    • Getting day off versus lefty
      Lux is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Lux will sit for the second time in the four-game series while the Rockies send another southpaw (Ty Blach) to the bump. Chris Taylor will fill in for Lux at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 9:37 am

    • Begins hitting progression
      Hernaiz (ankle) has begun a hitting progression, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Hernaiz was able to shed his walking boot in the first half of June, and he's now graduated to baseball work from the strength and fitness program. The infielder will likely progress to full baseball activities after the hitting progression before eventually embarking on what could be a fairly robust rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Today, 9:34 am

    • Full game at DH
      Polanco (hamstring) took a full game's worth of plate appearances as the designated hitter in Triple-A Tacoma's win over Las Vegas on Wednesday, going 1-for-4 with a walk and a run.

      Advice: Polanco's ability to play in back-to-back games for the second time in his rehab assignment appears to bode well for his chances of imminent activation. The veteran infielder already logged seven innings on defense Tuesday, so there may be nothing left to prove for Polanco in terms of the fitness of his previously ailing hamstring.

    • Miguel Vargas starting against lefty
      Miguel Vargas is starting in left field and batting seventh for the Dodgers on Thursday.

      Advice: With the Dodgers facing left-hander Ty Blach, it will be Vargas in left field with Jason Heyward getting the day off. Vargas has some intriguing plate discipline and power growth this season in the minors, but the Dodgers seem unlikely to play him against right-handed pitching, which will limit his fantasy value in redraft leagues.

    • Reaches three times in win
      Schuemann went 0-for-2 with three walks and a run in a win over the Royals on Wednesday.

      Advice: Schuemann's busy night on the basepaths surprisingly led to only one run, but it did push his OBP back up to an improving .318. The rookie has hit safely in three of the last four games, and his walk rate has now hit double digits (10.1 percent) after also sitting at that threshold in each of the last six minor-league stops before his promotion.

    • Sitting out Thursday
      Palacios is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Minnesota, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Palacios typically starts against right-handers, but he'll end up sitting against a righty (Simeon Woods Richardson) for the second time in three contests. The 27-year-old has gone just 4-for-35 at the plate so far in June. Rotowire.com Today, 8:15 am
       
    • Out of Thursday's lineup
      Walls is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest in Minnesota, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Walls started six of eight games at shortstop after returning from the injured list June 7 but has now been in the lineup just once over the last five tilts, though he was battling an illness for some of that time. Jose Caballero will cover shortstop Thursday in Walls' stead. Rotowire.com Today, 8:11 am

    • Austin Martin starting again for Twins
      Austin Martin is starting at second base for the Twins on Thursday with Willi Castro on the bench.

      Advice: Martin has now started four straight games and five of six since being promoted from Triple-A. Martin is 7-for-15 in those five games with four runs, two RBI, and a steal. If the Twins continue to move him all over the field and keep him in the starting lineup then Martin could produce enough value to be rostered in deeper formats. Kyle Farmer will play up the middle with Martin at shortstop with Carlos Correa getting a day off. Rotoworld Today, 8:01 am

    • Sitting against southpaw
      Rojas is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Guardians.

      Advice: With lefty Logan Allen on the hill for Cleveland, Rojas and fellow left-handed-hitting regulars Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley will retreat to the bench. Dylan Moore will move over from his usual spot at second base to cover the hot corner in Rojas' stead. Rotowire.com Today, 7:53 am
