    • Austin Riley (side) still out of action Wednesday
      Austin Riley (side) remains out of the Braves’ starting lineup for Wednesday nights matchup against the CUbs.

      Advice: It’ll be the third straight game that the 27-year-old slugger has missed since leaving Sunday’s contest with inflammation in his left side. Once again, Zack Short will draw a start at third base and will bat ninth against right-hander Javier Assad and the Cubs. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
       
    • Jordan Westburg homers as leadoff man
      Batting leadoff for the first time, Jordan Westburg went 2-for-5 with a homer versus the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

      Advice: Manager Brandon Hyde indicated before the game that this wasn’t a permanent move. Westburg, though, has a case for hitting high in the order regularly. He’s batting .301/.354/.534 with seven homers and five steals in 159 plate appearances. Prior to today, he had hit third once but never higher than fifth otherwise. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago

    • Justin Turner comes off bench in return
      Justin Turner returned to action Wednesday, finishing 0-for-2 off the bench against the Orioles.

      Advice: Turner missed the previous two games because of illness. He’ll now have another day to recuperate, as the Jays don’t play Thursday. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago

    • Sitting in third straight game
      Riley (side) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

      Advice: He'll miss out on a third straight start while he manages left side inflammation, but with the benefit of some added rest in the form of a team off day Thursday, Riley could be healthy enough to rejoin the starting nine for Friday's series opener versus the Padres. Zack Short will make another start at third base in Riley's place Wednesday. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
       
    • Brett Baty not in Mets lineup on Wednesday night
      Brett Baty is not in the Mets’ starting lineup for Wednesday night’s battle against the Phillies.

      Advice: Baty will take a seat on the pine with tough left-hander Ranger Suarez toeing the slab for the Phillies on Wednesday night. The recently recalled Mark Vientos will start in his place at third base and will bat fifth for the Mets. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
       
    • Maikel Garcia getting a night off on Wednesday
      Maikel Garcia is absent from the Royals’ starting lineup for Wednesday evening’s matchup against the Mariners.

      Advice: The 24-year-old infielder has been scuffling a bit at the plate as of late, so perhaps a day off to clear his head will do him some good. On the season, he’s slashing .239/.288/.369 with four homers, 25 RBI and 10 stolen bases through his first 43 games. Adam Frazier will start at the hot corner and hit leadoff against Bryan Woo and the Mariners on Wednesday night in Seattle. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
       
    • Transferred to 60-day IL
      The Athletics transferred Hernaiz (ankle) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

      Advice: The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Aaron Brooks, who is starting Wednesday's game versus the Astros. Hernaiz suffered a severe left ankle sprain a week ago and now won't be eligible to return until early July. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago

    • A’s shift Darell Hernaiz to 60-day IL
      Athletics transferred INF Darell Hernaiz from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list.

      Advice: That must be a pretty bad ankle sprain that Hernaiz suffered last week. The A’s are currently rolling with Max Schuemann as their everyday shortstop. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago

    • Back on bench Wednesday
      Merrifield is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

      Advice: With Bryce Harper (migraine) and Kyle Schwarber (back) both missing time in recent days, Merrifield was one of the main beneficiaries. He started in seven of the previous eight games while manning three different positions, but Merrifield provided just three hits over 32 at-bats over that stretch to bring his batting average down to .188. Both Harper and Schwarber are simultaneously in the lineup for the first time since last Friday, so Merrifield will retreat to the bench and will most likely be in store for a reduction in playing time moving forward.
