  • Not starting again
    McCormick is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Angels, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: McCormick will be on the bench for a third straight game Friday. He's played in nine games since returning from the injured list May 21, going 2-for-23 with seven strikeouts over that span. Yordan Alvarez will start in left field Friday, while Yainer Diaz will serve as the designated hitter against Angels right hander Griffin Canning. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:01 pm
     
  • Resting versus lefty
    Varsho isn't in the Blue Jays' lineup Friday against the Athletics.

    Advice: Left-hander Hogan Harris will start on the bump for Oakland, so the lefty-hitting Varsho will watch the beginning of Friday's game from the dugout. Davis Schneider will fill the opening in left field, moving Isiah Kiner-Falefa to second base while Ernie Clement starts at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:58 pm
     
  • Returns to action
    O'Neill started at designated hitter and went 2-for-3 with two runs scored in Thursday's 14-2 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: This was O'Neill's second game back after being reinstated from the injured list Wednesday. He played nine innings in right field Wednesday. The veteran outfielder hit safely in both games, going 4-for-7 with a walk, an RBI and three runs scored. Given the blowout nature of Thursday's contest, Red Sox manager Alex Cora opted to pull O'Neill after six innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:30 am

  • Resting Thursday
    Colas isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Colas registered his first hit in the majors this season during Wednesday's loss to the Cubs, and he'll now take a seat for Thursday's series opener versus Boston. Zach DeLoach, Duke Ellis and Gavin Sheets will start across the White Sox's outfield with Luis Robert in as the DH. Rotowire.com Thursday, 1:36 pm
     
  • Not in lineup
    Siri is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Miami, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Siri has driven in eight runs over his last seven contests -- including one in the first game of the series Tuesday -- but he'll begin Wednesday's tilt on the bench. Josh Lowe will patrol center field for the Rays. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:44 pm
     
  • Absent from lineup
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Rojas is getting a routine day off after starting in each of the previous five and nine of the last 10 contests. Cristian Pache will patrol center field Wednesday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:31 am
     
  • Red Sox activate Tyler O’Neill, start him in RF
    Red Sox activated OF Tyler O’Neill from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: O’Neill, who missed 10 games with a knee injury, is starting in right field and batting fifth against the Braves today. Red Sox manager Alex Cora also said he’d do a fair amount of DHing, with Rob Refsnyder playing right, in the short term. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:41 am

  • Batting fifth in return from IL
    The Red Sox reinstated O'Neill (knee) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll start in right field and bat fifth in Wednesday's series finale with Atlanta, according to Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald.

    Advice: He'll be back in action after spending the minimum 10 days on the shelf with right knee inflammation. Prior to being deactivated, O'Neill had been making most of his starts in left field or at designated hitter, but he could see regular action in right field for the foreseeable future after Wilyer Abreu (ankle) was placed on the IL on Tuesday.

  • Chas McCormick again out of Astros lineup
    Even with Kyle Tucker absent, Chas McCormick is on the bench for a second straight game Wednesday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: The Astros are going with a Yordan Alvarez-Mauricio Dubón-Trey Cabbage outfield and playing Jon Singleton at DH. McCormick, who was one of the AL’s better hitters in 2023, has struggled since day one this season, and the Astros’ recent usage of him certainly isn’t designed to help him find any rhythm. They might weigh sending him down to Triple-A for a few weeks. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:30 am
