    • Expected back Friday
      Merrill (groin) is expected to return to the lineup Friday, Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

      Advice: Merrill was scratched Thursday but the issue was deemed precautionary. He spoke to reporters following the Padres' loss and said he feels fine and is adjusting to the rigors of the MLB schedule. While Merrill is expected to return Friday, it will be worth confirming he is in the lineup as San Diego opens a series against the Phillies. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:46 pm
       
    • Nabs another start Sunday
      Elder is slated to start Sunday's game against the Guardians in Atlanta.

      Advice: Elder staged a successful 2024 MLB debut Monday, holding the Marlins scoreless over 6.2 innings while striking out four and allowing nine baserunners in a winning effort. He joined the Atlanta rotation as a replacement for Darius Vines and should have some staying power with the big club due to Spencer Strider (elbow) being out for the season. Elder compiled a 3.81 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 128:63 K:BB across 174.2 innings with Atlanta in 2023. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:44 pm
       
    • Jackson Merrill scratched from Thursday’s lineup
      Jackson Merrill was scratched from the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Rockies due to right groin tightness.

      Advice: The Padres are merely keeping Merrill out of the lineup for Thursday’s series finale for precautionary reasons. Eguy Rosario will start for the Padres on play third base, while Tyler Wade moves to left field and José Azocar goes to center field. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

    • Scratched from lineup Thursday
      Merrill was scratched from the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado due to right groin tightness, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Padres manager Mike Shildt said the move was precautionary and Merrill could have played, so it sounds safe to call the rookie outfielder day-to-day. Jose Azocar will shift over to center field, Tyler Wade will move to left and Eguy Rosario will enter the lineup at third base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:02 pm
       
    • 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 Yesterday, 8:52 am
       
    • Blasts seventh homer
      Ward went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's loss to the Orioles.

      Advice: Ward followed up Mike Trout's solo homer in the bottom of the sixth with a two-run shot of his own just two batters later, bringing the Angels back within three runs of Baltimore. The outfielder now has five homers and 19 RBI in April, though he's gone just 4-for-26 (.153) at the plate over his last seven games. He's also failed to register multiple hits in any game over that stretch. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:42 am
       
    • Swats seventh homer
      Garcia went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run against Seattle in Wednesday's 5-1 victory.

      Advice: Garcia put Texas on the board with a 416-foot solo shot in the fourth inning. It was his third long ball over his past six contests, and he is tied for fourth in the majors with seven homers on the season. Garcia has added 23 RBI, 18 runs, four steals and a .312/.359/.613 slash line. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:32 pm
       
    • Adolis García slugs seventh homer versus Mariners
      Adolis García went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored on Wednesday against the Mariners.

      Advice: García put the Rangers on the board with solo homer off Bryce Miller in the fourth inning, his seventh of the season. He later reached on a groundout and scored on a triple by Evan Carter. The 31-year-old slugger is enjoying an outstanding start to the season, hitting .312/.359/.613 with seven homers, 23 RBI, and four steals across 103 plate appearances.

    • Dansby Swanson hits first homer since April 8
      Dansby Swanson slugged a three-run homer on Wednesday, propelling the Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the Astros.

      Advice: Swanson connected for a tone-setting homer off Astros rookie right-hander Spencer Arrighetti as part of Chicago’s four-run opening frame, which wound up being enough offense for Jameson Taillon and a quartet of Cubs relievers. It was his third long ball of the season and first time he’s gone deep since April 8. Rotoworld Wednesday, 7:52 pm
