• Heads to bench Sunday
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Bauers is on the bench for the series finale, but after producing a .400/.571/.900 slash line with two stolen bases while starting in each of the past four games, he may have moved back into a near-everyday role. Jackson Chourio -- who had been benched for the past four games -- will rejoin the starting nine and replace Bauers in the corner outfield. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago

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

    Advice: When he was activated from the 10-day injured list last Sunday, Carlson looked as though he would get a chance to start in center field on an every basis. However, just one week later, the Cardinals have seemingly pulled the plug on Carlson as their primary option in center, with either Mike Siani or Lars Nootbaar having drawn the last five starts at the position. Both of Carlson's two starts in the last five games came in right field, and he appears as though he could be relegated to a short-side platoon role. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
  • Back in lineup
    Lee (foot) is starting at center field and batting in the leadoff spot against the Reds on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Lee missed the last three games after taking a foul ball off his foot in Wednesday's win over the Rockies. He was able to do some on-field work Saturday, and he will make his return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Lee is slashing .262/.310/.331 with two home runs and eight RBI over 158 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Resting Sunday
    Winn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Winn will head to the bench after he went 4-for-11 with a stolen base while starting in each of the first three games of the series. Brandon Crawford will fill in for Winn at shortstop in the series finale. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
     
  • Resting against lefty
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: With southpaw Logan Allen on the hill for Cleveland, the lefty-hitting Lopez will take a seat. Zach Remillard will replace Lopez at second base in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 10:23 am

  • Hitting bench Sunday
    Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Jose Ramirez is getting a day out of the infield and is serving as the Guardians' designated hitter in the series finale, leaving no room in the lineup for Manzardo. Since getting called up from Triple-A Columbus on Monday, Manzardo is off to an unremarkable start to his big-league career, going 3-for-17 with a double and seven strikeouts through seven games.

  • Sitting against southpaw
    Smith is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Rockies.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Smith went 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's 8-3 loss. He will begin Sunday's contest on the bench as the Rockies send out southpaw Ty Blach. Ezequiel Duran will fill in for Smith at third base. Rotowire.com Today, 10:19 am

  • Getting day off
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Naylor will get a rest for the series finale after he went 0-for-3 with a strikeout while logging eight innings behind the plate in Saturday's 3-1 loss. David Fry will fill in for Naylor behind the dish. Rotowire.com Today, 10:16 am
     
  • Evan Carter out again Sunday with back stiffness
    Evan Carter (back) is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Carter was scratched from the lineup Saturday with stiffness in his lower back, and the 21-year-old will miss at least one more game. Robbie Grossman is hitting sixth and starting in left field in Carter’s absence. Rotoworld Today, 9:28 am
