  • Officially recalled
    The Nationals recalled Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester on Wednesday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Lipscomb is taking the roster spot vacated by the injured Lane Thomas (knee). He posted a .563 OPS with one home run and four stolen bases over 14 games with the Nationals earlier this month and could get some reps at third base if the club wants to use Senzel in the outfield as a fill-in for Thomas.

  • Hits IL with MCL sprain
    The Nationals placed Thomas on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with an MCL sprain of his left knee.

    Advice: Thomas sustained the injury in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers and will be eligible for activation May 4, but given the nature of the knee issue, he'll likely need more than the minimum 10 days to make a full recovery. The Nationals called up infielder Trey Lipscomb from Triple-A Rochester in a corresponding move, and he could end up garnering regular starts at third base and serving as Thomas' de facto replacement if Washington is willing to move Nick Senzel off the hot corner and deploys him in the outfield or at designated hitter more frequently. After a breakout 2023 campaign in which he hit .268 with 28 home runs and 20 stolen bases, Thomas had slumped out of the gate with a .184/.250/.253 slash line with two home runs in 22 games, though he remained active on the basepaths (11 steals in 12 attempts).

  • Out against left-hander
    Kjerstad is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: The left-handed-hitting Kjerstad started versus a right-hander Tuesday in his first game following a promotion from Triple-A Norfolk, but he'll take a seat Wednesday against southpaw Tyler Anderson. Colton Cowser and Anthony Santander will handle the corner-outfield spots for the Orioles and Adley Rutschman will serve as the Orioles' designated hitter while Kjerstad and fellow lefty hitter Ryan O'Hearn head to the bench.

  • Takes seat versus lefty
    O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting O'Hearn will retreat to the bench while southpaw Tyler Anderson toes the rubber for the Angels. O'Hearn's absence clears up the designated-hitter spot for Adley Rutschman, allowing Rutschman to get a day out of the field while James McCann handles catching duties for Baltimore.

  • Benched against lefty
    Holliday is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Holliday will take a seat for the second time in three days while the Angels bring another southpaw (Tyler Anderson) to the hill for the series finale. Jorge Mateo will check in at second base in place of Holliday, who is off to a 2-for-34 start to his big-league career since receiving a promotion from Triple-A Norfolk on April 10.

  • Returns to lineup Wednesday
    Mountcastle (knee) will start at first base and bat third in Wednesday's game versus the Angels.

    Advice: Mountcastle missed two games with some knee soreness but is feeling well enough to give it a go Wednesday against left-hander Tyler Anderson. The 27-year-old is sporting a .333/.395/.507 batting line with two home runs over 20 contests this season. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting against southpaw
    Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: As per usual, the lefty-hitting Wade finds himself on the bench while the Giants face off against a left-handed starting pitcher (Sean Manaea) in the series finale. Wilmer Flores will replace Wade at first base and as the Giants' No. 2 batter. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Takes seat for series finale
    Lee is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Lee is one of multiple lefty-hitting regulars for the Giants who will take a seat Wednesday as the Mets send left-hander Sean Manaea to the hill for the series finale. Austin Slater steps into Lee's usual spot atop the batting order, while the Giants will roll out an outfield featuring Michael Conforto, Tyler Fitzgerald and Slater from left to right.

  • Sits against lefty Wednesday
    Yastrzemski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: With left-hander Sean Manaea on the hill for the Mets, the lefty-hitting Yastrzemski will get a breather in the series finale. Yastrzemski starred in Tuesday's 5-1 win, going 2-for-3 with a run scored while delivered a two-run single in the fifth inning and plating another run with a single in the seventh.
