  • Garners fifth straight start
    Arias will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Arias will stick in the lineup for a fifth consecutive game, this time filling in at third base while Jose Ramirez gets a day out of the field and serves as Cleveland's designated hitter. In addition to the hot corner, Arias picked up starts at second base, shortstop and in right field over the previous four games. The Guardians faced left-handed starters in three of those contests, and though Arias should be a fixture in the lineup versus lefties, he'll likely serve as more of a part-time player when Cleveland opposes righties.

  • Heading to bench Sunday
    Fry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Fry will head to the bench after a stretch of six consecutive starts in which he slashed .333/.462/.667 with three extra-base hits, one stolen base, eight RBI and five runs. Five of his last six starts came in left field, but with Steven Kwan back from the injured list, Fry could end up seeing most of his opportunities at designated hitter moving forward. Kyle Manzardo represents Fry's primary competition for playing time at DH, but both will be on the bench Sunday while Jose Ramirez gets a day off from third base and but sticks in the starting nine in a non-defensive role.

  • Out against righty again
    Kiermaier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Kiermaier will sit for the second straight matchup with a right-hander (Quinn Priester), perhaps signaling that the veteran's hold on a regular role in the outfield could be tenuous. Daniel Vogelbach has been included in the lineup at designated hitter in both of the past two games at Kiermaier's expense, while Toronto has rolled out outfields of Davis Schneider, Daulton Varsho and George Springer from left to right. Kiermaier is hitting just .212 with a .265 on-base percentage across 116 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Out against righty again
    Olivares is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Olivares will sit against a right-handed pitcher (Chris Bassitt) for a third consecutive matchup. He looked to have moved into a full-time role following Jack Suwinski's demotion to Triple-A Indianapolis on May 23, but Olivares appears to be stuck in a short-side platoon role while the lefty-hitting Rowdy Tellez has regained playing time versus right-handed pitching.

  • Goes deep Saturday
    Santander went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two total runs scored in Saturday's 9-5 win over the Rays.

    Advice: Santander has started to look more like himself, going 9-for-32 (.281) with three homers over his last nine contests. For the year, he's slashing .218/.300/.440 with 10 homers, 30 RBI, 29 runs scored, 11 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases. Santander has been plagued by a .224 BABIP this year, so it's no surprise his overall numbers are down, but it's a reason for optimism that he'll be able to turn things around.

  • Dylan Moore not starting Sunday vs. Angels
    Dylan Moore is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Angels.

    Advice: Moore has scuffled as of late, and he’ll get a day off Sunday with Ryan Bliss getting another start at second base. Mitch Haniger is also out for the finale against the Halos with Dominic Canzone starting in right field. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago

  • Staying on bench Sunday
    Refsnyder is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Refsnyder will be on the bench for a second straight game following a stretch of five consecutive starts. Though he's maintaining an excellent .333/.414/.517 slash line over 99 plate appearances on the season, Refsnyder still isn't being treated as an everyday player, at least against right-handed pitching. The Red Sox may continue to rotate a number of players at the designated-hitter spot against righties, with Garrett Cooper picking up the assignment Sunday. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting after two straight starts
    McKinstry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: McKinstry picked up starts at shortstop and second base Friday and Saturday, respectively, going 1-for-6 with a double. Though both Colt Keith (.594 OPS) and Javier Baez (.481 OPS) have turned in poor numbers as the Tigers' regular starters in the middle infield this season, McKinstry (.499 OPS in 91 plate appearances) hasn't done much to make a case for steadier playing time.

  • Getting Sunday off
    O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting O'Hearn typically hits the bench against left-handed pitchers, but he'll get a breather versus a righty (Zack Littell) for the series finale. Adley Rutschman will get a day off from catching and will start at designated hitter in place of O'Hearn, who had been included in the lineup in each of the previous five games.
