  • Receiving breather Sunday
    Jansen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Jansen will get a routine maintenance day in the series finale after drawing starts at catcher in each of the Blue Jays' previous three games. Alejandro Kirk will check in for him behind the dish. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Workload picking up
    Fermin will start at catcher and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Fermin will be behind the dish for the fifth time in seven games while Salvador Perez gets a day off from catching and serves as the Royals' designated hitter. Nelson Velazquez has served as the Royals' primary DH all season, but he's been occupying more of a part-time role of late as manager Matt Quartaro has look to make room in the lineup for Fermin, who has gone 5-for-18 with a solo home run and three walks over his last six games.

  • Getting rest Sunday
    Nido is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Nido will get a breather for the series finale after he caught both of the Mets' previous two games. Omar Narvaez will replace Nido behind the plate and will bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:52 am
     
  • Swats pair of doubles Saturday
    Garver went 2-for-5 with an RBI double and another two-bagger in a win over the Astros on Saturday.

    Advice: Garver plated Jorge Polanco with his fourth-inning double, giving him his fourth RBI over the last seven games. The veteran offseason acquisition's solid performance Saturday notwithstanding, the early portion of his Mariners tenure qualifies as a considerable disappointment that's illustrated by his anemic .152/.262/.315 slash line and 32.7 percent strikeout rate across 107 plate appearances.

  • On bench in second straight
    Bart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Though he stuck around over Henry Davis -- who was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday -- once Yasmani Grandal (foot) was activated from the 10-day injured list, Bart looks as though he'll operate as the Pirates' No. 2 option behind the plate. He'll take a seat for the second straight day while Grandal logs another start at catcher. Rotowire.com Today, 8:42 am
     
  • Pedro Pages sent back to Memphis by Cardinals
    Cardinals optioned C Pedro Pages to Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: Pages is off the active roster to make room for Dylan Carlson after Carlson was activated off the 10-day injured list. Pages should get a chance to play regularly in Memphis. Rotoworld Today, 8:14 am
     
  • Logan O’Hoppe out Sunday with hand contusion
    Logan O’Hoppe (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Guardians.

    Advice: O’Hoppe is going to miss at least one more game after he was hit with a foul ball during Saturday’s contest against Cleveland and he was forced to exit. Matt Thaiss gets the start behind the plate and will hit seventh. O’Hoppe should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 7:58 am
     
  • Not in Sunday's lineup
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Rortvedt started four of the previous five games but will receive Sunday off after he went 3-for-12 with four strikeouts during that stretch. Alex Jackson will step in behind the plate to catch for Ryan Pepiot on Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 7:56 am
     
  • Not starting Sunday
    O'Hoppe (hand) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: As expected, O'Hoppe will be on the bench for the day game to close out the series in Cleveland after he exited Saturday's 7-1 loss with a right hand contusion. Matt Thaiss will step in behind the plate for O'Hoppe, who should be viewed as day-to-day heading into Monday's series opener in Pittsburgh. Rotowire.com Today, 7:50 am
