  • Rangers outright Jared Walsh to Triple-A
    Rangers sent 1B Jared Walsh outright to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: It’s a bit surprising to see the 30-year-old slugger pass through waivers unclaimed, though he hit just .226/.317/.321 with a homer and seven RBI in 60 plate appearances with the Rangers while covering for the injured Nathaniel Lowe. He’ll continue to function as excess depth at Triple-A. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago

  • Miguel Sanó exits with sore left knee on Wednesday
    Miguel Sanó was pulled from Wednesday’s contest against the Orioles due to soreness in his left knee.

    Advice: The 30-year-old slugger has a history of knee issues, so this is very concerning news. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status prior to Friday’s series opener against the Twins, as there’s a chance that he could require a trip to the injured list.

  • On bench for fourth straight game
    Duran is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: After seeing his streak of six consecutive starts come to an end Saturday, Duran has now found himself on the bench for four straight contests. Duran's path to meaningful playing time appears to have come to a close with Josh Smith solidifying himself as Josh Jung's (wrist) primary replacement at third base and with first baseman Nathaniel Lowe having made his return from the injured list over the weekend.

  • Sits again amid slump
    Abreu is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Abreu is on the bench for the second time in three days after an 0-for-3 showing in Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Cubs dropped his season-long slash line to .065/.132/.081 over 68 plate appearances. Though Jon Singleton will pick up another start at Abreu's expense, prospect Joey Loperfido looks to be the longer-term replacement at first base if the Astros elect to move on from the struggling Abreu at any point. An outfielder for most of his minor-league career, Loperfido has made five starts at first base for Triple-A Sugar Land so far this season and has posted a 1.028 OPS over 20 games to put himself on the radar for a promotion.

  • Battling knee soreness
    Sano was removed from Wednesday's game versus Baltimore due to left knee soreness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: It's unclear what exactly caused Sano's knee to start acting up on him, but he was replaced at third base prior to the sixth inning nonetheless. More information on his knee may come after the game, but if his injury is minor, the Angels' off day Thursday could allow the 30-year-old infielder to return without missing any games.

  • Gets maintenance day
    Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Turner's absence from the lineup looks to be nothing more than a routine maintenance day after the 39-year-old had started in each of the Blue Jays' last nine games. Daniel Vogelbach will fill in for Turner as Toronto's designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 2:57 pm
     
  • Hits bench Wednesday
    Rivera is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Rivera will head to the bench after he started in each of the past six games at either corner-infield spot while going 5-for-19 with an RBI and a run. Josh Bell will draw the start at first base, while Vidal Brujan covers third base in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 2:40 pm
     
  • Nolan Jones (back) remains out of Rockies lineup
    Nolan Jones (back) remains out of the Rockies’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s battle against the Padres.

    Advice: The 25-year-old outfielder was pulled from Tuesday’s contest due to stiffness in his back. He’s considered day-to-day. Jake Cave will start in his place in left field and bat eighth against Padres’ knuckleballer Matt Waldron. Rotoworld Today, 2:27 pm

  • Held out with back injury
    Jones (back) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Padres.

    Advice: Jones was removed from Tuesday's 7-4 win with back stiffness. The injury seems to be a day-to-day concern, but with a day game on tap for Thursday's series finale ahead of an off day Friday, Jones might not be back in action until Saturday against the Astros. Jake Cave will make a start in left field Wednesday in Jones' stead. Rotowire.com Today, 2:03 pm
