  • On bench Sunday
    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

  • Taking seat against lefty
    Melendez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Melendez will sit against Cleveland lefty Logan Allen on Sunday, ending a stretch of 11 straight starts during which he posted a .688 OPS. Dairon Blanco will man left field and bat ninth in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 11:08 am
  • Riding pine Sunday
    Fry is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Jose Ramirez will get a day out of the infield and serve as the Guardians' designated hitter, so Fry will hit the bench to accommodate him. Fry had started in each of the last three games, going 4-for-10 with two doubles and two walks to bring his OPS up to .950 on the season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:53 am

  • Receiving rest Sunday
    Lee is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Lee will get the afternoon off after he started at catcher in both of the first two contests of the series. Martin Maldonado will spell Lee behind the dish in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 10:46 am
  • On bench, set to lose playing time
    Stallings is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Stallings had started at catcher in each of the past three games, but he should be headed for a stark downturn in playing time after the Rockies reinstated Elias Diaz (calf) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. Diaz will be eased back into the lineup Sunday as the Rockies' designated hitter while Hunter Goodman handles catching duties, but Diaz should see the bulk of the reps behind the dish moving forward.

  • Gabriel Moreno (thumb) could return Tuesday
    Gabriel Moreno (thumb) could be activated off the injured list as as soon as Tuesday, Jody Jackson of the Diamondbacks reports.

    Advice: Moreno was placed on the injured list last Saturday with a sprained left thumb, and he’ll be eligible for activation Tuesday. The 24-year-old may get a couple extra days, but the Diamondbacks already announced they don’t believe he needs a rehab assignment, so it would take something unforeseeable for him not to be back before the middle of the week.

  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Ruiz is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Ruiz has a .639 OPS in his past 10 games and will head to the bench for the series finale in Tampa Bay. Drew Millas will step in behind the plate to catch for lefty Patrick Corbin. Rotowire.com Today, 10:31 am
  • Resting Sunday
    Stubbs is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.
