  • One of three sick Toronto players
    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Turner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles due to an illness, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Turner's absence from the lineup for Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Twins was believed to be for maintenance purposes while he was in the midst of a 1-for-22 slump at the plate over his previous five starts, but he's apparently a victim of the bug that seems to be making its way around the Toronto clubhouse. He'll be on the bench for a second straight day Monday, while George Springer and Kevin Kiermaier are out of the lineup for the third and fourth time, respectively, in the four games due to illnesses of their own.

  • Justin Turner out due to illness
    Justin Turner is on the bench Monday because of an illness.

    Advice: This also probably explains why he didn’t play Sunday, though there was nothing disclosed then. Turner is currently in a 3-for-34 slump that has dropped his OPS from .924 to .733. Daniel Vogelbach is DHing for the Jays tonight. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago

  • Marlins place Anderson to IL due to back tightness
    Marlins placed SS Tim Anderson on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 11m with lower back tightness.

    Advice: Anderson has looked even worse this season than he did last year, and if winning mattered, the Marlins might be better off releasing him than giving him another chance after he’s ready to return. Vidal Bruján will see most of the time at shortstop, it appears, though he was already playing regularly since the Luis Arraez trade. Anderson’s at-bats will go to Tristan Gray and Otto Lopez.

  • Sitting out series opener
    Paredes is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Paredes was hit in the helmet by a pitch in the seventh inning of Sunday's 10-6 loss to the Yankees, but he stayed in the game after being checked out. His absence from the lineup a day later may create some level of concern about his health, but Paredes could just be receiving a maintenance day after he had started in each of the Rays' last nine games. Amed Rosario will replace Paredes at the hot corner Monday, and for now, the expectation is that Paredes will be back in the lineup Tuesday. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

  • Making fourth straight start
    Clement will start at third base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Clement will stick in the starting nine for the fourth straight game, but the veteran utility man doesn't seem to moving into a full-time role. He's been the beneficiary of all of George Springer, Kevin Kiermaier and Justin Turner being out of the lineup at least twice apiece in the past four games. Kiermaier is still dealing with an illness, but Springer and Turner look to be healthy and should return to the lineup Tuesday, at which point Clement will likely move back into a bench role.

  • Gio Urshela (hamstring) likely to return Tuesday
    Gio Urshela will likely rejoin the Tigers prior to Tuesday’s game.

    Advice: Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press anticipates that Akil Baddoo will be sent down to make room. Urshela, out since April 19 with a strained hamstring, is 5-for-8 over three games on a rehab assignment. He’ll likely see quite a bit of time at third base, with Matt Vierling getting more action in the outfield. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago

  • Sitting in second straight game
    Turner is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: After going 1-for-22 over his last five starts to bring his season average down to .250, Turner will end up getting two days off to take a mental reset. Daniel Vogelbach will make a second straight start as the Blue Jays' designated hitter while Turner rests. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago

  • Pavin Smith in lineup for first time in five games
    Pavin Smith is making his first start since Wednesday in Monday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: The Diamondbacks picked Jake McCarthy over Smith the last two times they faced righties, and neither of the two plays against lefties. Most likely, either Smith or McCarthy is going to be sent down when Alek Thomas returns, though Thomas’s setback last week means that’s probably not imminent. Smith is hitting .207/,258/.379 in 31 plate appearances. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago
     
  • Placed on IL with back injury
    The Marlins placed Anderson on the 10-day injured list Monday, retroactive to May 11, with lower-back tightness.

    Advice: Anderson had missed the previous two games with the injury and evidently didn't show enough progress to avoid a stint on the IL. Because the move is backdated, he will be eligible to return in just over a week. However, it's unclear at this time whether he'll be ready by then. Vidal Brujan should continue to handle shortstop while Anderson is shelved. Rotowire.com Today, 1:13 pm
