  • Sitting in series finale
    Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Cabrera went 0-for-2 in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Rays and is slashing just .200/.246/.262 over his last 20 games. He finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games and could be losing hold of his regular role at third base. Jon Berti will fill in for Cabrera once again Sunday.

  • Christopher Morel (knee) back in lineup Sunday
    Christopher Morel (knee) is hitting fifth and playing third base against the Pirates.

    Advice: Morel left Saturday’s game with right knee soreness, but it was purely precautionary, and he’ll get the start against the Bucs on Sunday. Morel has played relatively well in May with four homers, but his .220 average on the season is a bit of a disappointment. Rotoworld Today, 8:20 am
     
  • Back in action Sunday
    Morel (knee) will start at third base and bat cleanup Sunday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Morel exited in the fifth inning of Saturday's 10-9 loss to Pittsburgh with right knee soreness after he appeared to get hurt on a stolen base attempt in the top of the third. The injury looks to be a minor one, however, given that the 24-year-old is back in the lineup a day later. Morel has gone 8-for-34 with four home runs, 11 RBI and two stolen bases in May.

  • Sitting Sunday
    Turner is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Minnesota.

    Advice: Turner will get a day off in the series finale as the Blue Jays hand Daniel Vogelbach a start at designated hitter in his stead. The 39-year-old has gone hitless over his last three games and is 3-for-30 with two runs and one RBI in May. Rotowire.com Today, 7:58 am

  • Michael Busch gets Sunday off vs. Pirates
    Michael Busch is not in the lineup for Sunday’s tilt against the Pirates.

    Advice: Busch will get a break against left-hander Bailey Falter and the Pirates for Sunday’s finale. Patrick Wisdom will instead start at first and hit cleanup against Falter and the Bucs. Rotoworld Today, 7:52 am
     
  • Justin Turner not starting Sunday against Twins
    Justin Turner is not in the lineup for Sunday’s contest against the Twins.

    Advice: Turner went 0-for-9 in the first two games of the series against the Twins and is hitting just .100 with a .229 OPS in the month of May. The 39-year-old grabs a seat on the bench for the finale with Daniel Vogelbach hitting sixth and operating as the designated hitter. Rotoworld Today, 7:35 am

  • Heading to bench Sunday
    Miranda is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Willi Castro will get the nod at third base Sunday, but Miranda had manned the hot corner each of the past five games while going 5-for-18 with two doubles and a walk. Until Byron Buxton (knee) returns from the injured list, Castro should see most of his starts in the outfield, creating an opening for Miranda to carve out at least semi-regular playing time at third base.

  • Swats homer in loss
    De La Cruz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Giants.

    Advice: De La Cruz launched his ninth home run in the fourth inning for the Reds' lone run. He entered Saturday with multiple steals in three straight games but was never in position to extend the baserunning streak. The dynamic infielder has hit safely in three straight (5-for-10) and is batting .272 with a .910 OPS over 158 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 6:05 am
     
  • Records two hits, stolen base
    Keith went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Astros. He also stole a base.

    Advice: Keith didn't start Friday with Houston deploying lefty Framber Valdez, but the second baseman returned Saturday and extended his hitting streak to three games. It's a small bit of progress for Keith, as the 22-year-old rookie is batting just .174 for the season. Expect the Tigers to remain patient with Keith, however, and give the talented youngster plenty of chances to settle in at the MLB level. Rotowire.com Today, 5:58 am
