  • Positive strides in bullpen session
    Mets president of baseball operations David Stearns said in an interview on SNY on Thursday that Senga (shoulder) recently had "a good bullpen" session where he was "making some strides."

    Advice: Senga had to pull back on facing hitters while he dealt with mechanical issues, but it sounds like he and the Mets were happy with how his last throwing session went. Stearns said he wasn't sure exactly when Senga would be ready to begin a rehab assignment, but it sounds like it could be relatively soon. The right-hander is coming back from a right posterior shoulder capsule strain. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Remains out Thursday
    Hoerner (hamstring) isn't in the Cubs' lineup for Thursday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Hoerner was scratched from the lineup before Tuesday's game versus Atlanta due to tightness in his left hamstring, and it will now keep him from playing for the third game in a row. Nick Madrigal will cover second base Thursday while Miles Mastrobuoni starts at shortstop. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

  • Nico Hoerner (hamstring) out Thursday vs. Pirates
    Nico Hoerner (hamstring) remains absent from the lineup for Thursday’s series opener against the Pirates.

    Advice: Hoerner will miss his third consecutive contest due to left hamstring tightness, but there’s been zero indication that he’s in jeopardy of requiring a trip to the injured list. There should be some clarity on his status at some point in the coming days, but fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago

  • Out of lineup again Thursday
    DeLuca is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Boston.

    Advice: It marks the third time in four games that DeLuca will be on the bench. This is after he had started the previous nine contests in a row. The recent returns of Josh Lowe and Jonathan Aranda have impacted DeLuca's playing time, and the Rays also could be re-committing to Jose Siri in handing him five starts across the last six tilts.

  • Bryce Harper in Phillies lineup on Thursday
    Bryce Harper is at first base and batting third on Thursday against the Mets.

    Advice: Harper was back in Philadelphia’s lineup on Wednesday following a one-game absence due to a migraine. It doesn’t sound like a concern at all moving forward. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
     
  • Trea Turner (hamstring) progressing rapidly
    Trea Turner (hamstring) went through agility drills on Thursday at Citizens Bank Park.

    Advice: Turner has goen through a full workout, which also includes hitting and fielding grounders, on back-to-back days, which is notable since he’s just under two weeks removed from suffering a left hamstring strain. The 30-year-old shortstop was originally expected to miss six weeks, but it sounds like he’s going to beat that original estimate by a considerable margin, which is good news for the Phillies and fantasy managers.

  • Absent from lineup
    Nevin is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest in Houston.

    Advice: Nevin's production has cratered in May (3-for-39) and with that his playing time has also slipped. He's now started just half of the Athletics' last 10 games, and the last time he was in the lineup versus a right-hander he was down in the No. 8 spot. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago

  • Brandon Nimmo scratched from Thursday’s lineup
    Brandon Nimmo has been scratched from the lineup for Thursday’s showdown against the Phillies due to illness.

    Advice: Nimmo is dealing with a stomach bug, which will keep him out for at least Thursday’s contest. It’ll be Tyrone Taylor moving up to the leadoff spot and DJ Stewart taking over in left field. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat Thursday
    Langeliers is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Houston.

    Advice: It's a routine day off for Langeliers after he started each of the last four days behind the plate. Kyle McCann will do the catching for Joey Estes on Thursday. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
