    • Resting versus lefty
      Kepler isn't in the Twins' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: Southpaw Carlos Rodon will toe the slab for New York on Wednesday, meaning the lefty-hitting Kepler will retreat to the bench to begin the game. His absence will allow Manuel Margot to start in right field while batting in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:39 pm
       
    • Idle against southpaw
      Conforto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Conforto will hit the bench for the day game after a night game while Arizona brings a lefty (Jordan Montgomery) to the hill. After returning from the injured list Monday, Conforto started in left field in both of the first two games of the series, going 0-for-8 with a walk and three strikeouts.

    • Moving to second base
      Castro started at second base and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's loss against the Yankees.

      Advice: Castro has played several positions this season and has moved frequently during games, but he's now set to start mostly at second base due to Edouard Julien being sent to Triple-A. He'll likely soon accumulate enough games at second base (three games played at second this season) to qualify at another position in most formats. (He's already played more than 10 games at third base, shortstop and outfield.) Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:59 am

    • Returns against righty
      Lowe started at first base and went 1-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: Lowe returned to the starting lineup against a right-hander following three consecutive games on the bench against a lefty. He was eventually removed for pinch hitter Robbie Grossman in the ninth inning against a left-hander. Lowe's line against southpaws in 2024 is down from his career standard -- .619 OPS this season compared to .761 for his career -- but that's still better than the alternative. Ezequiel Duran, who started at first base while Lowe was benched, owns a .604 OPS against lefties in 2024. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:48 am
       
    • Makes impact in return
      Robert (hip) went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: Robert's blast gave the White Sox a lead in the seventh inning, but they couldn't make it stick. This was his first game in nearly two months after the oft-injured outfielder was sidelined by a Grade 2 hip flexor strain in early April. Despite the absence, he's already at three homers through eight games this season. Robert has the potential to make a noticeable impact in fantasy, but his managers will need to be mindful to check for his presence in the lineup, as he's not expected to be a full-time option immediately after such a lengthy absence. Given his injury history, it's likely wise for the White Sox to make sure he gets regular rest, though some of those days could see his bat stay in the lineup as the designated hitter if he's hitting too well to fully sit.

    • Luis Robert Jr. notches two hits, homers in return
      Luis Robert Jr. went 2-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday’s loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: After watching his team’s bullpen give away a 5-1 lead in the sixth inning, Robert smacked a 463-foot homer to left-center to put the White Sox back on top 6-5. It was the third home run of the season for Robert, who was activated off the 10-day injured list earlier in the day after missing almost two months with a hip injury. Robert is slashing .250/.273/.594 in just 32 at-bats this season and has five RBI and a stolen base to go with his three homers. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:22 pm
       
    • Another multi-homer game
      Mountcastle went 2-for-5 with a three-run home run and a two-run shot during Tuesday's 10-1 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Mountcastle was a one-man wrecking crew Tuesday, launching homers in the third and fifth innings -- both off Bowden Francis. The outing was Mountcastle's second multi-homer game of June and the 10th of his career. The first baseman has been on fire during the O's last four series, a stretch where he's batting .388 with 11 RBI and 10 runs scored across 12 games. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:15 pm
       
    • Mountcastle’s two-homer, five RBI night downs Jays
      Ryan Mountcastle went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Mountcastle forced a 12-pitch at-bat against Trevor Richards in the first inning before striking out and turned his second at-bat into a three-run bomb off Bowden Francis to put the Orioles up 4-0. He would homer again in the fifth, sending a two-run shot into the stands to push the lead to 7-0. Mountcastle has now hit safely in eight of his last 10 games and will have another chance to assert his dominance over the Jays on Wednesday. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:53 pm
       
    • Nathaniel Lowe returns to lineup Tuesday vs. Tigers
      Nathaniel Lowe is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Tigers.

      Advice: Lowe is back at first base and batting fifth for the first time in three contests as he got an extended break to reset mentally. The 28-year-old slugger is batting .256 (34-for-133) with two homers and one steal in 39 games since making his season debut back in late April. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:21 pm
