  • 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 12 minutes ago
     
  • 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 50 minutes ago

  • Red Sox place Romy Gonzalez (hamstring) on IL
    Red Sox placed INF Romy Gonzalez on the 15-day injured list with a hamstrings train.

    Advice: Gonzalez will sit out the next week-plus while recovering. The Red Sox selected the contract of Jamie Westbrook from Triple-A Worcester to take Gonzalez’s place on the roster. Rotoworld Today, 8:23 am

  • Idle versus southpaw
    Gordon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: The lefty hitter will get a break as Texas sends southpaw Andrew Heaney out to the bump for the series finale. Gordon will cede left field duties to Bryan De La Cruz who will bat second. Rotowire.com Today, 8:13 am

  • Lands on IL with hamstring strain
    The Red Sox placed Gonzalez on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Gonzalez was one of two Boston infielders to hit the shelf Sunday with a hamstring injury, as Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) was also deactivated. The lefty-hitting Enmanuel Valdez is expected to occupy the strong side of a platoon at second base while Grissom is on the IL, but Gonzalez might have been the preferred option at the keystone against left-handed pitching had he not strained his hamstring. Jamie Westbrook -- whose contract was selected from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday -- now profiles as a likely platoon mate for Valdez at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 7:21 am

  • Placed on IL
    Pittsburgh placed Williams on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right wrist sprain, retroactive to May 30.

    Advice: Williams will hit the injured list and be moved off the active roster after being called up to the Pirates earlier in May. This move will concurrently bring righty Quinn Priester up to the majors in time to get the start on the bump Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 7:18 am

  • Moves to IL
    The Red Sox placed Grissom (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

    Advice: Though the right hamstring strain that forced Grissom out of Saturday's 6-3 win over the Tigers is considered mild, he'll still need at least a week and a half to make a full recovery from the injury before rejoining Boston's 26-man active roster. The Red Sox selected the contract of Jamie Westbrook from Triple-A Worcester to bolster the team's depth in the middle infield in the short term, but Enmanuel Valdez and David Hamilton may be more likely options to pick up starts at second base while Grissom is on the mend.
