    • Nick Madrigal sent to Triple-A by Cubs
      Cubs optioned INF Nick Madrigal to Triple-A Iowa.

      Advice: Madrigal, 27, will head back to Triple-A with David Bote taking his place on the roster. The former top prospect has once again not been effective at the plate with a .221/.280/.256 slash line in 94 plate appearances thus far. He’ll likely be back on the roster at some point this summer, but fantasy managers can ignore him in all formats. Bummer. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago

    • Sitting after two straight starts
      McKinstry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: McKinstry picked up starts at shortstop and second base Friday and Saturday, respectively, going 1-for-6 with a double. Though both Colt Keith (.594 OPS) and Javier Baez (.481 OPS) have turned in poor numbers as the Tigers' regular starters in the middle infield this season, McKinstry (.499 OPS in 91 plate appearances) hasn't done much to make a case for steadier playing time.

    • Taking seat versus lefty
      Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Palacios will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Jonathan Aranda, Ben Rortvedt and Brandon Lowe as the Rays roll a full right-handed-hitting lineup versus Orioles southpaw Cole Irvin. Jonny DeLuca will replace Palacios in right field and will bat seventh. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
       
    • Resting against southpaw
      Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Lowe will hit the bench along with fellow left-handed hitters Jonathan Aranda, Ben Rortvedt and Richie Palacios as the Rays roll a full right-handed-hitting lineup versus Orioles southpaw Cole Irvin. Amed Rosario will fill in for Lowe at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 9:31 am
       
    • Pirates place Alika Williams on IL with wrist sprain
      Pirates placed INF Alika Williams on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist sprain.

      Advice: Williams will miss at least a week-plus while he recovers. The infielder’s spot on the active roster is taken by Quinn Priester, with Priester up to start Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays. Rotoworld Today, 9:30 am

    • Sent to Triple-A
      Madrigal was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Networkreports.

      Advice: The 27-year-old saw limited playing time down the stretch in May and is being sent down in favor of David Bote, who had his contract selected Sunday. Madrigal has appeared in 51 games for the Cubs this season and has a .221/.280/.256 slash line in 94 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 9:29 am

    • Nabs fourth straight start
      Dubon will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Twins.

      Advice: With Jose Altuve getting a breather for the series finale, Dubon will pick up a start out of the middle infield. Though the Astros continue to view Dubon as a utility player, he's stuck in the lineup for four straight games while making starts in left field, right field and at shortstop in addition to the keystone.

    • Retreating to bench role Sunday
      Farmer is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: Farmer started at second base in Saturday's 5-2 loss, but he'll be back on the bench for the series finale. While Minnesota is at full strength in the infield save for Royce Lewis (quadricep), Farmer will likely be relegated to a short-side platoon role at second base with the lefty-hitting Edouard Julien, who is back in the lineup Sunday.

    • Red Sox place Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) on IL
      Red Sox placed INF Vaughn Grissom on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain.

      Advice: Grissom injured the hamstring during the second inning of Saturday’s game, and it was expected that the 23-year-old would need a stint on the injured list. There’s no word on when Grissom will be back, but for now, Bobby Dalbec is up from Triple-A to take his place on the roster. Rotoworld Today, 8:41 am
