    • Twins place Royce Lewis (groin) on 10-day IL
      Twins placed INF Royce Lewis on the 10-day injured list with a right adductor strain.

      Advice: Unfortunately, the 25-year-old superstar heads back to the injured list where he has spent far too much time over the past three seasons. Twins’ general manager Derek Falvey told reporters on Wednesday that Lewis will be sidelined at least through the All-Star break and will then be re-evaluated. Top prospect Brooks Lee had his contract selected from Triple-A St. Paul in a corresponding move on Wednesday and he should see plenty of action while Lewis is shelved. Rotoworld Today, 1:40 pm

    • Heading to bench Wednesday
      Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Turner started the previous nine games and will receive a day off after going 10-for-27 with two doubles, 11 walks, five RBI and four runs during that stretch. George Springer will serve as the designated hitter while Addison Barger starts in right field. Rotowire.com Today, 12:50 pm

    • Fields grounders Wednesday
      Berti (calf) took grounders on the field at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

      Advice: While no date for a rehab assignment has been set, Berti appears close to being cleared for game action. The veteran utility player has been shelved since late May with a high-grade left calf strain. Rotowire.com Today, 12:22 pm

    • Increase in activity possible
      Toro (hamstring) could begin running the bases at some point before the end of the week, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The infielder is still expected to be sidelined through the All-Star break, but this report represents the first bit of encouraging news regarding Toro's recovery. Toro is dealing with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, so he'll likely need to eventually prove himself in at least a couple of rehab games before being deemed ready for activation.

    • Lone bright spot Tuesday
      Rojas went 2-for-2 in a loss to the Orioles on Tuesday.

      Advice: Rojas' pair of singles were the only hits the Mariners' moribund offense was able to muster against Grayson Rodriguez and a trio of relievers. The veteran infielder has emerged from a recent 0-for-13, four-game skid in solid fashion, going 5-for-13 over the next four contests, albeit with just one extra-base hit (a double) in that span.

    • Plates pair in return
      Harris, recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas earlier in the day, went 1-for-4 with a two-run double and a run in a win over the Angels on Tuesday.

      Advice: The rookie made an instant impact in his first big-league action since May 22, plating Lawrence Butler and Zack Gelof with his sixth-inning two-bagger to extend the Athletics' lead to 6-1. Harris finished the first big-league stint of his career earlier this season in an 0-for-14 funk that included a massive 43.8-percent strikeout rate, so his ability to break the ice at the plate on his first night back was a particularly welcome sight.

    • Swats homer No. 10
      Riley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Giants.

      Advice: The third baseman took Hayden Birdsong deep in the second inning to open the scoring on the night. Riley's bat has woken up in a big way over the last few weeks -- since June 14, he's slashing .356/.441/.780 in 68 plate appearances with seven of his 10 homers on the year and 12 of his 32 RBI.

    • On base four times in win
      Donovan went 3-for-4 with a walk, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Pirates.

      Advice: Donovan had just six hitless games in June -- two of which were at the start of the month and two more at the end. He got off to a positive start in July with Tuesday's effort, his third three-hit game over his last 11 contests. He's up to a .270/.340/.414 slash line with eight home runs, 42 RBI, 37 runs scored, two stolen bases, 18 doubles and one triple over 79 games. Donovan's hit well enough to have a near-everyday role in left field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:51 pm
