    • Daulton Varsho scores twice as Jays defeat A’s
      Daulton Varsho singled, was hit by a pitch, stole a base and scored a pair of runs on Sunday as the Blue Jays rallied to defeat the Athletics in extra innings.

      Advice: Varsho led off the eighth inning with a single, was sacrificed to second base, swiped third and then scored the game’s tying run on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Davis Schneider. He was then hit by a pitch to load the bases in the 10th inning and raced home on Isiah Kiner-Falefa’s bases-clearing double. For the season, the dynamic 27-year-old outfielder is slashing .217/.306/.453 with 10 homers, 31 RBI and seven stolen bases. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:46 pm
       
    • Needs third rehab start
      Cole (elbow) said after Sunday's rehab outing with Double-A Somerset that he'll require at least one additional rehab start, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports. The right-hander allowed one run on two hits with four strikeouts and no walks over 4.2 innings.

      Advice: Cole threw 44 of 57 pitches for strikes in his second rehab appearance Sunday as he continues building up his workload while coming back from nerve irritation in his elbow. The 33-year-old is trending toward a season debut in late June at the latest, though an exact return date won't come into focus until it's determined how many rehab outings are necessary.

    • Cole (elbow) allows one over 4 1/3 in rehab start
      Gerrit Cole (elbow) went 4 1/3 innings while allowing one run in a rehab start Sunday for Double-A Somerset.

      Advice: Cole struck out four and didn’t allow a walk. The right-hander threw 57 pitches in the outing and was reportedly between 94-96 mph with his fastball in the outing. Cole’s rehab appearances have gone as well as possible thus far, and there’s a good chance he’s back with the Yankees before the end of the month. What a gift that would be for New York and fantasy managers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:08 pm
       
    • Taking seat Sunday
      Schneider is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Schneider started the previous 14 games but will sit Sunday amid a 3-for-23 slump. Spencer Horwitz will step in at second base and bat leadoff in the series finale at Oakland. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:19 am
       
    • Davis Schneider getting Sunday off vs. Athletics
      Davis Schneider is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Schneider gets a day of rest against Mitch Spence and the Oakland staff. In his place, Spencer Horwitz will not only get the start at second base, but hit at the top of the Toronto lineup. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:15 am
       
    • Taking seat Sunday
      Soler is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Soler started the previous six games and will head to the bench Sunday after he posted a .667 OPS during that stretch. Wilmer Flores will serve as the designated hitter while Trenton Brooks starts at first base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:26 am
       
    • Idle vs. southpaw
      Naylor is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Marlins.

      Advice: With Miami sending southpaw Trevor Rogers to the mound Sunday, the lefty-hitting Naylor will begin the contest in the dugout while David Fry gets the start behind home plate. It's the third straight game Naylor has not started, as the 24-year-old has struggled at the plate since May 1, slashing .152/.186/.227 with a 32.9 percent strikeout rate over 66 at-bats during that span.

    • Sitting again Saturday
      Naylor isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Saturday's game against Miami.

      Advice: Slashing just .170/.247/.259 through 150 plate appearances, Naylor has begun to see his playing time take a significant hit recently. David Fry, who has had one of the hottest bats in baseball, will pick up another start behind the plate while Kyle Manzardo serves as Cleveland's DH. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:01 pm
       
    • Taking dry swings
      Muncy (oblique) has begun taking dry swings and doing plyo-ball workouts, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

      Advice: This is a step forward for Muncy, as he had previously been unable to swing a bat at all after continuing to experience soreness in his oblique. However, manager Dave Roberts said last week that the third baseman is on a "slow program," so Muncy doesn't appear to be particularly close to a return. He hasn't played in a game since May 15 and will likely need to go on a rehab assignment before rejoining the big-league club. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:58 am
