    • Cardinals and Mets postponed on Wednesday
      Wednesday’s scheduled contest between the Cardinals and Mets in New York was postponed due to rain.

      Advice: The game will be made up on August 5. The Cardinals’ scheduled starter, Sonny Gray, will pitch on Thursday against the Brewers. Mets’ scheduled starter Jose Quintana will pitch on Friday, pushing rookie right-hander Christian Scott back to Saturday. Rotoworld Today, 1:19 pm
       
    • Mets-Cardinals game postponed
      Gray and the Cardinals won't play the Mets on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The game will be made up on Aug. 5, which had been a mutual off day for the two clubs. As a result of the postponement, Gray is expected to be pushed back one day in the pitching schedule to start Thursday in Milwaukee. Rotowire.com Today, 12:55 pm
       
    • Fading into reserve role
      Alexander is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: Alexander is on the bench for a third straight game, with all three absences coming against right-handed pitching. The rookie has a lowly .544 OPS over his past nine games and has gotten poor reviews for his work in the field, so he looks like he'll remain in a backup role at shortstop behind Kevin Newman until Geraldo Perdomo (knee) is back from the injured list.

    • Sitting in early game Wednesday
      Smith is out of the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Athletics.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Smith will hit the bench for the first game of the twin bill while the Athletics bring southpaw JP Sears to the hill. Davis Wendzel will fill in for Smith at third base. Rotowire.com Today, 11:22 am

    • Back to IL with shoulder issue
      The Marlins placed Cabrera on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right shoulder impingement.

      Advice: Cabrera was removed after two innings during his start in Tuesday's 8-2 loss to the Dodgers with what was referred to as right biceps discomfort, but it's officially a shoulder impingement that will force him to the IL. It's the same injury that kept him out for the first few weeks of the season. Cabrera will be eligible to return from the IL later this month, but there's currently no timetable for the righty.

    • Marlins place Edward Cabrera on 15-day IL
      Marlins placed RHP Edward Cabrera on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder impingement.

      Advice: Even with Braxton Garrett back from the injured list, another Marlins starter is right back on that list. Cabrera exited Tuesday’s game early with what was called bicep discomfort, but the team is placing him on the IL with a shoulder injury. The 26-year-old is off to a rough start posting a 7.17 ERA, 1.59 WHIP with a 31/14 K/BB ratio across 21 1/3 innings this season. Rotoworld Today, 10:51 am
       
    • Returns to Triple-A
      The Brewers optioned Black to Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

      Advice: After being called up from Nashville last Tuesday, Black got a look in a near-everyday role, starting in five of the Brewers' ensuing seven games. However, the 23-year-old managed just five hits while striking out eight times in 22 at-bats in his first taste of the big leagues, prompting the Brewers to pull the plug on him with Christian Yelich (back) returning from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. Black should continue to see regular playing time at Nashville and will likely be one of the top options for a call-up if the Brewers need an extra corner infielder at any point.

    • Brewers option Tyler Black to Triple-A
      Brewers optioned INF Tyler Black to Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: This is a bit of a surprise. The Brewers needed to make a roster move for Christian Yelich and the team decided to send down Black. The 23-year-old had three hits in his first two games with the Brewers, but had just two hits in his past five games. He’ll head back down to Triple-A, but there’s a good chance he gets another opportunity with Milwaukee this season. Rotoworld Today, 9:44 am

    • Slugs sixth homer
      Arozarena went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: The 29-year-old outfielder went yard for the third time in the last five games, and while he has only four hits over that stretch, all four have gone for extra bases. Arozarena still isn't quite locked in at the plate -- he hasn't put together a multi-hit performance since March 30 -- but he appears close to breaking out. A hot streak is long overdue, as he sports a .152/.253/.311 slash line through 36 contests with six homers, six steals, 13 RBI and 16 runs. Rotowire.com Today, 7:52 am
