  • Jackson Merrill not in lineup Monday vs. Reds
    Jackson Merrill is not in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: Merrill returned to the lineup from his groin injury on Saturday and also played Sunday, so this appears to be a day of maintenance for the 21-year-old. Jose Azocar will play center and hit eighth Monday. Rotoworld Today, 3:52 pm
     
  • J.P. Crawford (oblique) taking grounders Monday
    J.P. Crawford (oblique) is taking grounders before Monday’s game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Crawford is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with his oblique injury, but it’s a positive development that the 29-year-old is taking part in infield practice before Monday’s game. It’s very likely that Crawford will need a rehab assignment before returning to the Seattle lineup late in May. Rotoworld Today, 3:25 pm

  • Nearing rehab assignment
    Carpenter (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Thursday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: Carpenter has progressed well since being given an injection for his right oblique strain a week ago, having taken a couple rounds of batting practice without issue. It sounds like he might be ready for activation within the next week or so. Rotowire.com Today, 3:23 pm

  • Out of lineup Monday
    Schanuel isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's matchup versus Philadelphia, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Schanuel went 2-for-3 with a solo home run Sunday in a loss to the Twins, but he'll head to the bench Monday while Brandon Drury gets a start at first base. This will be Schanuel's first time out of the starting lineup since April 19. Rotowire.com Today, 3:21 pm
     
  • Tee work from both sides of plate
    Edman (wrist) took swings off a tee from both sides of the plate last week, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: Edman had been limited to hitting only from the right side due to lingering concerns about his surgically repaired right wrist. However, he's now progressed to hitting from both sides of the dish and has done so without any soreness. Edman will continue a hitting progression as tolerated and appears far off from a return, but he's progressing. Rotowire.com Today, 3:18 pm

  • Miguel Sanó (knee) absent Monday against Phillies
    Miguel Sanó is out of the lineup Monday against the Phillies.

    Advice: Sanó will miss at least one more game while dealing with soreness in his left knee. Ehire Adrianza is getting the start at third base while Sanó gets better. Rotoworld Today, 3:16 pm

  • Hits bench Monday
    Mead is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Mead had started at second or third base in each of the past 11 games, producing only two extra-base hits while getting on base at a .238 clip over that stretch. Though the 23-year-old remains one of the Rays' top prospects, he could be at risk of losing out on an everyday role once either Jonathan Aranda (finger) or Brandon Lowe (oblique) return from the 10-day injured list. In addition to Aranda and Lowe, Junior Caminero is back to full health at Triple-A Durham and has been sizzling at the plate of late, potentially making him a candidate to join the big club if the Rays want to swap out one infield prospect for another.

  • Swats first homer Sunday
    Rengifo went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and an additional run in Sunday's loss to Minnesota.

    Advice: Rengifo's two-run blast was a key part of a four-run fifth inning for the Halos, but Minnesota pulled away late to drop the Angels' record to 10-18. Rengifo has been a locked-in part of the team's lineup of late, starting five straight games at either second or third base. Since April 17, the utility man is slashing .343/.425/.514 with one homer, five RBI, six runs and three stolen bases over 11 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 3:11 pm

  • Gets day off
    Rosario is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Rosario is on the bench for the first time since April 13, breaking a stretch of 14 consecutive starts during which he slashed .351/.373/.509 with two home runs, two stolen bases, nine RBI and seven runs. He's seen action mostly in right field and second base during that time and should continue to maintain a near-everyday role so long as he remains productive at the dish. Rotowire.com Today, 3:09 pm
