get the start at first base and bat sixth. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Red Sox bring back Bobby Dalbec from Triple-A
    Red Sox recalled INF Bobby Dalbec from Triple-A Worcester.

    Advice: It’s the corresponding transaction to Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) heading to the injured list. Dalbec has flashed the talent that made him a borderline Top 100 prospect at times, but not consistently enough to suggest there’s fantasy upside in his right-handed bat. Rotoworld 50 minutes ago

  • Draws first start at 3B since 2019
    Guerrero will start at third base and bat third in Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: According to Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, Guerrero has been taking grounders at third base in workouts all season, but he was believed to be more of an emergency option at the position after he had seen the bulk of his starts at first base or designated hitter over the past four-plus seasons. Regular third baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa is healthy, however, and will get the start at second base Sunday, so Guerrero's inclusion at the hot corner could signal that the Blue Jays may be willing to give him more regular work at the position moving forward. Guerrero will be starting at third base Sunday for the first time since Sept. 27, 2019, with all four innings that he's played at the position since then coming as a replacement for a starter during the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

  • Back with big club
    The Red Sox recalled Dalbec from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

    Advice: After being demoted to Triple-A in early May, Dalbec heated up at the plate during his time at Worcester, slashing .253/.336/.526 with seven home runs in his last 24 games prior to his call-up. Dalbec has a long track record of mashing at the Triple-A level, but his massive strikeout rates across various stints in the majors over the last few seasons likely mean that the ship has sailed on him re-emerging as an everyday player for the Red Sox. However, while he's up with the big club, the right-handed-hitting Dalbec could occupy the short side of a platoon at first base or in right field with left-handed hitters Dominic Smith and Wilyer Abreu.

  • Out of lineup Sunday
    Torkelson is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: After recording zero hits in his last 16 at-bats, Torkelson will hit the bench for the second time in the past three games as Detroit wraps up its series against Boston. Gio Urshela will take over first baseman duties and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 7:11 am
     
  • Back in lineup Sunday
    Canha (hip) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Boston.

    Advice: As expected, the veteran will return to the lineup as the designated hitter after missing the last two games with a hip strain. Canha holds a slash line of .247/.358/.401 with 24 RBI and 27 runs this season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:06 am
