    • Mashes homer No. 10
      De La Cruz went 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's loss to the Rays.

      Advice: He got the Marlins on the board with a solo shot off Ryan Pepiot in the first inning before adding an RBI fielder's choice in the seventh. De La Cruz snapped a 14-game power drought with the performance, a stretch in which he'd hit just .226 (12-for-53) with one RBI. On the season, the 27-year-old is slashing .248/.304/.412 with 10 homers, 27 RBI and 28 runs in 60 contests. Rotowire.com 1 minute ago
       
    • Hitting bench against lefty again
      McNeil is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The Mets have opposed left-handed starting pitchers in three straight games, and the lefty-hitting McNeil has been on the bench for each of those contests. McNeil hasn't been a strict platoon player for much of his tenure with the Mets, but manager Carlos Mendoza has chosen to limit the 32-year-old's exposure to southpaws while he's mustered a modest .275 wOBA over 69 plate appearances against lefties on the season. McNeil hasn't fared much better against right-handed pitching either (.281 wOBA in 155 plate appearances), but the Mets haven't offered any indication that he's at risk of losing out on starts in those matchups.

    • Sitting after three straight starts
      Goodman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: With Kris Bryant day-to-day with a back injury, playing time has opened up of late for Goodman, but the latter hasn't been able to take advantage of the opportunity. While starting in each of the last three games, Goodman went 0-for-9 with three strikeouts and will now move to the bench for Wednesday's series finale even though Bryant remains out of the lineup.

    • Stuck with loss Tuesday
      Cabrera (2-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Orioles, getting charged with three runs on a hit and a walk over two-thirds of an inning.

      Advice: Trevor Richards gave Toronto two perfect innings as the opener, but Cabrera hit Colton Cowser with a pitch to begin the third and things went downhill from there. Cabrera has been tagged for runs in three of his last six appearances, and on the season he carries a 5.48 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 13:15 K:BB through 23 innings as he slips into a low-leverage role.

    • Remains on bench Wednesday
      Bryant (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: Bryant will hit the bench for a third game in a row while he continues to manage a sore back. Jacob Stallings will pick up a start behind the dish in the series finale versus Cincinnati while top backstop Elias Diaz fills Bryant's usual spot at designated hitter. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

    • Swats sixth homer
      Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

      Advice: The veteran shortstop took Chase Anderson deep in the seventh inning, giving Atlanta an insurance run in an 8-3 victory. It was only Arcia's third multi-hit performance in his last 24 games, and while he's far from the biggest name to post disappointing numbers so far for the reigning NL East champs, on the season he's slashing .235/.257/.385 with six homers and 21 RBI in 58 contests.

    • Red Sox may push back Kutter Crawford’s start
      The Red Sox are looking at going with a bullpen game on Sunday and pushing Kutter Crawford’s next start back to Tuesday.

      Advice: Bad news for those hoping Crawford would bounce back against the White Sox. He’ll instead face the Phillies if the Red Sox follow through on this, though at least he’d be doing so on six days’ rest instead of four. The Red Sox are off Monday, which makes the bullpen game a little more feasible. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
       
    • Heads to bench in O'Neill's return
      Cooper is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Cooper served as Boston's designated hitter in both of the past two games and went 0-for-8 with four strikeouts. He'll cede DH duties to Rob Refsnyder on Wednesday, and with Tyler O'Neill (knee) returning from the 10-day injured list one day after Wilyer Abreu (ankle) was deactivated, Boston will likely have room in the lineup against right-handed pitching for only one of Refsnyder and Cooper moving forward. Refsnyder has performed far better than Cooper so far this season, so it wouldn't be surprising if Boston opted to make the former a greater priority in the lineup.

    • Not in Wednesday's lineup
      Carpenter is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Houston.

      Advice: Carpenter has been seeing regular playing time at designated hitter against right-handers since Lars Nootbaar (oblique) went down, pushing Alec Burleson to the outfield. However, he'll begin Wednesday's game on the bench, as Ivan Herrera will be in the DH slot versus righty Ronel Blanco. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
