    New Player Note
     
  • One steal, two RBI in loss
    Garcia went 2-for-5 with two RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Tigers.

    Advice: Garcia struggled in the middle of April, but he's now logged four multi-hit efforts over his last five games. He's added three steals and five RBI in that span while continuing to sit atop the Royals' order. The third baseman is slashing .222/.277/.380 with four home runs, seven steals, 20 RBI and 13 runs scored over 27 contests this season. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
     
  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Caballero is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Caballero will head to the bench Sunday after he posted a .217/.250/.370 slash line and 26.5 percent strikeout rate while starting the previous 12 games. Amed Rosario will shift to shortstop and bat third. Rotowire.com Today, 9:39 am
     
  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    DeJong is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.

  • Returns from IL
    Single-A Lakeland reinstated McGonigle (hamstring) from its 7-day injured list Tuesday, with the infielder going 5-for-11 with two doubles, three walks, two runs, two RBI and three stolen bases in four games since returning to the lineup.

    Advice: McGonigle missed about two weeks of action to begin the season while recovering from a left hamstring strain, but the injury hasn't inhibited since he made his return less than a week ago. Rotowire.com Today, 8:37 am
     
  • Not starting Sunday
    Baez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Baez started the previous seven games but will sit Sunday after he posted a .641 OPS during that stretch. Zach McKinstry will step in at shortstop for the series finale versus Kansas City. Rotowire.com Today, 8:03 am
     
  • Sit again versus righty
    Allen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: For the second time in three games, Allen will hit the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Albert Suarez) while Darell Hernaiz checks in for him at shortstop. Allen is the more established big-league player of the two shortstops, but given that he posted a lowly .550 OPS over 329 plate appearances in 2023 and is off to an even worse start in 2024 (.490 OPS In 73 plate appearances), the Athletics could be motivated to give the rookie Hernaiz an extended look at the position.

  • Javier Baez scratched from lineup Sunday vs. KC
    Javier Báez was scratched from the lineup Sunday against the Royals.

    Advice: Báez was scheduled to hit eighth and play shortstop in the original lineup, but the shortstop will not start Sunday’s game for reasons that haven’t been disclosed yet. Zach McKinstry will start at shortstop in Báez’s place and hit sixth. Rotoworld Today, 7:21 am
     
  • Swats second homer
    Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Seager, who was not in the original starting lineup for Saturday's game, was a late addition. The home run was his second of the season. Seager's off to a slow start, slashing .247/.336/.330 over 110 plate appearances, which is disappointing for fantasy managers who expected more from the player that finished second in AL MVP voting last season. However, it's understandable when considering Seager underwent offseason hernia surgery and missed all but the final week of spring training. Rotowire.com Today, 7:03 am
