  • Blue Jays recall Addison Barger from Triple-A
    Blue Jays recalled INF Addison Barger from Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: The 24-year-old is taking the place of the injured Kevin Kiermaier (hip) on the team’s active roster. Barger was off to a terrific start at Triple-A Buffalo, slashing .314/.435/.586 with three homers and 21 RBI through his first 19 games. He’ll add depth and versatility on the Jays’ bench.

  • Miguel Sanó exits with sore left knee on Wednesday
    Miguel Sanó was pulled from Wednesday’s contest against the Orioles due to soreness in his left knee.

    Advice: The 30-year-old slugger has a history of knee issues, so this is very concerning news. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status prior to Friday’s series opener against the Twins, as there’s a chance that he could require a trip to the injured list.

  • Gunnar Henderson homers, doubles versus Angels
    Gunnar Henderson went 3-for-3 with a homer, a double and three RBI in leading the Orioles to a 6-5 win over the Angels on Wednesday.

    Advice: It didn’t seem like anyone really expected Henderson to improve on his terrific rookie campaign this year, but he has in nearly every regard thus far. Boasting some of the game’s best exit velocity numbers, he looks like a legitimate superstar. He’s batting .309/.373/.649 with eight homers through 24 games. Rotoworld Today, 4:18 pm
     
  • On bench for fourth straight game
    Duran is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners.

    Advice: After seeing his streak of six consecutive starts come to an end Saturday, Duran has now found himself on the bench for four straight contests. Duran's path to meaningful playing time appears to have come to a close with Josh Smith solidifying himself as Josh Jung's (wrist) primary replacement at third base and with first baseman Nathaniel Lowe having made his return from the injured list over the weekend.

  • Added to lineup Wednesday
    Toro is starting at second base and batting sixth for Wednesday's outing against the Yankees.

    Advice: The switch-hitting infielder was originally left out of the starting nine for Wednesday's matchup, but he will take the field and make his first start at second base after Zack Gelof (abdomen) was scratched. Toro currently has a .232/.293/.377 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI and eight runs through 21 games. Rotowire.com Today, 3:49 pm
     
  • Battling knee soreness
    Sano was removed from Wednesday's game versus Baltimore due to left knee soreness, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: It's unclear what exactly caused Sano's knee to start acting up on him, but he was replaced at third base prior to the sixth inning nonetheless. More information on his knee may come after the game, but if his injury is minor, the Angels' off day Thursday could allow the 30-year-old infielder to return without missing any games.

  • Sits Wednesday
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Lopez will get a breather after starting each of the last nine games, with the last four coming as the White Sox's leadoff hitter. Danny Mendick will replace Lopez at the keystone and set the table for Chicago on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:10 pm

  • Gets maintenance day
    Turner is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Turner's absence from the lineup looks to be nothing more than a routine maintenance day after the 39-year-old had started in each of the Blue Jays' last nine games. Daniel Vogelbach will fill in for Turner as Toronto's designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 2:57 pm
     
  • Gets Wednesday off
    Kiner-Falefa is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Kiner-Falefa will head to the bench Wednesday after reaching base four times while making a pair of starts at third base in the first two games of the series. Ernie Clement will spell Kiner-Falefa at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 2:55 pm
