    • Receives 10-game suspension
      Blanco has been suspended 10 games by Major League Baseball for violating the prohibitions on foreign substances, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Blanco was ejected from Tuesday's against the Athletics prior to the fourth inning after umpires examined his glove for a foreign substance, which is an automatic 10-game suspension. The pitcher indicated after the contest that he planned to appeal the suspension, but he has not yet formally done that. If Blanco does indeed appeal, he would be allowed to pitch until the appeal is heard. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

    • Ronel Blanco receives 10-game suspension
      Ronel Blanco was given a 10-game suspension after umpires detected a foreign substance on his glove during a check after the third inning on Tuesday.

      Advice: As anticipated, the 30-year-old hurler plans to appeal the suspension. That appeal should be heard relatively quickly, so expect a decision to come down perhaps before the end of the week. Regardless, fantasy managers should have a contingency plan in place for next week. Rotoworld 20 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 27 minutes ago

    • Cedric Mullins gets pulled for pinch-hitter
      Cedric Mullins, who was dropped to ninth in Baltimore’s lineup, was lifted for a pinch-hitter after opening up 0-for-2 on Wednesday.

      Advice: Mullins is 0-for-16 with eight strikeouts in his last five games and 5-for-59 with a 19/4 K/BB in his last 18 games. He was off to fine start before that, but the Orioles seem to have real concerns about the way he’s performing, given that he was just held out of the starting lineup twice against righties over the weekend. He’s down to .183/.234/.349 for the season. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
       
    • Getting day off Wednesday
      Carroll is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: Carroll looked like he might be righting the ship earlier this month, but he's since fallen back into a 3-for-28 slump over his last seven contests. Jake McCarthy will patrol center field Wednesday while Carroll regroups. Rotowire.com Today, 8:56 am
       
    • Gunnar Henderson bats cleanup versus Blue Jays
      Gunnar Henderson, who had led off for the Orioles every game this season, is in the cleanup spot for Wednesday’s game.

      Advice: It seems like this is a consequence of the struggling Cedric Mullins being dropped to the ninth spot today, and manager Brandon Hyde not wanting to stack lefties. Still, Henderson hits more like a No. 3 or No. 4 hitter than a leadoff man anyway; he’s sitting at .264/.339/.553 this year and .257/.331/.495 for his career. Jordan Westburg is leading off today. It’d be great for his value if this becomes permanent, but it doesn’t sound like that’s what Hyde is planning at the moment. Rotoworld Today, 8:16 am

    • Batting cleanup Wednesday
      Henderson will start at shortstop and bat cleanup in Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: It's the first time this season that Henderson has batted anywhere other than leadoff. The 22-year-old's production has slowed in May (.649 OPS), so Orioles manager Brandon Hyde is electing to shake things up a bit. Toronto is starting left-hander Yusei Kikuchi on Wednesday and the left-handed-hitting Henderson has actually been much better versus southpaws (1.008 OPS) this season. Rotowire.com Today, 8:06 am

    • Moves up to leadoff spot
      Westburg will start at third base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's game versus the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Westburg will occupy the top spot in the batting order for the first time in his big-league career. Normal leadoff man Gunnar Henderson will shift down to the cleanup spot while Toronto brings in left-hander Yusei Kikuchi. Rotowire.com Today, 8:02 am

    • Pitches well in return
      Fairbanks struck out two and didn't allow a baserunner across a scoreless inning Tuesday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Fairbanks was briefly sidelined due to a cut on his throwing hand, but he returned to pitch the ninth inning of a tied game Tuesday. He showed no ill effects from the injury and has turned in two scoreless outings since returning from a nerve issue in his arm. Rotowire.com Today, 7:26 am
