    • Not in Sunday's lineup
      Diaz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: The 33-year-old started all seven games since he returned from the injured list last weekend, though he's still experienced a bit of tightness in his calf since being activated and hasn't pushed himself while running the bases. There's been no report that Diaz has further aggravated the injury, so his absence from the lineup Sunday is likely just a maintenance day. Jacob Stallings is receiving a turn behind the plate in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 11:47 am
       
    • Receiving Sunday off
      Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Phillies.

      Advice: Murphy was on the bench for Friday's series opener and will also sit for Sunday's finale after going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Saturday's contest. Travis d'Arnaud will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Reynaldo Lopez. Rotowire.com Today, 8:01 am
       
    • Strong showing in loss
      Gorman went 3-for-5 with two doubles and a run scored in Saturday's 14-6 loss to the Nationals.

      Advice: The second baseman banged out the Cardinals' only extra-base hits on the afternoon. Gorman has produced multiple hits in three of five games to begin the month of July, and he appears to be shaking off a brutal slump that saw him slash .083/.151/.155 over the prior 24 games with a bloated 39.8 percent strikeout rate.

    • Collects save Saturday
      Clase walked one and struck out none over a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Giants.

      Advice: Clase has earned six saves and a win during his active nine-inning scoreless streak. He's added a 5:2 K:BB in that span. The closer is 26-for-29 in save chances this year with a 0.65 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 39:5 K:BB across 41.1 innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:47 pm
       
    • Swipes two bags in win
      Neto went 1-for-5 with an RBI and two steals in a 7-0 win over the Cubs on Saturday.

      Advice: Neto hit an RBI single and swiped two bases in a productive third inning. He has stolen four bases over his past 10 contests but has gone just 7-for-37 at the plate over that span. On the year, the shortstop is hitting .243 with 11 home runs, 39 RBI, 33 runs scored and 14 steals over 319 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:05 pm

    • Clase picks up AL-leading 26th save vs. Giants
      Emmanuel Clase pitched a scoreless ninth inning and picked up the save against the Giants on Saturday.

      Advice: The save was Clase’s 26th of the year. With another scoreless appearance, his ERA is down to 0.65. Only Ryan Helsley of the Cardinals has more saves than Clase does this year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:56 pm
       
    • Out of lineup vs. southpaw Saturday
      Conforto is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

      Advice: Conforto will avoid Guardians southpaw Logan Allen for Saturday's contest, with Austin Slater starting in left field and batting second. In Friday's series opener, Conforto went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBI in the 4-2 win. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:07 am
       
    • Plays field in rehab game
      Bogaerts (shoulder) went 0-for-3 while playing second base in a rehab game with Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

      Advice: After serving as the designated hitter in his first rehab contest Thursday, Bogaerts transitioned to second base in his second game Friday. He's gone 1-for-6 with a walk and two strikeouts over the pair of appearances. While there seems to be ample time for Bogaerts to ramp up and return to the Padres before the All-Star break, MLB.com reports that manager Mike Shildt wouldn't commit to that Friday, saying "I wouldn't rule it out, but I wouldn't say, 'Yes.'"

    • Absent from lineup Saturday
      Bell is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.

      Advice: Saturday marks Bell's first day off since June 24. He went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in the series opener Friday, and since his last day off, Bell has gone 4-for-39 with two RBI and 11 strikeouts. Jonah Bride will serve as the designated hitter Saturday and bat sixth against White Sox southpaw Garrett Crochet. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:31 am
