    • Paul Dejong gets a day off on Thursday
      Paul Dejong is not in the lineup for the White Sox on Thursday against the Astros.

      Advice: Dejong will take a seat with Nicky Lopez sliding over to shortstop and Danny Mendick playing second base. The veteran is having a great month of June, hitting .246 with six home runs, nine runs, and 11 RBI in 17 games. The power is obviously really nice, but the poor team context around him is keeping his counting stats a little low given his home run total. He has also never hit for a high batting average and is still under .250 even with the power, so he’s really just an add if you’re looking for home runs from your middle infield spot.

    • Getting maintenance day
      DeJong is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

      Advice: He'll receive a breather for the day game after a night game, opening up a turn at shortstop for Nicky Lopez. DeJong had started each of the White Sox's previous 21 games and was one of the team's most productive hitters over that stretch, batting .235 with 11 extra-base hits (seven home runs, four doubles), 12 RBI and 10 runs.

    • Returning from illness
      Winn (illness) will start at shortstop and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game in Miami, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Winn missed out on his first start since June 5 in the Cardinals' 9-8 extra-inning loss Tuesday, when he was scratched from the lineup shortly before opening pitch due to an illness. Fortunately for Winn, the one day of rest appears to be all he needed to shake off the ailment. The 22-year-old will take back his usual spot atop the St. Louis lineup in the series finale with the Marlins. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:11 am

    • Scratched with illness
      Winn was scratched from the Cardinals' lineup ahead of Tuesday's game versus Miami due to illness, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

      Advice: Winn was originally in line to start at shortstop Tuesday, but his absence will move Brandon Crawford from third base to short instead. Brendan Donovan will cover the hot corner as a result, moving Alec Burleson into left field while Dylan Carlson steps in to man right field, batting eighth. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:46 pm

    • Masyn Winn scratched on Tuesday due to illness
      Masyn Winn has been scratched from the lineup for Tuesday’s showdown against the Marlins due to illness.

      Advice: Winn delivered the go-ahead homer for St. Louis in the 12th inning of Monday’s extra-inning marathon against the Marlins and has occupied the leadoff spot in six straight contests. It’ll be Brendan Donovan taking over atop the lineup and Brandon Crawford covering at shortstop. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:44 pm

    • Sitting versus southpaw
      Wisely is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Cubs.

      Advice: Wisely will head to the bench as the team squares off with southpaw Justin Steele of the Cubs. Nick Ahmed will take over at shortstop and bat seventh versus Chicago. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:34 pm

    • Blasts homer in loss
      Turang went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Monday in a loss to the Angels.

      Advice: Turang plated the final run of the contest with his 419-foot solo shot in the fifth inning. The second-year infielder has gone deep four times through 68 games this season after hitting six homers in 137 contests last year. Turang's skill set is more centered on speed than power, so anything fantasy managers get in the homer department is a nice bonus. The speedster has made a big impact on the rosters of fantasy managers who had the foresight to pick him up late in fantasy drafts or on the waiver wire, as he's slashing .291/.359/.406 on the season with 25 RBI, 35 runs and 26 stolen bases in 27 attempts.

    • Swats 10th homer
      Neto went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 win against Milwaukee.

      Advice: Neto provided what turned out to be the winning margin with his two-run shot in the fourth inning. The long ball was his 10th of the season through 260 plate appearances, one more than he hit across 329 plate appearances as a rookie last year. Three of Neto's homers have come over his past six games, and he's produced seven RBI while batting .318 over that span. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:18 am
