  • Moves to bench Wednesday
    Brujan is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With Tim Anderson (thumb) returning to action following a one-game absence, Brujan will head to the bench after filling in as Miami's starting shortstop in Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win. Before Tuesday, Brujan had started three of the Marlins' previous four games at third base, and he'll continue to vie with Emmanuel Rivera for playing time at that position until Jake Burger (oblique) returns from the 10-day injured list.

  • Cleared to start Wednesday
    Anderson (thumb) will start at shortstop and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Rockies, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Anderson was out of the lineup for Tuesday's 7-6 extra-inning win due to a left thumb sprain, but he was able to enter the contest as a pinch runner in the bottom of the 10th and ended up scoring the game-tying run. He's now ready to reclaim his usual spot in the infield, after Vidal Brujan drew the start at shortstop Tuesday. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Begins baseball activities
    Gelof (oblique) fielded grounders and played catch Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Gelof was shut down for about a week after landing on the 10-day injured list last Thursday with a strained left oblique, but he's now been cleared to begin baseball activities. Hitting will be the biggest hurdle for him to clear, and it's uncertain when he might be ready to swing a bat. Gelof is eligible to return from the IL on May 15, but it's too soon to know whether he might be back by that date. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago

  • Fills in for resting Bogaerts
    Wade will start at second base and bat ninth Wednesday against the Reds.

    Advice: Wade will stay in the starting nine for the second straight day, but his run of regular playing time at third base against right-handed pitching has come to an end with Manny Machado having recently been cleared to play defense after he had been deployed exclusively at designated hitter for much of the first month of the season. With Machado likely to start at third base more often than not, Wade looks poised to serve as a utility man moving forward. Wade will pick up his first start of the season at second base while Xander Bogaerts receives a day off. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago

  • Gets rare day off
    Bogaerts is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Bogaerts will hit the bench for just the second time all season in what appears to be a routine maintenance day after he had started each of the past 16 games. Tyler Wade will step in for Bogaerts at second base and will bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 11:56 am
     
  • Multi-hit effort in Tuesday's win
    Toro went 2-for-3 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a win over the Pirates on Tuesday.

    Advice: JJ Bleday stole the spotlight for the suddenly surging Athletics with his pair of home runs, but Toro turned in a noteworthy performance while playing a bit of small ball. The 27-year-old extended his hitting streak to five games in the process, a stretch during which he's laced a trio of two-baggers and has boosted his average 39 points to .250.

  • Getting rest Wednesday
    Stott is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: With a lefty (Patrick Sandoval) on the mound for the Angels and with the Phillies and Halos wrapping up their series with a day game after a night game, the lefty-hitting Stott will get a maintenance day. Whit Merrifield will replace Stott at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 11:28 am
     
  • Sits against lefty
    Rojas is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: With southpaw Chris Sale on the bump for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Rojas will retreat to the bench. Luis Urias will draw the start at third base in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 11:19 am

  • Nursing minor injury
    Rays manager Kevin Cash said Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers due to his body and arm "barking a little bit," Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Cash seemed to suggest that Paredes isn't dealing with anything more than general soreness, with the skipper adding that Wednesday was an optimal time to give the third baseman a breather since he'll benefit from a two-day break with the Rays being off Thursday. Paredes, who had started each of the previous 11 games, should be back in the lineup when the Rays open their series with the Mets on Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:08 am
