      The Pirates recalled Palacios from Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

      Advice: Palacios got a late start to the season at Indianapolis due to injury, but he collected a .934 OPS since returning last month. It's possible Palacios will get some run in the outfield with the Pirates struggling to find production from the center and right field spots, but he will begin Thursday's game versus the Cardinals on the bench.

    • Stays hot in win
      O'Hearn went 2-for-3 with a double, a homer, three RBI and two runs scored in Wednesday's win over Seattle while also drawing a walk.

      Advice: O'Hearn reached in each of his first three trips to the plate, smacking a two-run double in the third and a solo homer in the fifth, with the latter extending Baltimore's lead to four runs. It was the first baseman's third consecutive game with multiple hits, while he's also reached safely in 15 straight. O'Hearn is now 4-for-7 (.571) with two doubles, a homer and three RBI through just two games to open the month of July after batting .321 with 16 RBI in June. Rotowire.com Today, 7:19 am

    • Out of Pittsburgh lineup
      Olivares is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Cardinals.

      Advice: Olivares started Wednesday's win over St. Louis in the cleanup spot but went hitless. Connor Joe is drawing the start in right field for the series finale Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 7:06 am
       
    • Out against left-hander
      Siani is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh.

      Advice: With southpaw Martin Perez on the hill for the Pirates, the left-handed hitting Siani will begin the contest on the bench. Switch-hitter Dylan Carlson will patrol center field for the Cardinals. Rotowire.com Today, 7:00 am
       
    • Absent from lineup
      Buxton is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers.

      Advice: Buxton started each of the previous four contests but will begin Thursday's festivities on the bench. The Twins are going with Austin Martin in center field in the rubber match of the series. Rotowire.com Today, 6:19 am
       
    • Sitting versus southpaw
      Winker is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

      Advice: Lefty Jose Quintana is taking the mound Thursday for New York, so Winker will hit the bench for the third time in four games. Harold Ramirez will receive another start at designated hitter as the pair continue to platoon the position. Rotowire.com Today, 6:15 am

    • Records 10th steal
      Merrill went 2-for-5 with one RBI and one stolen base in Wednesday's 6-4 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Merrill stole his first base since June 9. Over the 20 games between thefts, the rookie outfielder impressed, hitting .347 with nine home runs, 19 RBI and 14 runs scored. For the season, he's at a .293/.326/.458 slash line with 12 homers, 10 steals, 43 RBI and 39 runs scored over 86 contests while taking on a near-everyday role in center field.

    • Shines in loss
      Crow-Armstrong went 2-for-3 with two doubles, two RBI and one stolen base in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Phillies.

      Advice: This was his first multi-hit game since June 22. Crow-Armstrong has displayed good baserunning this year, swiping 16 bags without getting caught, but his chances have been limited. He's batting just .199 with a .247 on-base percentage, and he's added one home run, 15 RBI and eight runs scored over 150 plate appearances. He continues to patrol center field against opposing right-handed pitchers, and his playing time should remain steady through the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:50 pm
       
    • Ryan O’Hearn drives in three in win vs. Mariners
      Ryan O’Hearn went 2-for-3 with a home run, two runs scored, three RBI, and a walk in the Orioles’ 4-1 win over the Mariners on Wednesday.

      Advice: O’Hearn had a big day at the plate against Seattle, starting with a walk in the first inning. Then he doubled in the third to put the Orioles on the board with two runs and scored on a single by Ryan Mountcastle. O’Hearn later slugged a solo homer off Logan Gilbert to extend the lead in the fifth. The 30-year-old first baseman is slashing .294/.355/.485 with 11 homers and 37 RBI across 259 plate appearances.
