Guardians' Rhys Hoskins: On bench after six straight starts
Rotowire
Hoskins is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Nationals.
Hoskins will head to the bench after he had started in each of the last six games, going a collective 4-for-20 with a home run, two doubles, a walk and two RBI during that stretch. Though he should remain a mainstay in the Cleveland lineup against left-handed pitching, Hoskins is still expected to play second fiddle to Kyle Manzardo at first base versus righties.

Guardians' Rhys Hoskins: Drawing fifth straight start
Rotowire
Hoskins will start at first base and bat cleanup in Sunday's game against the Phillies.
Hoskins will stick in the lineup for the fifth game in a row, with four of those starts coming at first base in place of Kyle Manzardo. The two had largely been working in a platoon this season, but Manzardo has been on the bench for three of the last four matchups with right-handed pitchers despite having posted a .924 OPS since the beginning of May. It's unclear if Hoskins has usurped Manzardo as the Guardians' primary option at first base, or if manager Stephen Vogt simply wanted to give Hoskins extra playing time during a series in Philadelphia, where the 33-year-old spent the first seven seasons of his big-league career.

Rotowire
Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, two walks and an additional run scored during the Guardians' 7-6 loss to the Reds on Friday.

Rotowire
Hoskins went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and one walk in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Royals.
Hoskins took Stephen Kolek deep in the fourth inning, accounting for Cleveland's lone extra-base hit of the night and all three runs. Hoskins has now homered in two of his last four games after going deep just once in Cleveland's first 32 contests.

Guardians' Rhys Hoskins: Homer, double in win
Rotowire
Hoskins went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a home run and three RBI in Friday's 8-5 win over the Athletics.
Hoskins' two-run two-bagger tied the game at 4-4 in the fifth inning, and he added a solo shot in the seventh that ended up being the decisive run. The first baseman had gone just 2-for-13 across six games since his last multi-hit performance. He's batting .219 with a .751 OPS, two homers, nine RBI, 13 runs scored, six doubles and no stolen bases over 90 plate appearances this season. Hoskins should be in the lineup against most southpaws while seeing part-time usage between first base and designated hitter against right-handers.

Guardians' Rhys Hoskins: Sitting in second straight
Rotowire
Hoskins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.
After a recent stretch of four consecutive starts, Hoskins will be on the bench against a right-handed pitcher for a second straight game as the Guardians close out their series with the Rays. Hoskins should continue to regularly replace Kyle Manzardo at first base when the Guardians face lefties, but Hoskins looks like he'll have to settle for a part-time role versus righties.

Hoskins will start at first base and bat cleanup in Monday's game against the Rays.
Hoskins will remain in the lineup for a fourth straight game after getting on base in five of his 12 plate appearances over the previous three contests. The 33-year-old should continue seeing regular starts versus left-handed pitching at the expense of Kyle Manzardo, but Hoskins will likely remain limited to more of a part-time role against righties.

Guardians' Rhys Hoskins: Drawing fourth straight start
Rotowire
Hoskins will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Astros.
Hoskins will stick in the lineup for a fourth straight game, with Cleveland having faced three right-handed starters during that stretch. The 33-year-old had begun to lose out on regular starts after striking out at a 41.4 percent clip over his first eight games, but he's turned in more competitive plate appearances since then, walking nearly as often as he's struck out (5:6 BB:K). Hoskins is still batting just .192 on the season and isn't providing much power either (one home run), making him an underwhelming fantasy option through the first three-plus weeks.

Guardians' Rhys Hoskins: Remaining on bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Hoskins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.
Since the calendar flipped to April, Hoskins has slashed just .152/.222/.333 with a 27.8 percent strikeout rate over nine games. As a result of his ongoing struggles, Hoskins will be left out of the lineup for the second straight day, with both of his absences coming against right-handed starting pitchers. Hoskins should still be a mainstay in the starting nine versus southpaws, but Guardians manager Stephen Vogt may prefer to use Kyle Manzardo at first base and a rotation of players at the designated-hitter spot against righties.
