  • Back at DH on Monday
    Santander (knee) is batting fifth as the designated hitter Monday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Santander aggravated his bruised knee Saturday against the Mariners and was held out of the lineup Sunday, but he's been cleared to bat in the series opener at St. Louis. The 29-year-old said Sunday that running in the outfield has been a bit problematic, so he could continue to serve as Baltimore's DH for the next few days as he completes his recovery.

  • Gets break Sunday
    Diaz is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against Milwaukee.

    Advice: The 25-year-old will cede catching duties to Victor Caratini as the Astros finish out their series against the Brewers. Diaz has started four of the last five games for Houston, going 3-for-18 with three RBI in that stretch. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:31 am
     
  • Knee remains bothersome
    Santander is out of the lineup Sunday against the Mariners due to soreness and swelling in his left knee, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

    Advice: The 29-year-old served as Baltimore's designated hitter the past two days after he suffered a bruised knee Wednesday, and he aggravated the injury while running the bases. Santander said running in the outfield remains a bit of an issue, so he could be limited to DH duties for a few days as he gets back to full strength. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:29 am

  • Anthony Santander resting Sunday vs. Mariners
    Anthony Santander is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Santander did have a knee injury last week, but this appears to just be a day of rest for the outfielder. Austin Hays is starting against right-hander George Kirby and hitting sixth. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:50 am

  • Out of lineup Sunday
    Santander is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Seattle, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Santander started the last two games at designated hitter coming off the knee injury suffered Wednesday. The veteran outfielder will get a break Sunday as Baltimore rounds out its series with the Mariners, and it appears to just be a maintenance day since there's been no reports that he aggravated the injury.

  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr. collects three hits Saturday
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored, and an RBI against the Rays on Saturday.

    Advice: Guerrero Jr. doubled to lead off the fourth inning against Zach Eflin and came around to score on a single by George Springer. He added a run to the board for Toronto with an RBI-single in the fifth and led off the bottom of the eighth with his third hit of the day. The 25-year-old first baseman is hitting .280/.373/.393 with four homers and 20 RBI across 193 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 2:59 pm
     
  • Arraez back in the lineup Friday
    Arraez is back in the Padres lineup, hitting leadoff against the Braves on Friday.

    Advice: Arraez had a routine day off on Wednesday as the Padres faced Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber. He’s back in there as the designated hitter and leadoff man for Friday’s game. Rotoworld Friday, 12:51 pm

  • Starting as designated hitter
    Santander (knee) is in the starting lineup as the designated hitter for Friday's matchup against the Mariners.

    Advice: Santander hurt his knee in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays after first colliding with the outfield wall and then hitting it again during a slide, which led to his exit from the game. The veteran outfielder will be eased back into the lineup at designated hitter while Ryan O'Hearn mans right field. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:25 pm

  • Starting to find some power
    Diaz went 1-for-4 with a double, three RBI and a run scored Thursday against the Athletics.

    Advice: Diaz has hit well for average this season, but he has struggled to find much power as he has just a .119 ISO. He's started to show more pop of late, tallying three of his eight doubles on the campaign in his last nine games. Despite the lack of extra-base knocks, Diaz has managed 16 runs scored and 21 RBI across 42 games and comfortably remains Houston's top option behind the dish. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:20 am
