Mason Williams will play center in his place. Williams is hitting .250 with a three-run home run in 10 plate appearances […]

Jeimer Candelario Out Of Lineup Sunday

Detroit Tigers third baseman Jeimer Candelario (rest) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Indians. Ronny Rodriguez will man the hot corner in his place. Rodriguez is hitting just .163 this season and the Tigers will face ace Corey Kluber, so fantasy players should avoid him today.

Despite his name appearing in trade talks, Baltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is likely to remain with the O's through the rest of the 2018 season, per The Athletic's Dan Connolly.
