Cruz heads to the bench after making eight consecutive starts in center field for Pittsburgh since June 28. Alexander Canario will patrol center field on Monday night in Kansas City. The 26-year-old power/speed combo threat has gone hitless in four of his last five games and hasn’t batted higher than fifth since June 25. His fantasy stock is clearly trending in the wrong direction, but it’s not out of the question that he uses the upcoming All-Star break to make adjustments and turn his season around.

Heaney’s velocity has been down all year, but at least he’s been consistent; he’d averaged in between 89.8 and 90.5 mph with his fastball every start until tonight, when he was down to 89.5 mph despite not pitching very deep into the game. His slider was actually down 1.8 mph from his season average. It seems like bad news for a pitcher the Pirates are certainly planning to trade later this month. Heaney dropped to 4-8 with a 4.41 ERA. He’ll likely face the Twins on Sunday.

Jared Triolo gets the nod at the cold corner over Horwitz, who takes a seat after making eight consecutive starts since June 28. He’s batted leadoff in six straight games for the Pirates, which certainly helps his fantasy appeal in extremely deep formats.

Buxton made the announcement on his Instagram page on Monday afternoon. The Georgia native becomes the fourth confirmed participant, joining Braves icon Ronald Acuña Jr., Mariners mashing backstop Cal Raleigh and Nationals burgeoning star James Wood. The 31-year-old center fielder has crushed 20 homers already this season and is on pace to threaten the 40-homer plateau for the first time in his career.
