• Getting first day off
    Alonso is absent from the lineup for Monday's contest in St. Louis.

    Advice: It's the first day off this season for Alonso, who is in a 1-for-28 drought at the plate to drop his season batting line down to just .206/.295/.420. He should be back in there Tuesday. On Monday, it will be DJ Stewart getting his first major-league start at first base. Rotowire.com 1 minute ago
  • Retreating to bench Monday
    Miranda is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Miranda should be an indirect beneficiary from a playing-time standpoint while Byron Buxton (knee) is on the 10-day injured list, as Miranda had started at third base in each of the previous three games while Willi Castro moved to the outfield to help cover for Buxton's absence. However, Castro will draw the start at the hot corner Monday, opening up center field for Manuel Margot. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
  • Taking seat Monday
    Machado is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: It's a rare day off for Machado, who had started nine straight after returning from paternity leave. Donovan Solano will handle third base Monday in his first start with the Padres. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
  • Won't start Monday
    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Jeffers had started each of Minnesota's last three games -- two at catcher and one at designated hitter -- so his absence from the lineup Monday is likely just a rest day. Christian Vazquez will fill in behind the dish and will bat eighth. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
  • Brice Turang out of lineup Monday vs. Royals
    Brice Turang is out of the starting lineup against the Royals on Monday.

    Advice: Turang will get a rare day off with Joey Ortiz getting a start at second base while he rests. In 2024, Turang has given the Brewers and fantasy teams 14 stolen bases, which has been a pleasant surprise. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
  • Getting Monday off
    Turang is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Turang -- who is tied for second in the majors with 14 stolen bases -- will hit the bench for just the third time all season in what looks to be a maintenance day. Joey Ortiz will fill in for Turang at the keystone and will bat second. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
  • Gary Sanchez getting first start since Tuesday
    Gary Sanchez is hitting sixth and catching Monday against the Royals.

    Advice: Sanchez, 31, will make his first start since he was removed from Tuesday’s game with hamstring tightness. The veteran backstop will give William Contreras a break from catching with Contreras leading off as the designated hitter. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
  • Filling bench role Monday
    Black is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: After being called up from Triple-A Nashville last Tuesday, Black worked in a reserve role for his MLB debut that day but proceeded to start at first base or designated hitter in each of the Brewers' subsequent four contests. Black went 2-for-15 with seven strikeouts over those four starts, but the Brewers will likely give him some more time to right the ship as an everyday player, at least against right-handed pitching. The lefty-hitting Black will hit the bench against Royals southpaw Cole Ragans on Monday. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
  • Pablo Reyes sent outright to Triple-A by Boston
    Red Sox sent INF Pablo Reyes outright to Triple-A Worcester.

    Advice: Reyes was designated for assignment and went unclaimed. The 30-year-old could elect free agency, but he also has the option to just report back to the minors to provide organizational depth. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
