  • Gets rest Thursday

  • Sent back to minors
    The Nationals optioned Millas to Triple-A Rochester on Thursday.

    Advice: Washington no longer had a need for Millas as a backup catcher after the team reinstated Keibert Ruiz (illness) from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. During his week-and-a-half-long stint with the Nationals, Millas appeared in two games and went 1-for-6 with a stolen base. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
     
  • Returns from IL
    The Nationals reinstated Ruiz (illness) from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Ruiz missed the Nationals' last 11 games while recovering from a case of influenza. He checked out fine after making two rehab appearances with Double-A Harrisburg earlier this week and should settle back in as the Nationals' No. 1 catcher now that he's been activated from the IL. Washington optioned catcher Drew Millas to Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Nationals option Drew Millas to Triple-A
    Nationals optioned C Drew Millas to Triple-A Rochester.

    Advice: Millas will head back to the minors after the team activated Keibert Ruiz. Millas appeared in two games while he was up with the Nationals and went 1-for-6 with a stolen base. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
     
  • Nationals activate Keibert Ruiz from 10-day IL
    Nationals activated C Keibert Ruiz (illness) from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The 25-year-old backstop returns to Washington after he was sidelined with the flu. Ruiz has struggled to start the season slashing .194/.265/.290, but he’s keep his strikeout rate low (15%) so fantasy managers could expect some positive regression coming his way.

  • Resting Thursday
    Heim is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Heim looks to be receiving some routine maintenance as the Rangers and Mariners wrap up their series with a day game after a night game. Andrew Knizner will get the starting nod behind the plate. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
     
  • Gets rest after big game
    Wong is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

    Advice: Wong will get a breather for the day game after he powered the Red Sox to an 8-0 win Wednesday by going 4-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI while also reaching base on a hit by pitch. Reese McGuire will get the nod behind the plate Thursday, but the hot-hitting Wong appears to have clearly supplanted him as the Red Sox's preferred option at catcher.

  • Poaching starts from Henry Davis
    Bart will start at catcher and bat cleanup Thursday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Bart has been included in the lineup in four of the past six games and appears to have surpassed Henry Davis on the depth chart at catcher. The eventual return of Yasmani Grandal (foot) from the 10-day injured list could cost Bart some playing time, but for now, the 27-year-old should garner the lion's share of starts behind the dish while he's swinging a hot bat. Bart heads into Thursday's game with a 1.119 OPS over 23 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com Today, 8:11 am
