  • Idle against lefty
    Soderstrom is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: With lefty Framber Valdez on the hill for Houston, the lefty-hitting Soderstrom will retreat to the bench. Soderstrom appears to have settled into the strong side of a platoon at first base with the right-handed-hitting J.D. Davis, who will get the starting nod Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:52 pm
     
  • Jon Singleton absent from Astros’ lineup Wednesday
    Jon Singleton is absent from the Astros’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s battle against the Athletics.

    Advice: It looks to be just a routine night off for the 32-year-old slugger. Singleton, who has functioned as the team’s everyday first baseman since Jose Abreu’s demotion, is hitting just .213/.311/.371 with four homers and 10 RBI on the season. Mauricio Dubon will start in his his place at first base and will bat eighth against Aaron Brooks and the Athletics. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm
     
  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Singleton is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Singleton has taken over as the Astros' regular first baseman since Jose Abreu's demotion, but he'll begin Wednesday's contest on the bench. Mauricio Dubon will fill in for Singleton at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 1:15 pm
     
  • Justin Turner comes off bench in return

  • Exits game with bruised knee
    Santander was removed from Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jays due to a bruised knee, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. He went 2-for-4 with a double.

    Advice: Santander banged up his knee when he collided with the outfield wall and then aggravated it on a double and a slide in the eighth inning before being lifted in the ninth. The injury doesn't sound like a big concern, and it's possible the Orioles' scheduled off day Thursday will be enough rest for Santander. Consider him day-to-day heading into this weekend's series versus the Mariners. Rotowire.com Today, 1:12 pm

  • Anthony Santander leaves game with bruised knee
    Anthony Santander was pulled from Wednesday’s contest against the Blue Jays due to a bruised knee.

    Advice: Santander initially suffered the injury when he crashed into the outfield wall in the third inning on Wednesday. He then aggravated if further while sliding into second base during the eighth inning. It doesn’t sound like it’s anything that should require a trip to the injured list, but there’s a chance that the 29-year-old slugger will be held out of the lineup an extra day or two to be on the safe side.

  • Luis Arraez not in Padres’ lineup on Wednesday
    Luis Arraez is not in the Padres’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s tilt against the Rockies.

    Advice: It looks to be nothing more than a routine day of rest for the two-time defending batting champion. Manny Machado will function as the team’s designated hitter on Wednesday while Donovan Solano will draw a start at third base and bat sixth against left-hander Austin Gomber and the Rockies. Jurickson Profar will slide up to the leadoff spot in the Padres’ lineup. Rotoworld Today, 1:00 pm

  • Back in action Wednesday
    Harper (migraine) will start at first base and bat third in Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: Harper will make his return to the lineup after sitting out Tuesday's 4-0 win with what was apparently a minor migraine. Alec Bohm filled in at first base but will move back to his usual post at third base Wednesday to accommodate Harper. Rotowire.com Today, 12:11 pm
     
  • Five innings on defense Tuesday
    Diaz (calf) started at third base and played five innings in Triple-A Las Vegas' win over El Paso on Tuesday, going 1-for-3 with an RBI single.

    Advice: Diaz picked up the first hit of his three-game rehab stint on his final at-bat of the evening, and he took another step in the right direction by logging five frames on defense for the second straight game. The veteran is likely to continue taking a day off between appearances for the moment as his ramp-up following a long layoff continues. Rotowire.com Today, 11:58 am
