    • Kyle Gibson gets scratched due to back tightness

    • Late scratch with back tightness
      Gibson was scratched from Wednesday's start in Miami due to back tightness, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

      Advice: Matthew Liberatore will draw the start Wednesday on short notice, as Gibson's back must have tightened up on him while he was warming up before the game. Consider Gibson day-to-day until the Cardinals provide more details. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
       
    • Cardinals activate Kyle Gibson to start Wednesday
      Cardinals activated RHP Kyle Gibson from the bereavement list.

      Advice: Gibson will start against the Marlins today on normal rest after three days off the roster. Rotoworld Today, 7:23 am
       
    • Getting day off
      Vierling is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: Vierling had made 13 consecutive starts and the Tigers are wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, so the 27-year-old is presumably just getting some routine maintenance. With Vierling on the bench, the Tigers will open up a spot in the starting outfield for Akil Baddoo, who will man left and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 6:51 am

    • Activated from bereavement list
      The Cardinals activated Gibson (personal) from the bereavement list Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Gibson will start Wednesday's game in Miami after being away from the club for a few days to tend to personal matters. The right-hander is coming off arguably his best outing of the season, having struck out six over seven scoreless frames last Friday in a win over the Cubs. Rotowire.com Today, 6:07 am
       
    • Converts on 19th save
      Iglesias picked up the save Tuesday against Detroit, throwing a perfect inning with one strikeout.

      Advice: Iglesias is now 19-for-21 on save chances this season and holds the fourth most saves in baseball. Tuesday's outing was a strong rebound after allowing a two-run homer and taking the loss Sunday against Tampa Bay. Overall, Iglesias owns a 2.60 ERA across 27.2 innings.

    • Logan Webb settles for no-decision against Cubs
      Logan Webb allowed two runs over seven innings on Tuesday in a no-decision against the Cubs.

      Advice: Webb coughed up a two-run homer to Dansby Swanson in the second inning on Tuesday evening at Wrigley Field, but managed to keep Chicago’s potent lineup off the scoreboard into the late stages of this one. He struck out five and only issued one walk. The 27-year-old righty has completed six frames in eight consecutive starts since May 10. He’ll bring a solid 2.99 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 82/21 K/BB ratio across 99 1/3 innings (16 starts) into a rematch on Monday against the Cubs back at Oracle Park. Rotoworld Today, 2:55 am
       
    • Delivers go-ahead blast
      Hernandez went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Tuesday's 11-9 win over the Rockies.

      Advice: Hernandez had gone six games without a homer after a stretch in which he went deep five times over five contests earlier in the month. He saved his best play for last Tuesday, putting the Dodgers ahead with a ninth-inning blast to complete the comeback win. The outfielder is up to 18 homers, 54 RBI, 41 runs scored, four stolen bases and a .255/.326/.503 slash line through 75 games this season. He's firmly on pace to top the 30-homer mark for just the second time in his career. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:29 pm
       
    • Heyward, Hernández fuel seven-run Dodgers comeback
      Teoscar Hernández hit a three-run homer in the top of the ninth to propel the Dodgers to an 11-9 win over the Rockies on Tuesday.

      Advice: The Dodgers also got a grand slam from Jason Heyward in scoring seven runs in the ninth. Hernández very well could have struck out to the game on the pitch prior to his homer, but he was given a reprieve by Lance Barksdale on a very close check-swing call. It was Hernández’s 18th homer of the year. He’s sixth in MLB with 54 RBI. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:20 pm
