  • Moves into reserve role
    Siani is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Dating back to April 20, Siani had started in all but one of the Cardinals' last 13 games, but his run as an everyday player has likely come to an end with Dylan Carlson (shoulder) returning from the 10-day injured list Sunday. Carlson will start in center field in his first game back from the shelf and should immediately settle into a full-time role. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Gets fourth straight start
    Shewmake will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Shewmake will start in his fourth straight game, with two coming at second base and two at third base. He doesn't seem to be making much of a case to move into a full-time role at any position, however, as he went 0-for-9 over his previous three starts to drop his season-long slash line down to .140/.154/.240 over his 52 plate appearances.

  • Activated for Sunday's start
    The Diamondbacks activated Nelson (elbow) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Padres on Sunday.

    Advice: The right-hander has been sidelined the past couple weeks by an elbow bruise but is rejoining Arizona's rotation Sunday. Nelson could face some minor workload limitations given he hasn't pitched in a game since April 18. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Getting rest Sunday
    Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Lee will hit the bench for the series finale after he caught all 10 innings of Saturday's 6-5 win while going 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI. Martin Maldonado will draw the nod behind the plate Sunday. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • On bench for second straight game
    Dubon is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Dubon is on the bench for a second straight game and seems to have moved into a part-time role after he had drawn starts in the outfield in each of the first three games of May. The Astros have a regular opening in left field with Chas McCormick (hamstring) moving to the injured list, but rookie Joey Loperfido looks to have an edge on the gig, leaving Dubon to vie with Jake Meyers and Trey Cabbage for playing time at the other outfield spot while Kyle Tucker is locked in as the everyday right fielder.

  • Dodgers activate Blake Treinen (lung) off IL
    Dodgers activated RHP Blake Treinen off the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Treinen is back as anticipated, which is good news. The bad news is the right-hander returns while Evan Phillips is placed on the injured list with a hamstring strain. Now that Treinen is back in the fold, he could see save chances in the coming weeks with Phillips unavailable. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
     
  • Settling in as regular first baseman
    Singleton will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Mariners, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Rather than Singleton, the recent arrival of prospect Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Land has been most detrimental to outfielders Mauricio Dubon and Jake Meyers. In fact, with Jose Abreu getting optioned to the minors and with Loperfido seeing all of his opportunities to date in left field and center field, Singleton has settled into a regular role at first base for Houston. He'll stay in the lineup for a sixth straight contest after going 4-for-16 with a pair of home runs and walks over the previous five games. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Not in Sunday's lineup
    Haniger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Houston.

    Advice: Haniger started the previous five games but will hit the bench Sunday after he went 2-for-20 during that stretch. Josh Rojas will receive a start in the outfield while Luis Urias starts at third base. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Gets third straight start
    Miranda will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Carlos Correa's return from the 10-day injured list Monday appeared to have pushed Miranda back into a reserve role, but the 25-year-old has since seen his playing time pick back up after Byron Buxton (knee) landed on the IL on Friday. With Willi Castro shifting to the outfield to cover for Buxton, Miranda has started at the hot corner in all three games this weekend. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
