  • Resting against lefty
    Burleson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Burleson's streak of five consecutive starts will come to an end while he exits the lineup with southpaw Garrett Crochet on the hill for the White Sox. With Burleson on the bench, Willson Contreras will get a day off of catching and instead serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 11:14 am

  • Settling in as regular first baseman
    Singleton will start at first base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Mariners, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Rather than Singleton, the recent arrival of prospect Joey Loperfido from Triple-A Sugar Land has been most detrimental to outfielders Mauricio Dubon and Jake Meyers. In fact, with Jose Abreu getting optioned to the minors and with Loperfido seeing all of his opportunities to date in left field and center field, Singleton has settled into a regular role at first base for Houston. He'll stay in the lineup for a sixth straight contest after going 4-for-16 with a pair of home runs and walks over the previous five games. Rotowire.com Today, 10:59 am
     
  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Cooper is not in the lineup for Sunday's game at Minnesota, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: Cooper started the first two games of the series but will sit for the finale after going 0-for-7 with a walk and two strikeouts. Dominic Smith will handle first base while Rafael Devers receives a turn at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 10:17 am
     
  • Ducks out of lineup against LHP
    Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: With southpaw MacKenzie Gore on the hill for Washington, the lefty-hitting Biggio will retreat to the bench. Toronto will insert Isiah Kiner-Falefa into the lineup as its starting second baseman. Rotowire.com Today, 10:07 am

  • Snaps team scoreless streak
    Steer went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Steer's ninth-inning single plated Cincinnati's lone run -- his team-leading 23rd RBI -- and snapped the club's 26-inning scoreless streak at home. The Reds, which started five players batting .200 or lower, have had issues scoring of late, batting .185 with 78 strikeouts over the last eight games (six losses). Steer's .333 average and .639 slugging with runners in scoring position could be more helpful if the Reds can get on base in front of him. The club ranks 27th in MLB with a .292 on-base percentage.

  • Hits first homer of season
    Flores went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 14-3 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Flores has gone 6-for-19 (.316) with three RBI, a homer, a double, and a 3:3 BB:K over his last seven contests. It's been more of the same for Flores this year -- he began the year in a utility role, but he's earned a short-side platoon role with LaMonte Wade at first base over the first month of the campaign. The Giants have had good infield health so far, so it's unlikely Flores carves out a much larger role. He's slashing .234/.322/.325 with five extra-base hits, 12 RBI and seven runs scored across 90 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 9:46 am
     
  • Steps out of lineup versus lefty
    Cave is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Though the lefty-hitting Cave is on the bench Sunday with southpaw Bailey Falter on the hill for Pittsburgh, Cave started in right field both of the Rockies' last two matchups versus right-handed pitching. Cave could end up occupying the strong side of a platoon in right field with the right-handed-hitting Sean Bouchard until Kris Bryant (back) returns from the 10-day injured list.

  • Homer, steal in win
    Wisdom went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Brewers.

    Advice: Wisdom, who exceeded 20 homers each of the past three seasons, finally got on the board with his first long ball of 2024. He also added his second steal of the season, and his second steal since the calendar flipped to May. Wisdom has totaled just 20 at-bats since he returned from the injured list April 18, as most of his playing time has come against left-handed pitching, though he's now been the DH in two of the Cubs' last three games versus opposing right-handers.

  • Productive in second game back
    Davis went 2-for-4 with a run in a win over the Marlins on Saturday.

    Advice: Davis returned from a stint on the injured list in the series opener Friday and went 0-for-3, but he authored one of seven multi-hit efforts for the Athletics in Saturday's 20-4 win. The veteran hadn't recorded more than one knock in a game since April 3, and Saturday's production snapped an 0-for-13 skid. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:12 pm
