  • Hunter Goodman sits for Rockies on Monday
    Hunter Goodman is back on the bench Monday after making his first start in four games Sunday.

    Advice: It’s like the Rockies stopped viewing Goodman as an option at first base and in right field after Elias Díaz got hurt last month and still haven’t changed that mindset, even though Díaz is back now. Goodman last started at a position other than catcher on June 10. Obviously, Jake Cave is just too good to sit. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:38 pm
  • Returns to Triple-A club Monday
    Triple-A Reno reinstated Barrosa (undisclosed) from the 7-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: The 23-year-old outfielder missed about three weeks of action during his second IL stint of the season. Barrosa previously appeared in three games for Arizona in early April, but he'll likely stick around at Reno for the foreseeable future unless the Diamondbacks outfield is hit by the injury bug.

  • Free agent after opting out
    The Twins released Kemp on Monday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Advice: Kemp had a July 1 opt-out clause in his minor-league contract and decided to exercise it. The utility player slashed .279/.358/.436 with six homers in 46 games with Triple-A St. Paul. He'll now look to latch on in another organization. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:09 pm

  • Transferred to emergency list
    The Reds transferred Stephenson (personal) from the paternity list to the family medical emergency list Monday.

    Advice: Stephenson had been away for the last three games while on the paternity list. By rule, players can miss 3-to-7 days while on the family medical emergency list, whereas he would have to be activated ahead of Tuesday's game against the Yankees had he remained on the paternity list. Luke Maile and Austin Wynns will handle catching duties for Cincinnati while Stephenson is away. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:06 pm
  • Brandon Nimmo absent due to cut on forehead
    Brandon Nimmo is out of Monday’s lineup after suffering a cut on his forehead when he fell in his hotel room last night.

    Advice: Fortunately, it doesn’t sound like Nimmo hurt his head beyond he cut. His absence means the Mets have Jeff McNeil in the outfield and José Iglesias at second tonight. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:48 pm
  • Sitting against southpaw
    Garcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: With southpaw David Peterson on the bump for the Mets, the lefty-hitting Garcia will head to the bench in the series opener. Ildemaro Vargas will fill in for Garcia at the keystone. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:42 pm
  • Out against left-hander
    Winker is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Winker is poised to become the Nationals' primary designated hitter after the club designated Eddie Rosario for assignment and called up James Wood from Triple-A Rochester to play left field on an everyday basis. The lefty-hitting Winker will begin the four-game series with the Mets on the bench, however, with New York sending left-hander David Peterson to the mound. Harold Ramirez will serve as the DH on Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:41 pm
  • Harold Ramirez starting again for Nationals
    Harold Ramirez is starting at designated hitter and batting third for the Nationals against the Mets on Monday

    Advice: The Mets are throwing a left-handed pitcher, so this shouldn’t be a huge surprise, but it’s also Ramirez’s third straight start, including two against righties. The Mets have left-handed pitchers set to start each of the next three games, so Ramirez could have some short-term fantasy value as he looks to carve out a bigger role with his new team.

  • Nightengale: Rival execs say Alonso is staying put
    According to USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, rival team execs believe it’s more likely that Pete Alonso is not traded at the deadline.

    Advice: Nightengale mentioned that “rival teams who have expressed interest” in Alonso are “convinced” he will “definitely stay put as long as the Mets are within five games of the wild-card race.” As of now, the Mets are just two games back and are 12-4 over their last 16 games. If the Mets do keep Alonso beyond the trade deadline, they will need to then decide how badly they want to extend him, but it would take one of the biggest power bats off the trade block this season.
