  • Remaining out of lineup
    Drury (illness) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Drury hasn't seen the field since June 21 due to an upper-respiratory illness, and he won't return to the lineup for Sunday's series finale versus Detroit. According to Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com, Drury is avialable off the bench Sunday and should return to the starting nine Tuesday in Oakland. Luis Rengifo will again man the keystone while Miguel Sano starts at third base. Rotowire.com Today, 12:26 pm

  • Ryan Mountcastle out again Sunday vs. Rangers
    Ryan Mountcastle is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rangers.

    Advice: This makes back-to-back games Mountcastle has missed, but there’s been no injury update. The first baseman will get another day off with Ryan O’Hearn starting at first base and Heston Kjerstad as the designated hitter. Rotoworld Today, 12:24 pm
     
  • Brandon Drury (illness) out again Sunday vs. DET

  • Goes deep in win
    Tellez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win against Atlanta.

    Advice: Tellez continued his hot month of June, as he now has three of his four homers and 14 of his 22 RBI for the season over his last 19 games. He had a .940 OPS in June after entering the month with a .463 OPS for the season. The 29-year-old is turning the corner and has elevated his slash line to .230/.286/.332 for the season.

  • Retreating to bench vs. lefty
    Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The platoon-happy Giants will hold out Wade and fellow lefty-hitting regulars Michael Conforto and Brett Wisely while the Dodgers send a southpaw (James Paxton) to the hill. David Villar will check in at first base in place of Wade, who went 2-for-9 with a double, a walk and a run scored in the first two games of the series following his return from a month-long stay on the injured list due to a hamstring strain.

  • Exiting starting nine Sunday
    Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Biggio will head to the bench after he started at third base over the first two games of the series, going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts. Chris Taylor will step in at third base in place of Biggio, who is slashing just .167/.265/.167 with a 35.3 percent strikeout rate since being acquired from the Blue Jays on June 12.

  • Hitting bench in series finale
    Carpenter is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Carpenter had gone 3-for-6 with a double, a walk, two runs and two RBI while starting in each of the Cardinals' previous three matchups versus righties, but he'll take a seat Sunday even as Cincinnati brings righty Hunter Greene to the mound. Though the Cardinals still seem to view Carpenter as their primary designated hitter against righties, he'll head to the bench any time manager Oliver Marmol wants to give one his other everyday players a day out of the field. Willson Contreras will cede catching duties to Pedro Pages on Sunday while he replaces Carpenter at DH. Rotowire.com Today, 11:16 am
     
  • Tellez swats two-run homer in win over Atlanta
    Rowdy Tellez hit a two-run homer to help the Pirates to a win over Atlanta on Sunday.

    Advice: Tellez doubled the Pittsburgh lead with a two-run homer off Spencer Schwellenbach in the fifth inning. The 29-year-old has gone deep just four times in his 196 at-bats in 2024, and his slash of .230/.286/.322 doesn’t offer much fantasy relevance from the first base position.

  • Back to bench Sunday
    Arias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Arias started in five of the past six games while seeing action at three different positions, but he'll head to the bench in Sunday's series finale. The Guardians should continue to open up regular playing time for Arias against left-handed pitching, but his starting opportunities against right-handed pitching may be more sporadic while the Guardians have all of their regular hitters available with the exception of outfielder Will Brennan (ribs), who was recently placed on the injured list.
