  • Getting fifth straight start
    Loperfido will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Loperfido will stick in the starting nine for a fifth straight game after going 4-for-13 with two doubles, one walk, two RBI, one stolen base and one run through his first four games since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Sugar Land. Houston has room in its everyday outfield for both Loperfido and Chas McCormick for the moment, but one of the two will likely lose out on playing time once Kyle Tucker (shin) makes his return from the 10-day injured list, perhaps as soon as next week.

  • Not in starting nine
    Adell is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest versus the Athletics.

    Advice: It looks to be a routine day off after Adell had started the last four games and 12 of the previous 13 contests. Kevin Pillar will patrol right field for the Angels on Wednesday. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Idle Wednesday
    McCormick is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: After starting each of the last three games, McCormick will be the odd man out of the Astros outfield on Wednesday with Houston clearing a spot in left field for Yordan Alvarez, who typically serves as the team's designated hitter. McCormick could be forced to the bench on a more frequent basis once Kyle Tucker (shin) returns from the injured list, though it's not yet clear when Tucker might rejoin the big club while he rehab program has proceeded more slowly than anticipated.

  • 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 16 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 18 minutes ago

  • Regaining playing time
    Bauers will start at first base and bat fifth in Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Bauers will be included in the lineup for the second game in a row and for the third time in four games after producing three hits over his prior two starts. The 29-year-old is still getting on base at a lowly .279 clip for the season, so despite seeing his playing time trend upward of late, he's hardly locked into an everyday role for Milwaukee.

  • Back on bench after three starts
    Perkins is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Perkins had started in center field in each of the last three games, but he'll retreat to the bench Wednesday and still looks to be viewed as the team's fourth outfielder. Christian Yelich, Sal Frelick and Jackson Chourio will form the Milwaukee outfield from left to right Wednesday and look to be manager Pat Murphy's preferred trio against right-handed pitching.

  • Brewers call up C Eric Haase from Triple-A
    Brewers selected the contract of C Eric Haase from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Haase will be making his season debut after hitting .279/.367/.503 in 41 games in Triple-A. The veteran was originally signed by the Brewers to serve as William Contreras’s backup, but he lost the gig when Gary Sánchez came on board this spring. He’ll place the ailing Sánchez for at least the next eight days. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago

  • Gets call to majors
    The Brewers selected Haase's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Haase will serve as the Brewers' backup at catcher to William Contreras while Gary Sanchez (calf) is on the 10-day injured list and could see occasional starts at designated hitter versus left-handed pitching. The 31-year-old has an .870 OPS with nine home runs in 165 plate appearances at Nashville this season. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
