    • Resting against lefty
      Wisely is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Wisely will take a seat for the second time during the four-game series with the Cubs while Chicago sends another lefty (Shota Imanaga) to the hill. Nick Ahmed will fill in for Wisely at shortstop, while outfielder Austin Slater replaces Wisely atop the batting order. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

    • Sitting against lefty Thursday
      Villar is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Wilmer Flores will man first base while the Cubs send southpaw Shota Imanaga to the mound, but even though he's a right-handed hitter like Flores, Villar looks as though he'll be the preferred option against right-handed pitching. Villar started both of the last two nights against righties, going 1-for-5 with a home run and two RBI. The 27-year-old's stay atop the depth chart may not last long, however, as top first baseman LaMonte Wade (hamstring) is in the midst of a rehab assignment and could be activated from the injured list as soon as this weekend.

      Advice: Bailey will get a breather for Thursday's day game after he started behind the plate in both of the first two games of the series. Curt Casali will spell him at catcher, forming a battery with starting pitcher Jordan Hicks. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
       
    • Red Sox option Tyler Heineman to the minors
      Red Sox optioned Tyler Heineman to Triple-A Worcester.

    • Not in Arizona lineup
      Suarez is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Twins.

      Advice: Suarez had started each of the previous eight games but went just 2-for-24 over that stretch to drop his season line down to .192/.274/.312. The Diamondbacks are giving Kevin Newman a start at third base Thursday. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
       
    • Red Sox activate Connor Wong from paternity list
      Red Sox activated Connor Wong from the Paternity List.

      Advice: Wong was placed on the paternity list on Monday and wound up missing two games for the Red Sox. He should be back in the starting lineup soon. Tyler Heineman was optioned back to Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Benintendi will hit the bench for the second time in four games while the face another left-handed starting pitcher (Chris Sale). Corey Julks will pick up a start in left field in Benintendi's place. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

    • Filling in for resting Lee
      Maldonado will start at catcher and bat ninth in Thursday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Top backstop Korey Lee is getting a breather for the day game after he started at catcher in each of the previous days, so Maldonado will get a turn behind the plate. Maldonado is valued for his defense, but with an .088/.140/.132 slash line and a minus-24 wRC+, he's been the league's least-productive hitter among all players with at least 100 plate appearances this season.
