  • On bench against righty
    Joe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Joe is sitting against a right-handed starting pitcher (Dakota Hudson) for the second time in four games, perhaps indicating that his standing as an everyday player could be on shaky ground. After producing a .794 OPS through the first two months of the season, Joe is slashing .167/.271/.310 since the beginning of June. Rotowire.com Today, 11:48 am

  • Ty France (heel) to take BP before Sunday’s game
    Ty France (heel) ran the bases before Sunday’s game against the Rangers.

    Advice: France will also take part in batting practice prior to the game. The 29-year-old has been on the shelf since last Sunday with a fracture in his right heel. The infielder has a chance to return in the next few days if he continues to make progress, and likely won’t need a rehab assignment. Rotoworld Today, 11:17 am

  • Taking seat Sunday
    Hoskins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: He'll get a breather for the day game after he started in the first two games of the series while going 0-for-8 with five strikeouts. Jake Bauers will fill in for Hoskins at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 11:05 am

  • Getting Sunday off
    Fry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Fry will rest after he had started each of the past seven games at catcher or in the corner outfield while going 6-for-26 at the dish. His absence Sunday opens up a spot in the lineup at designated hitter for Kyle Manzardo, who had been on the bench for each of the past three contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:45 am

  • Back in lineup as DH
    Perez (knee) is in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Perez is battling a right knee sprain, but it's said to be relatively minor and he will tough it out Sunday as the designated hitter. It's uncertain when he may return to catching duties. The team recalled Austin Nola on Saturday and Nola's presence on the roster affords Perez and the Royals some time to get him right before he slots back in behind the plate.

  • Salvador Perez (knee) back in lineup Sunday
    Salvador Perez (knee) is back in the lineup as the designated hitter Sunday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Perez was removed Friday after experiencing discomfort in his right knee, and while the backstop did miss Saturday’s game, he’s feeling well enough to be the designated hitter and hit cleanup against the Dodgers in the final game of the three-game set. Great news for all parties involved. Rotoworld Today, 10:16 am
     
  • Exiting starting nine
    Solano is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Solano had started each of the last eight games -- with seven coming at third base -- and went 5-for-29 with two home runs, three walks, six RBI and four runs. He should continue to have a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching, but Solano's opportunities to play against righties will likely become more limited now that Manny Machado is playing third base again after he had relegated to designated-hitter duties recently following his return from a right hip flexor strain.

  • Takes seat for first game Sunday
    Brown is not in the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins.

    Advice: Brown is in a bad way at the plate -- he's just 3-for-his-last-35 -- but regardless he should be back in there to face right-hander Chris Paddack in the second game of the twin bill. Daz Cameron will get the start in right field in the matinee. Rotowire.com Today, 8:56 am

  • On bench Sunday
    Turner is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: George Springer will get the start at DH as Addison Barger takes over in right field against right-hander Ben Lively. Age has caught up to Turner in a hurry -- he's slashing .225/.314/.345 with four home runs this season -- and the veteran will likely continue to receive regular rest days as the Blue Jays work in newcomers like Barger and Spencer Horwitz.
