  • Out Sunday with finger injury
    Vaughn (finger) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Vaughn will be on the bench for a third game in a row with a sprained left ring finger. The White Sox continue to view Vaughn as day-to-day, and with a team off day Monday, Vaughn could be ready to go for the start of the team's two-game series with the Cubs on Tuesday. Gavin Sheets will fill in at first base for Vaughn on Sunday. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
  • Getting steady playing time
    Loftin will start at second base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Loftin was excluded from the lineup in the Royals' first two games following his call-up from Triple-A Omaha last Sunday, but he's now getting his fifth start in six games Sunday. Four of those starts have come at second base, and he looks like he could be the preferred option at the position over Adam Frazier until Michael Massey (back) returns from the injured list.

  • Taking seat Sunday
    Velazquez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: Velazquez will get a day off in the series finale after he had started in each of Kansas City's last 10 games. Salvador Perez will get a break from catching duties and will serve as the Royals' designated hitter while Velazquez sits. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
  • Out of lineup again
    Renfroe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Padres.

    Advice: For the third time in four games, the right-handed-hitting Renfroe will take a seat against a right-handed starting pitcher. Though he's posted a .797 OPS over his last 14 games, Renfroe looks to be moving into more of a part-time role in right field. Adam Frazier will get the nod in right field Sunday.

  • Taking seat Sunday
    Montero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Montero started the previous six games but will head to the bench Sunday after batting .167 during that span. Kris Bryant will shift to first base while Bredan Rodgers serves as the designated hitter and Alan Trejo starts at second base. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Tauchman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Tauchman started the previous five games and will take a seat Sunday after he went 5-for-20 with a double, an RBI and three runs during that stretch. Christopher Morel will serve as Chicago's designated hitter Sunday while David Bote starts at third base. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
  • Will Smith gets Sunday off again vs. Rockies
    Will Smith is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Smith almost always gets Sunday off, and this won’t be an exception. The 29-year-old slugger will take a break with Austin Barnes behind the plate for the series finale. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
  • Nolan Schanuel (thumb) remains out Sunday vs. M’s
    Nolan Schanuel (thumb) is not in the starting lineup Sunday against the Mariners.

    Advice: Schanuel will miss another game while dealing with left thumb soreness. Willie Calhoun is getting the start at first base and hitting cleanup against Luis Castillo. Schanuel should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
  • On bench versus lefty
    Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: It's the third straight game on the bench for the 26-year-old, and this time it comes as lefty Nick Lodolo takes the mound for the Reds. Busch had a hot start to the campaign with a 1.062 OPS in his first 19 contests, but he has a .186/.292/.314 slash line and 38.3 percent strikeout rate in his past 35 games. Patrick Wisdom will start at first base Sunday for the Cubs. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
