    Marte is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Marte has started the last five games at right field for the Mets, batting 6-for-17 with four RBI and one stolen base in that stretch.

  • Getting break Sunday
    Bader is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Arizona.

    Advice: The 29-year-old outfielder will get a rest day and cede center field duties to Tyrone Taylor as the Mets close out the series against the Diamondbacks. Bader has started seven of the last 10 games for New York, going 6-for-26 with four RBI and one home run in that stretch. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Lands on IL with hamstring strain
    The Red Sox placed Gonzalez on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Gonzalez was one of two Boston infielders to hit the shelf Sunday with a hamstring injury, as Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) was also deactivated. The lefty-hitting Enmanuel Valdez is expected to occupy the strong side of a platoon at second base while Grissom is on the IL, but Gonzalez might have been the preferred option at the keystone against left-handed pitching had he not strained his hamstring. Jamie Westbrook -- whose contract was selected from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday -- now profiles as a likely platoon mate for Valdez at second base. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago

  • Taking seat against southpaw
    Pederson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Pederson will end up hitting the bench for the final two games of the series while the Mets brought left-handed starters to the hill Saturday (Sean Manaea) and Sunday (Jose Quintana). With Pederson out of the lineup, Eugenio Suarez will get a day off in the field and will serve as Arizona's designated hitter. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
     
  • Resting against lefty
    McCarthy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: With southpaw Jose Quintana on the hill for the Mets, Arizona manager Torey Lovullo will give two of the team's key lefty-hitting regulars in McCarthy and Joc Pederson the day off. Randal Grichuk will check in for McCarthy in right field and will bat fifth. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
     
  • Makes impact in win
    Grossman went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Grossman doubled in the Rangers' first run then produced another run with a seventh-inning single. Until Saturday, he hadn't made an impact since the Rangers acquired him from the White Sox -- Grossman entered the game 2-for-20 with Texas. Rotowire.com Today, 6:57 am
     
  • Good to go Sunday
    Gurriel (illness) will start in left field and bat third Sunday against the Mets.

    Advice: The veteran outfielder was scratched from Saturday's lineup due to flu-like symptoms, but he's back in the starting nine for Sunday's series finale in Queens. Gurriel had a rough time at the plate in May and finished the month with a .213/.245/.287 slash line in 25 games. Rotowire.com Today, 6:48 am
     
  • Dropped against lefty
    Friedl batted seventh and went 0-for-1 with two walks, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Cubs. He was also hit by a pitch.

    Advice: Friedl, who batted leadoff since returning from a thumb injury Wednesday, was lowered to seventh in the order Saturday. That's due to the Reds facing a left-hander for the first time since his return. Friedl is 1-for-9 with four walks, one steal and one run scored since being activated off the injured list.
