  • Out of Thursday's lineup
    Walls is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Minnesota.

    Advice: Walls started six of eight games at shortstop after returning from the injured list but has now been in the lineup just once over the last five tilts, although he was battling an illness for some of that time. Jose Caballero will handle the shortstop position Thursday. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

  • Austin Martin starting again for Twins
    Austin Martin is starting at second base for the Twins on Thursday with Willi Castro on the bench.

    Advice: Martin has now started four straight games and five of six since being promoted from Triple-A. Martin is 7-for-15 in those five games with four runs, two RBI, and a steal. If the Twins continue to move him all over the field and keep him in the starting lineup then Martin could produce enough value to be rostered in deeper formats. Kyle Farmer will play up the middle with Martin at shortstop with Carlos Correa getting a day off. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago

  • Sitting against southpaw
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: With lefty Logan Allen on the hill for Cleveland, Rojas and fellow left-handed-hitting regulars Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley will retreat to the bench. Dylan Moore will move over from his usual spot at second base to cover the hot corner in Rojas' stead. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

  • Starting rehab assignment
    Rodgers (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Rodgers participated in batting practice drills Tuesday and Wednesday before heading out for game action. He has been sidelined for around two weeks, so he shouldn't need a particularly long rehab assignment prior to being activated. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting out Thursday
    Perdomo isn't in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Nationals.

    Advice: Perdomo had started five straight games and seven of eight since returning from the injured list June 11, but he'll begin the series finale in Washington on the bench. Kevin Newman will handle shortstop for the Diamondbacks on Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 6:24 am
     
  • Gets another start
    Espinal started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Espinal received a second consecutive start at the hot corner, as Jeimer Candelario (tendinitis) was unavailable. This could be a situation where manager David Bell is giving Candelario multiple days off, including an off day Thursday, so that he can ready to go Friday when the Reds open a home series against the suddenly hot Red Sox.

  • First hitless game
    Perdomo went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Washington.

    Advice: Perdomo, who was given a rest day after two games following his activation off the injured list last week, has started five consecutive since then. Wednesday's 0-fer was his first after hitting safely in his first six contests (8-for-22). Rotowire.com Today, 4:12 am
     
  • Lifts fourth homer
    Urias went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Yankees.

    Advice: Urias went deep in the fifth inning for his first homer since June 3. The infielder has hit safely in his last six games, going 8-for-23 (.348) in that span. He had to settle for a utility role early in the year, but he's been staking a larger claim with strong hitting in June. For the season, Urias is slashing .252/.298/.421 with four homers, 10 RBI, 15 runs scored and no stolen bases over 114 plate appearances. He may be set for a short-term bump in playing time if Jordan Westburg (hip) has to sit out more games following his injury Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:12 pm
     
  • Picks up first steal
    Schneemann went 0-for-3 with a walk, one stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 8-0 win over the Mariners.

    Advice: Schneemann has gained traction in the lineup as a utility player -- Wednesday marked his fifth straight start. He got the nod at shortstop over Brayan Rocchio for this contest. Schneemann has done his part to stay in the lineup by hitting .333 through his first 12 major-league games. He's added four extra-base hits, six RBI, five runs scored, and his steal Wednesday was the first of his career. He also has a 7:9 BB:K so far, with his good plate discipline being a perfect fit for a Guardians team that prioritizes getting on base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:57 pm
