  • Absent from lineup
    Jansen is not in the lineup for Monday's game in Milwaukee.

    Advice: It looks to be a routine day off for Jansen, who had started the last two and three of the previous four contests. Alejandro Kirk will do the catching for Jose Berrios on Monday. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Mitch Garver takes a seat Monday
    Mitch Garver is on the bench Monday after going 4-for-13 with two homers and five walks the last four days.

    Advice: Garver’s little hot streak, which raised his OPS from .572 to .630, hasn’t put him back in the lineup on a full-time basis just yet. The Marlins have Mitch Haniger DHing tonight. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat against lefty
    Melendez is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: After starting in each of the Royals' last four games while the opposition brought right-handed starters to the hill for every contest, the lefty-hitting Melendez will exit the lineup while southpaw Carlos Rodon takes the hill for the Yankees. Melendez has logged just 33 plate appearances versus lefties this season and is slashing .156/.182/.156 in those matchups. Rotowire.com Today, 1:28 pm
     
  • Absent from lineup
    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's contest against the Rockies.

    Advice: He and Christian Vazquez have now alternated starts at catcher over the last seven games for the Twins. Jeffers has slowed down considerably in June with just two hits in his first 22 plate appearances, so perhaps the extra rest will help recharge his batteries. Rotowire.com Today, 12:40 pm
     
  • Gets breather after big game
    Rutschman is out of the lineup for Monday's game in Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Rutschman started the first three games of the series at catcher and had been in the lineup for each of the last 10 contests for the Orioles. However, after going 3-for-5 with a grand slam and a career-high six RBI in Sunday's 9-2 win, Rutschman will get a breather Monday as Baltimore goes for the rare four-game sweep. James McCann will pick up the start behind the dish. Rotowire.com Today, 12:24 pm
     
  • Adley Rutschman gets a day off on Monday
    Adley Rutschman is not in the starting lineup on Monday against the Rays.

    Advice: It’s just a routine day off for the catcher amid a tremendous season with a .306 average, 13 home runs, and 49 RBI. James McCann will start behind the dish. Rotoworld Today, 12:19 pm
     
  • Getting rest Monday
    Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Rortvedt will get a break for the series finale after he caught all nine innings of Sunday's 9-2 loss while going 1-for-4 with a double. Alex Jackson will step in behind the dish Monday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:55 am
     
  • Max Stassi undergoes season-ending surgery
    Max Stassi underwent a season-ending left hip surfacing procedure on Friday.

    Advice: Stassi was originally on the injured list with a hip injury, but then suffered a setback after being hit in the hard; yet, it’s his hip that will end his season. That’s sad news for the veteran, who also missed the first half of last season with a hip injury as well. It’s fair to wonder if this could lead to the end of the 33-year-old’s MLB career.

  • Opts for season-ending surgery
    The White Sox announced that Stassi underwent a season-ending left hip surfacing procedure Friday in New York City.

    Advice: After missing the entire 2023 season while he was a member of the Angels due to a hip injury in addition to a family medical issue, Stassi will now go another full season without logging any big-league action. The veteran catcher was able to make five rehab appearances at Triple-A Charlotte in April but had been shut down ever since due to a hip injury that apparently wasn't improving after nearly two months of rest. The White Sox hold a $7.5 million team option on Stassi for the 2025 season that the club will almost certainly decline this winter, if he isn't cut loose before then. Rotowire.com Today, 11:50 am
