    • Justin Verlander playing catch every other day
      Astros’ manager Joe Espada told reporters on Wednesday that Justin Verlander (neck) is now playing catch every other day.

      Advice: There’s still no timeline on a potential return to the Astros’ rotation, but it’s encouraging to hear that the 41-year-old hurler is ramping back up. He’ll probably require a rehab start or two before he’s ultimately ready to return. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him back prior to the All-Star break. Rotoworld Today, 2:24 pm
       
    • Back with Brewers
      The Brewers recalled Junk from Triple-A Nashville on Wednesday.

      Advice: Since his last appearance in the majors May 5, Junk has posted a 1.17 ERA and 1.24 WHIP alongside a 19:5 K:BB across 15.1 innings in Triple-A. He'll now be called upon to add depth to Milwaukee's bullpen as Enoli Paredes (forearm) heads to the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 2:24 pm
       
    • Lands on injured list
      The Brewers placed Paredes on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right forearm tendinitis.

      Advice: Paredes has been effective in middle relief for the Brewers this season, posting a 1.08 ERA in 16.2 innings. However, he allowed a hit and two walks in just one-third of an inning during his latest outing Tuesday and appears to have come away from the appearance with an injury. As a result, he'll now be forced to sit out at least through the All-Star break. Janson Junk will come up from Triple-A Nashville to fill the opening in Milwaukee's bullpen.

    • Cody Bradford (back) resumes throwing off mound
      Rangers’ manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that Cody Bradford (back) has resumed throwing off of a mound.

      Advice: Bochy also noted that when Bradford is ready to return that he’ll be utilized as a reliever instead of a starter. That’s because with the return of Max Scherzer and with Jacob deGrom and Tyler Mahle working their way back, the rotation outlook looks very muddled. From a fantasy perspective, it’s hard to envision Bradford making much of an impact upon his return if he’s not pitching out of the rotation. Rotoworld Today, 2:16 pm

    • Corey Seager (hand) out of Rangers initial lineup
      Corey Seager (hand) is not in the Rangers’ initial starting lineup for Wednesday night’s showdown against the Padres.

      Advice: Rangers’ skipper Bruce Bochy did say that he’ll talk to Seager before the game though and that there’s a chance he could still be added to the lineup. Either way, that bodes well for his status going forward as he seems very close to a return. Expect him back in action on Thursday if he doesn’t talk his way into Wednesday’s lineup.

    • Brewers recall Janson Junk from Triple-A
      Brewers recalled RHP Janson Junk from Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: Junk will get another chance to work out of the big-league bullpen with Enoli Paredes (forearm) heading to the injured list. The 28-year-old hurler has appeared in just three games for the Brewers this season, posting a 9.00 ERA, 2.80 WHIP and a 3/1 K/BB ratio over five innings of work. Rotoworld Today, 2:10 pm
       
    • Brewers place Enoli Paredes (forearm) on 15-day IL
      Brewers placed RHP Enoli Paredes on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis.

      Advice: The severity of the injury — and how much time Paredes may stand to miss — are not yet known. It’s a big blow to the Brewers’ bullpen though as Paredes has been outstanding this season, posting a 1.08 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and a 12/8 K/BB ratio over 16 2/3 innings. Janson Junk was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move to take his place in the Brewers’ bullpen. Rotoworld Today, 2:09 pm
       
    • On bench again
      Seager (wrist) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against San Diego.

      Advice: Seager will be held out of the starting lineup for a third straight contest despite having his X-rays come back negative Monday. Josh Smith will bat second and play shortstop Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:10 pm
       
    • Homers in Tuesday's win
      Wade went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-3 win over Atlanta.

      Advice: Wade has gone 3-for-13 (.231) with two walks over three games since he returned from missing a month with a hamstring injury. The 30-year-old had been hitting atop the order prior to the injury, but the Giants have had him in the No. 2 spot with Jorge Soler at leadoff recently. Wade has just three homers over 55 games this year, but he's maintained a .324/.459/.437 slash line with 18 RBI, 24 runs scored and a stolen base. His 19.8-percent walk rate has helped to keep his ratios strong even if he's lacking in counting stats. Rotowire.com Today, 9:41 am
