  • Scratched with illness
    Perez was scratched from the lineup Sunday against the Yankees due to an illness, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Perez was penciled in for his seventh consecutive start but will instead hit the bench due to an illness. He should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Cleveland. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • Sitting in second straight game
    Mead is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Mead will sit against a right-handed starting pitcher for the second time in as many days and seems to have lost hold of a regular role at second base after slashing just .218/.269/.276 through 93 plate appearances on the season. The Rays' infield picture will become more crowded if Jonathan Aranda (finger) is activated from the 10-day injured list during the upcoming week, so Mead could be sent back to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move so he can get regular playing time.

  • Back in bench role
    Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Taylor is back on the bench for the third time in four games after he recently wrapped up a stretch of five consecutive starts in the Mets outfield. All of Brandon Nimmo, Starling Marte and Harrison Bader are healthy and available, so Taylor will remain limited to a fourth-outfielder role for the foreseeable future.

  • Held out of Sunday's lineup
    Langford (hamstring) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Kansas City.

    Advice: The 22-year-old departed Saturday's contest due to right hamstring tightness and will miss at least one start. Corey Seager will serve as the DH while Langford sits on Sunday, as Josh Smith starts at shortstop and Ezequiel Duran at third base. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Getting rest Sunday
    Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Nido will get a breather for the series finale after he caught both of the Mets' previous two games. Omar Narvaez will replace Nido behind the plate and will bat ninth. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Resting Sunday
    Taylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Taylor will hit the bench for Sunday's series finale after he manned center field in both of the previous two days while going 0-for-5 with a walk. Jack Suwinski replaces Taylor in the lineup as the Pirates' starting center fielder. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
     
  • Swats pair of doubles Saturday
    Garver went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and another two-bagger in a win over the Astros on Saturday.

    Advice: Garver plated Jorge Polanco with his fourth-inning double, giving him his fourth RBI over the last seven games. The veteran offseason acquisition's solid performance Saturday notwithstanding, the early portion of his Mariners tenure qualifies as a considerable disappointment that's illustrated by his anemic .152/.262/.315 slash line and 32.7 percent strikeout rate across 107 plate appearances.

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

    Advice: After starting both of the past two games while going 1-for-8 at the dish, McCutchen appears to getting a breather for Sunday's afternoon contest. With McCutchen on the bench, Edward Olivares will enter the lineup as the Pirates' designated hitter. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. not starting Sunday vs. Padres
    Lourdes Gurriel is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Padres.

    Advice: Gurriel Jr. gets a rare day off for the Sunday finale against the Padres. While he rests the Diamondbacks will have Jake McCarthy hit leadoff and play left field. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
