  • Isaac Paredes goes 2-for-4, hits seventh homer
    Isaac Paredes finished 2-for-4 with a homer versus the White Sox on Sunday.

    Advice: Paredes is the one holdover in the Rays lineup who hasn’t been hurt or a disappointment. The homer today was his seventh. No one else on the squad has more than three. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago

  • Freddie Freeman homers in loss
    Freddie Freeman went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in a loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday

    Advice: Freeman hit a 425-foot blast off of Kevin Gausman that left the bat at 106.3 mph. It’s just his second home run on the season to fo along with an impressive 19 RBI. Freeman is hitting .306/.425/.435 on the season and while the power may not be as prevalent as he continues to get along, the rest of his offensive profile as remained tremendous.

  • Not in Sunday's lineup
    Sano (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Sano is dealing with inflammation in his left knee and will sit Sunday for the second straight game, and he also exited Wednesday's and Friday's contests due to soreness. Mike Trout will receive a turn at designated hitter while Aaron Hicks starts in center field. Rotowire.com Today, 12:21 pm

  • Draws third straight start
    Raley will start in right field and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Raley had started both of the last two games in left field, but he'll head over to right field in the series finale while Mitch Haniger gets the day off. Haniger appears to be entrenched as the Mariners' preferred right fielder, but the playing time in left field seems to be tilting in Raley's favor of late. Both Raley and Clase are likely to eventually lose out on opportunities in the Seattle outfield once Dominic Canzone (shoulder) returns from the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 11:34 am
     
  • Out of starting nine versus lefty
    Kirilloff is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Kirilloff will bow out of the starting nine with the Angels bringing southpaw Reid Detmers to the hill. Kirilloff had made his last two starts in left field, but Austin Martin will spell him Sunday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:23 am
     
  • Hits bench in second straight
    Singleton is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies in Mexico City, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Singleton seems to have moved into the strong side of a platoon at first base of late with the struggling Jose Abreu, though Abreu got the start in Saturday's 12-4 win against Rockies right-hander Paul Quantrill. After going 2-for-5 with two RBI in the win, Abreu will stick in the lineup Sunday against southpaw Austin Gomber. It's unclear if the Astros plan to bring Singleton back in the starting nine the next time they face off against a righty. Rotowire.com Today, 10:57 am
     
  • Gets day off
    Encarnacion-Strand is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Encarnacion-Strand will head to the bench in what looks to be a routine maintenance day after he had started in each of the Reds' last eight games. Spencer Steer will get a day out of the outfield and fill in at first base for Encarnacion-Strand, who has seen his season-long batting average dip below the Mendoza Line (.196) while going 1-for-14 with five strikeouts over his last four starts.

  • Christian Encarnacion-Strand not in lineup Sunday
    Christian Encarnacion-Strand is not in the lineup for Sunday’s contest against the Rangers.

    Advice: Encarnacion-Strand has gone just 1-for-14 over his last four games, and Cincinnati will have the 24-year-old take a day off for the series finale against the Rangers. Spencer Steer is the starting first baseman with Nick Martini the designated hitter. Tyler Stephenson also gets the day off with Luke Maile behind the plate. Rotoworld Today, 9:50 am
     
  • Back in action Sunday
    Diaz (finger) is starting at first base and batting leadoff Sunday against the White Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: The 32-year-old sat out Saturday after being hit by a pitch in the left pinky finger Friday, but he'll rejoin the starting nine after missing just one game. Diaz is hitting .324 in his past nine contests, though he's slugging just .378 during that stretch and has not hit a home run since Opening Day. Rotowire.com Today, 9:04 am
