  • Cast off 40-man roster
    The Mets designated Hudson for assignment Monday.

    Advice: As expected, Hudson's stay with the Mets lasted only through the weekend while No. 2 catcher Luis Torrens (personal) was away from the team while on the paternity list. Torrens has since linked back up with the team and will be available Tuesday for the start of the two-game series against the Yankees, leaving no need for the Mets to carry Hudson as a third catcher.

  • Sitting Sunday
    Lee is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Tigers.

    Advice: Lee will begin Sunday's game in the dugout after starting in the first two games of the series, going 2-for-7 with a solo home run. Martin Maldonado will start behind home plate Sunday and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:13 am
     
  • Adley Rutschman leading off Sunday vs. southpaw
    Adley Rutschman is leading off on Sunday against the Astros.

    Advice: Rutschman has been bumped up to the leadoff spot for the first time all season on Sunday afternoon with southpaw Framber Valdez toeing the rubber for Houston. Gunnar Henderson has compiled solid numbers this season against left-handed pitching and will bat cleanup in this one. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:31 am
     
  • Hits long ball Saturday
    O'Hoppe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in a loss to the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Advice: O'Hoppe tagged Dodgers starter Tyler Glasnow for a solo shot in the seventh inning. The long ball pushed the backstop up to 10 homers through 246 plate appearances on the season after he went deep 14 times across 199 plate appearances as a rookie last year. Among MLB catchers, O'Hoppe ranks sixth in home runs and is tied for eighth with 32 RBI. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:25 am
     
  • Pushed off 40-man
    The Reds designated Wynns for assignment Sunday.

    Advice: Just two days after having his contract selected from Louisville, Wynns will once again lose his spot on the 40-man roster without appearing in a game for the Reds. With a .726 OPS in the minors, it's possible he receives some attention on the waiver wire, but his .597 career OPS in the majors makes it likely he gets sent outright to Louisville. Livan Soto was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:13 am
     
  • Reds designate Austin Wynns for assignment
    Reds designated C Austin Wynns for assignment.

    Advice: Wynns was up for a couple days with Cincinnati as emergency catching depth with Tyler Stephenson not playing. The 33-year-old backstop will likely pass through waivers unclaimed and return to Triple-A Louisville as extra organizational depth. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:06 am
     
  • Sitting Sunday
    Barnhart is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against Philadelphia.

    Advice: Barnhart came in for Gabriel Moreno (thumb) in the bottom of the sixth inning in Friday's contest. Barnhart started at catcher Saturday, going 1-for-3 with an RBI in a 12-1 loss, and he will serve as Arizona's primary catcher with Moreno on the injured list. Jose Herrera will start behind home plate Sunday and bat ninth against Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sanchez. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:01 am
     
  • Moves up depth chart
    Barnhart went 1-for-3 with an RBI in Saturday's 12-1 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Barnhart drove in Arizona's lone run and has RBI in three of his last four starts. He stepped in as the starting catcher Saturday after the Diamondbacks placed primary backstop Gabriel Moreno (thumb) on the 10-day injured list. Barnhart moves to the top of the depth chart with Jose Herrera called up from Triple-A Reno to serve as the backup. Rotowire.com Sunday, 4:02 am
     
  • Logan O’Hoppe goes deep in loss to Dodgers
    Logan O’Hoppe slugged a solo homer on Saturday in the Angels’ loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: O’Hoppe was the lone Angels batter to do any damage against Dodgers ace Tyler Glasnow as he connected for a fifth-inning homer in this one. It was his 10th round-tripper of the season. The 24-year-old backstop is quietly emerging as one of the better fantasy catchers as he’s on pace to easily eclipse the 20-homer threshold in his full-season debut after being limited to just 51 games last year due to a shoulder injury.
