  • Elehuris Montero out again Sunday vs. Rangers
    Elehuris Montero is not in the lineup against the Rangers on Sunday.

    Advice: Montero has been awful thus far in 2024, and he’s hit just .161 with a .381 OPS in the month of May. Hunter Goodman is playing first base and hitting eighth while Montero retreats to the bench. Rotoworld Today, 9:10 am

  • Taking seat Sunday
    Busch is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Busch had started each of the Cubs' first 10 games of May and the Pirates are bringing a lefty (Bailey Falter) to the hill Sunday, so Cubs manager Craig Counsell likely viewed it as an optimal time to give the 26-year-old the day off. Patrick Wisdom will check in for Busch at first base and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:43 am

  • Getting Sunday off
    Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Arenado will be out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Milwaukee, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: Arenado isn't dealing with an injury, as Marmol characterized the third baseman's absence from the lineup as an off day. The 33-year-old had started each of the Cardinals' first 39 games of the season and is maintaining a .703 OPS, the lowest mark of his career. He didn't appear to be turning a corner at the plate over the first three games of the series in Milwaukee, as he went just 1-for-12 with three strikeouts. Rotowire.com Today, 8:34 am

  • Nolan Arenado getting Sunday off vs. Brewers
    Nolan Arenado is not starting Sunday’s game versus the Brewers.

    Advice: Arenado will get his first day off of the year. The third baseman has registered a .767 OPS in the month of May and has hit .270/.331/.372 thus far in 2024. Rotoworld Today, 8:31 am

  • Taking seat Sunday
    Lipscomb is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Lipscomb had started each of the Nationals' last seven games, but he recorded just three hits in 20 at-bats with five walks against four strikeouts over that stretch. Since his April 24 promotion from Triple-A Rochester, Lipscomb is getting on base at a .370 clip over 15 games, but he isn't hitting for much power (.283 slugging percentage). He still looks to be the Nationals' primary third baseman for now, but Lipscomb could be at risk of losing out on some playing time if Washington wants to open up regular work for Joey Gallo (shoulder) when he likely returns from the 10-day injured list during the upcoming week.

  • Sitting in series finale
    Cabrera is out of the lineup for Sunday's series finale against Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Cabrera went 0-for-2 in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Rays and is slashing just .200/.246/.262 over his last 20 games. He finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games and could be losing hold of his regular role at third base. Jon Berti will fill in for Cabrera once again Sunday.

  • Christopher Morel (knee) back in lineup Sunday
    Christopher Morel (knee) is hitting fifth and playing third base against the Pirates.

    Advice: Morel left Saturday’s game with right knee soreness, but it was purely precautionary, and he’ll get the start against the Bucs on Sunday. Morel has played relatively well in May with four homers, but his .220 average on the season is a bit of a disappointment. Rotoworld Today, 8:20 am

  • Back in action Sunday
    Morel (knee) will start at third base and bat cleanup Sunday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Morel exited in the fifth inning of Saturday's 10-9 loss to Pittsburgh with right knee soreness after he appeared to get hurt on a stolen base attempt in the top of the third. The injury looks to be a minor one, however, given that the 24-year-old is back in the lineup a day later. Morel has gone 8-for-34 with four home runs, 11 RBI and two stolen bases in May.

  • Sitting Sunday
    Turner is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Minnesota.

    Advice: Turner will get a day off in the series finale as the Blue Jays hand Daniel Vogelbach a start at designated hitter in his stead. The 39-year-old has gone hitless over his last three games and is 3-for-30 with two runs and one RBI in May. Rotowire.com Today, 7:58 am
