  • Josh Rojas taking seat against lefty Monday
    Josh Rojas is not in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Rojas is currently on a platoon with Luis Urias, and it’ll be Urias manning the hot corner with left-hander Max Fried on the bump for Atlanta. Seattle will also have Sam Haggerty in left field against the southpaw after recalling the versatile infielder/outfielder from Triple-A Tacoma. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago

  • Miguel Sanó (knee) absent Monday against Phillies
    Miguel Sanó is out of the lineup Monday against the Phillies.

    Advice: Sanó will miss at least one more game while dealing with soreness in his left knee. Ehire Adrianza is getting the start at third base while Sanó gets better. Rotoworld Today, 3:16 pm

  • Hits bench Monday
    Mead is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Mead had started at second or third base in each of the past 11 games, producing only two extra-base hits while getting on base at a .238 clip over that stretch. Though the 23-year-old remains one of the Rays' top prospects, he could be at risk of losing out on an everyday role once either Jonathan Aranda (finger) or Brandon Lowe (oblique) return from the 10-day injured list. In addition to Aranda and Lowe, Junior Caminero is back to full health at Triple-A Durham and has been sizzling at the plate of late, potentially making him a candidate to join the big club if the Rays want to swap out one infield prospect for another.

  • Swats first homer Sunday
    Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

    Advice: Rengifo's two-run blast was a key part of a four-run fifth inning for the Halos, but Minnesota pulled away late to drop the Angels' record to 10-18. Rengifo has been a locked-in part of the team's lineup of late, starting five straight games at either second or third base. Since April 17, the utility man is slashing .343/.425/.514 with one homer, five RBI, six runs and three stolen bases over 11 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 3:11 pm

  • Out again Monday
    Sano (knee) remains out of the lineup for Monday's game versus the Phillies.

    Advice: It's the third straight game Sano has been on the bench due to a left knee issue which has plagued him for the better part of a week. Cole Tucker is at designated hitter and Brandon Drury and Ehire Adrianza will handle the corner infield spots for the Angels on Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:57 pm

  • Gets fourth straight start
    Farmer will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Farmer is included in the lineup for a fourth straight game, but his ongoing presence in the starting nine is a byproduct of the Twins facing three left-handed starting pitchers during that stretch. The 33-year-old is still expected to hit the bench when the Twins oppose right-handers more often than not. Rotowire.com Today, 12:37 pm

  • Returning after one-game absence
    Westburg (illness) will start at second base and bat seventh in Monday's game versus the Yankees.

    Advice: Westburg sat out Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Athletics because of a stomach bug, but he's feeling well enough to return to the lineup a day later. The 25-year-old has produced a .903 OPS in 25 games for the Orioles this season. Rotowire.com Today, 12:36 pm
     
  • Resting Monday
    Brujan is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Brujan will hit the bench for the series finale after he had started at third base in each of Miami's last three games while going 6-for-11 with two triples, three runs and one RBI. Though Emmanuel Rivera will get the nod at the hot corner Monday, Brujan's hot hitting of late should gave him the leg up in terms of playing time at the position until Jake Burger (intercostal) returns from the 10-day injured list.

  • Tigers reinstate Andy Ibáñez from the IL
    Tigers activated INF Andy Ibáñez from the injured list.

    Advice: Ibáñez was off to a solid start, hitting .267/.235/.267 across his first seven games while playing mainly second base or third base. In his absence, Matt Vierling has played well, and it’s unclear just what kind of role Ibáñez will be coming back to. More than likely, he’ll be a versatile bench piece for the Tigers. Buddy Kennedy was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Today, 12:00 pm
