    • Sitting against righty amid slump
      Melendez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: The Royals have already scaled back the lefty-hitting Melendez's playing time against southpaws, but he'll take a seat against right-hander Cody Poteet on Wednesday, opening up a start in left field for Garrett Hampson. Since producing a season-high three hits May 10 against the Angels, Melendez has gone 7-for-75 (.093 average) over the past month of action. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

    • Bowing out against righty
      Suwinski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Suwinski has mostly served as a strong-side platoon outfielder since being called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on June 4, but he'll step out of the lineup Wednesday against Cardinals right-hander Sonny Gray. Michael Taylor will replace Suwinski in center field. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
       
    • Cavan Biggio starts at third base in Dodgers debut
      Cavan Biggio will start at third base and bat ninth in his Dodgers’ debut against the Rangers on Wednesday evening.

      Advice: It looks like Biggio could see strong-side platoon at-bats at third base — at least until Max Muncy returns from the injured list — as well as being utilized all over the diamond as a super-utility option. The 29-year-old was hitting a miserable .200/.323/.291 with a pair of homers in 131 plate appearances with the Blue Jays this season before getting designated for assignment and ultimately flipped to the Dodgers.

    • Sitting Wednesday
      Ward (back) isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Diamondbacks, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Lower-back tightness caused Ward to make an early exit from Tuesday's loss, though the Angels labeled his removal as precautionary. He'll remain sidelined Wednesday while Kevin Pillar starts in left field, batting third. Rotowire.com Today, 3:32 pm

    • Taylor Ward (back) held out of lineup on Wednesday
      Taylor Ward (back) was held out of the Angels’ starting lineup for Wednesday evening’s contest against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: The 30-year-old slugger was pulled from Tuesday’s ballgame — as a precautionary measure — due to tightness in his lower back. He’s still considered day-to-day and there haven’t been any rumblings about him requiring a stint on the injured list. Kevin Pillar will start in his place and will bat third for the Halos against Slade Cecconi and the Diamondbacks on Wednesday night in Arizona. Rotoworld Today, 3:30 pm

    • Sitting Wednesday
      Hernandez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

      Advice: Hernandez will sit for the second consecutive contest after starting the previous four games at third base. The 32-year-old has a .591 OPS in 155 plate appearances this season, and the acquisition of Cavan Biggio -- who is starting at the hot corner Wednesday -- could result in a reduced role.

    • Regains strong-side platoon role
      Hurtubise will start in let field and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Guardians.

      Advice: Following Nick Martini's demotion to Triple-A Louisville on June 4, Hurtubise seems to have recaptured a strong-side platoon role in the corner outfield or at designated hitter. He'll crack the lineup for the Reds' fifth straight matchup with a right-handed starter (Tanner Bibee). The 26-year-old rookie has turned in a .227/.352/.295 slash line through his first 58 big-league plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:26 pm
       
    • Austin Slater collects three hits, steals base in win
      Austin Slater went 3-for-5 with a pair of RBI and also stole a base on Wednesday, lifting the Giants to a 5-3 victory over the Astros.

      Advice: A reliable lefty-mashing specialist, Slater got the job done as San Francisco’s top-of-the-order table-setter on Wednesday afternoon with a trio of hits off Astros southpaw Framber Valdez, including a two-run single in the fourth inning. He also picked up his second theft of the season in this one. The 31-year-old veteran is more of a reserve platoon specialist at this stage of his career, but he’s been solid for the Giants, when healthy. Rotoworld Today, 3:24 pm
       
    • Yordan Alvarez swats 14th homer in loss to Giants
      Yordan Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer on Wednesday in the Astros’ loss to the Giants.

      Advice: Alvarez took Giants ace Logan Webb deep with a monsterous 405-foot blast to center field in the sixth inning. He also had a 414-foot double in the fourth inning that would’ve been a homer in virtually every other ballparks besides Oracle Park. The 26-year-old fantasy superstar has caught fire over the last few weeks, batting .390 (23-for-59) with five homers over his last 15 games. He’s also chipped in a pair of stolen bases during that span as well, just for good measure. Rotoworld Today, 3:21 pm
