  • Idle against lefty
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Lopez will take a seat while southpaw Jordan Montgomery starts for the Diamondbacks. Danny Mendick will fill in for Lopez at the keystone. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

  • Austin Riley heating up, homers again
    Austin Riley went 2-for-4 with a game-tying two-run home run and two runs scored on Sunday against the Rays.

    Advice: Congratulations to all the fantasy managers who kept their patience with Riley because the hot streak is officially here. He homered in every game this weekend and has raised his OPS from .618 to .695 since Friday. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
     
  • Hitting bench Sunday
    Suarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Though manager Torey Lovullo hinted earlier this week that Blaze Alexander would receive more playing time at third base going forward, Suarez still appears to be the Diamondbacks' preferred option at the hot corner for now. Though Alexander will man third base Sunday, Suarez had started in each of the previous three games and went 3-for-8 with a solo home run and three walks across those contests.

  • Drawing fourth straight start
    Moore will start at second base and bat ninth in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Moore will pick up his fourth consecutive start in the infield since making his return from the paternity list Thursday. He'll likely serve as the Mariners' primary option at the keystone before moving into a utility role once Jorge Polanco (hamstring) is ready to come off the 10-day injured list.

  • Remains out Sunday
    Smith (undisclosed) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Smith is on the bench for a third straight game due to an injury that manager Bruce Bochy has termed as "general tightness." Ezequiel Duran will get a second consecutive start at third base in place of the banged-up Smith. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago

  • Gets ejected Sunday
    Machado was ejected from Sunday's game against the Mets in the sixth inning for arguing balls and strikes. He went 1-for-3 with an RBI and two strikeouts.

    Advice: Padres manager Mike Shildt was also tossed from the game after leaving the dugout to argue with the home-plate umpire. Machado slammed his bat in frustration with the called third strike but didn't make any contact with the umpire, so he shouldn't be subject to any further punishment from MLB.

  • Manny Machado, Mike Schildt ejected Sunday
    Manny Machado was ejected from Sunday’s game against the Mets.

    Advice: Machado and manager Mike Schildt were both ejected after Machado objected — correctly — to a called strike. It’s unlikely that either will face suspension. Rotoworld Today, 12:43 pm
     
  • Getting look atop batting order
    Stefanic will start at second base and bat leadoff in Sunday's game against the Giants, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: The Giants are opening the game with a left-hander (Erik Miller) on the hill, so the right-handed-hitting Stefanic will displace the Angels' usual leadoff man -- the lefty-hitting Nolan Schanuel -- atop the lineup. Stefanic had started in two of the previous three games while batting ninth in the order on both occasions, and he could end up serving as the Angels' preferred option at second base until Brandon Drury (hamstring) returns from the injured list.

  • Not getting regular work at 2B
    Guillorme is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: Guillorme is on the bench for the third time in four games. Though Kyren Paris' recent demotion to the minors has opened up playing time at the keystone while Brandon Drury (hamstring) remains on the injured list, Guillorme looks like he'll remain in a utility role while Michael Stefanic serves as the top option at second base.
