  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Merrill is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Rockies.

    Advice: The Rockies are sending southpaw Austin Gomber to the hill, so Padres manager Mike Shildt decided it would be a good day to give the left-handed-hitting Merrill a breather. Jose Azocar will patrol center field Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 10:24 am
     
  • Mariners send Sam Haggerty to Triple-A
    Mariners optioned INF/OF Sam Haggerty to Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: Haggerty was 1-for-15 since being recalled on Apr. 29. His versatility makes him a fair enough 26th man, but the Mariners don’t have much need for him right now. Rotoworld Today, 10:23 am

  • Elly De La Cruz sits for first time this season
    Elly De La Cruz is absent from the Reds lineup Wednesday for the first time this season.

    Advice: No word of any injury, and we’re going to assume this was a planned day off. Spencer Steer got one yesterday, and he also had been in the lineup every game this season. The Reds have Santiago Espinal at shortstop today. Rotoworld Today, 10:20 am
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: He'll get a breather for Wednesday's afternoon game after starting behind the plate both of the past two days while going 4-for-9 with two doubles and three runs. Luke Maile will get the starting nod behind the plate in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 10:20 am
     
  • Taking seat Wednesday
    Arraez is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Arraez will get his second day off since he was acquired from the Marlins earlier this month. The Padres will have Manny Machado fill the designated-hitter spot while Donovan Solano covers third base. Jurickson Profar will bat leadoff in Arraez's stead. Rotowire.com Today, 10:18 am

  • CJ Abrams sits against tough lefty
    Like the rest of the Nationals’ lefty hitters, CJ Abrams is on the bench for Wednesday’s game against Garrett Crochet and the White Sox.

    Advice: It makes for a weird lineup, as Ildemaro Vargas is playing left field and batting third and Rule 5 pick Nasim Nuñez is making just his second start of the year. It’s the first time Abrams has sat since Apr. 8, when he was dealing with hand soreness. Rotoworld Today, 10:16 am
     
  • Receives first day off
    De La Cruz is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Arizona.

    Advice: For the first time all season, De La Cruz will exit the starting nine for what looks to be a routine maintenance day before the Reds continue their road trip Thursday in Los Angeles. Santiago Espinal will step in at shortstop in place of De La Cruz, who has slowed down a bit at the plate of late with two hits and six strikeouts in 14 at-bats over his last three games.

  • Swipes second bag
    Outman went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run and a stolen base Tuesday in a 10-2 win against the Giants.

    Advice: Batting out of the No. 9 hole, Outman reached base twice for the first time since May 4 and knocked just his second extra-base hit since April 24. It's been a struggle for the outfielder in his sophomore MLB campaign, as he's slashing a meager .155/.256/.282 with three homers, 10 RBI, two steals and a 31.6 percent strikeout rate through 117 plate appearances. He's gone 2-for-22 with 10 punchouts over eight games in May. Rotowire.com Today, 10:09 am
     
  • On bench against lefty
    Suwinski is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Lefty Robert Gasser is on the bump for Milwaukee, so the lefty-hitting Suwinski will retreat to the bench for the series finale. Edward Olivares will fill in for Suwinski in right field and will bat fifth. Rotowire.com Today, 10:06 am
