  • Out of lineup again
    Renfroe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: For the third time in four games, the right-handed-hitting Renfroe will take a seat against a right-handed starting pitcher. Though he's posted a .797 OPS over his last 14 games, Renfroe looks to be moving into more of a part-time role in right field. Adam Frazier will get the nod in right field Sunday.

  • Taking seat Sunday
    Montero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Montero started the previous six games but will head to the bench Sunday after batting .167 during that span. Kris Bryant will shift to first base while Brendan Rodgers serves as the designated hitter and Alan Trejo starts at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 11:05 am
     
  • Nolan Schanuel (thumb) remains out Sunday vs. M’s
    Nolan Schanuel (thumb) is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

    Advice: Schanuel will miss another game while dealing with left thumb soreness. Willie Calhoun is getting the start at first base and hitting cleanup against Luis Castillo. Schanuel should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 10:52 am
     
  • On bench versus lefty
    Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: It's the third straight game on the bench for the 26-year-old, and this time it comes as lefty Nick Lodolo takes the mound for the Reds. Busch had a hot start to the campaign with a 1.062 OPS in his first 19 contests, but he has a .186/.292/.314 slash line and 38.3 percent strikeout rate in his past 35 games. Patrick Wisdom will start at first base Sunday for the Cubs. Rotowire.com Today, 10:50 am

  • Getting fourth straight start
    Duran will start at first base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Duran will stay in the lineup for a fourth straight game, with two starts coming against left-handed pitchers and two coming versus righties. While Evan Carter (back) is on the injured list, Duran looks to be a priority for the final spot in the Texas lineup over the likes of Robbie Grossman and Travis Jankowski.

  • Idle against lefty again
    Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Lowe will remain on the bench for the second day in a row while the Rangers oppose another left-handed starter (Trevor Rogers). The Rangers will turn to Ezequiel Duran to replace Lowe at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 10:42 am
     
  • 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.

  • Hitting bench Sunday
    Manzardo is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Manzardo was on the bench for two of the past three games while the Guardians faced three consecutive lefty starters, but his absence Sunday comes with right-hander Jake Irvin on the hill for Washington. Jose Ramirez will get a day out of the field and will serve as the Guardians' designated hitter, but even when Ramirez plays third base against right-handed pitching, Manzardo's opportunities could become more limited. The hot-hitting David Fry -- who is out of the lineup Sunday -- has made a case to overtake Manzardo as the Guardians' preferred DH against both righties and lefties. Rotowire.com Today, 10:35 am
