  • Idle against lefty
    O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting O'Hearn finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row while Cincinnati brings another southpaw (Nick Lodolo) to the hill. O'Hearn's absence will allow the Orioles to give infielder Gunnar Henderson a day off playing defense, as the third-year player instead serves as Baltimore's designated hitter.

  • Heading to bench Sunday
    Mullins is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: With the Orioles wrapping up their series in Cincinnati with a day game and a lefty (Nick Lodolo) on the hill for the Reds, manager Brandon Hyde likely viewed Sunday as an opportune time to give the lefty-hitting Mullins a day off. Ryan McKenna will check in for Mullins in center field. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Moreno is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Moreno started the first two games of the series and will sit Sunday afternoon after going 2-for-7 with an RBI. Tucker Barnhart will step in behind the plate and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Ryan Pepiot day-to-day with left leg contusion
    Ryan Pepiot is day-to-day after leaving Sunday’s start against the Mets with a left leg contusion.

    Advice: Pepiot has already undergone imaging, and x-rays came back negative for the right-hander. He was struck in the leg by a pitch that was 107 mph, and while he attempted to stay in the game, Rays manager Kevin Cash wasn’t going to take any risks. There’s a good chance Pepiot could make his next scheduled start, but fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago

  • Not starting Sunday
    Gurriel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Gurriel started the previous eight games but will head to the bench Sunday after he went 2-for-33 during that span. Jake McCarthy will receive a start in left field while Pavin Smith starts in right. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Exiting starting nine Sunday
    Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Following a stint on the 10-day injured list due to an adductor strain, Davis was activated Friday and had started at first base in both of his first two games back in action, going 2-for-7 with a run scored between those contests. The Athletics haven't indicated that Davis suffered a setback in his recovery from the injury, so his absence Sunday is presumably a pre-planned maintenance day. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago

  • Nick Pivetta (elbow) expected to start Wednesday
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters that Nick Pivetta (elbow) is expected to come off the injured list to start Wednesday against Atlanta.

    Advice: That’s a tough return, but it’s also welcome news for fantasy managers who are waiting for Pivetta to come off the shelf. The right-hander was able to throw 62 pitches in his rehab start Thursday for Triple-A Worcester, so he should be stretched out for five-plus innings in that outing. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
     
  • Getting maintenance day
    Langeliers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Langeliers was probably overdue for a day off, as he had started at catcher or served as a designated hitter in each of Oakland's last five games. Kyle McCann will get a turn behind the plate in Sunday's series finale. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Starts up hitting program
    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Sunday that Yelich (back) has resumed swinging the bat in addition to running and throwing, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: The 32-year-old seemingly had a breakthrough in his recovery from a low back strain this weekend, when he had his best session in the batting cage since landing on the shelf, according to MLB.com. Yelich said that he's targeting a return to action before the Brewers' road trip wraps up Wednesday in Kansas City, but don't be surprised if the team takes a more conservative approach and gives him more time to heal up from the back injury before activating him from the 10-day injured list.
