  • Losing out on playing time
    Cabbage is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Cabbage and Chas McCormick had been sharing time in right field as of last week while Kyle Tucker (shin) remains on the injured list, but Cabbage seems to have fallen out of favor in the wake of Joey Loperfido's promotion from Triple-A Sugar Landon Friday. With Loperfido presenting Houston with another lefty-hitting option in the outfield, Cabbage now finds himself on the bench for a fourth straight game. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • Day off Wednesday
    O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Athletics.

    Advice: O'Hoppe had started each of the previous 11 games -- including 10 of them at catcher -- so the Angels have determined it was time to give him a breather. Matt Thaiss will be behind the plate for the Halos in Wednesday's series finale. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Getting day off
    Dubon is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Dubon will get the afternoon off after he had started in each of Houston's last 15 games. Though he's served mostly as a utility player during that stretch, Dubon appears to have found a home of late at first base, where he made each of his last three starts. Jon Singleton will step in for Dubon on Wednesday. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Grounds out in return to action
    Sano went 0-for-1 against Oakland in a 7-5 victory Tuesday.

    Advice: Sano was activated from the injured list Tuesday after missing 50 games with left knee inflammation. He entered as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning and grounded out to second base. Sano seems likely to return to the role he held prior to the injury, logging semi-regular at-bats while playing at first base and third base as well as getting starts as the Angels' designated hitter.

  • Shut down with groin strain
    The Rockies placed Bird on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right groin strain.

    Advice: Bird sustained the injury in his most recent relief appearance in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Nationals and won't be eligible to return from the IL until July 8. The right-hander had recently returned from a month-long stay on the shelf due to elbow inflammation and made just three appearances out of the Colorado bullpen before being shut down again with a new injury.

  • Held out again Wednesday
    Drury (illness) remains out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Athletics.

    Advice: Drury has not played in more than a week due to an upper respiratory virus. The Angels have resisted placed him on the 10-day injured list so far and there's been no indication that their stance has changed in that regard, so consider Drury day-to-day. Luis Rengifo is at second base Wednesday. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

  • Reaches double-digit steals
    Neto went 0-for-2 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Tuesday's 7-5 win against Oakland.

    Advice: Neto was also hit by a pitch in the fourth inning, and he came around to score when the next batter (Mickey Moniak) belted a grand slam. Neto's eighth-inning theft was his 10th of the campaign through 76 contests; as a rookie last year, he stole a modest five bases in 84 games. The shortstop also has 10 homers this season, making him one of 14 big-leaguers to have reached double-digit home runs and stolen bases so far in 2024. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Tyler Black on bench for third straight day
    Tyler Black is on the bench for a third straight game Wednesday against the Rangers.

    Advice: It was expected that Black would sit versus a lefty last night, but two of these three games have been against righties, and the Brewers picked Jake Bauers over him today. Black is 3-for-11 with three walks since being recalled Thursday. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago

  • Could be back sooner than expected
    Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said Wednesday that Williams (back) could return from the 60-day injured list sooner than his initial mid-to-late-July recovery timeline, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Williams was scheduled for a bullpen session Wednesday, which would have marked his first time throwing off a mound since being shut down during spring training with multiple stress fractures in his back. He will need to throw off the bump multiple times and eventually go out on a rehab assignment before being activated. That said, while Williams still has multiple checkpoints to hit in his rehab program, he looks to be in a good spot with his recovery. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
