Kerry Carpenter, who went 0-for-4 as the Tigers’ DH on Tuesday, is on the bench Wednesday against a left-hander.

2 weeks ago

Carpenter is dealing with a hamstring issue that caused him to miss Monday’s game, so keeping him out of the lineup against a lefty is probably a good idea. Justyn-Henry Malloy is DHing today.

Willy Adames has been moved down to the sixth spot in the lineup for Monday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

4 minutes ago

Giants manager Bob Melvin has finally decided to shake things up with Adames hitting just .217/.297/.335 with four homers, 19 RBI and two steals through 41 games in his San Francisco debut. It’ll be Matt Chapman and Heliot Ramos hitting second and third, respectively, with Jung Hoo Lee in the cleanup spot. The hope for fantasy managers is that the move will reduce some of the pressure on Adames and help get him going at the dish. He’s too talented to continue flailing, especially since his plate skills and underlying batted ball metrics remain mostly in line with previous seasons.

Luis Rengifo is not in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Padres.

10 minutes ago

Rengifo is out of the lineup for the third time in the last five games with Tim Anderson at second base. He’s in the midst of an extended tailspin at the plate, batting .191 (9-for-47) with zero homers and one steal over his last 15 games. He’s hitting .091 (2-for-22) over his past seven contests.

Jackson Merrill (illness) is back in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Angels.

14 minutes ago

Merrill is back at DH and batting cleanup on Monday night at Petco Park after missing Sunday’s contest against the Rockies due to illness. The 22-year-old fantasy star is hitting .579 (11-for-19) with one homer and six RBI in four games since returning from the injured list last week.

Oneil Cruz (back) remains absent from the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Mets.

19 minutes ago

Cruz will miss his second consecutive game following an early exit from Saturday’s game with lower back tightness. It doesn’t sound like a significant concern, but it’s a situation fantasy managers should continue to monitor. The 26-year-old fantasy star leads the majors with 16 stolen bases in 37 games this season. It’ll be rookie Alexander Canario patrolling center field on Monday night at Citi Field.

25 minutes ago

Peguero returns to the minors with Isaiah Kiner-Falefa back from the injured list ahead of Monday’s game against the Mets. The 24-year-old infielder went 2-for-9 in four games with the Pirates after returning to the big leagues on May 2.
