  • Brewers option Abner Uribe to Triple-A
    Brewers optioned RHP Abner Uribe to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Uribe opened the season as the Brewers’ closer, but wound up posting a troublesome 6.91 ERA and 1.88 WHIP over 14 1/3 innings. He was also a major player in Tuesday’s scuffle with Jose Siri and the Rays, resulting in a six-game suspension that he’s appealing. He’ll try to get back on track at Triple-A.

  • Won't start against lefty
    Lux is not included in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Lux will begin the matchup in the dugout as the Diamondbacks start their third straight lefty in Jordan Montgomery on Wednesday. Miguel Rojas will get his second consecutive start at second base and bat seventh. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • Out against lefty
    Outman isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against the Diamondbacks.

  • Shohei Ohtani gets breather on Wednesday
    Shohei Ohtani is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Wednesday evening’s showdown against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: It’s a rare and well-deserved day off for the superstar slugger. Will Smith will function as the Dodgers designated hitter on Wednesday while Austin Barnes does the catching against Jordan Montgomery and the D’Backs. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago

  • Receiving first day off
    Ohtani is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: It hasn't been reported that Ohtani is dealing with any type of injury, so he's presumably just receiving his first rest day of the season. Ohtani still has a 1.017 OPS on the campaign but has gone 5-for-26 over the past six games, and Thursday's team off day will provide a chance for two straight days to reset. Will Smith will rest his legs as the designated hitter while Austin Barnes starts behind the plate. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

  • Michael Massey homers, knocks in four for Royals
    Michael Massey had a three-run homer and an RBI groundout Wednesday as the Royals topped the Blue Jays 6-1.

    Advice: Massey’s 357-foot homer off Nate Pearson put the game away in the eighth. The second baseman also homered Tuesday. He was held out of the starting lineup three times in his first 10 games back from a season-opening IL stint due to back tightness, including once against a righty, but as long as he keeps hitting, he should hold off Adam Frazier and be a fixture against righties. He’ll still likely do some sitting versus lefties. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
     
  • Byron Buxton (knee) will undergo MRI
    Byron Buxton will undergo an MRI exam on his injured right knee after leaving Wednesday’s game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Buxton pulled up on a stolen base attempt during the game and had to be helped off the field. It looks likely that the oft-injured outfielder is heading to the injured list once again, but the Twins will wait and see what the imaging shows before addressing the situation publicly.
