  • Moves to bench with lefty starting
    Sheets is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Sheets had started in each of the White Sox's last eight games, but he'll retreat to the bench Monday with southpaw Tyler Alexander taking the hill for Tampa Bay. Robbie Grossman will spell Sheets in right field. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Back in action Monday
    Lopez (adductor) will start at second base and bat ninth in Monday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Lopez was held out of the lineup for Sunday's 5-1 win over the Cardinals with adductor soreness, but the injury was apparently just a minor concern. After serving as the White Sox's leadoff hitter in each of his last 12 starts, the lefty-hitting Lopez will drop the bottom of the order Monday, likely because Chicago is opposing a southpaw in Tyler Alexander.

  • Back on bench Monday
    Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Rogers and Carson Kelly have now alternated turns behind the plate over Detroit's last eight games, with both backstops making four starts apiece. The timeshare arrangement will make it difficult to extract much fantasy value from Rogers, who is batting .179 with two home runs and five RBI over 22 games this season.

  • May begin rehab assignment this week
    Urshela (hamstring) could join Triple-A Toledo this week to begin a rehab assignment, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Urshela remained with the Tigers for Monday's series opener in Cleveland and was spotted doing some pregame running on the field in what McCosky describes as a potential final test before the third baseman is cleared for a rehab assignment. Before landing on the 10-day injured list April 20, Urshela slashed .298/.310/.333 over 58 plate appearances with the Tigers. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago

  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Cardinals transferred Edman (wrist) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

    Advice: Edman has been on the IL all season while working his way back from October surgery on his right wrist. The 28-year-old has resumed taking swings from both sides of the plate without incident, but since he has yet to be cleared for full baseball activities, the expectation was that he would still need at least a few more weeks to finish up his rehab program. With that in mind, Edman's move to the 60-day IL doesn't come as surprise, and his potential timeline for a return won't be dramatically affected as a result. He won't be eligible to make his 2024 Cardinals debut until May 24. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago

  • Taking seat Monday
    Isbel is absent from the lineup for Monday's game in Cleveland.

    Advice: The left-handed-hitting Isbel will take a seat against Milwaukee right-hander Bryse Wilson while Dairon Blanco gets the start in center field. Isbel had started each of the last 13 contests when the Royals faced a right-hander. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
     
  • Absent from lineup again
    Velazquez is out of the lineup for Monday's contest versus the Brewers.

    Advice: It's the second straight day on the bench for Velazquez, who is in a 2-for-32 tailspin at the plate. He served as a pinch-hitter in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Rangers and will be available off the bench Monday. Adam Frazier will serve as the Royals' designated hitter, and Kansas City could continue to rotate a number of players at that spot in the lineup while Velazquez has seemingly lost hold of an everyday role.

  • Out again Monday
    Perez (illness) remains out of the lineup for Monday's contest in Cleveland.

    Advice: Perez was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Yankees due to an illness, and he'll receive at least one more day of rest. Parker Meadows will get another start in center field in Perez's stead. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago

  • Rangers promote INF Jonathan Ornelas
    Rangers recalled INF Jonathan Ornelas from Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: The 23-year-old is hitting .278 in 97 plate appearances at Triple-A Round Rock with two home runs, 10 runs, and 11 RBI. He got a brief chance in Texas last season when Josh Jung went down, but he hit just .143. He figures to just be a depth piece in the short-term; however, since he is an infielder, him being called up could signal that Ezequiel Duran could see more time in the outfield with Wyatt Langford on the IL.
