  • Good to go Sunday
    Young (back) is starting in center field and batting leadoff Sunday against the Blue Jays, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: The 24-year-old exited Friday's contest due to back spasms and didn't start Saturday, but he'll rejoin the lineup for Sunday's series finale. Young has gone just 2-for-10 over his past four games but has a .311/.354/.378 slash line with 12 steals in 81 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Reinstated, batting fifth Sunday
    Carlson (shoulder) was activated from the 10-day injured list and is starting in center field and batting fifth Sunday against the White Sox.

    Advice: The 25-year-old missed the first five weeks of the season due to a sprained left shoulder, but he's back with the Cardinals after going 3-for-11 with three walks and a solo homer during a four-game rehab stint with Triple-A Memphis. Carlson should step in as St. Louis' primary center fielder, at least until Tommy Edman (wrist) makes his own return from the injured list. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • 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 13 minutes ago

  • Called up for Sunday's start
    Lynch was recalled from Triple-A Omaha and is starting Sunday against the Rangers.

    Advice: The left-hander is taking the rotation spot of Alec Marsh (elbow), who is making a rehab start Sunday and could soon rejoin the Royals. Lynch missed out on Kansas City's season-opening rotation after he posted a 2.77 ERA during spring training, and he hasn't pitched particularly well at Omaha with a 5.86 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB across 27.2 innings.

  • Pedro Pages sent back to Memphis by Cardinals
    Cardinals optioned C Pedro Pages to Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: Pages is off the active roster to make room for Dylan Carlson after Carlson was activated off the 10-day injured list. Pages should get a chance to play regularly in Memphis. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
     
  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Martinez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Manager Carlos Mendoza will continue the trend of sitting Martinez for the series finale, which is now the case for the third straight series since the veteran slugger made his season debut April 26. DJ Stewart will bat fifth as the designated hitter Sunday. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Cardinals activate Dylan Carlson off injured list
    Cardinals activated OF Dylan Carlson off the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Carlson is off the injured list, and the 25-year-old is hitting fifth while playing center field in his debut. The outfielder missed just around a month after injuring his shoulder in a crash during spring training. Carlson helps the Cardinals’ depth, but the former top prospect hasn’t had much offensive success at the highest level just yet. Fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach.

  • Nelson Velazquez out of action Sunday vs. Rangers
    Nelson Velazquez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Velazquez has not found much success in 2024 with an OPS of just .635 over 92 at-bats, and he’ll retreat to the bench against right-hander Jon Grey on Sunday. Salvador Perez will lineup at designated hitter while hitting in his usual fourth spot in the lineup while Freddy Fermin gets the start behind the plate. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago
