    • Michael Conforto (hamstring) remains out Sunday
      Michael Conforto (hamstring) remains out of the lineup Sunday against the Reds.

      Advice: Conforto left Saturday’s game with a hamstring strain, and he’ll sit for at least one contest while recovering from the injury. The 31-year-old sits with Heliot Ramos getting a start in left field. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
       
    • Not starting Sunday
      Conforto (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Reds, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Conforto left in the bottom of the fourth inning in Saturday's 5-1 win, and Giants manager Bob Melvin described the right hamstring strain as "mild," per John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle. With Conforto out of the lineup Sunday, Heliot Ramos will start in left field while Patrick Bailey serves as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
       
    • Sitting against southpaw
      Smith is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Rockies.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Smith went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's 8-3 loss. He will begin Sunday's contest on the bench as the Rockies send out southpaw Ty Blach. Ezequiel Duran will fill in for Smith at third base. Rotowire.com Today, 10:19 am

    • Belts another homer Saturday
      Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Athletics on Saturday.

      Advice: Raleigh's 387-foot shot to right center in the second inning served as the first run of the night for either side and also made him the first AL catcher to hit 10 or more homers in his team's first 40 games since 2003. The slugging backstop has cleared the fences four times in the last eight games alone, and he's reached safely on seven occasions overall during that entire span. Rotowire.com Today, 8:46 am
       
    • Swats homer in loss
      De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Giants.

      Advice: De La Cruz launched his ninth home run in the fourth inning for the Reds' lone run. He entered Saturday with multiple steals in three straight games but was never in position to extend the baserunning streak. The dynamic infielder has hit safely in three straight (5-for-10) and is batting .272 with a .910 OPS over 158 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 6:05 am
       
    • Two hits, RBI in loss
      Gurriel went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Orioles.

      Advice: Gurriel singled in the Diamondbacks' final run in the fifth inning. An earlier double extended a hit streak to four games (6-for-18). The modest hit streak is a welcome sign for Gurriel, who endured a 2-for-37 (.054) slump over the nine previous games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:54 am
       
    • Charged with blown save
      Ginkel allowed one run on one hit over one inning and was charged with a blown save in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Orioles.

      Advice: With the Diamondbacks ahead, 4-3, Ginkel entered to start the eighth inning and dispatched the first two batters with ease before Anthony Santander squared up a fastball outside the zone for a game-tying home run. It was the third blown save of the season for Ginkel, who was moved back to a setup role when Paul Sewald was activated off the injured list last week. Ginkel has a 3.31 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with four walks and 15 strikeouts over 16.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 5:45 am
       
    • Cal Raleigh goes deep in blowout loss to A’s
      Cal Raleigh slugged his 10th home run of the season on Saturday in the Mariners’ loss to the Athletics.

      Advice: Raleigh went deep for the first time since walloping a pinch-hit grand slam earlier this week against the Twins, taking Athletics rookie Joey Estes deep to right-center field in the second inning. The 27-year-old switch-hitting backstop doesn’t offer much in the batting average department, but he’s hitting for a ton of over-the-fence pop right now. Rotoworld Today, 4:42 am
       
    • Rhys Hoskins swats go-ahead homer vs. Cardinals
      Rhys Hoskins connected for a go-ahead three-run homer on Saturday, lifting the Brewers to a 5-3 comeback win over the Cardinals.

      Advice: Hoskins lifted a 407-foot shot to right-center field — his ninth big fly of the season — off Cardinals veteran reliever Andrew Kittredge in the seventh inning to put Milwaukee ahead for good in a low-scoring showdown. The 31-year-old slugger has started to really heat up recently, going deep three times over his last four games. Rotoworld Today, 3:34 am
