  • Won't start Monday
    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Jeffers had started each of Minnesota's last three games -- two at catcher and one at designated hitter -- so his absence from the lineup Monday is likely just a rest day. Christian Vazquez will fill in behind the dish and will bat eighth. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Gary Sanchez getting first start since Tuesday
    Gary Sanchez is hitting sixth and catching Monday against the Royals.

    Advice: Sanchez, 31, will make his first start since he was removed from Tuesday’s game with hamstring tightness. The veteran backstop will give William Contreras a break from catching with Contreras leading off as the designated hitter. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
     
  • Checks in behind plate Monday
    Sanchez (hamstring) will start at catcher and bat sixth in Monday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Sanchez will make a start for the first time since exiting last Tuesday's 8-2 win over the Rays with right hamstring tightness, but he had been available off the bench for the last few days and served as a late-inning defensive replacement at first base in Friday's 3-1 win over the Cubs. He'll be back behind the dish Monday while No. 1 catcher William Contreras gets a day off from catching and serves as the Brewers' designated hitter. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Logan O’Hoppe returns from hand injury Monday
    Logan O’Hoppe (hand) is back in the starting lineup Monday against the Pirates.

    Advice: O’Hoppe missed a couple of games with a contusion on his hand. He’ll hit hit fifth and be the starting catcher for the Halos against Mitch Keller and the Bucs. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
     
  • Back on bench Monday
    Rogers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Rogers and Carson Kelly have now alternated turns behind the plate over Detroit's last eight games, with both backstops making four starts apiece. The timeshare arrangement will make it difficult to extract much fantasy value from Rogers, who is batting .179 with two home runs and five RBI over 22 games this season.

  • Back in lineup Monday
    O'Hoppe (hand) will start at catcher and bat fifth in Monday's game in Pittsburgh, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

    Advice: O'Hoppe exited Saturday's game against the Guardians after taking a foul tip off his right hand, but X-rays came back clean and he's ready to roll after resting Sunday. The young catcher is slashing .260/.317/.396 with two home runs over 29 games for the Angels this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:49 am
     
  • Out 4-to-6 weeks
    Giants manager Bob Melvin said Monday that Murphy is expected to be sidelined 4-to-6 weeks after being diagnosed with a left knee sprain, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Murphy suffered the injury during Saturday's game versus the Phillies and landed on the 10-day injured list Sunday. With Patrick Bailey (concussion) on the 7-day IL at least for the next few days, the Giants are down to Blake Sabol and Jakson Reetz as their catching duo. Rotowire.com Today, 11:31 am
     
  • Heads to bench Monday
    Grandal is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: After being activated from the 10-day injured list over the weekend, Grandal started behind the plate Saturday and Sunday against the Rockies, going 1-for-7 between those contests. Now that he's moved past the bout with plantar fasciitis that sidelined him from the first five weeks of the season, Grandal is expected to serve as the Pirates' No. 1 catcher, though backup Joey Bart should still factor into the equation if he continues to swing a hot bat. Bart will be behind the dish Monday while Grandal rests. Rotowire.com Today, 11:30 am
     
  • Game-winning long ball Sunday
    Raleigh went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Astros on Sunday.

    Advice: The 27-year-old cleared the fences for the second straight game, launching a tie-breaking homer in the ninth inning that would turn out to be the difference in the contest. Raleigh has now reached safely in four the last five games, but he's still carrying a lackluster .210 average and .288 on-base percentage across 118 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 9:14 am
