    • Not starting Sunday

      Advice: Joe will sit out a second consecutive game Sunday following an 0-for-13 stretch spanning his last four contests, prompting another start in right field for Edward Olivares. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:00 am

    • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. returns to lineup on Sunday
      Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (elbow) has returned to the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Phillies.

      Advice: Gurriel is back in Arizona’s lineup to face Phillies southpaw Cristopher Sánchez during Sunday’s series finale following a brief one-game absence due to left elbow soreness. It’s a positive sign that he’s ready to return so quickly and it doesn’t sound like it’s going to be a lingering issue moving forward. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:02 am
       
    • Back in lineup Sunday
      Gurriel (elbow) is starting in left field and batting third in Sunday's series finale against the Phillies, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports..

      Advice: Gurriel returns to the lineup Sunday after sitting out of Saturday's 12-1 loss to Philadelphia. He left in the seventh inning of Friday's contest with left elbow soreness, but the injury wasn't severe enough to warrant an X-ray. For the month of June, Gurriel is slashing .333/.352/.536 with four home runs and 12 RBI over 69 at-bats. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:52 am
       
    • Day off Saturday
      Joe isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game versus Tampa Bay.

      Advice: Joe has gone 0-for-13 with four strikeouts in his last four games, and he'll now get a day to regroup Saturday. His absence will open up a spot in right field for Edward Olivares to start while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:56 am

    • Sitting Saturday
      Gurriel (elbow) isn't in Arizona's lineup for Saturday's game against the Phillies.

      Advice: Gurriel was removed from Friday's game due to a sore left elbow, and it is seemingly bothering him enough to keep him from playing Saturday, though the D-backs don't believe his injury to be anything too serious. Jake McCarthy will slide over to left field while Gurriel recovers, allowing Randal Grichuk to start in right field while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:51 am
       
    • Tyler O’Neill not in Saturday’s lineup vs. Reds
      Tyler O’Neill is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Reds.

      Advice: O’Neill gets a routine maintenance day with Wilyer Abreu back in right field on Saturday afternoon against the Reds. The 29-year-old has homered four times over his last seven games and should be back in there for Sunday’s series finale. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:41 am
       
    • Heading to bench Saturday
      O'Neill is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

      Advice: O'Neill will hit the bench after going 0-for-7 with two walks over the Red Sox's previous two contests, but he's been excellent overall since making his return from a three-game absence due to a knee issue earlier this month, slashing .273/.342/.697 since June 12. Even though he finds himself as the odd man out of the Boston outfield Saturday while the team brings Wilyer Abreu (ankle) back from the injured list, O'Neill should continue to handle a near-everyday role for the Red Sox.

    • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (elbow) not in Saturday’s lineup
      Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (elbow) is absent from the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Phillies.

      Advice: Gurriel hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet, so that’s at least an encouraging development after he was lifted from Friday’s contest against Philadelphia with left elbow soreness. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. Rotoworld Saturday, 9:18 am
       
    • Avoids serious injury
      Gurriel did not require an X-ray on his elbow following Friday's game against the Phillies, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

      Advice: Gurriel exited the contest in the seventh inning with elbow soreness, though manager Torey Lovullo said after the game that he doesn't anticipate that Gurriel will require a stint on the injured list. The outfielder's status for Saturday remains in question, however. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:45 pm
