    • Zac Gallen (hamstring) to throw sim game next week
      Zac Gallen (hamstring) is scheduled to throw another simulated game early next week.

      Advice: The hope here is that Gallen will be ready to be activated, without requiring a minor league rehab assignment, after next week’s simulated game. The 28-year-old righty has been on the shelf since late May after suffering a Grade 1 right hamstring strain. Rotoworld Today, 5:46 pm

      Bobby Witt Jr. went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Athletics on Thursday.

      Advice: The home run was Witt Jr.'s 12th of the year. He hit a solo shot in the eighth inning to give the Royals a 3-2 lead. One of the best players in all of fantasy, Witt Jr.'s hitting .322 with a .921 OPS with 53 RBI this year. Rotoworld Today, 3:57 pm
       
    • Sitting Thursday
      Chourio isn't in the Brewers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

      Advice: Chourio will take a seat Thursday after going 4-for-16 with five RBI and two runs scored over his last five games. While he sits, Christian Yelich, Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick will start in the outfield with Rhys Hoskins in as the DH, opening up first base for Tyler Black. Rotowire.com Today, 3:55 pm
       
    • Nolan Arenado (elbow) not in Thursday’s lineup
      Nolan Arenado (elbow) is not in the lineup for Thursday’s showdown against the Giants.



      Advice: As expected, Arenado is sitting out Thursday’s series opener against the Giants after X-rays came back negative on is left elbow after being hit by a pitch during Wednesday’s game against the Marlins. He had previously said he hoped to return by Saturday, so the Cardinals will continue to give him a couple of days off. Brandon Crawford will start at third base on Thursday and bat seventh.

    • Sitting as expected
      Arenado (elbow) isn't in the starting lineup Thursday against the Giants, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Arenado said Wednesday that he's aiming to return to the Cardinals' lineup Saturday, so his absence from Thursday's starting nine hardly comes as a surprise. Brandon Crawford will get the nod at the hot corner and bat seventh while Arenado continues to recover. Rotowire.com Today, 11:49 am
       
    • Jordan Westburg returns to lineup on Thursday
      Jordan Westburg (hip) is back in the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Yankees.

      Advice: Westburg missed Wednesday’s game after he was removed from Tuesday’s game following being hit by a pitch. The Orioles had previously said he was day-to-day and that proved true as he’s back at second base and hitting sixth on Thursday. Ramon Urias will play third base as Jorge Mateo heads to the bench.

    • Back in action Thursday
      Westburg (hip) will start at second base and bat sixth in Thursday's game versus the Yankees.

      Advice: Westburg had to depart Tuesday's contest with a bruised left hip and then didn't play Wednesday, but he's back in there for Thursday's rubber match. With Westburg handling second base, Ramon Urias will be at the hot corner. Rotowire.com Today, 11:40 am
       
    • Another sim game coming next week
      Gallen (hamstring) is scheduled to throw another simulated game early next week and could be reinstated from the 15-day injured list shortly thereafter, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

      Advice: After tossing 31- and 37-pitch bullpen sessions last week, Gallen advanced to facing hitters in a simulated game Tuesday. Gallen's strained right hamstring apparently responded well to the workout, but the Diamondbacks will still have him toss another sim game during the upcoming week before signing off on his return to the rotation. If all goes well during his second sim game, Gallen could return at some point during the Diamondbacks' series in Oakland next weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 8:20 am
       
    • Clubs grand slam in loss
      Soler went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Wednesday's 6-5 loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: With his team down 6-1 in the eighth inning, Soler took Tyson Miller deep to make things interesting, but the Giants couldn't tie it up late. The veteran slugger has found a groove in June, slashing .298/.403/.526 through 16 games this month with three of his nine homers and 10 of his 26 RBI on the season. Rotowire.com Today, 6:05 am
