  • Leaves with hamstring tightness
    Refsnyder was removed from Sunday's game against the Twins with left hamstring tightness, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: Refsnyder started in left field and went 1-for-2 with an RBI prior to exiting the contest. He'll have Monday's team off day to recover ahead of Tuesday's series opener in Atlanta. Rotowire.com Today, 1:27 pm

  • Heading to bench
    Fairchild is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Fairchild started the past four games but will take a seat Sunday after going 1-for-10 with a solo homer and five strikeouts. Will Benson will shift to center field while Jake Fraley starts in right. Rotowire.com Today, 12:35 pm
     
  • Getting day off against lefty
    Lux is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Lux is one of three lefty-hitting regulars along with Max Muncy and James Outman who will hit the bench while southpaw Max Fried takes the hill for Atlanta. Miguel Rojas will fill in for Lux at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 12:23 pm

  • Facing 2-to-3-week absence
    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said Sunday that Wiemer (knee) is expected to be sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Milwaukee placed Wiemer on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a strained popliteus muscle in his left knee, an injury he suffered in Friday's win over the Cubs. While Wiemer will be sidelined for beyond the minimum 10 days, he won't require surgery and will be able to treat the injury with rest and rehab. Once he completes his rehab assignment and is activated from the IL, Wiemer could be optioned to Triple-A Nashville, depending on the overall health of the Milwaukee outfield.

  • Emerging as primary DH
    Wisdom will serve as the Cubs' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Wisdom is starting at DH for the third time in four games, and he looks like the role will be his for the taking for the time being after the Cubs optioned Matt Mervis to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday. He should have an opportunity to see steady playing time until the Cubs get at least one of Seiya Suzuki (oblique) or Cody Bellinger (ribs) back from the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 11:32 am

  • Losing work to Tyler Black
    Bauers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Bauers is on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Javier Assad) for the second day in a row. With prospect Tyler Black recently getting a call-up from Triple-A Nashville and quickly moving into a regular role, Bauers' time as an everyday player versus right-handed pitching has seemingly come to an end.

  • Resting against lefty
    Burleson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Burleson's streak of five consecutive starts will come to an end while he exits the lineup with southpaw Garrett Crochet on the hill for the White Sox. With Burleson on the bench, Willson Contreras will get a day off of catching and instead serve as the Cardinals' designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 11:14 am

  • Moves into reserve role
    Siani is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Dating back to April 20, Siani had started in all but one of the Cardinals' last 13 games, but his run as an everyday player has likely come to an end with Dylan Carlson (shoulder) returning from the 10-day injured list Sunday. Carlson will start in center field in his first game back from the shelf and should immediately settle into a full-time role. Rotowire.com Today, 11:12 am
     
  • Back in lineup versus lefty
    Bouchard will start in right field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Pirates, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Bouchard is back in the lineup after he was on the bench for each of the previous three games. The 27-year-old looked as though he might have been headed for a full-time role in right field once Kris Bryant (back) was placed on the injured list April 17, but Bouchard's opportunity seems to have fallen by the wayside while he's posted a .619 OPS through 33 plate appearances in the big leagues this season. While he's in starting nine Sunday against Pirates southpaw Bailey Falter, the right-handed-hitting Bouchard could end up occupying the short side of a platoon in right field with the lefty-hitting Jake Cave until Bryant returns.
