  • William Contreras gets day off Sunday vs. Padres
    William Contreras is not in the lineup for Sunday’s series finale against the Pirates.

    Advice: It appears to be a routine off day for Conteras after handling the catching duties in three consecutive contests. The 26-year-old has put together a phenomenal season so far, batting .293/.354/.443 with nine homers and five steals across 339 plate appearances over 75 contests. It’ll be Gary Sánchez behind the plate in his absence. Rotoworld Jun 23, 10:47 am
     
  • Sitting vs. lefty
    Naylor is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Toronto.

    Advice: Naylor will begin Sunday's game in the dugout with the Blue Jays sending southpaw Yusei Kikuchi to the mound. Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win. David Fry will start behind home plate Sunday and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Jun 23, 10:30 am
     
  • Tyler Stephenson back in lineup Sunday vs. Red Sox
    Tyler Stephenson is back in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Stephenson is back handling the catching duties on Sunday afternoon following a three-game absence due to an undisclosed matter. Rotoworld Jun 23, 9:00 am
     
  • Pushed off 40-man
    The Reds designated Wynns for assignment Sunday.

    Advice: Just two days after having his contract selected from Louisville, Wynns will once again lose his spot on the 40-man roster without appearing in a game for the Reds. With a .726 OPS in the minors, it's possible he receives some attention on the waiver wire, but his .597 career OPS in the majors makes it likely he gets sent outright to Louisville. Livan Soto was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Jun 23, 8:13 am
     
  • Reds designate Austin Wynns for assignment
    Reds designated C Austin Wynns for assignment.

    Advice: Wynns was up for a couple days with Cincinnati as emergency catching depth with Tyler Stephenson not playing. The 33-year-old backstop will likely pass through waivers unclaimed and return to Triple-A Louisville as extra organizational depth. Rotoworld Jun 23, 8:06 am
     
  • Back in lineup Sunday
    Stephenson (undisclosed) is starting at catcher and batting fifth Sunday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Stephenson missed two consecutive starts due to an undisclosed injury, though he was able to appear as a pinch hitter during Saturday's loss. He'll now return to his usual place behind the dish and look to turn things around after recording just two hits in his last 10 games. Rotowire.com Jun 23, 7:44 am
     
  • Chance to return Monday
    Davis (concussion) has resumed most baseball activities, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Davis has been on the 7-day injured list since June 14 and had continued to experience some mild symptoms as of Friday. As a result, the earliest he will be activated from the IL is Monday, though his absence could extend beyond that. Rotowire.com Jun 22, 11:27 pm

  • Slugs homer in win
    Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Naylor snapped a 25-game homer drought dating back to May 4. The catcher has struggled at the plate for much of the campaign, but he's gone a respectable 6-for-23 (.261) over his last seven contests. With the Guardians carrying three catchers, Naylor's margin for error at the plate is thin -- he doesn't have the defensive skill of Austin Hedges or the offensive consistency of David Fry in his favor. Naylor is slashing .184/.253/.291 with four homers, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base over 174 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Jun 22, 7:12 pm
     
  • Enters as pinch hitter
    Stephenson (undisclosed) fouled out in his only plate appearance during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Stephenson has been dealing with an undisclosed injury, but he was called upon to pinch hit for Luke Maile on Saturday. While Stephenson wasn't well enough to start the contest, it's certainly encouraging that he was able to take an at-bat. Rotowire.com Jun 22, 6:03 pm
