  • Sitting out Thursday
    Palacios is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Minnesota.

    Advice: Palacios typically starts against right-handers, but this marks the second time in the last two contests that he hasn't been in the lineup versus a righty. The 27-year-old is just 4-for-35 at the plate so far in June. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Out of Thursday's lineup
    Walls is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Minnesota.

    Advice: Walls started six of eight games at shortstop after returning from the injured list but has now been in the lineup just once over the last five tilts, although he was battling an illness for some of that time. Jose Caballero will handle the shortstop position Thursday. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

  • Austin Martin starting again for Twins
    Austin Martin is starting at second base for the Twins on Thursday with Willi Castro on the bench.

    Advice: Martin has now started four straight games and five of six since being promoted from Triple-A. Martin is 7-for-15 in those five games with four runs, two RBI, and a steal. If the Twins continue to move him all over the field and keep him in the starting lineup then Martin could produce enough value to be rostered in deeper formats. Kyle Farmer will play up the middle with Martin at shortstop with Carlos Correa getting a day off. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago

  • Sitting against southpaw
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: With lefty Logan Allen on the hill for Cleveland, Rojas and fellow left-handed-hitting regulars Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley will retreat to the bench. Dylan Moore will move over from his usual spot at second base to cover the hot corner in Rojas' stead. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago

  • Starting rehab assignment
    Rodgers (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Rodgers participated in batting practice drills Tuesday and Wednesday before heading out for game action. He has been sidelined for around two weeks, so he shouldn't need a particularly long rehab assignment prior to being activated. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
     
  • Long starting streak comes to end
    Castro is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: For the first time since April 15, Castro will head to the bench, ending a streak of 59 consecutive starts. Though he opened the season in a utility role, Castro has solidified an everyday role thanks to his positional versatility and solid production at the plate. Austin Martin will enter the lineup at second base in place of Castro, who has been dialed in of late with a .368/.429/.605 slash line to go with one home run, six doubles, one stolen base, nine runs and four RBI over his last nine starts.

  • Sitting out Thursday
    Perdomo isn't in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Nationals.

    Advice: Perdomo had started five straight games and seven of eight since returning from the injured list June 11, but he'll begin the series finale in Washington on the bench. Kevin Newman will handle shortstop for the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 6:24 am
     
  • Two hits, steal in win
    Hamilton started at shortstop and went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and an RBI in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Hamilton returned to the starting lineup after dealing with discomfort in his side. He put the Red Sox on top, 1-0, with a run-producing single in the third inning and later stole his 20th base of the season. Hamilton has been prominent in the team's recent transition to the "Running Red Sox," who have attempted 17 steals (twice caught) over the last four games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:24 am
     
  • Gets another start
    Espinal started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Espinal received a second consecutive start at the hot corner, as Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) was unavailable. This could be a situation where manager David Bell is giving Candelario multiple days off, including an off day Thursday, so that he can ready to go Friday when the Reds open a home series against the suddenly hot Red Sox.
