    • Could skip rehab start
      Winn (forearm) could skip a rehab start in the wake of the Blake Snell (groin) injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

      Advice: Winn remains tentatively scheduled for a rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday, but the Giants might need him more in the majors now with Snell expected to land on the injured list. Snell's next turn comes up Saturday, although it's possible Winn is brought back to start earlier than that and the rest of the rotation is pushed back. Because Winn isn't fully stretched out yet, fantasy managers would be best off keeping him benched this week, either way. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
       
    • Will play against lefties
      Westbrook is expected to start at second base against lefties, Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: The Red Sox placed a pair of infielders on the injured list Sunday -- Vaughn Grissom and Romy Gonzalez each hit the IL with hamstring injuries. That opens a path to playing time for Westbrook (against lefties) and Enmanuel Valdez (righties). Westbrook, 28, made his MLB debut Sunday as a pinch hitter -- he walked for Wilyer Abreu. After a day off Monday, Boston resumes its scheduled Tuesday against Atlanta, which is scheduled to throw left-hander Max Fried. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
       
    • Secures save Sunday
      Diaz walked one batter and struck out another in a scoreless inning Sunday. He earned a save over the Cubs.

      Advice: Diaz worked around a leadoff walk to finish off the 5-2 victory. He's struggled at times throughout the year but he appears to be turning a corner; Diaz has allowed one run over his last 5.2 innings while converting five straight save opportunities. The 27-year-old righty has 12 saves with a 23:16 K:BB and 5.64 ERA through 22.1 innings this season. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
       
    • Will be primary second baseman
      Valdez started at second base and went 1-for-5 with an RBI in Sunday's 8-4 extra-inning loss to Detroit.

      Advice: Valdez made a second consecutive start Sunday -- he was the DH on Saturday -- and is expected to serve as the primary second baseman (against right-handers) while Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) and Romy Gonzalez (hamstring) are unavailable, per Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe. Those two were placed on the injured list Sunday. Valdez will share the position with Jamie Westbrook (against lefties). Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
       
    • Wins with quality start
      Lodolo (5-2) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out three and earning a win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Lodolo kept the Cubs off the board through four innings before they tallied a run in the fifth and sixth innings. He's allowed three runs over 11.1 innings while winning his last two starts since returning from the injured list. However, he's totaled just six punchouts during that span. On the year, Lodolo owns a 3.11 ERA with a 49:10 K:BB through 46.1 frames. His next start is projected to be a rematch with the Cubs at home. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
       
    • To face live hitters
      Mahle (elbow) is expected to face live hitters Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Mahle recently completed a bullpen session, and facing live hitters appears to be just another step in the process. It's been a little more than a year since the right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery, and Mahle is not expected to be ready for game action until some point after the All-Star break.

    • Jon Gray (groin) to face live hitters on Monday
      Jon Gray (groin) is scheduled to face live hitters on Monday.

      Advice: The Rangers remain hopeful that Gray will only need a minimum stint on the injured list, so there’s a lot riding on Monday’s session. If all goes well there, he could be cleared to return to the rotation later in the week without needing a minor league rehab assignment. The 32-year-old hurler has been sidelined since May 22 due to a right groin strain. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago

    • Scheduled for live batters
      Gray (groin) is scheduled to face live hitters Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: A clearer indication of when Gray could return from the injured list should emerge following Monday's session. At the time of his placement on the IL, the right-hander was not expected to miss much more than the 15-day minimum. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago

    • Throws bullpen
      Scherzer (back/arm) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: After throwing about 25 pitches during Saturday's session, Scherzer gave a thumbs up when he arrived at the clubhouse Sunday. Depending on how he recovers and conversations with the training staff, Scherzer could face live batters Monday. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
