Player Notes

  • Justin Turner drives in lone run for Blue Jays
    Justin Turner went 1-for-4 with an RBI on Sunday against the Yankees.

    Advice: The Jays offense was stifled once again. Turner’s RBI single was their only sign of life and he had three of the team’s six hard-hit balls on the day. The ageless Turner is sporting a respectable .251 average and .734 OPS. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:38 pm

  • Not in Sunday's lineup
    Urias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Urias started the first two games of the series but will sit for the finale Sunday amid an 0-for-17 slump. Jordan Westburg will man the hot corner while Jorge Mateo receives the start at second base. Rotowire.com Sunday, 1:31 pm

  • Goes deep in win
    Tellez went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-2 win against Atlanta.

    Advice: Tellez continued his hot month of June, as he now has three of his four homers and 14 of his 22 RBI for the season over his last 19 games. He had a .940 OPS in June after entering the month with a .463 OPS for the season. The 29-year-old is turning the corner and has elevated his slash line to .230/.286/.332 for the campaign.

  • Retreating to bench vs. lefty
    Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The platoon-happy Giants will hold out Wade and fellow lefty-hitting regulars Michael Conforto and Brett Wisely while the Dodgers send a southpaw (James Paxton) to the hill. David Villar will check in at first base in place of Wade, who went 2-for-9 with a double, a walk and a run scored in the first two games of the series following his return from a month-long stay on the injured list due to a hamstring strain.

  • Exiting starting nine Sunday
    Biggio is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Biggio will head to the bench after he started at third base over the first two games of the series, going 0-for-5 with two strikeouts. Chris Taylor will step in at third base in place of Biggio, who is slashing just .167/.265/.167 with a 35.3 percent strikeout rate since being acquired from the Blue Jays on June 12.

  • Hitting bench in series finale
    Carpenter is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Carpenter had gone 3-for-6 with a double, a walk, two runs and two RBI while starting in each of the Cardinals' previous three matchups versus righties, but he'll take a seat Sunday even as Cincinnati brings righty Hunter Greene to the mound. Though the Cardinals still seem to view Carpenter as their primary designated hitter against righties, he'll head to the bench any time manager Oliver Marmol wants to give one his other everyday players a day out of the field. Willson Contreras will cede catching duties to Pedro Pages on Sunday while he replaces Carpenter at DH. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:16 am
  • Back to bench Sunday
    Arias is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Arias started in five of the past six games while seeing action at three different positions, but he'll head to the bench in Sunday's series finale. The Guardians should continue to open up regular playing time for Arias against left-handed pitching, but his starting opportunities against right-handed pitching may be more sporadic while the Guardians have all of their regular hitters available with the exception of outfielder Will Brennan (ribs), who was recently placed on the injured list.

  • 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 Sunday, 10:53 am

  • Late scratch Sunday
    Davis was scratched from Sunday's lineup against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The 31-year-old probably is perfectly healthy, but Juan Soto's (hand) late addition to the starting nine will bump Davis from the lineup. He's gone 1-for-9 with a double, two walks, an RBI and a run in three games since being acquired by the Yankees last weekend. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:49 am
