    • On bench against southpaw
      Massey is out of the lineup for Sunday's game agains the Guardians.

      Advice: Massey will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitters MJ Melendez and Kyle Isbel as the Guardians send southpaw Logan Allen to the hill. Vinnie Pasquantino will replace Massey as the Royals' designated hitter. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:01 am
       
    • Playing time trending up
      Merrifield will start in left field and bat seventh in Sunday's game against the Marlins.

      Advice: Merrifield will get his third start in four games and should be in store for an uptick in playing time in the short term after the Phillies recently placed both Bryce Harper (hamstring) and Kyle Schwarber (groin) on the injured list. Through 16 games in June while seeing mostly sporadic at-bats, Merrifield has slashed .216/.293/.297 with one home run and one stolen base. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:32 am
       
    • Sitting amid slump
      Schneider is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: Scheider has a .165/.221/.304 slash line through 25 games in June and will hit the bench Sunday after going 1-for-14 over his past six contests. Daulton Varsho will shift to left field while Kevin Kiermaier receives a start in center. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:58 am
       
    • Hitting bench against lefty
      Palacios is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

      Advice: He'll join fellow left-handed-hitters Josh Lowe, Brandon Lowe and Ben Rortvedt on the bench as the Rays stock up on extra right-handed bats with southpaw Patrick Corbin on the hill for Washington. Palacios has logged just 22 plate appearances against lefties all season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:30 am
       
    • Getting day off versus lefty
      Lowe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Lowe will hit the bench for the series finale while Washington sends southpaw Patrick Corbin to the hill. Jose Caballero checks in at second base for Lowe. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:26 am
       
    • Homers in return to lineup
      Lowe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Saturday in a loss to the Nationals.

      Advice: Lowe returned to the starting lineup after logging just a single pinch-hit appearance over Tampa Bay's previous five games due to a broken toe. The second baseman didn't seem to have any rust, as he belted a 405-foot solo shot in his first at-bat of the contest for what turned out to be the Rays' only run. Lowe has hit five homers over 19 games in June after going deep just once across his first 18 contests of the campaign. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:19 pm
       
    • Massey belts seventh home run in loss Saturday
      Michael Massey went 2-for-3 with a solo home run against the Guardians on Saturday.

      Advice: Massey’s home run was his seventh of the season. He’s quietly been one of the best hitters for the Royals this year. His home run off Tanner Bibee gave the Royals a 2-1 lead in the second inning, but it wouldn’t last. Massey is hitting .293 with an .843 OPS and 24 RBI in 116 at-bats with Kansas City this year.

    • Lowe homers in return to lineup Saturday
      Brandon Lowe went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk against the Nationals on Saturday.



      Advice: Lowe’s home run was his sixth of the season. It was certainly good to see him do something productive in his first game back in the Rays’ lineup since breaking his pinkie toe. With Lowe, you have to worry about when the next injury might come. He’s a decent power option in the middle infield as long as he’s playing. Lowe has a .218 average .756 OPS with 23 RBI on the season.

    • Sitting against lefty Saturday
      Schneemann is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Schneemann will retreat to the dugout with the Royals sending southpaw Cole Ragans to the mound Saturday. Jhonkensy Noel will start in right field and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:00 am
