  • Trevor Larnach hits sixth homer versus Astros
    Trevor Larnach hit a leadoff homer and walked Sunday against the Astros.

    Advice: Larnach’s two balls in play today were hit 106.9 mph and 105.6 mph, with the latter being a lineout to center. It was an important day for him, as the Twins are going to have drop someone to make room for Royce Lewis on Tuesday and it’s not at all likely to be one of their veteran bench players. Larnach and Jose Miranda have made stronger cases for sticking around than Edouard Julien and Alex Kirilloff. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:21 pm
     
  • Will Brennan goes 2-for-3 in loss
    Will Brennan went 2-for-3 on Sunday in a loss to the Nationals. He also walked and scored a run.

    Advice: While unspectacular, Brennan has found himself in the Guardians’ lineup nearly every game this season. He’s already matched his home run total from 2023 with five, but doesn’t offer much to fantasy managers besides consistent at-bats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:10 pm
     
  • Ildemaro Vargas with two hits, stolen base
    Ildemaro Vargas went 2-for-3 scoring a run, driving one in, and stealing a base Sunday in a win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Vargas drew his second straight spot-start after CJ Abrams tweaked his shoulder on Friday and had a great all-around game. It’s unlikely his role grows unless Abrams needs a spell on the IL. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:09 pm

  • Heading to bench Sunday
    Bouchard is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Though he's on the bench for the second time in the series, Bouchard has been deployed as the Rockies' primary option in left field following Jordan Beck's (hand) placement on the injured list last Sunday. After getting called up from Triple-A Albuquerque the same day Beck was deactivated, Bouchard started in five of the ensuing six games, going 2-for-14 with a double, three walks, four runs, three RBI and two stolen bases. Hunter Goodman will spell Bouchard in left field Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:54 pm
     
  • Sitting again Sunday
    Donovan (neck) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: The 27-year-old will be withheld from the starting nine for the third consecutive game due to neck stiffness. According to John Denton of MLB.com, Donovan is expected to take swings in the batting cage Sunday and could be back in action Monday against the Astros. Alec Burleson will start in left field for the series finale while Matt Carpenter receives a turn at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:50 pm

  • Hitting bench Sunday
    Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Moore will take a seat in the series finale after he went 1-for-14 with eight strikeouts while starting each of the past four games at either second base or third base. While he remains in the mix for steady playing at the keystone with Jorge Polanco (hamstring) on the injured list, Moore looks to be slowing down at the plate after a hot run over the first three weeks of May. Dating back to May 23, Moore is slashing .103/.297/.138 over a stretch of nine games. If Moore's struggles continue, Ryan Bliss could end up unseating him as the preferred option at second base.

  • Heading back to bench Sunday
    Haniger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Haniger will take a seat for the series finale after he had started each of the last seven games in right field or at designated hitter while going 6-for-24 with one extra-base hit (a double) and two walks. Despite the recent uptick in playing time, Haniger still looks to be behind lefty hitters Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley for reps in the corner outfield when the Mariners face right-handed pitching, though Haniger should be a mainstay in the lineup against southpaws.

  • Taking seat versus southpaw
    Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Yastrzemski has a .569 OPS in 34 at-bats over his past 10 games and will sit Sunday as lefty Nestor Cortes takes the ball for the Yankees. Luis Matos will shift to right field while Tyler Fitzgerald receives a start in center. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:21 pm
