  • Back in starting nine Monday
    Ruiz (wrist) will start in left field and bat leadoff in Monday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: After he was pulled from Saturday's 20-4 win over the Marlins with a wrist injury, Ruiz was sent in for an MRI, but the imaging evidently revealed nothing concerning. The speedy outfielder will slot back in atop the lineup with Oakland facing a left-hander (Andrew Heaney) on Monday, but Ruiz still looks as though he'll be limited to a short-side platoon role that will limit his opportunities to play against right-handed pitching.

  • Sitting versus southpaw
    Carter is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: The A's are sending southpaw Alex Wood to the hill, so the left-handed hitting Carter will receive a day off. Ezequiel Duran is getting the start in left field Monday. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Out against lefty
    Gorman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: The Cardinals are facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Sean Manaea) for the second day in a row, so the lefty-hitting Gorman will once again head to the bench. Jose Fermin will fill in for Gorman at second base. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago

    Burleson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

  • Moves rehab to Memphis
    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Carpenter (oblique) will shift his rehab assignment to Triple-A Memphis on Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Carpenter kicked off his minor-league assignment with Double-A Springfield on Friday and appeared in two games over the weekend, going 1-for-6 with a walk, two runs and an RBI. The 38-year-old has been on the injured list since April 2 with a right oblique strain, but once he's activated, he could push Alec Burleson for the Cardinals' primary designated-hitter gig.

  • Christian Yelich (backs) takes BP on field
    Christian Yelich (back) was able to take part in batting practice on the field before Monday’s game against the Royals.

    Advice: Brewers manager Pat Murphy told reporters that this was likely the final step before Yelich can return to the lineup. That could mean Yelich won’t take part in a rehab assignment, and assuming he recovers well from this session, the 32-year-old could be back in the lineup by the end of the week.

  • Draws rare start
    Wendle will start at second base and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Cardinals, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Wendle will start for just the ninth time through the Mets' 35 games this season, handling second base while Jeff McNeil gets a look in left field. The 34-year-old will likely to continue seeing light use in his utility role unless the Mets lose one of their regular infielders to injury. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
