  • Brice Turang collects three hits in Brewers’ loss
    Brice Turang went 3-for-4 with an RBI on Wednesday in the Brewers’ loss to the Royals.

    Advice: Turang capped off a three-hit performance with a run-scoring double off Royals reliever Tyler Duffey in the ninth inning, but wound up being stranded in scoring position representing the potential tying run. The 24-year-old speedster has made the most of his opportunity this season, emerging as Milwaukee’s everyday second baseman, posting an .826 OPS with two homers and 14 steals through 34 contests so far.

  • Removed from 40-man roster
    Short was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Wednesday.

    Advice: Short is being swapped out in favor of Romy Gonzalez, who is retuning from the injured list. He played in just two games for the Red Sox, going 0-for-7 with four strikeouts. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago

  • Checking out of starting nine
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Lopez recently overcame a sore adductor and started at second base in the first two contests of the series in Tampa, going 2-for-7 at the plate. The White Sox haven't indicated that Lopez suffered a setback with the injury, so his absence Wednesday is presumably maintenance-related. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago

  • Returns from injured list
    The Red Sox activated Gonzalez (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

    Advice: Gonzalez missed nearly a month of action with a left wrist sprain but has been cleared to return after playing three rehab games. The utility player is starting at first base and batting seventh for Boston on Wednesday in Atlanta. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
     
  • Checks back into starting nine
    Espinal will start at third base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Espinal saw a streak of six consecutive starts come to an end in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to Arizona, and before that, he enjoyed a stretch of 11 consecutive starts. He looks as though he could fall into regular playing time once again, as the Reds placed Christian Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) on the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Jeimer Candelario will move over from his usual spot at third base to cover Encarnacion-Strand's post at first base, opening up the hot corner for Espinal. Despite seeing plenty of usage in his utility role this season, Espinal has provided the Reds with underwhelming numbers (.169 average, one home run, four stolen bases, 12 RBI and five runs) across 90 plate appearances.

  • Jared Triolo goes 0-for-4 against Angels
    Jared Triolo finished 0-for-4 in the loss to the Angels on Wednesday.

    Advice: We figured Triolo would prove to be a solid bat for the Pirates, but he’s come in at just .206/.293/.250 to date. Last year, he had 12 extra-base hits in 181 at-bats as a rookie. Right now, he has three in 120 at-bats. Nick Gonzales has been terrific in Triple-A, so maybe it’s time for the Pirates to try something different at second base. Rotoworld Today, 12:19 pm

  • Moving into regular role
    Newman will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Newman will make his third straight start at shortstop -- all against right-handed pitching -- and looks to have supplanted Blaze Alexander as the Diamondbacks' preferred option at the position while the team waits for Geraldo Perdomo (knee) to return from the injured list. Though he's turned in a poor .559 OPS through 62 plate appearances with Arizona this season, Newman has been a much more polished defender at shortstop than Alexander. Rotowire.com Today, 12:18 pm

  • Fading into reserve role
    Alexander is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Alexander is on the bench for a third straight game, with all three absences coming against right-handed pitching. The rookie has a lowly .544 OPS over his past nine games and has gotten poor reviews for his work in the field, so he looks like he'll remain in a backup role at shortstop behind Kevin Newman until Geraldo Perdomo (knee) is back from the injured list.

  • Keeps up hard hitting Tuesday
    Moore went 2-for-3 with an RBI double, a triple, a walk and two runs in a win over the Twins on Tuesday.

    Advice: Moore's propensity for hard contact was on full display again Tuesday, with the veteran utility man belting his seventh and eighth extra-base hits of the season. Moore has already tied a career high with his pair of three-baggers, and with four doubles, he's just under halfway to his 2023 total of nine in that department. The 31-year-old came into Tuesday with a .143 average and 32.3 percent strikeout rate over the prior 10 games, making his first multi-hit effort since April 24 a particularly welcome sight.
