  • Eloy Jiménez goes 3-for-4 in Rays’ victory
    Eloy Jiménez had three singles in four at-bats against the Rays on Sunday.

    Advice: It’s his first three-hit game since he had four hits last Aug. 30. He went 6-for-14 with a homer and a double in three-game sweep of the Rays, raising his OPS from .613 to .759. Rotoworld 9 minutes ago
  • Christopher Morel returns to Cubs lineup on Sunday
    Christopher Morel (hip, elbow) returned to the Cubs’ starting lineup on Sunday.

    Advice: Morel was pulled from Saturday’s game after colliding with teammate Alexander Canario in the outfield, but aside from being a bit banged up he’s good to go. Morel is starting at the hot corner and batting cleanup against Tanner Houck and the Red Sox on Sunday night. On the season, the 24-year-old slugger is hitting .219/.296/.365 with three homers, 12 RBI and one stolen base through 26 games. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago

  • Wenceel Pérez homers in win over KC
    Wenceel Pérez went 2-for-4 with a home run in a win over the Royals on Sunday.

    Advice: Pérez’s home run was the first of his MLB career, traveling 370 feet at 103.1 mph off the bat. The rookie is now slashing .286/.359/.514 and was hitting third for the Tigers on Sunday. While he is still not locked into an every day spot in the lineup, there is a path for him to earn more playing time if he keeps hitting like this. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago

  • Alek Thomas plays in simulated game on Saturday
    Alek Thomas (hamstring) took at-bats and ran the bases during a simulated game on Saturday.

    Advice: The 24-year-old outfielder has not yet been cleared to roam the outfield defensively, but it’s nice to see that he continues to progress in his recovery from a left hamstring strain. It sounds like if everything continues to go well he could head out on a minor league rehab assignment by the end of next week. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
  • Good to go Sunday
    Morel (hip) is starting at third base and batting cleanup Sunday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: The 24-year-old collided with Alexander Canario after making a running catch in the outfield Saturday but is apparently no worse for wear. Morel had a 1-for-32 slump over nine contests in mid-May, but his bat has come alive over his past six games with a .781 OPS. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago

  • Receives Sunday off
    McCutchen is Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: McCutchen started the previous three games and will head to the bench after going 1-for-12 with two walks and five strikeouts. Edward Olivares will bat fifth as the designated hitter Sunday for the Pirates. Rotowire.com Today, 12:26 pm
  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Suwinski is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Suwinski will typically sit against left-handed pitchers, but he's on the bench Sunday as righty Keaton Winn takes the mound for San Francisco. Connor Joe will receive a start in right field and bat cleanup. Rotowire.com Today, 12:24 pm
  • Checks out of starting nine
    Moore is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: After starting each of the past four games at shortstop while producing three hits and adding two stolen bases and one run over 12 at-bats, Moore will give way to Leonardo Rivas in the series finale. Moore should still see the bulk of the starts at shortstop for the duration of J.P. Crawford's (oblique) stay on the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 11:37 am

  • Draws third straight start
    Raley will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Raley had started both of the last two games in left field, but he'll head over to right field in the series finale while Mitch Haniger gets the day off. Haniger appears to be entrenched as the Mariners' preferred right fielder, but the playing time in left field seems to be tilting in Raley's favor of late. Both Raley and Clase are likely to eventually lose out on opportunities in the Seattle outfield once Dominic Canzone (shoulder) returns from the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 11:34 am
