  • Shipped to Boston
    The Red Sox acquired Short from the Mets on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.

    Advice: Short had been designated for assignment but has now found a new home. The utility infielder is out of minor-league options, so he will join the Red Sox's 26-man active roster. Rotowire.com Today, 9:05 am

  • Red Sox acquire Zack Short from Mets
    Red Sox acquired INF Zack Short from the Mets in exchange for cash considerations.

    Advice: Short was designated for assignment on Tuesday by the Mets, but it appears the Red Sox were interested in the 28-year-old infielder. He’ll add depth for the Red Sox infield, but he doesn’t hold much fantasy value given his dreadful offensive numbers (1-for-12) through the first month of the season. Rotoworld Today, 9:04 am

  • Tyler Black batting cleanup in first MLB start
    Tyler Black is batting cleanup and playing first base in his first MLB start against the Rays on Wednesday.

    Advice: The Brewers’ No. 4 prospect will be thrown into an opportune spot in his first major league start. Black got his first taste of the big leagues on Tuesday when he came in as a pinch hitter and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run. The 25-year-old came to Milwaukee batting .303 with five homers and three steals at Triple-A Nashville this season and is absolutely worth stashing in all fantasy formats given his power and speed if he’s still available.

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

    Advice: Lopez's streak of six consecutive starts will come to an end Wednesday as White Sox manager Pedro Grifol gives the second baseman the afternoon off in a day game after a night game. Braden Shewmake will spell Lopez at the keystone, while designated hitter Robbie Grossman takes over as the White Sox's leadoff hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 8:55 am

  • Heads to bench Wednesday
    Ortiz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

    Advice: Ortiz looks to be getting some routine maintenance for the day game after a night game, with Oliver Dunn spelling him at third base. The rookie had started at third base or second base in each of the past five games, reaching base at a .476 clip while recording four extra-base hits (one home run, three doubles) and a stolen base during that stretch.

  • Returns to bench role
    Farmer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Farmer will hit the bench for Wednesday's series finale after he had started in each of the last five games (three at second base, two at third base). The platoon-happy Twins should continue to find room for the righty-hitting Farmer in the lineup when southpaws are on the mound for the opposition, but Farmer's opportunities at third base will likely become more scarce moving forward. Carlos Correa returned from the 10-day injured list Monday to take back an everyday role at shortstop, and Edouard Julien and Willi Castro look first in line to start at second and third base, respectively, when the Twins oppose righties.

  • Isaac Paredes not in lineup for Rays on Wed.
    Isaac Paredes is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s matchup against the Brewers.

    Advice: The 25-year-old has been one of the few bright spots through the first month of the season for Tampa Bay, but he’ll get some rest on Wednesday. Paredes leads the team in with seven home runs and 17 RBI in his 29 games played this season. No other player on the roster has more than three round trippers. Rotoworld Today, 8:38 am

  • Receives Wednesday off
    Paredes is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Paredes will exit the lineup for the first time since April 18, ending a stretch of 11 consecutive starts during which he posted an .848 OPS. Curtis Mead will spell Paredes at third base and will bat ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 8:19 am

  • Absent from lineup
    Biggio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Biggio had started each of the last five contests for the Blue Jays but will begin Wednesday's game on the bench. Toronto will turn to Davis Schneider at second base and Addison Barger in left field. Rotowire.com Today, 8:10 am
