• Remains out of lineup
    Doyle (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Doyle will take a seat for the second day in a row while he manages left patella tendinitis. Jake Cave will step in as the Rockies' starting center field in place of Doyle, who can be viewed as day-to-day heading into the team's four-game home set with the Dodgers that begins Monday.

  • Riding pine Sunday
    Hayes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Hayes will get some rest for the series finale in Colorado after he had started in each of the Pirates' last five games while going 3-for-21 with a stolen base and a run scored. Jared Triolo will fill in for Hayes at the hot corner. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
  • Getting fourth straight start
    Triolo will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Triolo will pick up his fourth straight start, but two came while shortstop Oneil Cruz was sitting out due to a sore ankle. Cruz is back in the lineup Sunday, but Triolo will get the nod at third base in place of a resting Ke'Bryan Hayes. Expect Triolo to return to a utility role when the Pirates open their series against the Reds on Monday. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago

  • On bench against righty
    Joe is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Joe is sitting against a right-handed starting pitcher (Dakota Hudson) for the second time in four games, perhaps indicating that his standing as an everyday player could be on shaky ground. After producing a .794 OPS through the first two months of the season, Joe is slashing .167/.271/.310 since the beginning of June. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

  • Getting breather Sunday
    Grandal is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Grandal will rest for the Sunday afternoon game after he went 2-for-4 with an RBI while catching eight innings of Saturday's 16-4 loss. Jason Delay will step in for Grandal behind the plate. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
  • Jordan Lawlar undergoing MRI on hamstring
    Jordan Lawlar is undergoing an MRI on his hamstring after leaving Saturday’s game with Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: Lawlar had just made his way back to Triple-A Reno after missing the start of the season due to surgery on his thumb. The 21-year-old is one of the top prospects in baseball, and if healthy, he has a chance to be a contributor this summer. Unfortunately there’s now questions as to whether that can happen, and he joins a long list of prospects who have dealt with injury at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
  • Sitting in opening game of day
    Langeliers is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Twins.

    Advice: Langeliers will get a breather for the early game of the twin bill as Kyle McCann draws the starting nod behind the dish. Expect Langeliers to check back into the lineup as the Athletics' starting catcher for the nightcap. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
  • Sitting for opening game of twin bill
    Larnach is out of the lineup for the first game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Athletics.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Larnach will take a seat for the opening game of the day while southpaw JP Sears takes the hill for Oakland, but expect Larnach to re-enter the starting nine for the nightcap, when right-hander Joey Estes will toe the rubber. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • Out for Game 1 of twin bill
    Kepler (elbow) is out of the lineup for the opening game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Athletics.

    Advice: The Twins are facing southpaw JP Sears in the first game of the day, so the lefty-hitting Kepler might not have been included in the lineup even if he wasn't nursing a sore elbow. Kepler could still be a candidate to start in the nightcap, when the Athletics will send right-hander Joey Estes to the hill. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
