  • Jonathan India (illness) sits again on Wednesday
    Jonathan India (illness) is not in the Reds’ lineup for Wednesday’s tilt against the Phillies.

    Advice: Like teammate Jake Fraley, it’s the fourth straight contest that India will miss with the nasty illness that has made its rounds through the Reds’ clubhouse. He’s still considered day-to-day. Santiago Espinal will once again start in his place at second base and will bat eighth against Spencer Turnbull and the Phillies. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago

  • Sits in second straight game vs. LHP
    Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Stott is on the bench for the second day in a row while the Phillies oppose another left-handed starting pitcher (Nick Lodolo). Whit Merrifield will get another turn at the keystone in place of Stott. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Remains on bench Wednesday
    India (illness) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: India and Jake Fraley are being held out of the starting nine for the fourth and fifth consecutive games, respectively, as both work to return to 100 percent health in their recoveries from illness. Santiago Espinal has been serving as India's primary replacement and will draw another start at second base Wednesday. According to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, India was at the team facility Wednesday and was able to do some hitting, so he should be available off the bench, if needed. Rotowire.com Today, 12:31 pm

  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Massey is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Massey had started four of the first five games since being activated from the injured list, but he will begin this one on the bench while Adam Frazier handles second base. The 26-year-old is 3-for-14 with a couple RBI since returning from a back injury. Rotowire.com Today, 12:26 pm
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Julien is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Julien will retreat to the bench Wednesday while southpaw Garrett Crochet takes the bump for Chicago. Kyle Farmer will step in for Julien at second base and will bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 12:04 pm
     
  • Hamstring injury lingering
    Angels manager Ron Washington said Wednesday that Drury is still feeling soreness from last week's left hamstring injury, Anthony Bautista of The Sporting Tribune reports.

    Advice: Drury is out of the lineup Wednesday for a third straight game, although Washington said the 31-year-old is available to pinch hit. The Angels are idle Thursday, so Drury could be ready to return to the lineup Friday versus the Twins. Luis Rengifo is at second base Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:01 pm

  • Absent from lineup again
    Drury is out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Orioles, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Drury missed three games last week with a hamstring injury before returning to play three straight contests over the weekend. However, he's now been absent from the lineup for all three games of the series against Baltimore, so it's fair to wonder whether the hamstring injury could be lingering or if he's simply being phased out amid his slow start to the season. Drury has struggled to a .547 OPS over 73 plate appearances thus far. Rotowire.com Today, 10:26 am

  • Benched against lefty
    Holliday is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Holliday will take a seat for the second time in three days while the Angels bring another southpaw (Tyler Anderson) to the hill for the series finale. Jorge Mateo will check in at second base in place of Holliday, who is off to a 2-for-34 start to his big-league career since receiving a promotion from Triple-A Norfolk on April 10.
