  • Headed to Triple-A this weekend
    Astros manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that Abreu will play for the Florida Complex League Astros on Wednesday and Thursday before reporting to Triple-A Sugar Land this weekend, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The Astros previously hadn't ruled out Abreu rejoining them Friday, but they've ultimately decided to keep the veteran with the FCL Astros for a little longer before having him compete at a higher level. Espada did not rule out Abreu rejoining the big club before the end of the weekend, although nothing official has been decided on that front. Whether Abreu will immediately retake his starting first base job from Jon Singleton is not yet clear. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

  • Provides two-run blast
    Brown went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Brown took Justin Lawrence deep in the seventh to knot the game up at four. He's now homered in two of his last three games and has a hit in three straight but is still struggling to get going overall at the plate. He's slashing just .185/.236/.336 with five homers, 13 RBI, seven runs and an 8:42 BB:K in 127 plate appearances. Strikeouts have become a noticeable issue for the 31-year-old, as he's currently striking out at a 33.1 percent clip. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Hitting bench Wednesday
    Renfroe is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: The veteran outfielder will get a breather for the day game after he had started in right field in each of the Royals' last three contests. Renfroe has mustered a lowly .518 OPS over 144 plate appearances on the season, but he's shown some signs of life of late by going 6-for-24 with a home run and 3:3 BB:K over his last seven games.

  • Leaves yard Tuesday
    Davis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's in over the Rockies.

    Advice: Davis got the A's on the board with a solo blast off Cal Quantrill in the third inning. It was his first home run since he had two against the Guardians on March 29 and just his second hit in his last 20 plate appearances since May 11. The 31-year-old has lost out on playing time due to his offensive struggles. He's now slashing .196/.237/.337 with seven extra-base hits, three RBI, 10 runs and a 4:25 BB:K in 97 plate appearances.

  • Pops fourth homer Tuesday
    Raley went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Yankees on Tuesday.

    Advice: The Mariners had their power stroke in solid form Tuesday, and Raley delivered one of four homers for Seattle on the night. The surging outfielder extended his hitting streak to eight games in the process, a stretch where he's left the yard on three occasions overall and has struck out at an atypically low 18.2 percent clip.

  • Getting regular work at first base
    Gallo will start at first base and bat seventh in Wednesday's game against the Twins, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Since being activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Gallo has now drawn six consecutive starts, with all coming at first base. While Joey Meneses has moved to designated hitter to accommodate Gallo, the Nationals might not have regular room in the lineup for Gallo once Lane Thomas (knee) returns from the injured list, perhaps as soon as this weekend. Gallo has gone 3-for-17 with nine strikeouts through his first five starts since coming off the IL, and he's produced a career-worst .579 OPS this season while striking out at a 47.3 percent clip.

  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Manzardo is absent from the lineup in Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: In Jose Quintana, the Guardians are facing their second southpaw since Kyle Manzardo was promoted, and the left-handed hitting rookie has been on the bench for both of them. Jose Ramirez is getting a start at designated hitter Wednesday, with Gabriel Arias handling third base. Rotowire.com Today, 7:55 am
     
  • Day off versus left-hander
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: The Mets are starting left-hander Jose Quintana and the two teams are concluding the series with a day game after a night game, so it's a sensible spot for Guardians manager Stephen Vogt to give the left-handed-hitting Naylor a breather. David Fry will start at first base Wednesday in Naylor's stead. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 am
