    • Not in Wednesday's lineup
      Grandal (groin) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Giants.

      Advice: Grandal was removed late in Tuesday's 7-6 win with left groin soreness. He has avoided the injured list for the time being, though the Pirates have added catcher Grant Koch to their taxi squad as protection in case the team needs to move another backstop onto the 26-man active roster. Joey Bart will handle the catching duties Wednesday in Grandal's stead. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
       
    • Resting for Wednesday's contest
      Herrera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Herrera caught three innings earlier in the day after the Cardinals resumed Tuesday's suspended game in the bottom of the sixth and emerged with a 3-1 victory, so he'll just be getting some rest in Wednesday's regularly scheduled game. Pedro Pages will get the starting nod behind the dish. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
       
    • Getting breather Wednesday
      Diaz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

      Advice: He'll be getting a breather for the series finale after starting behind the dish Monday and Tuesday while going 3-for-8 with a pair of doubles, two runs and an RBI. Victor Caratini will handle the catching duties Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 9:38 am

    • Henry Davis unlikely to get callup from Pirates
      The Pirates have added Grant Koch, not Henry Davis, to the taxi squad following Yasmani Grandal’s injury Tuesday.

      Advice: Davis has been fantastic offensively since being sent down, hitting .279/.456/.628 in 12 games, but the Pirates apparently don’t want to bring him back yet. If Grandal goes on the injured list, the light-hitting Koch would likely back up Joey Bart. Rotoworld Today, 9:04 am

    • Sitting against southpaw
      Melendez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Melendez will head to the bench for the series finale while the Tigers bring ace southpaw Tarik Skubal to the bump. Nelson Velazquez will spell Melendez in left field. Rotowire.com Today, 8:41 am
       
    • Working behind plate Wednesday
      Fermin will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

      Advice: He'll be rewarded with his third start in four games after going 4-for-7 with a walk, an RBI and two runs between his previous two turns behind the plate. The Royals will likely continue to make room for Fermin in the lineup when the team opposes left-handed pitching, but his opportunities against right-handers will likely remain more limited while top backstop Salvador Perez is healthy.

    • Day off Wednesday
      O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Houston, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The Angels' top catcher will get a routine day off as the Angels and Astros wrap up their series with a game that begins at 2:10 p.m. ET. Matt Thaiss will start behind the plate Wednesday while O'Hoppe receives some rest. Rotowire.com Today, 8:34 am
       
    • Hoping to take BP soon
      The Mets are aiming for Alvarez (thumb) to begin taking batting practice during their May 24-to-June 2 homestand, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

      Advice: It's been a month since Alvarez had surgery to address a torn UCL in his left thumb and he's almost ready to pick up a bat as he advances his rehab. The catcher remains on track to return to the Mets' active roster in mid-to-late June. Rotowire.com Today, 8:32 am
       
    • Francisco Alvarez (thumb) could hit next week
      Francisco Alvarez could begin taking batting practice next week as he continues his recovery from a torn UCL in his left thumb.

      Advice: Alvarez is about a month away from returning, assuming that everything goes as hoped. He had surgery on the thumb on April 23. Rotoworld Today, 8:30 am
