  • 50-33-7 2nd Place
    • Receiving rare day off
      Doyle is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: Doyle will exit the starting nine for the first time since May 19 and just the third time all season, opening up center field for Jake Cave. The Rockies are likely just giving Doyle a breather for a day game after a night game while he's in the midst of a minor slump at the plate. Over his last five starts, Doyle has gone 3-for-15 with four strikeouts against two walks. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:14 am
       
    • Red Sox activate Tyler O’Neill, start him in RF
      Red Sox activated OF Tyler O’Neill from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: O’Neill, who missed 10 games with a knee injury, is starting in right field and batting fifth against the Braves today. Red Sox manager Alex Cora also said he’d do a fair amount of DHing, with Rob Refsnyder playing right, in the short term. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:41 am
       
    • Batting fifth in return from IL
      The Red Sox reinstated O'Neill (knee) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday. He'll start in right field and bat fifth in Wednesday's series finale with Atlanta, according to Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald.

      Advice: He'll be back in action after spending the minimum 10 days on the shelf with right knee inflammation. Prior to being deactivated, O'Neill had been making most of his starts in left field or at designated hitter, but he could see regular action in right field for the foreseeable future after Wilyer Abreu (ankle) was placed on the IL on Tuesday.

    • Will be activated Wednesday
      Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow confirmed that O'Neill (knee) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: O'Neill was hitless in a rehab game with Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, but more importantly, he came out of the contest with no concerns about his right knee, clearing the way for his return from the IL. The 28-year-old spent the minimum 10 days on the IL. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:03 am
       
    • Gets three ABs in rehab start
      O'Neill (knee) served as the designated hitter and went 0-for-3 while on rehab assignment for Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday.

      Advice: O'Neill kicked off a rehab assignment and played six innings as the DH for the WooSox. The Red Sox are optimistic he'll need only the minimum 10 days while on the injured list. Wednesday represents O'Neill's earliest possible return. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:58 am
       
    • Makes impact in return
      Robert (hip) went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: Robert's blast gave the White Sox a lead in the seventh inning, but they couldn't make it stick. This was his first game in nearly two months after the oft-injured outfielder was sidelined by a Grade 2 hip flexor strain in early April. Despite the absence, he's already at three homers through eight games this season. Robert has the potential to make a noticeable impact in fantasy, but his managers will need to be mindful to check for his presence in the lineup, as he's not expected to be a full-time option immediately after such a lengthy absence. Given his injury history, it's likely wise for the White Sox to make sure he gets regular rest, though some of those days could see his bat stay in the lineup as the designated hitter if he's hitting too well to fully sit.

    • Luis Robert Jr. notches two hits, homers in return
      Luis Robert Jr. went 2-for-4 with a home run in Tuesday’s loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: After watching his team’s bullpen give away a 5-1 lead in the sixth inning, Robert smacked a 463-foot homer to left-center to put the White Sox back on top 6-5. It was the third home run of the season for Robert, who was activated off the 10-day injured list earlier in the day after missing almost two months with a hip injury. Robert is slashing .250/.273/.594 in just 32 at-bats this season and has five RBI and a stolen base to go with his three homers. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:22 pm
       
    • Cora: Tyler O’Neill (knee) to return on Wednesday
      Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters Tyler O’Neill (knee) will return on Wednesday.

      Advice: O’Neill went 0-for-3 on Tuesday in a minor league rehab contest for Triple-A Worcester and will rejoin the Red Sox for Wednesday’s showdown against the Braves at Fenway Park. The 28-year-old slugger has been out since late May due to right knee inflammation. Rotoworld Tuesday, 6:53 pm
       
    • Officially activated from IL
      The White Sox activated Robert (hip) from the 10-day injured list Tuesday.

      Advice: Robert wound up missing more than two months of action with a Grade 2 right hip flexor strain. The center fielder went just 3-for-27 during eight rehab games, although two of those hits were home runs. Robert is not expected to be an everyday player right out of the chute upon his activation, as he will have some extra off days mixed in as he eases back into things. He is, however, in Tuesday's lineup versus the Cubs, batting third and playing center field. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:42 pm
