  • Sitting amid slump
    Schneider is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Scheider has a .165/.221/.304 slash line through 25 games in June and will hit the bench Sunday after going 1-for-14 over his past six contests. Daulton Varsho will shift to left field while Kevin Kiermaier receives a start in center. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:58 am
     
  • Being evaluated for activation
    The Diamondbacks will assess Sunday whether Thomas (hamstring) is ready to be activated from the 10-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Thomas played in rehab games Friday and Saturday for Triple-A Reno. He started in center field and played nine innings on both occasions. The outfielder has a combined 32 plate appearances while on his rehab assignment and is hitting .310/.344/.483 between stops with Reno and the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

  • Smacks homer in loss
    Hill went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Hill briefly put the Rangers ahead 2-1 when he took Cade Povich deep in the fifth inning. Hill has hit safely in each of his three games since he was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, though he's also struck out four times over 10 plate appearances in that span. He's hitting .263 (5-for-19) with two stolen bases in the majors this year, and he's likely to function as a fourth outfielder as long as he's up with the Rangers.

  • Garrett Mitchell not likely to join Brewers Sunday
    Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy said after Saturday’s loss to the Cubs that he didn’t expect Garrett Mitchell to join the big league roster on Sunday.

    Advice: It’s curious, as Murphy told reporters after Friday’s game that there was no plan to option Mitchell to Triple-A Nashville once his rehab assignment came to an end on Saturday. Something has to give. It sounds like the 25-year-old outfielder is going to remain at the Triple-A level for the time being instead of adding to an already crowded outfield mix in Milwaukee.

  • Luke Raley (shoulder) returns to lineup Saturday
    Luke Raley (shoulder) returned to the Mariners’ starting lineup on Saturday.

    Advice: Raley missed each of the team’s previous two games due to soreness in his shoulder. He’s right back out there on Saturday night though, batting fifth and starting in left field against Pablo Lopez and the Twins. The 29-year-old has hit .253/.299/.444 with nine homers, 22 RBI and five stolen bases in 212 plate appearances with the M’s this season. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:11 pm
     
  • Back in lineup
    Raley (shoulder) will bat fifth and play left field Saturday against Minnesota.

    Advice: Raley was held out of the starting nine for back-to-back games with shoulder soreness, but he's feeling good enough to start Saturday. He entered Friday's 3-2 win as a pinch runner in the eighth inning and put down a sacrifice bunt in his lone plate appearance. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:51 pm
     
  • Resting Saturday
    Rosario isn't in the Nationals' lineup for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Rosario will get a breather Saturday after going 1-for-4 in Friday's series opener -- his first hit in his last four games. His absence will allow Harold Ramirez to serve as Washington's DH while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:26 am
     
  • Sitting again Saturday
    Butler is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Even with Arizona sending right-hander Zac Gallen to the mound Saturday, the lefty-hitting Butler will begin the game in the dugout. Daz Cameron will start in right field and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:47 am
     
  • Joey Loperfido on the bench Saturday vs. Mets
    Joey Loperfido is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Mets.

    Advice: Loperfido sits for the first time in seven contests since returning last week from Triple-A Sugar Land. The 25-year-old slugging prospect has just four hits in 19 at-bats during that stretch. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:34 am
