  • On fire at Triple-A
    Noel is slashing .402/.471/.705 with nine home runs and a 14.5 percent strikeout rate in his last 30 games for Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: With Kyle Manzardo failing to take a big-league job and run with it and Noel already being on the 40-man roster, Noel could get a shot as Cleveland's designated hitter sometime this summer. The righty-hitting slugger has huge raw power, and while he has seen 25 starts in the corner outfield spots this season, he's probably too big (6-foot-3, 250 pounds) to get regular starts in the outfield at the highest level.

  • Sitting against righty Wednesday
    McKinstry is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: After he was on the bench for Tuesday's 4-1 win while southpaw Ranger Suarez took the hill for the Phillies, the lefty-hitting McKinstry will remain out of the lineup against Philadelphia right-hander Spencer Turnbull in the series finale. The Tigers may not be adhering to a strict platoon at shortstop between McKinstry and the righty-hitting Ryan Kreidler, as McKinstry has now sat in three of Detroit's last five matchups with righties.

  • Resting for day game
    Urshela is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: He'll take a seat for the day game after a night game, paving the way for Matt Vierling to pick up a start at third base. Urshela had been included in the Detroit lineup in each of the last nine games, going just 4-for-34 at the plate to bring his batting average down to .253 for the season. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Resting Wednesday
    Rogers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: Rogers had started behind the plate in three of Detroit's last four games while going 3-for-10 with a walk and two runs. He'll get a breather for the day game Wednesday while Carson Kelly draws the start at catcher. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Day off Wednesday
    Walls is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Mariners.

    Advice: Walls had a rare big night offensively in Tuesday's win over Seattle, but he'll begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Jose Caballero is getting the start at shortstop for the Rays. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago

  • Sitting out Wednesday
    Rortvedt is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Rortvedt started the previous two contests and homered in Tuesday's night game, but he'll begin Wednesday's afternoon contest on the bench. Alex Jackson will do the catching for the Rays. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
     
  • Swipes first bag of season
    Tellez went 2-for-4 with a walk, two runs scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 9-5 win over the Reds.

    Advice: The burly first baseman stole the fourth bag of his career, and his first since 2022, in the first inning as the Pirates grabbed an early 3-0 lead. Tellez has been enjoying his strong-side platoon role in June -- through 59 plate appearances this month, he's slashing .352/.407/.500 with five doubles, a homer, six runs and 11 RBI.

  • Returns to lineup
    Rosario (face) will start at second base and bat sixth in Wednesday's contest versus the Mariners.

    Advice: It's Rosario's first start since he was hit in the face by a pitch Sunday against the Pirates. He's filling in at second base for Brandon Lowe (toe), who remains out. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago

  • Remains out of lineup
    Lowe (toe) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: It's the fourth straight start Lowe has missed as he deals with a fractured right pinky toe. The plan still seems to be for Lowe to attempt to play through the injury, and perhaps he'll be ready to do so Friday following the Rays' off day Thursday. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
