  • Returns to lineup Monday
    Martinez (illness) will start at designated hitter and bat cleanup in Monday's game in Cleveland.

    Advice: Martinez sat out Sunday's contest due to flu-like symptoms but is feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The veteran DH has slashed .315/.359/.466 with two home runs in 21 games to begin his tenure with the Mets. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:35 pm
     
  • Triples in two straight
    Carroll went 1-for-4 with a triple, a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over Detroit. He was also caught stealing.

    Advice: Carroll tripled to lead off the bottom of the first inning and scored the first of two Arizona runs during the frame. It was the second straight game with a triple for Carroll, who finished second in MLB last season with 10 three-baggers. He was moved back to the leadoff spot seven games ago, but it hasn't done much to break Carroll's season-long slump; he's 4-for-24 with three extra-base hits and five runs since the move and has been caught stealing twice.

  • Two hits, steal in win
    Mullins went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

    Advice: This was Mullins' first multi-hit game since April 21. Over the 19 contests in between, he went a poor 6-for-63 (.095) with two steals and three RBI. Mullins has started to lose playing time, with Colton Cowser being the main beneficiary in center field. For the season, Mullins is slashing just .194/.241/.351 with seven steals, six home runs, 20 RBI, 17 runs scored and three doubles over 145 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:31 pm
     
  • Cedric Mullins knocks in two, steals base in win
    Cedric Mullins went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a steal against the Mariners on Sunday.

    Advice: Mullins snapped a hitless skid with a bunt single Saturday and today had two clean singles, both of which knocked in runs. He’s still batting just .194/.241/.351, but this seems like progress, and he has a nice schedule coming up against the Cardinals and White Sox this week. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:54 pm

    J.D. Martinez is not in the starting lineup Sunday due to flu-like symptoms according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

    Advice: Heyman also reports that Francisco Lindor and Harrison Bader are also under the weather, but they’re in the lineup. For now, Martinez should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:08 am
     
  • Battling flu-like symptoms

  • Resting up Sunday
    Martinez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: The 36-year-old will get a breather in the series finale as Brandon Nimmo slots in as the designated hitter against right-hander Sixto Sanchez. Martinez seems to be finding his power stroke finally after joining the team late in spring training; he has five extra-base hits -- including two homers -- in his last eight games.

  • Cedric Mullins sits against another righty Friday
    Cedric Mullins is absent from the Orioles’ starting lineup on Friday night against the Mariners.

    Advice: It’s starting to become a trend that the once-feared slugger is now sitting against right-handers. Mullins has now found himself stationed on the pine three times in the team’s past five ballgames. Colton Cowser will cover center field in his place while Kyle Stowers will draw a start in left field and bat eighth for the O’s against Bryce Miller and the Mariners. Rotoworld Friday, 2:21 pm
