  • Nelson Velazquez out of action Sunday vs. Rangers
    Nelson Velazquez is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Velazquez has not found much success in 2024 with an OPS of just .635 over 92 at-bats, and he’ll retreat to the bench against right-hander Jon Grey on Sunday. Salvador Perez will lineup at designated hitter while hitting in his usual fourth spot in the lineup while Freddy Fermin gets the start behind the plate. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • Gaining traction in everyday lineup
    Calhoun will serve as the Angels' designated hitter and cleanup batter in Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Calhoun will stick in the starting nine for the third straight game after going 4-for-8 with two doubles and one run to begin his tenure with the Angels. At least while Miguel Sano (knee) and Anthony Rendon (hamstring) are on the injured list, the lefty-hitting Calhoun should be in store for regular starts as the Angels' DH against right-handed pitching.

  • Stepping out of lineup
    Ramirez is not in the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: Ramirez went 3-for-8 with a run and three strikeouts while starting the first two games of the series but will take a seat for Sunday's finale. Amed Rosario will receive a turn at designated hitter while Richie Palacios starts at the keystone. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Luis Rengifo (illness) remains out Sunday
    Luis Rengifo (illness) is not in the lineup Sunday against the Guardians.

    Advice: Rengifo was not able to play Saturday due to illness, and the 27-year-old will get at least one more day off. Cole Tucker will get a start at third base and hit eighth while Rengifo gets better. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago

  • Sitting versus southpaw
    Carpenter is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Carpenter is in the midst of a 3-for-25 slump and will sit Sunday as lefty Nestor Cortes takes the mound for New York. Wenceel Perez will shift to right field while Parker Meadows starts in center. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Remains out with illness
    Rengifo (illness) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: He'll be withheld from the starting nine for the second day in a row while recovering from an illness. Rengifo has been playing on a near-everyday basis of late while toggling between second base and third base, but he'll give way to Brandon Drury at the keystone and Cole Tucker at the hot corner for Sunday's series finale.

  • Stays hot in win
    Pages went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's blowout win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Pages jumped on a hanging four-seamer from Bryce Elder to lead off the bottom of the fourth and launched it 412 feet into the stands in center field for his fourth home run of the season, and second in his last three games. The rookie outfielder also added a single in the contest, giving him back-to-back multi-hit games. Pages has been on an absolute tear at the plate throughout his now 10-game hitting streak, batting .418 (18-for-43) over that stretch with three homers, nine RBI and nine runs scored. He's also tallied at least one RBI in three straight games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:21 am

  • Another multi-hit effort
    Acuna went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 11-2 loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Acuna led off the fourth inning with a single and swiped his 14th bag of the season before coming around to score Atlanta's first run on a single from Austin Riley. The star outfielder would collect two more hits on the night, though his effort fell short as the Dodgers ran away with the win. Acuna has now tallied multiple hits in three straight games to open the month, though he's still sitting on just two home runs for the season. He's also scored at least one run in five of his last six games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:05 am
