    • Ryan Mountcastle sits due to illness
      Ryan Mountcastle didn’t play Sunday because he was ill, according to manager Brandon Hyde.

      Advice: Mountcastle also didn’t play Saturday, but since he occasionally sits against right-handers, that went without any explanation. That he was absent tonight against a lefty demanded one. There was no additional comment about whether the Orioles expected him to return Tuesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:31 pm

    • Dealing with illness
      Mountcastle was unavailable for Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Rangers due to an illness, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

      Advice: Mountcastle's absence from the lineup was a surprising one Sunday considering his impressive .306/.359/.494 slash line against left-handed pitchers this season, but manager Brandon Hyde clarified after the contest that Mountcastle was feeling under the weather. With Baltimore off Monday, there's a good chance that Mountcastle will be ready to go for the team's series opener in Seattle on Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:20 pm

    • Re-entering rotation Wednesday
      Jones is listed as the Pirates' starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals at PNC Park.

      Advice: Jones will slot back into the rotation for the first time since June 22 after the Pirates opted to skip his turn this past week. The decision to bypass Jones' turn wasn't based on any injury; instead, the Pirates are cognizant of keeping the 23-year-old right-hander's workload in check during his first season in the majors. The Pirates haven't offered up a firm innings limit for Jones in 2024 nor outlined their plans on when/if he might be skipped again, but fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to keep him active when he's confirmed to start. Though he's had more trouble keeping walks in check in his recent starts compared to earlier in the campaign, Jones will still head into his 16th start of the season Wednesday with stellar ratios (3.66 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, 19.4 K-BB%).

    • McMahon steals base, scores twice in win Sunday
      Ryan McMahon went 1-for-5 with two runs scored and a stolen base against the White Sox on Sunday.

      Advice: McMahon’s stolen base was his third of the year. He started the scoring as he came around on a Garrett Crochet balk in the second inning and scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Michael Toglia in the 14th inning. McMahon is hitting .270 with an .812 OPS, 14 home runs and 42 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:46 pm

    • Ramirez drives in run in loss to Royals Sunday
      Jose Ramirez went 1-for-4 with a run scored, a double and an RBI against the Royals on Sunday.

      Advice: Ramirez hit an RBI double in the eighth inning to make it 6-1 Royals and scored on Josh Naylor’s RBI single to give us the final score of 6-2. Ramirez continues his ridiculous RBI pace as he now has 76 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:17 pm
       
    • Picks up 16th save
      Jansen earned the save Sunday against San Diego, striking out one batter during a perfect ninth inning.

      Advice: Jansen was lights-out, and he has now converted on 12 straight save chances. It was his seventh straight appearance without allowing a run. He's been fantastic as of late, with a 0.70 ERA over his last 12 appearances. The 36-year-old has converted 16 of 17 save chances this season and will carry a 2.22 ERA and 1.02 WHIP into July.

    • Kenley Jansen picks up 16th save
      Kenley Jansen notched his 16th save with a scoreless ninth Sunday against the Padres.

      Advice: Making his first appearance in six days, Jansen turned in his seventh straight scoreless appearance. His last nine outings have resulted in seven saves and two wins. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:38 pm
       
    • Sitting versus lefty
      Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: The 27-year-old's omission from the lineup is surprising since southpaw Andrew Heaney is taking the mound for Texas. Mountcastle has an .853 OPS versus lefties this season and was also held out of the lineup for Saturday's contest, so it's possible he's dealing with an injury or illness, though nothing has been reported at this point. The lefty-hitting Ryan O'Hearn will instead start at first base Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:16 pm

    • Ryan Mountcastle out again Sunday vs. Rangers
      Ryan Mountcastle is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rangers.

      Advice: This makes back-to-back games Mountcastle has missed, but there’s been no injury update. The first baseman will get another day off with Ryan O’Hearn starting at first base and Heston Kjerstad as the designated hitter. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:24 pm
