  • 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.

  • Strong start at Amarillo
    De Los Santos was named the Texas League Player of the Month for April after leading the circuit with 32 hits, seven home runs and 58 total bases for Double-Amarillo, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports.

    Advice: De Los Santos spent the spring with the Guardians, who selected him in the Rule 5 draft, but he did not make Cleveland's roster. The 20-year-old native of the Dominican Republic picked up at Amarillo where he left off in 2023. De Los Santos was added to the development list in 2023 following a rough start, but he crushed Double-A pitching in the second half of the season, posting a .322/.340/.596 line after July 14. The power-hitting prospect made strides at the plate while with the Guardians, developing a more "major league approach," according to Amarillo manager Tim Bogar, who feels the experience in a major-league spring training camp was helpful. To become a well-rounded prospect, De Los Santos needs to work on his defense. He played both third and first base since being signed as a 16-year-old, but the organization plans to limit him to first base only going forward. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • 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.

  • 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 53 minutes ago

  • 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

  • Remains out with illness
    Rengifo (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: He'll be withheld from the starting nine for the second day in a row while recovering from an illness. Rengifo has been playing on a near-everyday basis of late while toggling between second base and third base, but he'll give way to Brandon Drury at the keystone and Cole Tucker at the hot corner for Sunday's series finale.
