  • Swipes bag Saturday
    Fermin was hit by a pitch in his lone plate appearance and stole a base in Saturday's 6-5 extra-inning loss.

    Advice: Fermin has received minimal playing time since his April 24 call-up from Triple-A Memphis. He's 1-for-3 with two walks and a hit-by-pitch over five contests, and the steal was his first of the season. Fermin provides cover around the infield, but he's yet to really push Nolan Gorman at second base or Masyn Winn at shortstop for more playing time. Rotowire.com Today, 9:43 am
     
  • Starting Sunday after all
    Keith will start at second base and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Keith had been in line to receive Sunday's game off with southpaw Nestor Cortes taking the hill for New York, but the rookie was a late addition to the lineup after outfielder Wenceel Perez (illness) was scratched from the starting nine. As a result of Perez's removal from the lineup, Matt Vierling will move from third base to right field, while Andy Ibanez shifts over to the hot corner to open up second base for Keith.

  • Scratched with illness
    Perez was scratched from the lineup Sunday against the Yankees due to an illness, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Perez was penciled in for his seventh consecutive start but will instead hit the bench due to an illness. He should be considered day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Cleveland. Rotowire.com Today, 9:02 am

  • Sitting in second straight game
    Mead is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Mead will sit against a right-handed starting pitcher for the second time in as many days and seems to have lost hold of a regular role at second base after slashing just .218/.269/.276 through 93 plate appearances on the season. The Rays' infield picture will become more crowded if Jonathan Aranda (finger) is activated from the 10-day injured list during the upcoming week, so Mead could be sent back to Triple-A Durham in a corresponding move so he can get regular playing time.

  • Wenceel Pérez scratched due to illness
    Wenceel Pérez has been scratched from the starting lineup Sunday due to illness.

    Advice: Pérez was scheduled to play Sunday against the Yankees, but he’ll instead retreat to the bench. Colt Keith is reinserted into the starting lineup and will play second base against New York. Pérez should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 8:58 am

  • Getting rest day
    Triolo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Triolo will take a seat for the series finale after he started in each of the past 11 games while getting on base at a .333 clip over that stretch. Alika Williams will step in at second base while Triolo rests Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:45 am

  • Lifts third homer in win
    Urias went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a win over the Astros on Saturday.

    Advice: Urias gave the Mariners a bit of breathing room with a 420-foot shot to center in the fifth, extending Seattle's lead to 3-0 at the time. The offseason addition has now matched the three-homer total he mustered across 52 games in 2023 while logging time with the Brewers and Red Sox, but he's still carrying a worrisome .154 average and .267 on-base percentage. However, the lopsided slash line also includes a career-best .462 slugging percentage, as all six of Urias' hits this season have gone for extra bases (three doubles, three homers).

  • Joey Ortiz gets Sunday off vs. Cubs
    Joey Ortiz is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Ortiz also was out Saturday, so the infielder stays on the bench to begin at least one more game. Oliver Dunn is starting at third base in Ortiz’s place. This is something to keep an eye on moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 8:24 am
     
  • Nolan Gorman gets Sunday off against White Sox
    Nolan Gorman is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Gorman will get a rest against southpaw Garrett Crochet. Jose Fermin will play second base and hit eighth. Rotoworld Today, 8:17 am
