  • Joey Ortiz leading off again Tuesday vs. Phillies
    Joey Ortiz is leading off on Tuesday against the Phillies.

    Advice: Ortiz has been bumped up to the top spot in Milwaukee’s lineup on several occasions over the last few weeks as his breakthrough campaign continues. The 25-year-old rookie infielder is batting .302 (29-for-96) with four homers and two steals over his last 30 games. Perhaps more impressive is the fact that he’s walked more times (16) than he’s struck out (15) during that span. Rotoworld Today, 1:26 pm

  • Won't face lefty
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Lopez will dodge a matchup with southpaw Shota Imanaga on Tuesday. Danny Mendick will fill in at second base and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 1:10 pm

  • Loses 40-man roster spot
    The White Sox designated Remillard for assignment Tuesday.

    Advice: The move frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Duke Ellis. It's the third time since January that Remillard has been designated for assignment. He cleared waivers and stuck around the other two times and will probably do so again. Rotowire.com Today, 12:57 pm

  • Zach Remillard gets boot from 40-man roster
    White Sox designated INF Zach Remillard for assignment.

    Advice: Remillard is removed from the active and 40-man rosters with Duke Ellis having his contract selected from Double-A Montgomery. Assuming Remillard goes unclaimed, he will likely report back to Triple-A Charlotte as a depth piece. Rotoworld Today, 12:39 pm

  • Starts at first base, bats third
    Miranda will start at first base and bat third in Tuesday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: Miranda has been the Twins' primary third baseman for the last few weeks, but that position will be unavailable most days now with Royce Lewis back from the injured list. However, it would appear to be a good sign for Miranda that he remains in the lineup in a prominent spot with Lewis back in the fold. Miranda has an .883 OPS with four home runs over his last 50 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:27 pm
     
  • Removed from 40-man roster
    The Mariners removed Urias from the 40-man roster and outrighted him to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

    Advice: The 27-year-old was optioned to Tacoma in late May and has now lost his place on the 40-man roster to make room for the signing of Victor Robles. Urias struggled in 34 games for the Mariners, posting a .152/.264/.316 slash line and 34.1 percent strikeout rate in 91 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 11:20 am

  • Mariners send Luis Urías outright to Triple-A
    Mariners sent INF Luis Urías outright to Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: Urías, 27, is now off the 40-man roster. The Mariners used that room to clear a spot for Victor Robles, with Robles signed to a one-year deal following his release from the Nationals. Assuming Urías accepts the assignment, he’ll remain with the Rainiers and provide organizational depth. Rotoworld Today, 11:14 am

  • Records sixth steal
    Westburg went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Westburg has hit safely in his last eight games, going 12-for-31 (.387) in that span. The steal was his first since May 11 and his sixth on nine attempts this season. It's unlikely Westburg will be negatively impacted by the Orioles' promotion of Connor Norby to replace Jorge Mateo (concussion) on the 26-man roster -- Westburg should continue to see near-everyday playing time between third base and second base. The 25-year-old is slashing .292/.348/.510 with nine home runs, 36 RBI and 30 runs scored over 222 plate appearances as he enjoys a breakout in his second major-league campaign.

  • Hits third homer
    Urias hit a solo home run in his lone at-bat in Monday's 7-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Urias started the game on the bench but entered in the seventh inning as a defensive replacement. While he hasn't seen steady playing time, Urias is 6-for-10 with two homers over his last five contests. With Jorge Mateo (concussion) on the injured list, it's likely to be Connor Norby in the lineup regularly, but Urias could feature more frequently off the bench due to his strong defense and versatility. Urias is slashing .239/.289/.394 with three homers, six RBI and 12 runs scored over 76 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 9:58 am
