Out Sunday with bruised knee
Gamel (knee) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After exiting Saturday's 5-3 win in the sixth inning with a left knee contusion, Gamel will get at least one day off to rest the injury. Jason Heyward will take Gamel's spot in the outfield, manning left field while batting seventh in the series finale in Anaheim.

2017
Gamel appeared in 122 games with Cleveland and Pittsburgh during the 2021 campaign and slashed .247/.347/.388 with eight homers, 43 runs, 26 RBI and three stolen bases. He served mainly in the strong side of a platoon last year and looks set for significant playing time again in the Pittsburgh outfield. While he may sit against some lefties, he could hit in the top half of the lineup against righties. Gamel lacks upside, but he could be a solid compiler in NL-only leagues or draft-and-hold formats.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could draw trade interest
Gamel could be on the radar of teams needing a fourth outfielder, opines Roy Biertempfel of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Gamel is an excellent defensive corner outfielder and can play center field or first base in a pinch. Offensively, he's produced a slightly above average .247/.332/.386 line, good for a 105 wRC+. With just the prorated portion of a $1.8 million salary for this season owed to him, he would be a relatively cheap addition for an acquiring team looking for outfield depth without costing a huge prospect haul.
