  • Getting fourth straight start
    Triolo will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Triolo will pick up his fourth straight start, but two came while shortstop Oneil Cruz was sitting out due to a sore ankle. Cruz is back in the lineup Sunday, but Triolo will get the nod at third base in place of a resting Ke'Bryan Hayes. Expect Triolo to return to a utility role when the Pirates open their series against the Reds on Monday. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Getting breather Sunday
    Grandal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Grandal will rest for the Sunday afternoon game after he went 2-for-4 with an RBI while catching eight innings of Saturday's 16-4 loss. Jason Delay will step in for Grandal behind the plate. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Jordan Lawlar undergoing MRI on hamstring
    Jordan Lawlar is undergoing an MRI on his hamstring after leaving Saturday’s game with Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: Lawlar had just made his way back to Triple-A Reno after missing the start of the season due to surgery on his thumb. The 21-year-old is one of the top prospects in baseball, and if healthy, he has a chance to be a contributor this summer. Unfortunately there’s now questions as to whether that can happen, and he joins a long list of prospects who have dealt with injury at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting in opening game of day
    Langeliers is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Twins.

    Advice: Langeliers will get a breather for the early game of the twin bill as Kyle McCann draws the starting nod behind the dish. Expect Langeliers to check back into the lineup as the Athletics' starting catcher for the nightcap. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting for opening game of twin bill
    Larnach is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Athletics.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Larnach will take a seat for the opening game of the day while southpaw JP Sears takes the hill for Oakland, but expect Larnach to re-enter the starting nine for the nightcap, when right-hander Joey Estes will toe the rubber. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

  • Out for Game 1 of twin bill
    Kepler (elbow) is out of the lineup for the opening game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Athletics.

    Advice: The Twins are facing southpaw JP Sears in the first game of the day, so the lefty-hitting Kepler might not have been included in the lineup even if he wasn't nursing a sore elbow. Kepler could still be a candidate to start in the nightcap, when the Athletics will send right-hander Joey Estes to the hill. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

  • Retreating to bench role
    Caratini is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Caratini had started behind the plate each of the past five games, but he'll be back on the bench for the series finale now that top backstop Yainer Diaz has been cleared to resume catching duties. Diaz had missed three straight games with a sore index finger before returning to the lineup Friday and Saturday as the Astros' designated hitter. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Getting Sunday off
    Malloy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Malloy will head to the bench after he had served as the Tigers' designated hitter for each of the past three games while going 3-for-12 with a home run, a double and three RBI. The 24-year-old is providing a decent amount of power (three extra-base hits) in his first taste of the majors, but he's hitting just .188 with a 38.5 percent strikeout rate through 39 plate appearances. Malloy's hold on an everyday role could be tenuous, and he may be headed back to Triple-A Toledo if his playing time slips in the days to come. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
     
  • Removed from 40-man roster
    Ellis was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Sunday.

    Advice: Chuckie Robinson will take Ellis' place on the 40-man roster. Ellis appeared in eight games with the White Sox recently but only logged four at-bats. He's spent most of his time this season with Double-A Birmingham, slashing .258/.341/.308 across 141 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 10:57 am
