Trey Mancini Returns To Lineup Sunday
Baltimore Orioles outfielder/first baseman Trey Mancini will bat seventh on Sunday against the Braves after being out of the starting lineup for three straight games with neck stiffness. The 26-year-old has posted a disappointing .219/.291/.361 slash line this season, so fantasy owners may consider sitting him in their lineups in his first start back.

Paul Goldschmidt Out Of Lineup Sunday
Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Paul Goldschmidt (rest) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates. This is just a routine day off for Goldschmidt, who has been a solid fantasy option again this season after getting off to a slow start. He should be out of fantasy owners' lineups today.
