    • Held out again Friday
      Candelario (illness) remains out of the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Angels.

      Advice: There's a bug going around the Reds' clubhouse, as Christian Encarnacion-Strand will also miss a second straight game. Consider Candelario day-to-day. Santiago Espinal will be at third base Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:11 am

    • Gabriel Moreno returns to lineup on Thursday
      Gabriel Moreno (thumb) has returned to the lineup for Thursday’s series opener against the Giants.

      Advice: Moreno returns to Arizona’s lineup for Thursday’s series opener following a brief two-game absence due to a right thumb contusion that he suffered earlier this week when he attempted to block a wild pitch with his bare hand. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:51 pm
       
    • In Thursday's lineup
      Moreno (thumb) will start at catcher and bat sixth in Thursday's game against the Giants.

      Advice: Moreno hadn't started either of the Diamondbacks' previous two games due to a bruised right thumb, but he had been included in the initial lineup Wednesday before being scratched. He ended up appearing as a pinch hitter in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Cubs, and he now looks like he'll be ready to not only hit but also play defense in Thursday's series opener.

    • Enters as pinch hitter
      Moreno (thumb) entered Wednesday's game in the ninth inning as a pinch hitter and went 0-for-1 in a 5-3 loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: Moreno was scratched from the lineup the last two games due to the injury. That he pinch hit for his replacement, Tucker Barnhart, and could have entered the game had Arizona tied it up in the ninth, suggests manager Torey Lovullo was comfortable with the thought of Moreno catching. He could rejoin the starting nine Thursday in San Francisco. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:04 am
       
    • Blasts third home run
      Carpenter went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Rangers.

      Advice: Carpenter has been playing well lately, recording a .321 batting average and four extra-base hits across his last 10 games. While he generally sits against southpaws, Carpenter feasts on righties, and that should allow him to remain a solid fantasy asset moving forward. The 26-year-old broke out last year with 20 home runs, 64 RBI and an .811 OPS, and he could surpass all of those numbers in 2024. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:41 pm
       
    • Edouard Julien goes 0-for-4, fans three times
      Edouard Julien went 0-for-4 and struck out three times against the Orioles on Wednesday.

      Advice: Julien’s patience at the plate is getting in the way right now. Considering that he’s not someone who swings and misses a lot, it’s absurd that he’s striking out 38 percent of the time. He also walking only about two thirds as often as he did last year. (10.9% vs. 15.7%) That he has four homers means he hasn’t quite been a bust to date, but a .175/.266/.421 line isn’t what the Twins want from him. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:20 pm

    • Gets first day off of season
      Crawford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: The Mariners are wrapping up their series against Cincinnati with a day game after a night game and a lefty (Andrew Abbott) is on the hill for the Reds, so Seattle skipper Scott Servais likely felt that it was an opportune time to give the lefty-hitting Crawford a day off. Crawford will cede shortstop to Dylan Moore while Julio Rodriguez replaces Crawford atop the batting order. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:31 pm

    • Not ready to start Wednesday
      Candelario (illness) remains out of the lineup Wednesday in Seattle.

      Advice: He'll give way to Santiago Espinal at third base for a second game in a row while he recovers from an illness. The Reds are off Thursday, so Candelario will have some additional time to shake off the ailment before Cincinnati opens its homestand Friday versus the Angels. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:25 pm

    • Scratched from lineup again
      Moreno (thumb) was scratched from the Diamondbacks' lineup ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Cubs, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

      Advice: Moreno had been slated to rejoin the lineup after not starting in Tuesday's 12-11 extra-inning win due to a right thumb contusion, but he's been scratched for the second day in a row. He entered Tuesday's contest as a defensive replacement, but evidently swinging a bat still remains an issue. Consider the catcher day-to-day for the time being. Tucker Barnhart will once again fill in behind the plate. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:58 am
