  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Martinez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Manager Carlos Mendoza will continue the trend of sitting Martinez for the series finale, which is now the case for the third straight series since the veteran slugger made his season debut April 26. DJ Stewart will bat fifth as the designated hitter Sunday. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Cardinals activate Dylan Carlson off injured list
    Cardinals activated OF Dylan Carlson off the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Carlson is off the injured list, and the 25-year-old is hitting fifth while playing center field in his debut. The outfielder missed just around a month after injuring his shoulder in a crash during spring training. Carlson helps the Cardinals’ depth, but the former top prospect hasn’t had much offensive success at the highest level just yet. Fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach.

  • Nelson Velazquez out of action Sunday vs. Rangers
    Nelson Velazquez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Velazquez has not found much success in 2024 with an OPS of just .635 over 92 at-bats, and he’ll retreat to the bench against right-hander Jon Grey on Sunday. Salvador Perez will lineup at designated hitter while hitting in his usual fourth spot in the lineup while Freddy Fermin gets the start behind the plate. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
     
  • Steven Kwan out Sunday due to hamstring tightness
    Steven Kwan (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Angels.

    Advice: Kwan left Saturday with hamstring tightness, and it’s not surprising to see him out of the lineup for the series finale. With the 26-year-old out of action, the Guardians will have Will Brennan play in left field, which Estevan Florial will act as designated hitter and hit in Kwan’s leadoff spot. For now, he should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago

  • Won't start Sunday
    Kwan (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Kwan is out of the lineup for just the second time all season, with his absence coming as no surprise after he was removed from Saturday's 7-1 win left hamstring tightness. The 26-year-old is slated to undergo an MRI on Sunday, but the Guardians have yet to provide an update on the findings from those tests. Until the team offers more clarity on his status, Kwan should be viewed as day-to-day heading into Cleveland's upcoming seven-game week. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

  • J.D. Martinez gets Sunday off against Rays
    J.D. Martinez is not in the lineup for Sunday’s tilt with the Rays.

    Advice: Martinez went 1-for-8 over the first two games of the series and is hitting .267 with a .624 OPS thus far in his limited action. He’ll get a day off with DJ Stewart hitting fifth as the designated hitter for the Mets on Sunday. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Gaining traction in everyday lineup
    Calhoun will serve as the Angels' designated hitter and cleanup batter in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Calhoun will stick in the starting nine for the third straight game after going 4-for-8 with two doubles and one run to begin his tenure with the Angels. At least while Miguel Sano (knee) and Anthony Rendon (hamstring) are on the injured list, the lefty-hitting Calhoun should be in store for regular starts as the Angels' DH against right-handed pitching.

  • Stepping out of lineup
    Ramirez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: Ramirez went 3-for-8 with a run and three strikeouts while starting the first two games of the series but will take a seat for Sunday's finale. Amed Rosario will receive a turn at designated hitter while Richie Palacios starts at the keystone. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Hitless in return
    Siri (thigh) went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts during Saturday's 3-1 win against the Mets.

    Advice: The 28-year-old was unavailable the previous two games while serving a suspension but was back in center field Saturday for the Rays. The thigh injury Siri suffered on a hit-by-pitch Tuesday also no longer seems to be a concern. He's back in center field for Sunday's series finale, batting ninth. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
