  • On bench versus righty
    Laureano is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Laureano had started each of the first two games in right field for Atlanta after Michael Harris (hamstring) was hurt, but Adam Duvall will shift over to right and Forrest Wall will handle left field in this one. It's a fluid situation as Atlanta tries to piece together its outfield over the next few weeks. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Drawing start in left field
    Wall will start in left field and bat eighth in Monday's game versus the Tigers.

    Advice: After receiving a promotion earlier Monday, Wall is immediately thrown into an Atlanta starting lineup that's been hit hard by injuries recently. It's possible he could see some regular reps in the outfield against righties with Michael Harris (hamstring) joining Ronald Acuna (knee) on the injured list, but it's a fluid situation.

  • Back from injured list
    The Phillies activated Turner (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: Turner rejoins the first-place Phillies following a six-week absence with a strained left hamstring. He did not go out on a rehab assignment, so it's possible Turner will some extra off days mixed in as he returns to action. Edmundo Sosa performed well as Turner's fill-in at shortstop and will most likely return to a bench role, although him getting some reps in the outfield has been discussed.

  • Trea Turner officially back from the IL
    Phillies activated Trea Turner (hamstring) from the 10-day IL.

    Advice: The move was reported on Sunday and is now official. Turner didn’t make any rehab appearances but should be slotted back into lineups to make use of his full week of production. He may not steal as many bases right away in the aftermath of the hamstring injury, but hopefully that speed production will tick back up in the weeks ahead. Johan Rojas was sent to the minors in a corresponding move. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
     
  • Heads to Triple-A
    The Phillies optioned Rojas to Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday.

    Advice: Rojas has regressed majorly at the plate this season, slashing just .235/.271/.295 over 58 games. He also hasn't been quite as good defensively, either, and has made some mistakes on the basepaths. With Rojas headed to the minors, the Phillies will go with Brandon Marsh and Cristian Pache as their primary options in center field and David Dahl and Whit Merrifield in left field.

  • Back on bench against righty
    Rivera is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Rivera will hit the bench after starting in all three games of the Marlins' weekend series in Washington, going 1-for-9 with a double and run scored across those contests. The Nationals brought left-handed starters to the hill for each of those games, so Rivera still looks to be a short-side platoon player for Marlins rather than someone who's pushing for an everyday role.

  • Clubs 10th homer
    Freeman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 3-0 victory versus the Royals.

    Advice: Freeman reached double-digit homers on the campaign with his sixth-inning solo blast. The veteran first baseman has begun to pick up the pace in terms of power, going deep four times in 14 contests in June after coming into the month with just six long balls across 59 games. Freeman's pair of hits Sunday also lifted his average back up to .300 -- he's slashing .300/.401/.502 in 319 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat versus lefty
    Burleson is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: After starting in each of the Cardinals' last 29 games, Burleson will finally get a break in the series opener in Miami. With southpaw Braxton Garrett on the bump for Miami, Cardinals skipper Oliver Marmol likely viewed it as an opportune time to give the lefty-hitting Burleson a day off. Dylan Carlson will step in for Burleson in right field. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Exiting lineup versus lefty
    Gorman is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Gorman will take a seat for the series opener in Miami while southpaw Braxton Garrett toes the rubber for the Marlins. Jose Fermin will fill in at second base for Gorman, who is batting .186 against lefties this season. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
