  • 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

    Player Note
  • 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 Sunday, 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.

  • Resting Sunday
    Stubbs is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Stubbs will get a breather for the series finale after he had started at catcher in both of the previous two contests. Rafael Marchan gets a turn behind the dish Sunday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:24 am
  • Losing work to Austin Wells
    Trevino is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: He'll take a seat for the second day in a row and the third time in four games while Austin Wells earns another turn behind the plate. Trevino has gone just 3-for-26 at the dish over his last nine games, while Wells is holding down a .781 OPS in June. Manager Aaron Boone seems to be favoring the hotter bat in Wells for the moment.

  • Pirates option C Delay back to Triple-A
    Pirates optioned C Jason Delay to Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: Delay is heading back to Indianapolis with Joey Bart activated off the injured list. The 29-year-old backstop will remain organizational depth available if needed if there’s another injury for Pittsburgh behind the plate. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:48 am
  • Receiving Sunday off
    Alvarez is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Astros.

    Advice: It's a well-deserved day off for Alvarez, who posted a .471/.558/.882 slash line with five doubles and three homers while starting the past 17 games. Luis Torrens will step in behind the plate to catch for righty Luis Severino on Sunday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:29 am
  • Records fourth steal in loss
    Raleigh went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a loss to the Twins on Saturday.

    Advice: Raleigh is much more renowned for his power than his speed, but he's now up to a career-high four stolen bases with Saturday's swipe. The slugging backstop has reached safely in seven straight games, a stretch during which he owns a .429 on-base percentage thanks in large part to a 25.0 percent walk rate.

  • Bowing out of starting nine
    Fortes is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: On the bench for the fourth time in six games, Fortes' standing atop the depth chart at catcher could be on shaky ground. Fortes looked to have gained some job security after the Marlins pushed Christian Bethancourt off their 40-man roster earlier this month, but Ali Sanchez has impressed with a .353 on-base percentage since getting called up from Triple-A Jacksonville on June 21. Sanchez will get another turn behind the plate Sunday at Fortes' expense. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:11 am
